Hi do you have anything on a Baine family from the same areas

Hello, My great Grandfather John Henry Bell moved to Anoka from St. George Parish, Charlotte County, New Brunswick, Canada with his younger brother Samuel E. Bell. This was in 1881 and his parents John & Mary Jane Bell received a land grant for 200 acres in 1840, where they raised their eleven children. On that land grant there is a Peter Goss who had property on the southern border of the Bell Homestead. Could this be one of your Goss family? Daniel Bell, Elk River MN
