8 Sep 1994 CompuServe message from Robert Quinnett to Anne Wolf:

"Anne,

You haven't volunteered for the job, but you're sitting in the catbird seat. Let me explain.

I assume you've seen all the messages concerning Marie Gaudet (among other Gaudets). Since there are so many conflicting sources/opinions as to her mother, I finally laid in all out in a spreadsheet to try and make sense of it. The sources/opinions as to whether Marie Daussy or Nicolle Colson was her mother are as follows:

Charles Leonard, based on EGA, [sic, AGE?] Vol. XX #3, pp. 83-91--Colson. The source provides a marriage date of 1628 for Jean Gaudet and Colson but no DOB for Marie Gaudet;

Charles Leonard, based on Bergeron--Daussy. The source provides a marriage date of abt 1598 for Jean Gaudet and Daussy and gives a DOB for Marie Gaudet of 1626 which, if correct, does point toward Daussy;

Judy Dressler, no source cited, but does provide census information for later years--Colson;

An excerpt of the LeBlanc Family History from NB, Canada, no source cited--"1st wife," name not cited;

Anne Wolff, no source cited--Coleson. You provided a DOB and POB for Marie Gaudet as born 1633, Port-Royal.

I should add that the case for putting all my bets on Bergeron was weakened by his own data for the brother of Marie, Jehan/Jean. Bergeron apparently has Father Laurent Molins' census list in 1671 as showing Jehan as 18 years of age. This would dictate that Jehan was born abt 1653. However, Bergeron ELSEWHERE has him born abt 1642; this agrees with Judy's account of the Census of Port-Royal of 1671 (In Paris Archives) which shows him as age 28, thus calculating a DOB of abt 1643 (close enought for government work!).

If your DOB and POB for Marie are correct, the weight of evidence seems to point toward Colson as Marie's mother if the Gaudet-Colson marriage indeed occurred in 1628. If you can give me a source for Marie Gaudet, born 1633, Port-Royal, I personally am ready to go with Colson as her mother and wrap this up.

I hope I haven't put you too much on the spot.

Bob"

Notes:

[Brderbund WFT Vol. 2, Ed. 1, Tree #4512, Date of Import: Nov 12, 2000]

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.

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."

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. 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
