others back of St. Ann's and thence along the river to the French chapel six miles above.

The conclusion of the story of Hazen and White's masting operations must be deferred to the next of these papers.

Antoine Gougeon, aged 45, was a resident of Port Royal in 1671. His wife was Jean Chebrat, and his only child was one girl. The census does not give us the name or the age of this young lady. Gougeon was quite well off, being the owner of 20 head of horned cattle and 17 sheep, and having to arpents of land under tillage. The name does not appear in the census of 1686, nor in that of 1714. No person of that name signed the oath of 1730, and the name does not appear in the list of those deported from Mines by Winslow in 1755, or among those who were at Beausejour in 1752. The conclusion would seem to be irresistable that Antoine Gougeon was dead in 1686, and that he left no son to continue his name. On the other hand, we have the name of Goguen represented by more than one hundred families in Kent, and a few in Northumberland and Westmorland. Is this the same name as Gougeon? I must leave this question open, for I do not feel competent to decide it.
