About Robichaud, Charles 'Cadet' ROBICHEAU
His land and house were situated on the actual grounds of Fort Anne, in Port Royal, which were expropriated from him for an extension of the Fort. This was witnessed on December 2, 1705 by the land surveyor, Lord de Labat. According to the census of 1700 he had 12 head of cattle and 14 sheep, on 16 acres of land. After he lost his land he moved his family to a piece of land about 1/2 mile from the Fort. Unfortunately, the fort did little to protect Charles and his family from the raids of the New England settlers. After a failed attack by Colonel Church in 1704, a more successful one on June 6, 1707, caused extensive damage, including the burning of the church, stores, and a number of houses, including those owned by Charles and his brothers. Charles remained and rebuilt his home , although Port Royal went to the British in 1710. In August of 1714, La Ronde Denys de Pensens prepared a list of families living around Port Royal. The list included Charles and his family. He was still living there in 1718. While living there and being surrounded by the English, life became unbearable. Charles then moved to the Truro area which was far away from the English and it allowed them to sell their cattle to Louisburg. Truro was close to the sea, so this made excellent connections to Prince Edward Island. This is where Charles was in 1720. Charles along with his descendants were called Cadets (meaning older ones) to distinguish them from the Prudents and the Nigannes.
En 1693, il possédait 10 bêtes à cornes, 18 brebis, 7 cochons, 16 arpents en valeur et un fusil. En 1698, il avait 9 bêtes à cornes, 9 brebis, 6 cochons, 10 arpents et 1 fusil. En 1700, il avait 12 bêtes à cornes, 14 brebis, 16 arpents et un fusil. En 1701, il possédait 6 bêtes à crornes, 9 brebis, 8 cochons, 6 arpents et un fusil. En août 1695, Charles Robichaud prête le serment de fidélité au roi d'Angleterre à Port-Royal; il fait sa marque.En 1707, il avait 8 fils au-dessous de 14 ans, 14 bêtes à cornes, 9 brebis, 11 cochons, 3 arpents et un fusil.En 1710, il avait 7 fils.En 1714, il était toujours à Port-Royal, au Cappe, il avait avec lui sa femme, 8 fils et 2 filles.En 1752, sa veuve Marie Bourg est réfugié à Memramcook seule.En 1754, la veuve Robichaud habite toujours Memramcook mais un de ses fils est avec elle.

This is the 1671 Census from online -The family was listed in the 1671 census at Port Royal (Annapolis Royal, Nova Scotia, Canada). In 1678, an acre of their land was cultivated and they had 19 cattle. The location of their farm is uncertain, but in 1707, his son Alexandre's farm was on the north bank of the Dauphin (Annapolis) River east of Goat Island.[7]

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.
