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
