Explanation of spelling of name: sometimes spelled Golan, which is phonetic spelling of his name: Gaulin. Later records replaced the final letter "n" with an "r" and thus was born the name known locally as Goler. Although he and his family were known by the name Goler, the church continued to use the original spelling: he was born Louis-Elie Gaulin and he had a son baptized as Lewis Elias Gaulin in Jan 1823, but who later was Lewis E. Goler, like his father. His daughter, my great-grandmother, was Marie Gaulin in the church but Mary Goler locally.
He married 13 Oct 1818 in Kingston, ON, Canada at age 22,
