His descendants changed their last name to Pasquet and later to Paquet when they moved in the 1800s from Quebec City to St. Georges de Windsor in southern Quebec where they farmed. In the 1890s many Quebec families moved to the New England states to find employment in textile and shoe factories. One line of descent from Etienne Pasquier left St. Georges de Windsor, changed the spelling of their surname a third time to Paquette, and settled in Sanford, Maine where their descendants remain. This genealogy traces the Pasquier/Paquette line of descent from 1665 to 2018 with emphasis on their settlement in St. Georges de Windsor, Quebec and Sandord, Maine.

The Pink House has always been a private residence. It has never been open to the public. Therefore, this may be the reason for the many unexplained stories that surfaced over 150 years about the home built by Edwin Bradford Hall. Mr. Hall and his descendants remained very private people in both the celebration of life and the sadness of grief over death. Mrs. Fannie Hall Carpenter, the daughter of Edwin B. Hall, lived a more secluded life after the death of her husband, John Milton Carpenter, in 1926 until her own death in 1958. As a result, the house retreated more from the realm of social interaction. Mrs. Carpenter's daughter, Florence Carpenter Woelfel, lived permanently in Columbus, Ohio returning to Wellsville for a few months each year. It was not until the retirement of Dr. Julian Woelfel in 1989, Edwin B. Hall's great-grandson, that The Pink House once again came back to life and was reintegrated into the Wellsville community under Julian's and Marcile's stewardship.

"One-room schools have always fascinated me because they were centers of learning where all grade were taught simultaneously and they were locally funded by the parents and the community without federal financial aid and almost no state educational assistance."

"One-room schools were a product of a patriotic agricultural America, which believed that education enriched one religiously, promoted economic opportunity and social mobility while anchoring communities around a school."

"In writing this history on one-room schools in Allegany County, I hope to return to the County and its residents a concise narrative in both words and pictures its educational history as a way to thank the educators and schools who nurtures me through 13 years of learning."
