Notes

The 1811 Census of Petit de Grat records Gregory Richard with 1 Male 14 to 60, 1 Female 14 to 60, 3 Males under 14, 3 Females under 14, no Males or Females over 60, and 6 Males and Females Unmarried. This implies Gregory Richard and his wife likely have 6 children - 3 boys and 3 girls. Gregory is the only Richard recorded in the 1811 Census of Petit de Grat.

The 1813 Militia Roll for Petit de Grat records Agrieola Richard age 43 born Cape Breton Fisherman with 1 Woman, 3 Boys, and 3 Girls. Agrieola is the only Richard recorded in the 1813 Militia Roll for Petit de Grat.

Gregory Richard is the only Richard in the 1811 Census of Petit de Grat, and Agrieola Richard is the only Richard in the 1813 Militia Roll for Petit de Grat. Gregory and Agrieola have identical families - 1 wife, 3 sons, and 3 daughters. It is reasonable to conclude Gregory and Agrieola are the same person.

Agrieola Richard's age 43 implies a year of birth about 1770, consistent with the birth of Agicole, son of Jean Richard and Marie Thériot, on December 27 1770. Given the uniqueness of of his name and consistency of his age, it is reasonable to conclude it is Agicole, son of Jean Richard and Marie Thériot, who resides in Petit de Grat in 1811 and 1813.
