Germain Doucet, Sieur de La Verdure (born around 1595 near Couperans en Brye (most likely Coubron northeast of Paris, France) was a French commander in the French colony of Acadia.
Doucet's career began when he entered into an association with Charles de Menou d'Aulnay, noted seaman, captain, and future governor of Acadia. In 1632, he arrived in Acadia with the governor Isaac de Razilly. He served as master of arms of Fort Pentagouet (now Castine, Maine) as a major. After the death of d'Aulnay in 1650, Doucet became commandant serving at the French fort of Port Royal (now Annapolis Royal). Under Major General Robert Sedgwick, the English captured the fort on August 15, 1654. Under the terms of the surrender, Doucet was forced to leave Acadia for good, and returned to France. Both his son Pierre, and his daughter Marguerite stayed behind, however. Pierre married, in 1660, Henriette Pelletret, by whom he had issue. Marguerite married Abraham Dugas. The name of Germain's wife is uncertain, although some genealogists suggest she may have been Marie Bourgeois.

This profile states that Priscilla Melanson or Mallinson is Germain Doucet dit Laverdure's mother.
She is not.
She was the wife of Pierre Melanson or Mallinson (dit la Verdure, hence the confusion) founder of Grand Pré, Acadie, and their children were Pierre, Charles, Jean and Catherine Melanson. However her profile is blocked to me, so I cannot correct this and unhook her from this Doucet branch.

Following is a short biographical sketch of Germain Doucet, Sieur de Laverdure. It was printed in The Advertiser, page 8C, dated 10 August 1997, published in Lafayette, Louisiana (items in [ ] are added from other sources to help clarify information):
Germain DOUCET dit Laverdure [born about 1595], native of Couperans-in-Brie, France, arrived in Acadia in 1632 with the Commander Isaac de Razilly and Charles de Menou d'Aulnay. The King of France gave Razilly, a Knight in the Order of Malta, the task of retaking possession of the colony of Acadia from the English following the treaty of St-Germain-en-Laye, which returned Acadia to France. Two ships, the St-Jehan and the L'Esperance-in-Dieu, left from d'Auray in Brittany on the 23rd of July, 1632. Germain Doucet was an officer [a Major (Captain of Arms)] among the small group of soldiers that accompanied this mission.
Doucet apparently was accompanied by his wife, Marguerite [see note below] and his son, Pierre, and his daughter, Louise-Marguerite [or Marguerite-Louise-Judith]. The family landed first at La Hève, where Germain assisted in the construction of Fort Sainte-Marie-de-Grace. [Note: The name of Germain's wife is unknown. See information about his wife in Generation I of the genealogical data.]
Within three months of their arrival, Razilly sent d'Aulnay to retake Port Royal, which was still occupied by the English. Doucet, who would always be d'Aulnay's faithful friend, accompanied him on this mission. At Port Royal, those English colonists who wanted to leave the colony and return to England were boarded on the St-Jehan and sent first to La Heve. Germain Doucet then accompanied the St-Jehan to England to return the English colonists. From there, Doucet returned to France, where he met d'Aulnay aboard the Esperance- en-Dieu, and they returned to Acadia with new French colonists.
Later, in 1635, d'Aulnay was ordered to retake possession of Fort Pentagouet at the western limit of Acadia near the present day Castin, Maine, from the British. Once again, Germain Doucet accompanied d'Aulnay, this time with his family. D'Aulnay returned to Port Royal after the fort was retaken and left Doucet in command of a small garrison. The British soon sent a detachment from Plymouth, Mass., to try to retake the fort, but the French under the command of Germain Doucet, successfully repelled the attack.
Razilly was governor of but a part of Acadia. The rest of the colony was governed by Charles de La Tour. La Tour and Razilly coexisted in Acadia on peaceful terms, but in late 1635, Razilly died suddenly, leaving his position as governor of his part of the colony to his brother, Claude de Razilly. Unwilling to leave France, Claude de Razilly delegated his powers to Charles de Menou d'Aulnay. Soon after d'Aulnay succeeded to this post, relations with La Tour deteriorated, in part due to a confusing geographic division of the colony between the two governors by the King of France. By 1636, this quarrel had degenerated to open warfare, and La Tour demanded that d'Aulnay give up the post at Pentagouet, commanded by Doucet. D'Aulnay and Doucet refused to do so, and proceeded to make plans to reinforce the fort. A small party sent from Fort Pentagouet to Port Royal for provisions, which very well may have included the commander, Doucet, was captured by forces loyal to La Tour and held prisoner. But soon after, La Tour is defeated and captured following a naval engagement with the vessel of d'Aulnay.
In 1645, following the death of the commander, Isaac Pessely, Doucet was named commander of the garrison at Port Royal. By 1647, the forces loyal to d'Aulnay had consolidated their power over the colony, and La Tour was forced to take refuge in Quebec. However, in May 1650, d'Aulnay drowned when his canoe overturned in the Riviere du Moulin. D'Aulnay's widow, Jeanne de Mottin, and Germain Doucet executed d'Aulnay's possession.
In 1651, Jeanne de Mottin married her late husband's rival, Charles de La Tour, and through this marriage, La Tour retook power in the colony. Doucet signed as a witness to their marriage, and La Tour left him in command of the garrison at Port Royal.
In July 1654, despite the fact that England and France were at peace, Major Robert Sedgewick of Boston attacked and took La Tour's fort at Pentagouet, and proceeded immediately to lay siege to Port Royal. Doucet and his men resisted the attack for 16 days, however, faced with an opponent superior in numbers and armament, Doucet was finally forced to surrender Port Royal to Sedgewick and the English. Doucet and his wife were taken prisoner and returned to France, never to return to the New World.
----------------------------------------------
Germain DOUCET was born in 1596 in France. Germain DOUCET dit Sieur de La Verdure was a native of Couperans-en-Brie, near Paris. The name of his wife is unknown; it has been said that he was the brother-in-law of Jacques BOURGEOIS. His son Pierre was born in 1621 and his daughter Marguerite Louise in 1625, both in France. Presumably they came to Acadia with their father about 1632 when he entered the service of Charles d'AULNAY.
In 1640 he was a master-in-arms at Pentagouet (Castine, Maine) where he commanded the French fort with the rank of major. Germain enjoyed an especially close relationship with d'AULNAY who, in his will of January 20, 1649, instructed his wife to take care of Germain and his wife. He referred to him as "Germain DOUCET dict La Verdure, de la Paroisse de Couperna en Brie." In a codicil of February 20, 1649, d'AULNAY referred to one who should be continued in his job because of the fidelity and affection that he has always shown. LAUVRIERE (La Tragedie d'un Peuple, vol. 1, p. 496) believes that this was a reference to Pierre MELANSON, also known as Sieur de La Verdure, who was chef de la milice in the colony. After d'AULNAY drowned in 1650, Pierre MELANSON became the tutor of d'AULNAY's children, while Germain DOUCET became commandant of the fort at Port Royal. He held this position when SEDGWICK attacked the fort in 1654 and captured Port Royal on August 15. Germain returned to France with the military garrison, as required under the terms of capitulation. His son Pierre and his daughter Marguerite remained in Acadia. He was married to UNKNOWN in France.
7803. UNKNOWN. Children were:
child3886 i. Pierre DOUCET. child3847 ii. Marguerite-Louise DOUCET.

Researcher/Genealogist F. René Perron, of Sèvres, France, states that La Verdure, the fiefdom of Germain, is located in Champagne Brie, ten kilometers north of La Ferte-Gaucher. La Ferte-Gaucher is located about 45 miles east of Paris in Seine-et-Marne Department.
Though many records point to Marie Bourgeois as the first wife of Germain Doucet and the mother of Marguerite and Pierre, Stephen White, renowned genealogist, contradicts it. He states that Germain did, however, remarry before 1654. This second marriage could have been to either the daughterof Guillaume Trahan or Jacques Bourgeois' sister as after the surrenderof Port Royal on Aug 16 1654, he left his brother-in-law, Jacques Bourgeois, as an hostage.
There is another theory which links Jacques Jacob Bourgeois as the brother-in-law and is a theory accepted in: 1.Title: Histoire Et Genealogie Des Acadiens V2, Page: p. 524 It lists him as the father of Marguerite-Louise Doucet and Marie Grandjehan Bourgeois as the mother. Marie Grandjehan would have been the daughter of Nicolas Grandjehan and Marguerite Bourgeois. They are also listed as the parents of Jacques Jacob Bourgeois. He either took his mothers last name or was her son with an unknown father.
Adjutant of Governor D'Aulnay. Germain was Port Royal Commandant at the time of surrender to Robert Sedgwick on 16 August 1654. Following the terms of the act of capitulation, he returned to France where he died. He immigrated to Acadia about 1639.
Military: August 16, 1654, Port Commandant.

NOTE: In some records Marguerite (1.2) is known as Marguerite Louise Judith DOUCET.
NOTE: Bona Arsenault listed Marie LANDRY and Marguerite LANDRY as wives of Germain DOUCET (1.4). Germain was only married once, to Marie LANDRY.
There are various accounts in print and in the genealogical records of the descendants of Germain DOUCET pertaining to his birth, the name of his wife/wives and the names of his children. Below are four notes pertaining to these issues.
NOTE 1: The birth of Germain Doucet: There are various accounts about the date and place of the birth of Germain:
* Germain Doucet was born in 1595.
* Germain Doucet was born about 1595.
* Germain Doucet was born in Touraine, France.
* Germain Doucet was born in Tours, Touraine, France.
* Germain Doucet was born in LaVerdure, France.
According to Stephen White, Dictionnaire Genealogique des Familles Acadiennes, published 1999, there isn·Äôt a specific birth year that can be attributed to Germain. It is unknown where the early genealogical researchers came up with the year of 1595. Presuming that they had some basis for their statements, it is proper to either not include a birth year or use ·Äúabout 1595·Äù rather than a specific year.
Again, according to Stephen White, Germain was born at Couperans en Brie or Conflans en Brye. Researcher/Genealogist F. René; Perron, of Sèvres, France, states that La Verdure, the fiefdom of Germain, is located in Champagne Brie, ten kilometers north of La Ferte-Gaucher. La Ferte-Gaucher is located about 45 miles east of Paris in Seine-et-Marne Department.

NOTE 2: The wife/wives of Germain Doucet: There is speculation as to whether Germain was married once or more than once. Various names/circumstances appear as to his wife or wives:
* He married Marie Bourgeois, daughter of Jacques Bourgeois (and Marguerite Bourgeois).
* He married Marie Bourgeois dit Grandjehan about 1620 in Nova Scotia.
* He married Marie Bourgeois about 1620 in Bue, France.
* He married name unknown, sister of Jacques Bourgeois (or sister of Jacques Bourgeois·Äôs wife).
* He married an unknown Bourgeois.
* He married an unknown Trahan, daughter (or possibly daughter) of Guillaume Trahan.
* He married an unknown Grandjehan.
* He married first an unknown Trahan (about 1620) and married second Marie Bourgeois.
According to Stephen White, the name of the wife or wives of Germain has never been known. Several early writers, such as Bona Arsenault, Histoire et Genealogie des Acadiens, and Adrien Bergeron, Le Grand Arrangement des Acadiens au Quebec, have stated that the wife was Marie Bourgeios, given the documented fact that Germain Doucet and Jacques (Jacob) Bourgeois were brothers-in-law. In his notes, Stephen White states: ·ÄúIt is not possible that the mother of the children of Germain Doucet is a sister of Jacques Bourgeois' wife, as certain authors have proposed, being given that the in-laws of Jacques Bourgeois didn't get married until 1627. There exists the possibility that Germain Doucet nevertheless married, in second nuptials, to a daughter of Guillaume Trahan who gave him no surviving children; but it is as possible that such a second wife is the sister of Jacques Bourgeois and not the sister of his wife. (See SGCF Vol VI, p 372.)
NOTE 3: The parentage of Germain Doucet (born about1641): Bona Arsenault and others list Germain DOUCET (born about 1641) as the son of Pierre DOUCET (born about 1621). However, according to a dispensation granted by the Catholic Church, Germain has to be the brother or half-brother of Pierre rather than his son. Below is a summary from Michele Doucette's web site pertaining to this issue. Her web sites are listed below, where you may see her full article. In a letter from Stephen White, dated May 8, 1992, is where the evidence first comes to light that Germain DOUCET (born about 1641 in Port Royal) is not the son of Pierre DOUCET (born about 1621 in France) as previously thought by many, including Adrien Bergeron and Bona Arsenault. Stephen White proves that Germain is the son of Germain DOUCET as a result of dispensations granted by the Catholic Church when descendants of Germain (1641) intermarried with descendants of Pierre (1621). A dispensation in the 3rd degree was granted Nov 26, 1726, at Port-Royal to Germain DOUCET (grandson of Germain (1641)) to marry Françoise COMEAU (granddaughter of Pierre). In reviewing Le Grand Arrangement Des Acadiens au Québec and Histoire et Généalogie des Acadiens, there are the following individuals named Germain DOUCET:
* Germain DOUCET dit LaVerdure (born about 1595 in France).
* Germain DOUCET (born about 1641 in Port Royal) married 1664 Marie Marguerite LANDRY (René LANDRY and Pérrine BOURG).
* Germain DOUCET (born 1698) married 26 November 1726 Françoise COMEAU (Alexandre COMEAU and Marguerite DOUCET).
* Germain DOUCET (born 1721) married Françoise LaPIERRE in Québec.
Germain DOUCET (1641) and Marie Marguerite LANDRY had a son Charles (born 1665), who married Huguette-Radegonde GUERIN (François GUERIN and Anne BLANCHARD). Charles and Huguette had a son Germain (1698), who married Françoise COMEAU. Pierre DOUCET (1621) and Henriette PELLETRET had a daughter Marguerite (born about 1680), who married Alexandre COMEAU (Étienne COMEAU and Marie LEFEBVRE). Marguerite and Alexandre had a daughter Françoise (born about 1704), who married Germain DOUCET (1698). A Dispensation in the 3rd degree means that the parties involved were second cousins, both parties being of equal descent from a common great-grandparent. The Dispensation granted Nov 26, 1726, at Port-Royal to Germain Doucet (grandson of Germain) to marry Françoise Comeau (granddaughter of Pierre) means that Germain and Françoise were second cousins, having the same common great-grandparent. The common great-grandparent would be Germain Doucet, Sieur de LaVerdure. This granted Dispensation clearly shows, therefore, that Pierre DOUCET (1621) was the brother or half brother of Germain DOUCET (1641), as opposed to what most historians have speculated.
NOTE 4: The children of Germain Doucet: According to Stephen White, the children born to Germain Doucet were as follows:
* Pierre born about 1621; married about 1660 Henriette Pelletret (Simon and Perrine Bourg).
* Marguerite born about 1625; married about 1647 Abraham Dugas.
* daughter; married about 1650 Pierre LeJeune dit Briard.
* Germain born about 1641; married about 1664 Marie Landry (René and Perrine Bourg).
Michele Doucette has two web sites with information pertaining to Germain Doucet:

* Michele's Updated Information re Germain Doucet: http://www.geocities.com/heartland/meadows/2700/germain.htm

Doucet's career began when he entered into an association with Charles de Menou d'Aulnay, noted seaman, captain, and future governor of Acadia. In 1632, he arrived in Acadia with the governor Isaac de Razilly. He served as a master of arms at the settlement and fort of Pentagouet (now Castine, Maine) as a major. After the death of d'Aulnay in 1650, Doucet became commandant serving at the French fort of Port Royal (now Annapolis Royal). Under Major General Robert Sedgwick, the English captured the fort on August 15, 1654. Under the terms of the surrender, Doucet was forced to leave Acadia for good, and returned to France. Both his sons Pierre and Germain and his daughter Marguerite stayed behind, however. Pierre married, in 1660, Henriette Pelletret, by whom he had issue. Germain married Marie Landry, and Marguerite married Abraham Dugas.The name of Germain's wife is uncertain, although some genealogists suggest she may have been Marie Bourgeois.

Germain DOUCET was born in 1596 in France. Germain DOUCET dit Sieur de La Verdure was a native of Couperans-en-Brie, near Paris. The name of his wife is unknown; it has been said that he was the brother-in-law of Jacques BOURGEOIS. His son Pierre was born in 1621 and his daughter Marguerite Louise in 1625, both in France.

Germain Doucet, dit Sieur de la Verdure (born 1596 near Coupérans-en-Brie, France-death date unknown) was a French commandant in both Maine and Acadia, and also the progenitor of the surname Doucet in North America.
Doucet's career began when he entered into an association with Charles de Menou d'Aulnay, noted seaman, captain, and future governor of Acadia. In 1632, he arrived in Acadia with the governor Isaac de Razilly. He served as a master of arms at the settlement and fort of Pentagouet (now Castine, Maine) as a major. After the death of d'Aulnay in 1650, Doucet became a commandant serving at the important French fort of Port Royal. Under Major General Robert Sedgwick, the English captured the fort on the 15th of August, 1654. Under the terms of the surrender, Doucet was forced to leave Acadia for good, and returned to France. Both his son Pierre and his daughter Marguerite stayed behind, however

Germain Doucet, known as Laverdure was born about 1595, originating in the parish in Conflans-in-Brye, out of Champagne, France. After the death of the governor Charles d'Aulney, in 1650, Germain Doucet deals with the command of the fort of Royal Port and the children of the late governor. The wife of the ancestor Germain Doucet is Marie Bourgeois, sister of ancestor Jacques Bourgeois, lieutenant of the garrison to Port-Royal. So now, 16 August 1654, Port-Royal must for the first time go to the English, after a burning fight of 100 soldiers against 500, in the condition express " That Sieur of the Greenery says it will leave strong the soldiers and servants... with weapons and drums beating, sign deployed, balls in mouth, mousquet or rifle on the shoulder... and two small parts of guns... and their luggage in which will be included/understood the fur skins which will be to them deliver for the payment of their pledges... and will be to them fourny bastiment for their passage in France with their food for two months and ammunition of war apartenent with the Republic of England, Scotland and Ireland, like aussy very other païs with them belonging. " Germain Doucet turns over inevitably to France, in 1654, following the capitulation leaving in Acadie four children, including two wire not married yet and two girls who were already married. Pierre Doucet was born about 1621, in France and Marie in 1660, with Port-Royal, with Henriette Pelletret. Marguerite-Louise Doucet, born about 1625, with Couperans-Brie, out of Champagne, in France, wife with Port-Royal, in 1647 or 1648, Abraham Dugas, arms manufacturer of the king, native in 1616, of Toulouse, in Languedoc, in France. Germain Doucet born about 1641, in Acadie, wife in 1664, Marie Landry.
