In Early Day Transactions of One Hundred Years ago Gone Over
Tuesday and Wednesday of this week were taken up in the Circuit court in
determining the legal heirs of Louis Gurnoe, who died some twenty-five years
ago. It was claimed by the petitioner, John Gurnoe, son of Louis, and the
representative of the children of Louis Gurnoe by Archange Cadotte, that his
branch of the family are the only legitimate children and heirs at law of Louis
Gurnoe. This was disputed by Isabelle Cota, and her descendants who contend that
previous to the marriage of Louis Gurnoe and Archange Cadotte in 1820, Gurnoe
had taken unto himself a lawful wife in the person of Angelique Defoe and that
his children by her, to- wit: Isabella Cota, Frank, Louis and Joseph Gurnoe are
his legal heirs. Many interesting features arose during the progress of the
trial, as, in attempting to prove the marriage of Gurnoe and Angelique Defoe
1809, the marriage ceremonies as performed by the Indians, and by contract with
witnesses in the early days of the Sault were pretty thoroughly described by
witnesses, some of them so far removed from youth that their own ages had been
long since forgotten. The Gurnoe family was represented by E. S. B. Sutton, C.
C. Yerkes and M. J. Doyle and the Cotal branch by J. W. McMahon. Decision
reserved.
