Gaudet Village at Annapolis Royal River is named after him. ("AGE", Vol. XX, p. 29).






DC0119 Around the time of the treaty of Breda (1667), which officially restored Acadia to France, Denis Gaudet migrated towards the top of the Port Royal river. His now adolescent sons would be assured of their own possession of land to begin their own establishments. They were the first colonists in this locality situated about 20 kilometres upriver from the fort. They went on to create a large domain on both sides of the river in the region of present Bridgetown, Nova Scotia. Denis and his two sons both named Pierre (one surnamed l'Ainé, and the other le Jeune), constructed the new farm on the north bank. A map drawn by the surveyor George Mitchell in 1733 shows five habitations at one "Godet Village," at the north-east end of the valley, at a place where the river turns to the south and the space which separates the North and South Mountains gets wider. The author of the history of the town of Bridgetown, Elizabeth Coward, who knows the region thoroughly, places the location of Gaudet Village to the south-eastof the present Riverside Cemetery, at the inner limits of the town of Bridgetown, on land which later belonged to the Chipman family and who correspond to number 133 in the cadastral survey of Grandville Township. At the start of the 17th century, the lawyer-poet Marc Lescarbot described the surroundings at the top of the river (translated from French): "...we are full of desire in seeing the country upstream of the river where we find the prairies (marshes) virtually continuous for more than 12 leagues, among which flow numerous streams that come from the hills and mountains nearby; the forests are plentiful to the waters edge... and there are many bright clearings a long way from the shores..." In the census of the Port Royal river valley in 1671, Denis Gaudet gives his age as 46 years old, his wife Martine Gauthier was 52 years old. They had five children, two were married: Anne Gaudet was 25 years old (married to Pierre Vincent); Marie Gaudet was 21 years old (married to Olivier Daigre, who lived opposite Gaudet Village on the south bank); Pierre Gaudet l'Ainé, aged 20; Pierre Gaudet le Jeune, aged 17; Marie Gaudet, aged 14. All were farmers. Denis had six arpents of cultivated land (an arpent = roughly 5/6 of an acre), nine horned cattle and 13 sheep, some large, some small. In the census of Port Royal in 1693, Denis Gaudet was a widower aged 70 years. He was living with his son Pierre le Jeune who married Marie Blanchard. \DC0119

History found in Houma Courier, Terrebonne Parish, LA, July 27, 1999, section A

Bourg/Bourque
Some say that the Acadian Bourg/Bourque family is originally from Normandy and decended from William the Conqueror who invaded England in 1066 and became the English king. According to this theory, the Bourgs and Bourques of Acadia were thus related to the English royal family that had them deported from Acadia and are also related to the present royal family of England.
Royalty or not, the most likely arrival date of the first Bourgs in Acadia was 1632, when Antoine Bourg probably arrived with Commander Isaac de Razilly who brought 300 "elite" men to the colony, including a dozen or so families. Antoine was the son of Simon Bourg, and he was born in 1609 in Martaize, France, in the region of Loudon, Department de la Vienne. Antoine was accompained by his parents, and at least one sister, Perrine.
In 1636, the Bourg family moved to Port Royal, which had once again come under French rule.
Antoine married Antoinette Landry in Acadia some time around 1641-43. Antoinette was born in France in 1618 and came to Acadia with her sister, Perrine Landry, and two of her brothers, Rene, her twin, and Jean Claude. Jean Claude brought his wife, Marie Salle and their child, Rene, as well as the three children from Marie Salle's first marriage, Martin, Jeanne and Michelle Aucoin.
Antoine and Antoinette Bourg established themselves on the west bank of the R Riviere des Dauphins (Annapolis River today), and their settlement eventually became known as the "hameau des Bourg" or "Bourg Village" They had 12 children.
By the census of 1671, Antoine had given most of his land to a son, Jehan, who was married to Marguerite Martin and who already had two children of his own. Jehan later added six more girls and one son to his family.
Antoine's oldest son, Francois, was also married by 1671 and lived two farms down from his parents. Antoine's son, Bernard, had become fairly rich by the standards to the time, with 35 aprents in cultivation, two muskets, 10 cows, 40 sheep, 12 pigs and 45 fruit trees.
An interesting item concerning the Bernard Bourg family is that their oldest daughter married Claude Dugas, while three sons and one daughter from Claude Dugas' first marriage to Francoise Bourgeois married three of the other children of Bernard Bourg. Thus Claude and three of his sons and one of his daughters had not only a parent child relationship, but they were also inlaws.
Martin Bourg, Antoine's fourth son, married Marie Potet and had nine children, at least one of whom left decendants who eventually came to Louisiana.
At some point in the early 1700's, a number of Bourg descendants moved to the Ile St. Jean (Prince Edward Island) to escape English rule. Two of these, who figure in the history of Bourg/Bourque families of Louisiana were Francois Louis, the son of Martin Bourg and Marie Potet, and the grandson of Antoine's first son Francois. This grandson was Jean Baptiste, the oldest son of Francois Bourg and Marguerite Boudrot.
Francois Louis was married to Cecile Michel. They lived at Riviere des Blonds on the Ile St. Jean, where they had eight children. Francois Louis and his family were deported by the English from the island in 1758. Francois Louis died at sea at the age of 80.
Jean Baptiste Bourg married Marie Pitre, who also lived at riviere des Blonds until deported with their family to St. Malo. Marie Pitre Bourg died at sea, and Jean Baptiste and the oldest daughter, Marguerite, died within a month of arriving in France.
One of the sons of Francois Louis, Jean Charles, died in France some time between 1777 and 1785. His widow, Madeleine Blanchard, and their family came to Louisiana from France aboard the ship "L'Amitie" in 1785. The family established itself in the vicinity of St. Martinville (Louisiana) and was the source of many of the Bourques in south central Louisiana.
Charles, the youngest son of Jean Baptiste Bourg, was deported to France with his family and later married Anne Thibodaux. Charles died in France, but his widow came to Louisiana in 1785 with the surviving members of the family. They settled first in present day Assumption Parish, near Plattenville. Some of these decendants made theri way into Lafourche and Terrebonne Parishes and make up a portion of the Bourg family in southeast Louisiana.
Arrived in Port Royal (Annapolis Royal), Richmond County, Annapolis, Nova
Scotia, Canadain 1636. Marriage also listed as 1643.

Name became Bourque as it decended down

Antoine married Landry, Antoinette 1636, Port Royal, Acadia, New France. Antoinette (daughter of Landry, Jean Claude and Salle, Anne Marie) was born 1618, Martaize, Loudun, Vienne, France; died 1686, 1686 census, acadia. [Group Sheet]
