Notes about Michel Boudrot

b. 1601, d. 20 August 1688, #19612 Name Variation Lt_Gen Michel Boudreau was also found as Michel Boudrot Boudreaux.2 Birth 1601 Michel was born in 1601 at Parassede Cougnes Dis, in La Rochelle, France.2 Michel was close friends with Charles de Menou d'Aulnay, for he was godfather to his daughter Marie de Menou who was baptized on September 22, 1639 in Arcadia. He obviously arrived in Acadia before that date, probably with a group of colonists recruited by Charles de Menou and Martin Le Godelier in LaChaussee, France, in 1632, and who departed from Saint-Martin-de-Ré on July 23, 1632. There were about 40 families.7 In 1639 Michel was a managing agent in Port Royal, Acadia, and although the census of 1671 shows him to be a farmer, he assumed the duties of a magistrate and the census of 1686 shows him to be the lieutenant general of the colony. The following year, on October 5, 1687, he was given a testimonial for services rendered by Charles de Menou and the colonists who arrived in Acadia before 1641. Marriage circa 1640 Lt_Gen Michel Boudreau married Michelle Aucoin, daughter of Francois Martin Aucoin (Martin 2) and Barbe Minguet, circa 1640 in Acadia.2,3 ALERT some online genealogies claim they were married in France. That is not likely so, as Michel was in Acadia before 1639 and Michelle did not leave France until about 1640. Their children were: Marguerite BOUDROT Boudreaux b: Bet 1648-1651 in Port Royal,Acadia,Nova Scotia **Jeanne BOUDROT Boudreaux b: 1645 in Port Royal,Acadia,Nova Scotia Charles BOUDROT Boudreaux b: Abt 1649 in Pisquit,Acadia,Nova Scotia Francoise BOUDROT Boudreaux b: 1642 Marie BOUDROT Boudreaux b: 1653 Jehan JEAN Boudrot BOUDREAUX b: 1655 Abraham BOUDROT Boudreaux b: 1657 Michel BOUDROT Boudreaux b: 1659 Olivier BOUDROT Boudreaux b: 1661 Claude BOUDROT Boudreaux b: Abt 1663 in Port Royal,Acadia,Nova Scotia Francois BOUDROT Boudreaux b: 1666.2 1642 Michel arrived in Port Royal in before1642. In 1686 Michel Boudreaux was a lieutenant general at Port Royal and "juge du lieu" lawyer or law judge. By 1766 three families that are descended from Michel were in Louisiana.4 1642 Some say that Michel and Michelle came to Arcadia in 1642. They may have had one child that was born in France. This does not seem to be the case. It appears that Michelle came to Arcadia with her step mother about 1640.5 1645 He was some sort of "magistrate" in Port Royal, possibly a judge.6 !AInfoNew 1671 1671 Port Royal, Acadia Census: "Michel Boudrot 71; wife Michelle Aucoin 53; Children (married): Francoise 29, Jeanne 25, Marguerite 20; (not married): Charles 22, Marie 18, Jehan 16, Abraham 14, Michel 12, Olivier 10, Claude 8, Francois 5; cattle 5, sheep 12." 1678 Port Royal, Acadia Census: "Michel Boudrot & Michelle Aucoin 12 acres 10 cattle 3 guns 5 boys: Jean 22, Abraham 20, Michel 18, Olivier 16, Francois 12" 1686 Port Royal, Acadia Census: "Michel Boudrot, Lieut.

She was sister of Jeanne Aucoin, wife of fellow colonist Francois Girouard. Michel Boudrot served as one of the first syndics (similar to a present-day mayor) of Port-Royal. In 1684, he was serving as lieutenant général civil et criminel du Port-Royal, or general representative of the King in civil and criminal matters at the colony's capital. In August 1688, he gave us his post as lieutenant général because of his "great age." He was 88. He died not long afterwards. His wife Michelle, two decades his junior, lived until December 1706, when she died at Port-Royal, age 85. Michel and Michelle raised 11 children, including seven sons, all born at Port-Royal, who reached manhood and took wives of their own: Notes for Michel Boudrot & michelle Aucoin kaicuradded this on 8 Apr 2008 - 1671 Port Royal: Michel Boudrot 71, Michelle Aucoin 53, three married children: Francoise 29, Jeanne 26, Margueritte 20; unmarried: Charles 22, Marie 18, Jehan 16, Habraham 14, Michel 12, Olivier 10, Claude 8, Francois 5; 20 cattle, 12 sheep, 8 arpents. - 1686 Port Royal: Michel Boudrot 85, Michelle auCoin 65, Michel 26, Francois 20; 3 guns, 20 arpents, 16 cattle, 17 sheep, 6 hogs. - 1693 Port Royal: Michelle auCoin (widow of Michel Boudrot) 78, Francois Boudrot 28, Marguerite Bellineaux (his wife) 16; 20 cattle, 18 sheep, 12 hogs, 25 arpents, 1 gun. - “Michel Boudreau, who was born in France around 1600 and who settled in Acadia during the 1630s, is the ancestor of the Acadian family of that name. He was probably recruited by Gov. Charles d'Aulnay since he was present at the baptism of the governor's daughter, Marie d'Aulnay, on Sept. 21, 1639, in his capacity as First Trustee of Port-Royal. He was also one of the signatories of an attestation favorable to d'Aulnay's works in 1687. At the Port-Royal census of 1671, he was 71 years old and the father of a family of 11 children, three of whom were married. He had married Michelle Aucoin in France. In 1686, he was lieutenant general and judge of the Port-Royal tribunal. His son Charles settled at Pisiguit and Claude at Grand Pre, while Jean and Michel went to Beaubassin. His other sons stayed at Port Royal, including Abraham, who was a navigator and merchant. He traded with Boston on his shallop, the Marie. In January 1693, Commander de Villebon sent him on a mission to Boston where he was to make discreet inquiries about the state of affairs there and to report to him. He seems to have acquitted himself of his mission with success. Following in the footsteps of Abraham, several descendants of Michel Boudreau and Michelle Aucoin became navigators.
