I found handwritten information on the Geneology written by Bernard S Payeur of Island Pond, Vermont. Sent that to everyone. It follows. His great, great, great grandfather Christopher Payeur arrived in Canada from Germany (Also our ancestor) in 1757. A farmer, he was the first Payeur on the continent. He settled on a farm the Canadian government was offering to settlers, near the present town of St. Giles, east of the St Lawrence River. He married a Canadian Catholic girl by the name of Madeline Gendron (date unknown) They had 11 children. One of them was Louis Payeur, born at St Nicholas 4/9/1790 He married Marguerite Demers 7/30/11. They had 14 children. He married again to Siajie Aubin and had 9 more children for a total of 23.
