Steven White of the Centres d'Etudes Acadiennes has doubts about parent

It has been shown that Antoine and his brother, Etienne Hebert,the progenitors of the Acadian Heberts. Antoine worked as a copper (barrel maker). He (and many of the early Acadians) were thought to have been recruited by Charles D'MenouAulnay from the area of SE of Loudon (Martaize, La Chausse)


Arrived in New France in 1640,along with his brother Etienne. Whether they arrived together is not known for sure. It has been shown that Antoine and Etienne Hebert, the progenitors of Acadian Heberts, were brothers. For a long time, it was thought that they had a 3rd brother,Jacques, and were sons of Jacques Hebert and Marie Juneau of France. It has since been shown that Jacques (Jr. and Sr.) were actually Haberts,and not related to Antoine and Etienne. We still do not know the exact origin of these two brothers. It is commonly assumed that Antoine married Genevieve in France. DeSaulnier says Antoine had married earlier in France and had left behind 4 children in France. His birth year,according to census reports, ranges from 1614 to 1621. His arrival date in Acadian is unknown. Some say he came in 1640, while others put the date closer to 1648. Since neither he nor Etienne produced children before 1648, the latter date may be more accurate. Antoine worked as a cooper(barrel maker). He (and many of the early Acadians) were thought to have been recruited by Charles d'Menou Aulnay from the area SE of Loudon(Martaize, LaChaussee, etc.).


Possibly arrived in New France in 1648 on the ship La Verve with his wife and brother.


[hebert.ged] Brian Comeaux, "The Morning Advocate, May 7, 1998, Baton Rouge,La.,"Column by Damon Veach, entitled "Louisiana Ancestors". The first Acadian census in 1671 mentions two Hebert families. The first was that of Anthoine Hebert and his wife, Genevieve Lafrance, and the second was that of the widow of Estienne Hebert---Maire Gaudet. Due to the number of certificates of marriage dispensation that still exist, it has been possible to determine that Anthoine and Estienne Hebert were brothers.They were the sons of Jacques Hebert & Marie Juneau of Balesmes, in the present day French department of Indre-et-Loire, located near the city of Tours. They came to Port Royal around 1648 during the governorship of Charles de Menou d'Aulnay, whose French seigneurie was not far from Balesmes. Anthoine was apparently married before his departure and came to Port Royal with his wife. Estienne married within a year of his arrival to Marie Gaudet, the daughter of Jehan Gaudet and Francoise Marie Daussy. They were two of the earliest Acadian settlers. Today the Hebert family is one of the largest in Louisiana. There are concentrations of thefamilies throughtout Acadiana, but especially in Lafayette, Vermilion, Lafourche and Terrebonne parishes.




Ray Arcement@usa.net (unknown website) Antoine was a cooper and arrived in Acadia in July 1640 under a recruitment by Charles de Menoud'Aulnay. He and his brother were the progenitors of all of the Acadian Hebert's and their descendants. They were under the command of Germain Doucet, Seiur la Verdure, Captain of Arms of Pentagoet.

Antoine Hebert arrived in Acadia in 1640 with his brother. In 1645, he married Genevieve LeFranc at Port Royal (Acadia).. Newspaper articlestates that Antoine was born in Martiaize in theregion of Loudun, France.


[2051196-Allen-Burgess.ged.FTW] Antione Hebert was the son of Jacques Hebert and Marie Juneau,fromLa-Haya-Descartes, parich of Balesnes, in Touraine, France. GenevieveLe France was coming from France.


Two brothers traveled to and settled in Acadia some say in about 1640 still others say in 1648. The Heberts of Acadia have come from two sources. Antoine Hebert, born between 1614 and 1621, and married around 1648 to Genevieve Lefranc, probably a widow, who was born in 1613. Etienne Hebert, whose date of birth is unknown to us, died before the census of 1671, was married at Port Royal around 1650 to Marie Gaudet, daughter of Jean Gaudet and Nicole Colson. a chi Dispensations which were sought by their descendants, proves that Antoine and Etienne Hebert were brothers. They were the source of the greater number of Heberts in Canada an the United States.


[11221a.ged] Antoine Hebert was born 1621 in LaHaye-Descarte, Balesne,Touraine,France1. He married Genevieve LaFranc 1639 in Touraine,France2. Notes for Antoine Hebert: Antoine was a cooper and arrived in Acadia inJuly 1640 under arecruitment by Danrles De Menou D'Aulnay. He and his brother, Etienne,were the progenitors of all of the Acadian HEBERTs and their descendants. They were under the command of Germain DOUCET, Sieur LaVerdure, Captain of Arms of Pentagoet. Children of Antoine Hebert and Genevieve LaFranc are: Jean Hebert, born 1649 in Acadia. Jean Baptiste Hebert, born 1653 in Port Royal, Acadia; died November 03,1710 in GrandPre, Acadia. Catherine Hebert, born 1656 in Port Royal, Acadia. from "Someday" - Homepage of Steve and Natalie Flemming and translated from the internet site List of Patronymes: Two Hbert brothers arrive at Port-Royal, in Acadie, between years 1645 and 1650. The elder one, Antoine Hbert was born between 1614 and 1621. It arrives with his wife Genevieve LeFrance. The junior, Estienne Hbert was born towards 1630. We are unaware of the name of their parents, nor the place of their exact origin. Perhaps originating in Tourraine or Loudunois, the Roadway, in Mortaiz. There is not any link with the pioneer of the pioneers, Louis Hbert. Present description, relates mainly to the ancestor Estienne Hbert, who creates us links of descent,in this genealogy. Estienne Hbert, ploughman and farmer,wife withPort-Royal, in 1650, Marie Gaudet, born between 1626 and 1633,girl of the ancestor Jehan Gaudet and Marie Daussay. tienne Hbert and Marie Gaudet have ten children, five wire and five girls, between 1651 and 1669, with Port-Royal, in Acadie. A girl and a son have descent which concerns us, in this genealogy. Marguerite Hbert was born into 1652, with Port-Royal and becomes the wife into 1678, of the ancestor Jacques-Nicolas LePrince, born into 1646, originating in St-Malo of Brittany. The son, tienne Hbert, born twin with Emmanuel, in 1654, wife in 1678, with Port-Royal,Jeanne Comeau, born in 1662, sister ofPierreComeau, known as Esturgeon and girl of the ancestorsPierre-Estienne Comeau and Rose Bayol. tienne Hbert and Jeanne Comeau have eight children, six girls and two boys, of which Jean-baptiste Hbert, born in 1692. Jean-baptiste marries with Large-Pre, about 1711, Jeanne-AnneBoudrot, then, after the death of this one, it marries on January 9,1719, lisabeth Granger, girl of Pierre Granger and lisabeth Guillebourg. With the fourth generation, Honore Hbert, born in 1738, in Pisiguit, marries on November 4, 1771, Madeleine Prince. In the fifth generation, Jean-Chrysostome Hbert, born in 1779, wife on April 20,1807, with Nicolet, Marie-Anne Hon, born in 1787, in Bcancour. Their daughter, Marie-Zoe Hbert, marry on January 11, 1836, Mose Boisvert, link which continues to my mother, Pierrette Boisvert. The ancestor Estienne Hbert dies into 1670. The grandmother, Marie Gaudet marries insecond weddings Domenica Garaut. The significance of the name Hbert, derived in Normandy from Herbert, itself resulting from the Germanic name Hari-Berht, is of Hari = armed, people and of Berht =shining, famous.

and from Tim Hebert's website The Hebert Genealogy:

1. Antoine2 HEBERT (1) was born 1614-1621 in France, and died in Port Royal, Acadia. He married Genevieve LEFRANCE. Notes It has been shown that Antoine and Etienne Hebert, the progenitors of Acadian Heberts, were brothers. For a long time, it was thought that they had a 3rd brother, Jacques, and were sons of Jacques Hebert and Marie Juneau of France. It has since been shown that Jacques (Jr. and Sr.)were actually Haberts, and not related to Antoine and Etienne. We still do not know the exact origin of these two brothers.

Arrived Acadia in 1636.
birth date of 1575, from _History of Annapolis_.

!ource: Historie ET Genealogie Des Acadiens, By Bona Arsenault Arrived Acadia 1636


Jehan Gaudet was registered at Port Royal in 1671; he was then 64 yearsold. In the early 1960's Genevive Massignon estimated that there were 576Acadian families with that name. The Gaudet, Hébert and LeBlanc families wereunited by matrimonial ties before leaving France.

In Martinique Elisabeth Gaudet was registered as a deportee from Acadia.She died there on January 10, 1766.


JEAN GAUDET is said to have arrived in Acadia with his son, Denis, and settled in Port Royal ca. 1640. The pair probably came from governor de Menou d'Aulnay's seigniory near Loudun, France. Other reports indicate he was in Acadia with his entire family much earlier (1610, 1614, 1632). However, it is more likely that Jean arrived with his family ca. 1640, as very few families were present in the early days of the young colony. According to the 1671 census for Port Royal, Jean is listed as 86 years old, which would place the date of his birth at 1585. Whether Jean arrived in 1610 or 1640, his wife Francoise-Marie Daussy appears to have died before 1640, for in 1641 Jean married Nicole Coleson. By the census of 1686, Nicole was listed as a widow.



Notes on this page, unless otherwise noted, are by Leonard William Gaudet A.K.A. Jean/Jehan Gaudet/Godet - Ronald Joseph Arthur Gaudet Jean (Jehan) Gaudet is considered to be the patriarch of the Gaudet family because he was the oldest & first Gaudet known to have come to Acadia. - Ronald Joseph Arthur Gaudet According to Massignon, in 1671 Jean Gaudet had 22 grand-children and 10 great-granchildren thus become the ancestor of one-tenth of the Acadian population. - Thom McCabe The Gaudet Family Coat of Arms In the 15th century, only royalty and some in the bourgeois class had coats of arms. None of the Acadian pioneers had coats of arms. Today, anyone can apply to the Canadian Heraldic Authority in Ottawa for a coat of arms. It was agreed upon at one of the 1993 general meetings of the Gaudet Association in New Brunswick, that Monsieur Robert Pichette, Fellow de la Société héraldique du Canada, be approached and asked if he would design a coat of arms that would represent the Acadian Jean Gaudet from Martaizé, France and all of his descendants. The coat of arms created for the 1994 reunion of the Gaudet families of Acadia at St-Joseph, New Brunswick, consists of the symbols which refer to the etymology of the name and the origins of our first ancestor Jean (Jehan) Gaudet, who settled in Acadia about 1636. According to Albert Dauzat from his Etymology Dictionary of Family names of France, Gaudet is known to derive from Gaudon, ancient German baptismal name of Waldo, from Waldon, governor. The spelling "Godet," means "a manufacturer of godets" (pots, bowls or glass). Two dictionaries describe the godet as a small drinking bowl with no stem or handle, of which the brim is lobed (rounded divisions). In botany, a godet refers to the shell or cap that holds the acorn from an oak tree. To show the etymology of the Gaudet name, a "godet" is surmounted under the acorn in the shield. The color green, called sinople in heraldic language, reminds us that Jean Gaudet and his son, Denis, originating from Martaizé, near Loudun, Department of Vienne, France, had first settled as farmers on the north bank of the Port Royal river, opposite Prée Ronde. The acorn is a symbol of strength and firmly rooted deep in the soil of Acadia. The acorn represents the Acadian roots of the Gaudet family and their loyalty to the land they had farmed. Acadia is symbolized by the star; this symbol was adopted at Miscouche, P.E.I. in 1884 with the French tri-color for the Acadian national flag. The Port Royal river is represented by the wavy bands, which is the method used in heraldry for water; and the division of the shield symbolizes a port. The fleur de lis is an ancient emblem of France. The motto "On parle de toi," translated into French from the Latin phrase "fabula narratur," expresses very well, the spirit and continuity of the Gaudet family in the history of Acadia. The blazonment of the Gaudet family coat of arms is as follows: Chapé-ployé au 1 fascé-ondé d'argent et d'azur au godet d'or en pointe surmont d'un gland de chêne aussi d'or, 2 de sinople à étoile à cinq rais d'or à dextre et à une fleur de lis du même à senestre. Sur un listel sous l'écu, la devise: "On parle de toi." Jean Gaudet (Godet) was listed as a censitaire on the fief at Martaizé in 1634. Martaizé was part of the seigneury of Aulnay, the property of Nicole de Jousserand, who was the mother of Charles d'Aulnay, governor of Acadia from 1636 to 1650. The village of Martaizé and it's environs was called the "fief de Beaulieu" or sometimes "Rallette." The church of Saint-Maurice de Martaizé still exists to this day. The inventory document of Nicole de Jousserand's fief de Beaulieu in the parish of Martaizé, (Archives Départementales de l'Indre et Loire, Série C, Liasse 601, signed before the notaries Messieurs Aubri and Pasquier, at Loudun on the 21st October 1634) states the following: "Je em en la fresche des Godets desclares douze boisseaus froment mesure de Loudun et trois derniers de cens a rente feodalle deue par Jean Gendre, Jean Godet, René Godet le jeune, Francois Godet, la veufve Vincent Besard, Pierre Giroire et Renée Besard sa femme Jean Besard, Simon Joubert les heritiers Pierre Bourg de sauseau et les heritiers Francois Godet par raison d'une piece du terre et signer estant en terre et signer estant en terre est du Rondonay le tout contenant ensemble et tenant deux septiers six boisseaus..." (A "fresche" is an old French word for rent due to the seigneur from his or her fief) Jean Gaudet and his son Denis, came together from France about the year 1636. They settled first on the north bank of the Port-Royal river, opposite la Prée Ronde (Round Hill), about ten miles upriver from the fort, on property that still belonged to the Gaudet family in 1710. Extract from the census of Port Royal, Acadia, dated November 1671: Laboureur- Jehan Gaudet aagé de quatre vingt et seize ans, sa femme Nicolle Colleson aagée de soixante et quatre ans. Leurs enfant Jehan Gaudet aagé de 28 ans, Leurs terre en Labour trois arpens en deux places, Leurs bestes a cornes six pièces, Leurs brebis trois pièces. Jean Gaudet had two brothers, Aubin and François. They were born between 1552 and 1596 and they died between 1566 and 1674; presumedly in France. - Ronald Joseph Arthur Gaudet Not sure if the rest of Jehan
s children came with him to Acadia when he came with his son, Dennis. - Ronald Joseph Arthur Gaudet On November 12, 1999, Susan (DuBois) Pacheco posted a message on the Gaudet Family Genealogy Forum that the first wife of Jean may have been a woman named Marguerite Martin.

"I have just checked Placide Gaudet's record of the Census of 1761 [sic, should be 1671], and see "Laboreur--JEHAN GAUDET...sa femme Nicolle Colleson..., leur enfans Jehan aagé 18 ans,..." It appeared your [Charles Leonard's] source was Bergeron. If so, Bergeron and Gaudet both read it the same."

8 Sep 1994 CompuServe message from Charles Leonard:

"Also according to this author [Bergeron], Jean Gaudet probably originates from the french seigneurie of the mother of Charles d'Aulnay, one of the founders of Acadia. Jehan was on a "liste des redevances" (rentors' list ?) in the parish of Martaizé in 1634. He probably came to Canada soon after. [See another reference to this below]

Father Laurent Molins made a census list in 1671: we see "laboureur" Jean Gaudet, aged 96 qith wife Nicole with son Jehan (18 years old). We also have Denis Gaudet (46) and wife Martine Gauthier (52). More: Marie Gaudet (38) widow of Estienne Hébert... Françoise Gaudet (48) married to Daniel Labland (!) (47)...

So after all, if Marie is issued from that first marriage, her birth year would make sense."

The blazonment of the Gaudet family coat of arms is as follows: Chapé-ployé au 1 fascé-ondé d'argent et d'azur au godet d'or en pointe surmonté d'un gland de chêne aussi d'or, 2 de sinople à étoile à cinq rais d'or à dextre et à une fleur de lis du même à senestre. Sur un listel sous l'écu, la devise: "On parle de toi." Jean Gaudet (Godet) was listed as a censitaire on the fief at Martaizé in 1634. Martaizé was part of the seigneury of Aulnay, the property of Nicole de Jousserand, who was the mother of Charles d'Aulnay, governor of Acadia from 1636 to 1650. The village of Martaizé and it's environs was called the "fief de Beaulieu" or sometimes "Rallette." The church of Saint-Maurice de Martaizé still exists to this day. The inventory document of Nicole de Jousserand's fief de Beaulieu in the parish of Martaizé, (Archives Départementales de l'Indre et Loire, Série C, Liasse 601, signed before the notaries Messieurs Aubri and Pasquier, at Loudun on the 21st October 1634) states the following: "Je em en la fresche des Godets desclares douze boisseaus froment mesure de Loudun et trois derniers de cens a rente feodalle deue par Jean Gendre, Jean Godet, René Godet le jeune, Francois Godet, la veufve Vincent Besard, Pierre Giroire et Renée Besard sa femme Jean Besard, Simon Joubert les heritiers Pierre Bourg de sauseau et les heritiers Francois Godet par raison d'une piece du terre et signer estant en terre et signer estant en terre est du Rondonay le tout contenant ensemble et tenant deux septiers six boisseaus..." (A "fresche" is an old French word for rent due to the seigneur from his or her fief) Jean Gaudet and his son Denis, came together from France about the year 1636. They settled first on the north bank of the Port-Royal river, opposite la Prée Ronde (Round Hill), about ten miles upriver from the fort, on property that still belonged to the Gaudet family in 1710.

Native of Martaize, Loudon Region, Vienne Department, France, (Arsenault). Imm. c1636 to Acadia

13 Sep 1994 CompuServe message from Bob Quinnett:

"I have just checked Placide Gaudet's record of the Census of 1761 [sic, should be 1671], and see "Laboreur--JEHAN GAUDET...sa femme Nicolle Colleson..., leur enfans Jehan aagé 18 ans,..." It appeared your [Charles Leonard's] source was Bergeron. If so, Bergeron and Gaudet both read it the same."

8 Sep 1994 CompuServe message from Charles Leonard:

"Also according to this author [Bergeron], Jean Gaudet probably originates from the french seigneurie of the mother of Charles d'Aulnay, one of the founders of Acadia. Jehan was on a "liste des redevances" (rentors' list ?) in the parish of Martaizé in 1634. He probably came to Canada soon after. [See another reference to this below]

Father Laurent Molins made a census list in 1671: we see "laboureur" Jean Gaudet, aged 96 qith wife Nicole with son Jehan (18 years old). We also have Denis Gaudet (46) and wife Martine Gauthier (52). More: Marie Gaudet (38) widow of Estienne Hébert... Françoise Gaudet (48) married to Daniel Labland (!) (47)...

So after all, if Marie is issued from that first marriage, her birth year would make sense."

"Acadian Genealogy Exchange", Vol. II, No. 7, 'Origins of the LeBLANC family quoted from Genevieve Massignon, "Les Parles Francais d'Acadie"', p. 1:

"On the 1634 census of the seigneurie d'Aulnay at Martaize, France, he is listed as Jean GODET."

Notes on this page, unless otherwise noted, are by Leonard William Gaudet A.K.A. Jean/Jehan Gaudet/Godet - Ronald Joseph Arthur Gaudet Jean (Jehan) Gaudet is considered to be the patriarch of the Gaudet family because he was the oldest & first Gaudet known to have come to Acadia. - Ronald Joseph Arthur Gaudet According to Massignon, in 1671 Jean Gaudet had 22 grand-children and 10 great-granchildren thus become the ancestor of one-tenth of the Acadian population. - Thom McCabe The Gaudet Family Coat of Arms In the 15th century, only royalty and some in the bourgeois class had coats of arms. None of the Acadian pioneers had coats of arms. Today, anyone can apply to the Canadian Heraldic Authority in Ottawa for a coat of arms. It was agreed upon at one of the 1993 general meetings of the Gaudet Association in New Brunswick, that Monsieur Robert Pichette, Fellow de la Société héraldique du Canada, be approached and asked if he would design a coat of arms that would represent the Acadian Jean Gaudet from Martaizé, France and all of his descendants. The coat of arms created for the 1994 reunion of the Gaudet families of Acadia at St-Joseph, New Brunswick, consists of the symbols which refer to the etymology of the name and the origins of our first ancestor Jean (Jehan) Gaudet, who settled in Acadia about 1636. According to Albert Dauzat from his Etymology Dictionary of Family names of France, Gaudet is known to derive from Gaudon, ancient German baptismal name of Waldo, from Waldon, governor. The spelling "Godet," means "a manufacturer of godets" (pots, bowls or glass). Two dictionaries describe the godet as a small drinking bowl with no stem or handle, of which the brim is lobed (rounded divisions). In botany, a godet refers to the shell or cap that holds the acorn from an oak tree. To show the etymology of the Gaudet name, a "godet" is surmounted under the acorn in the shield. The color green, called sinople in heraldic language, reminds us that Jean Gaudet and his son, Denis, originating from Martaizé, near Loudun, Department of Vienne, France, had first settled as farmers on the north bank of the Port Royal river, opposite Prée Ronde. The acorn is a symbol of strength and firmly rooted deep in the soil of Acadia. The acorn represents the Acadian roots of the Gaudet family and their loyalty to the land they had farmed. Acadia is symbolized by the star; this symbol was adopted at Miscouche, P.E.I. in 1884 with the French tri-color for the Acadian national flag. The Port Royal river is represented by the wavy bands, which is the method used in heraldry for water; and the division of the shield symbolizes a port. The fleur de lis is an ancient emblem of France. The motto "On parle de toi," translated into French from the Latin phrase "fabula narratur," expresses very well, the spirit and continuity of the Gaudet family in the history of Acadia. The blazonment of the Gaudet family coat of arms is as follows: Chapé-ployé au 1 fascé-ondé d'argent et d'azur au godet d'or en pointe surmonté d'un gland de chêne aussi d'or, 2 de sinople à étoile à cinq rais d'or à dextre et à une fleur de lis du même à senestre.
