Maybe others did also. They're a tough bunch to track down. I actually had about a half dozen others but they have been moved so I need to search for them again - if they still exist. As I recall, they didn't add that much to what is above. If you should run into anything to do with Medor Cahah' (Cayie/Kiyee/Cajais/Caya) - also known as Peter C. Medor of Swanton VT - please get in touch. I'm pretty sure he was born 8th May 1803 although his gravestone says 8th May 1814 - I think I can disprove the birth according to gravestone and death record. He died 25th July 1890 in Swanton. His family is reasonable well documented but I cannot locate any details on his father or his wife. The father was probably also called Medor Cahah' and the wife was Marguerite Julia St.Pitie/St.Pierre. I think he was probably either born on the St. Francis settlement and then lived in St. Regis before going to Swanton VT, else he may have been born in St. Regis while his father was living there. His youngest daughter was my mother in law's grandmother.
