Text: From Stephen A. White. Agnes-Eulalie is described as a legitimate child in her baptismal record, but her parents were only married on 29 Jul 1743, nearly six months after her birth. "This irregularity was apparently the reason for her being sometimes called BRUN and sometimes PELLERIN." If parents are correct, they would have been first cousins.
"I list Joseph BRUN as...father along with a question mark and a substantial explanatory note regarding her alias and what it is likely to mean."

Charles married Marie Francoise Comeau 19 Déc 1715, Annapolis Acadie. Marie (daughter of Pierre Comeau and Jeanne Bourg) was born About 1693, Port Royal, Acadia, New France; died 9 Jul 1752, Chipoudy, Acadia, Nova Scotia, Canada. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

Several miles above the fort at Port-Royal, there was a spot on the Annapolis River that was called in the eighteenth century "l'Esturgeon." the nickname given to Pierre Comeau the elder derived from that place, because that is where he settled.
(note fact or fiction ??????)


Aug 1695 (old style): Pierre Comeau took the oath of allegiance to the King of England at Port-Royal; he made his mark on the document.

He is obviously "L'Aine" meaning the oldest because he is the 1st-born Pierre of Pierre and Rose Bayou. In the marriage of his daughter Anne in 1707, he is referred to as "Pierre L'Aine dit L'Estourgeon".
showing dit distinguishes from brother and other relatives with same name the reason they used the dit
