The old Medoctec fort was on the west bank of the River St. John about eight miles below the town of Woodstock. The spring is readily identified; an apparently inexhaustible supply of pure cold water flows from it even in the driest season.
See “Feudal Chiefs of Acadia,” by Parkman in Atlantic Monthly of January and February, 1893.
Dr. Ganong is probably correct in identifying the “River de Maquo” with Maquapit and the “mines” with the coal mines at Newcastle in Queens county. In this case the sieur de Martignon owned the lands on the north side of Grand Lake including the site of the old Indian village at Indian point where so any relics have been discovered. It is quite possible that the sieur de Martignon and his wife, Jeanne de la Tour, may have lived there for a time.
