Notes - The 1811 Census of River Bourgeois records John Landry Fisherman with 1 Male 14-60, 1 Female 14-60, 3 Males under 14, and 1 Female under 14.
The 1813 Militia Roll for River Bourgeois records John Landry age 40 born Cape Breton Fisherman with 1 Woman, 3 Boys, and 2 Girls.
The 1838 Census of River Bourgeois records John and Marie Landrie Sen'r Fisherman with 1 Male age 6-14, 1 Female age 6-14, 2 Males over 14, and 1 Female over 14 for a total of 7 persons. The Census records Supperean (sic) and Millie Landrie, and Ferdin and Millie Dugaut (sic) as separate families in River Bourgeois. The Census also records Vital and Sophia Petepas (sic) in D'Escousse. There is no Census entry for a Jean Landry (or variant spelling) with a wife Rosalie. As son Tranquille married in 1840, he is likely one of the Males over 14. It is likely Jean Landry, his first wife Rosalie Petitpas, and their 2 children are the others recorded with Jean Landry and Marie Dugas in this Census.

1807 Land Petition from Peter Landree, John Landree, Thomas Landree, and Benoni Landree along with 3 others, asks for a crown lease at River Bourgeois on which they have been settled since 1789. As Peter, Thomas, and Benoni are sons of Pierre Landry and Anne Clerge and as John is included in this Petition, it is reasonable to believe John is also a son of Pierre Landry and Anne Clergé. See Notes for Pierre Jean Landry, son of Pierre Landry and Anne Clergé, for further information - [S579] Correspondence with Paul Landry (2012).

States John Landry is "formerly of the River Bourgeois" and "my daughter Sophia Petipas (sic) she promising to keep me and my wife". It seems likely Jean Landry was residing with his daughter Sophia at the time of his death, and so was residing in D'Escousse. The D'Escousse Burials for 1854 and 1855 "have gone missing" which would explain the lack of a burial record for Jean Landry.
