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.
