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. Susan's E-mail address is spacheco@middlesexbank.com - Ronald Joseph Arthur Gaudet. \DC0119

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."

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

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. 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.

Acadian Descendants, Vol I, by Janet Jehn - immigrated about 1639 Adjutant of Governor D'Aulnay. Was Port Royal Commandant at time of surrender to Robert Sedgwick on 16 Aug 1654. Following the terms of the act of capitulation, he returned to France where he died.

beau-frere of Jacques Bourgeois. (brother-in-law or step-brother)

The birthplace of Germain Doucet (Sieur de La Verdure) has not yet been established. According to researcher/genealogist F. René Perron of Sèvres, FRANCE, La Verdure lies 10 kilometers north of Coutran in the Bassevelle Parish. La Verdure was the fiefdom of Germain Doucet, Commander of Port Roya l. It is located in Champagne Brie, 10 kilometers north of La Ferté-Gauche r. Germain Doucet came to Acadia in 1632 with Commander Isaac de Razilly by order of Cardinal Richelieu (Minister of State to King Louis XIII). They came to re-occupy the colony after the St. Germain-en-Laye Treaty of March 29, 1632.

According to author Andrew Hill Clark re ACADIA: THE GEOGRAPHY OF EARLY NO VA SCOTIA TO 1760 (page 91): "Razilly ... sailed from France on July 4, 1632 in L'Espérance à Dieu, shepherding two transports, and disembarked so me three hundred people (mostly men) and a variety of livestock, seeds, to ols, implements, arms, munitions, and other supplies at La Have (LaHèv e, at the mouth of La Have River in present Lunenburg County) on Septemb er 8." Razilly was a cousin of Richelieu and a royal councillor. One of the leaders of The Company of New France, he was designated Lieutenant-General of a ll the parts of New France called "Canada" and the Governor of "Acadia."

According to authors Sally Ross and Alphonse Deveaure THE ACADIANS OF NO VA SCOTIA ~ PAST AND PRESENT (page 16): "In September Isaac de Razilly arrived in Acadia with three sailing vessels, 300 hand-picked men, three Capuchin Fathers and a few women and children." On a document signed July 14, 1640, Germain Doucet was at Port Royal and Captain of the Army of Pentagoët as well as the right-hand man of the Governor of Acadia (Charles de menou d'Aulnay de Charnizay). After the death of the Governor in 1650, Germain was the Commander at the fort of Port Royal and Deputy Guardian of the Governor's children. On August 16, 1654, when 500 Bostonian soldiers under the command of Robert Sedgewick attacked the fort of Port Royal, Germain found it wise to give up without a struggle as he had only 100 men to oppose them. All military personnel were repatriated back to FRANCE. Germain left his brother-in-law, Jacques Bourgeois, surgeon, as Lieutenant of Port Royal and as a witness to see that the conditions of the trea ty were carried out. Germain and his wife returned to FRANCE in 1654.

Prrine Bourg was married twice. She married Simon Pelletret inabout1639-40 and Ren Landry in about 1645. Perrine Bourg was the sisterofAntoine Bourg who was married to Antoinette Landry, sister ofPerrine'ssecond husband, René Landry.

Census records are about the only source of Perrine's age. If agesarederived from the census, Perrine was born between 1612 (1686census)and 1626 (1693 census), with the only other age mentioned in the1671census which puts her birth at about 1619. The only safeassumption(barring any hard evidence) is that Perrine was born between1612 and1626. [RLL 29 Jan 2002]
