Herline / Ellen / Adeline Gagnon

Life in context.

42. Herline / Ellen Gagnon (c. 1839–?)
Lorraine Nourie Lewis identified Delilah’s parents as Eugene Bourassa and Herline/Ellen Gagnon. Other project records contain variants such as Marie Arlene Ellen. This edition keeps those forms together rather than creating multiple women from spelling variation. Her life is still poorly documented, making her an important target for tribal, church and civil record research.
Evidence status. Direct working relationship supported by family-published CPN material; exact name form and parentage remain open.
Citizen Potawatomi Nation roll-line image supplied by the family. This is an official-record image, not a portrait.
