ACADIA

Abraham Dugas, a skilled gunsmith perhaps from Chouppes, Poitiers, France, born in c1616, reached Acadia in the early 1640s--among the early settlers of the colony. (There is genetic evidence that Abraham may have had Jewish ancestry, which would have made him unique among his fellow Acadians.) In October 1687, Abraham "made his mark on an attestation in favour of Governor d'Aulnay's accomplishments," which attests to his early presence in the colony. Abraham also was more than a gunsmith at Port-Royal. According to a high French official, Abraham Dugas "carried out the functions of general representative of the King [in civil and criminal matters]," so he probably came from an influential family in France. Abraham married Marguerite, daughter of Germain Doucet, sieur de La Verdure and his first wife, at Port-Royal in c1647. They had eight children, five daughters and three sons, all born at Port-Royal. Abraham died at Port-Royal by 1700. In December 1705, in order to increase the size of the fort at Port-Royal, colonial officials appropriated two lots "adjoining and drawing towards the old fort" that belonged to Abraham's heirs. His daughters married into the Melanson ditLa Ramée, Bourgeois, Mignot dit Châtillon, Arseneau, and LeBlanc families. All three of his sons also created their own families. Some of his children and grandchildren left Port-Royal and settled at Chignecto, Cap-Sable, Minas, Cobeguit, and on Île Royale and Île St.-Jean.

Oldest son Claude, born in c1649, a gunsmith like his father, married first to Françoise, daughter of Jacques Bourgeois and Jeanne Trahan, at Port-Royal in c1673. They had 12 children, including three sons who married daughters of Bernard Bourg. Their nine daughters married into the Melanson, Forest, Bourg, Part dit LaForest, Thibodeau, Hébert, Broussard, and Brun families. Claude remarried to Marguerite, another daughter of Bernard Bourg and Françoise Brun, at Port-Royal in c1697. They had 10 children, including five sons who married into the Coste, Girouard, and Robichaudfamilies. Their five daughters married into the Aubois dit Dubois, Bergeron dit d'Amboise, Amireau, and Belliveaufamilies. Claude also owned land at Chignecto as early as 1682. Claude died at Port-Royal in October 1732, in his early 80s, no doubt surrounded by many children, grandchildren, and even great-grandchildren. Most of his children from his first marriage remained at Port-Royal, though two of his sons settled at Cobeguit, and children from his second marriage settled not only at Port-Royal, but also on Rivière St.-Jean and at Port-Toulouse and Port-d'Orléans on Île Royale, today's Cape Breton Island. Several of his grandchildren settled at Minas. By the early 1750s, many of his grandchildren had moved to Île St.-Jean, today's Prince Edward Island, probably to escape British authority in Nova Scotia.

addendum:Histoire acadienne de la famille
D?après Léopold Lanctôt o.m.i., selon toute probabilité, Anthoine vint en Acadie en 1632, avec le commandeur Isaac de Razilly, qui amenait « 300 hommes d'élite », dont une douzaine de familles. Anthoine Bourg devait être accompagné de son père Simon Bourg, de sa mère Hélène Comtée et d?une s?ur Perrine Bourg. Port-Royal étant encore occupé par une petite garnison écossaise, la recrue est débarquée à La Hève, au sud de la presqu?île acadienne.
En 1636, la famille Bourg déménagera à Port-Royal, qui a été rendu à la France, entre- temps Charles de Menou d?Aulnay, qui a succédé au commandeur de Razilly, ne laisse que quelques colons à La Hève. En 1641, il épousera à Port-Royal, Anthoinette Landry née en France vers 1618, arrivée en Acadie en 1640 sur le bateau «Le Saint-Françoys ou le Saint-Jean» avec son père Jean-Claude Landry et sa deuxième épouse, Marie Sallée ainsi que sept autres membres de sa famille.
Anthoine Bourg s?établit sur la Rive-Nord de la rivière du Port-Royal. Son nom est donné au Village du Bourg situé au nord-ouest du fort de Port-Royal. Onze enfants naîtront de leur union. En 1687, Anthoine Bourg sera au nombre des «vieux habitants du pays» qui déclareront avoir été témoins des travaux de Charles de Menou, lieutenant de Razilly. Au recensement de 1693, Anthoine Bourg est décédé; Anthoinette Landry demeure avec le plus jeune de ses fils, Abraham. Au recensement de 1698, Anthoinette est décédée.
Selon Monseigneur Louis Richard, les Bourg déjà divisés en cinq familles différentes de la seconde génération auraient dû être très nombreux à l?époque de la dispersion. Cependant, les générations suivantes ne se développèrent pas dans une aussi grande proportion. Le recensement de 1714 nous fait constater qu?il y a quatre Bourg à Port- Royal, six à Cobequid, un aux Mines et deux à Beaubassin. À Port-Royal, ce sont les familles de Bernard et d?Abraham; à Cobequid, ce sont celles de Jean et de Martin; à
Beaubassin, c?est le fils et le petit-fils de François. En 1728, il y avait deux Bourg émigrés à l?Ile Saint-Jean, Michel et Charles.

It has not been possible to determine whether there was a family relationship between Antoine Bourg and Perrine Bourg, wife of Simon Pelletret and René Landry. It appears that they were not brother and sister.

5 Oct 1697: Antoine Bourg made his mark on an attestation in favor of the accomplishments of Governor d'Aulnay; he had thus arrived in Acadia before 1650, the year of d'Aulnay's death.?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Acadian history of the family
According to Leopold Lanctot oM.i., in all probability, Anthoine came to Acadia in 1632, with the commander Isaac de Razilly, who brought "300 elite men", including a dozen families. Anthoine Bourg was to be accompanied by his father Simon Bourg, his mother Hélène Comtée and a sister Perrine Bourg. Port-Royal being still occupied by a small Scottish garrison, the recruit is disembarked at La Hève, south of the Acadian peninsula.
In 1636, the Bourg family moved to Port-Royal, which was returned to France, meanwhile Charles de Menou Aulnay, who succeeded the commander of Razilly, leaves only a few settlers in La Hève. In 1641, he married in Port-Royal, Anthoinette Landry born in France around 1618, arrived in Acadia in 1640 on the boat "Saint-Françoys or Saint-Jean" with his father Jean-Claude Landry and his second wife, Marie Sallée and seven other members of her family.
Anthoine Bourg settles on the North Shore of the Port-Royal River. His name is given at Village du Bourg, located northwest of Fort Port-Royal. Eleven children will be born from their union. In 1687, Anthoine Bourg will be among the "old inhabitants of the country" who claim to have witnessed the work of Charles de Menou, lieutenant of Razilly. At the 1693 census, Anthoine Bourg died; Anthoine Landry lives with the youngest of her sons, Abraham. At the census of 1698, Anthoinette died.
According to Monsignor Louis Richard, Bourg already divided into five different families of the second generation should have been very numerous at the time of the dispersion. However, subsequent generations did not develop in such a large proportion. The census of 1714 shows us that there are four towns at Port Royal, six at Cobequid, one at Mines, and two at Beaubassin. In Port Royal, they are the families of Bernard and Abraham; at Cobequid they are those of John and Martin; at
Beaubassin is the son and grandson of François. In 1728, there were two Bourg émigrés on Ile Saint-Jean, Michel and Charles

Notes:

https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/144085911/antoinette-landry

Antoinette married Antoine Bourg in 1636, in Port-Royal, Acadie. They are the parents of the following:
1) Francois (1643-) md Marguerite Boudreau
2) Marie (1645-1677) md Vincent Brault
3) Jean (1647-1703) md Marguerite Martin
4) Bernard (1648-) md Francoise Brun

9) Jeanne (1659-) md Pierre Comeau
10) Abraham (1662-) md Marie-Sebastienne
11) Marguerite (1667-1727) md Louis Alain

Please note that according to Stephen A White, Antoinette died sometime after 1693, since she is listed in the 1693 Port-Royal census but not on the 1698 census. So she died between those two dates.

The following census is provided by Donna Storz #47773759:
1693 Port Royal Census:
Anthoinette LANDRY (widow of Anthoine BOURG) 76, Abraham BOURG (son) 31, Marie BRUN (wife) 35, Jean Baptiste 9, Marguerite 7, Claude 5, Pierre 4, Marie 2; 12 cattle, 20 sheep, 8 pigs, 26 arpents, 1 gun

Antoine and Antoinette are the grandparents of Joseph Theriault and Euphrosine Terriot, through their daughter Marie.

Abraham married Marie-Marguerite Doucet. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

According to Acadian historian Father Clément Cormier, Jacques Bourgeois was an army officer who served at Port-Royal in the 1650s and evidently was the brother-in-law of Germain Doucet, sieur de La Verdure, an associate of Acadian Governor Charles d'Aulnay. When the English seized Acadia in 1654, four years after d'Aulnay's death, Robert Sedgwick, leader of the English expedition, held Jacques Bourgeois as "hostage" to insure that Doucet, in command at Port-Royal, would fulfill the terms of surrender. Father Cormier says Jacques was repatriated to France along with other French officers and never returned to Acadia. According to Cormier, it was Jacques's son, Jacques dit Jacob, not Jacques, père the soldier, who was progenitor of the family in Acadia. However, more recent studies devoted to this important family, including that of genealogist Stephen A. White, tell a different story:

Jacques dit Jacob or Jacobus Bourgeois was born in France, perhaps at La Ferté-Gaucher on Rivière Grand-Morin in Champagne east of Paris, in c1619, parents unknown. A young surgeon, trained perhaps by members of l'Ordre de Malte, Jacques was recruited by Claude Launay-Rasilly, brother of Isaac de Razilly, after the French re-established control of Acadia in the 1630s. Jacques came to Acadia in 1641 aboard the St.-François and established one of the first families in the colony. He married Jeanne, daughter of prominent settler Guillaume Trahan and his first wife Françoise Corbineau, at Port-Royal in c1643. Jeanne had come to Acadia even earlier than Jacques--in 1636 aboard the St.-Jehan, with her father, mother, and a sister. In February 1653, Jacques stood as a witness to the marriage of Governor Charles La Tour and Jeanne Motin de Reux, the widow of former Governor Charles d'Aulnay. Jacques was second in command of the post when Robert Sedgwick and his New Englishmen captured Port-Royal August 1654. Jacques remained there with his wife and children and became a farmer and a shipbuilder. He also worked as a merchant, trading regularly with the New Englanders of Boston. Having learned to speak English fluently, he served as the King's interpreter in dealings with the English. Jacques also became a successful fur trader among the Indians and ventured to every corner of the colony. It is said that in 1671, when the first Acadian census was taken, Jacques was the most properous habitant in the colony. In 1672, he sold a part of his holdings at Port-Royal and, with his two older sons and two of his sons-in-law, pioneered the major Acadian settlement of Mésagouèche, later Missaguash, on the isthmus of Chignecto, "the first swarming of the Acadians to establish their hive," as one historian describes it. He built a flour mill and a saw mill at Chignecto to encourage settlement beside the wide salt marshes that were perfect for cattle raising. In 1676, part of Chignecto became the seigneurie of Canadian-born French nobleman Michel LeNeuf de La Vallière, père, who named his 100-league holding Beaubassin. La Vallière brought in settlers and indentured employees from Canada, in direct competition with the earlier, adjacent Bourgeois settlement. According to Acadian tradition, a clause in La Vallière's land grant title "protected the interests of Jacques Bourgeois and the other Acadian settlers established on the domain," and "it was not long before the two elements of the population merged into one."

Jacques and Jeanne had 10 children, seven daughters and three sons. Six of their daughters married into the Cyr, Girouard, Boudrot, Mirande dit Tavare, Maisonnat dit Baptiste, Dugas, LeBlanc, and Comeau le jeune dit Des Loups-Marins families. A French census taker found Jacques living with one of his sons at Chignecto in 1698, but otherwise he spent his final days at Port-Royal. He died at Port-Royal in c1701, in his early 80s. All three of his sons, born at Port-Royal, created families of their own, but only two of them had sons:

Oldest son Charles, born in c1646, married Anne, daughter of Abraham Dugas and Marguerite Doucet, at Port-Royal in c1668. Charles and Anne had four children, including two sons who married into the Blanchard family. One of their daughters married into the Caissie family. One of Charles's grandsons, Honoré, who married twice into the Richard family, moved from Chignecto to Île St.-Jean, today's Prince Edward Island, in the late 1740s or early 1750s probably to escape British authority in Nova Scotia.

Germain, born in c1650, married Madeleine, daughter of Antoine Belliveau and Andrée Guyon, probably at Chignecto in c1673. They had three children, including a son who married into the Mius de Pleinmarais and Thibodeau families. Their daughter married into the Breau family. Germain remarried to Madeleine, another daughter of Abraham Dugas and Marguerite Doucet and sister of brother Charles's wife Anne, probably at Chignecto in c1682. They had 10 children, including two sons who married into the LeBlanc family. Their eight daughters married into the Poirier, Richard dit Lafond and dit Beaupré, Girouard, LeBlanc, and Robichaud dit Prudent families. In 1696, during King William's War, Germain commanded a ship in Pierre Le Moyne, sieur d'Iberville's attack on the New England fort at Pemaquid, Maine. Later that year, Germain confronted Massachusetts Colonel Benjamin Church when the Englishman attacked Chignecto. Germaine died in 1711, in his early 60s, from the rigors of being held hostage by British Colonel Samuel Vetch in the dungeon at Port-Royal during Queen Anne's War.

Youngest son Guillaume, born in c1655, married Marie-Anne, daughter of Martin d'Aprendestiguy, sieur de Martignon, a Basque fur trader and seigneur on lower Rivière St.-Jean, and Jeanne de Saint-Étienne de La Tour, daughter of former governor Charles La Tour, probably at Port-Royal in c1686. Guillaume did not follow his older brothers to Chignecto but remained with his father at Port-Royal, where he became a merchant like his father. In September 1727, he was one of the delegates from Port-Royal representing Acadian interests before the Nova Scotia Council at Port-Royal. Along with two other Acadian leaders, Charles Landry and Abraham Bourg, Guillaume refused to take the oath of allegiance to British King George II and was imprisoned for his opposition. Guillaume and his wife had only a single child, a daughter, who married into the LeBlanc family.

Jacques was a surgeon by trade. He immigrated to Port-Royal in 1642. He married Jeanne Trahan in 1643, and they are the parents of the following:

1) Jeanne (1644-1730) md Andre Coudray
2) Charles (1646-) md Anne Dugas

8) Anne (1661-1747) md Rene Leblanc
9) Marie (1665-) md Antoine Leblanc
10) Jeanne (1667-1716) md Pierre Comeau

Jacques became a farmer and shipbuilder in Port Royal. He traded with Bostonians and learned English, enabling him to become an interpreter. He sold part of his holdings in 1672, and settled in the Chignecto Basin, along with his two oldest sons and two of his sons-in-law. He became the first promotor of Beaubassin, by building a flour mill and a saw mill, encouraging more people to settle the area, which became very prosperous.

He returned to Port-Royal again before 1699, living there until his death in 1701.
