    Biographie

    Laurent Granger, a young sailor from Plymouth, England, came to Acadia in the late 1650s during the English occupation. He married Marie, 17-year-old daughter of René Landry l'âiné and Perrine Bourg, at Port-Royal in c1667. Laurent had to convert to Catholicism to marry his Acadian girl. She gave him nine children, including five sons, all born in Port-Royal, who created families of their own.

    "Lawrence Granger, naquit en 1637, à Plymouth, Angleterre. II vient en Acadie entre 1659 et 1664. Peut-être avait-il d'abord émigré dans les colonies de la Nouvelle-Angleterre? En 1662, Sir Thomas Temple avait été créé baronet de la Nouvelle-Ecosse, nom que les Anglais avait donné à l'Acadie, dont ils s'étaient emparés en 1654, sans y laisser de garnison, toutefois. Temple, qui demeure à Boston, y recrute des colons pour sa nouvelle baronnie. Lawrence Granger, que le recensement de 1671 qualifiera de matelot, vint peut-être sur le navire de Temple, qui mènera des colons anglais, écossais et hollandais à Port-Royal en 1664. Sur ce navire viennent également Geyrets (Michel) de Forest, Jan Pietr (Jehan Pître) et Roger Kessy (Quessy).

    En 1666, à Port-Royal, il épouse Marie Landry, fille de René Landry, l'Aisné, et de Perrine Bourg. A cette occasion, Lawrence, qui devait être protestant, comme tous les colons de la Nouvelle-Angleterre, dut se convertir au catholicisme. Son prénom de Lawrence est francisé en Laurent. Marie Landry était âgée de 18 ans: elle était née à Port-Royal en 1648.

    De l'union de Laurent GRANGER et Marie LANDRY naquirent 9 enfants: Marie Marguerite, Pierre, Jacques, Joseph, René, Claude, Marie, Anne et Laurent.

    L'un des premiers recensements de Port-Royal en 1671 indique que Laurent Granger est matelot et âgé de trente-quatre ans. Marie Landry, son épouse a vingt-quatre ans. Ils ont alors deux enfants: Marguerite, trois ans et Pierre 9 mois. Ils possèdent cinq bêtes à cornes, six brebis et ont quatre arpents labourables. Cette année-là, Colbert envoie en Acadie une cinquantaine de nouveaux colons et on assiste à la fondation de Beaubassin, Grand-pré, la Rivière aux Canards, Pisiguit et Cobéquid qui sont des lieux que l'on retrouve encore actuellement en Nouvelle- Ecosse. En 1693, le recensement de Port-Royal précise que cinq enfants de ce couple GRANGER / LANDRY vivent encore au foyer. Ils possèdent alors 15 bêtes à cornes, 20 brebis, 12 cochons, 12 arpents et 2 fusils. La guerre entre la France et l'Angleterre continue, et l'Acadie est rendue à la France par le traité de Ryswick (1697). C'est durant cette période que décède Laurent GRANGER. Son épouse décède en 1719 à l'âge de 70 ans".[2]

    Due to the efforts of Isaac de Razilly (1587-1635) and his successor, Charles de Menou D'Aulnay (c.1604-1650)8, it has been estimated, that about 120 permanent inhabitants came to Nova Scotia during a ten year period between 1632 and 1642: the "Bretagne Colonists." Razilly made his first trip to Nova Scotia in 1632, coming out only with workmen, no families. At any rate, there is no record of Acadian families prior to 1636. Likely, there were a few French families established in Nova Scotia before 1636; and, where so, it is further likely, that the wife was a full blooded Micmac. The first French Acadian families (women and children) came over in 1636. The Saint Jehan, "under the command of Captain Saunic weighed anchor at La Rochelle April 1, 1636, carrying 78 passengers and 18 crewmen ..." A precious passenger list, of this voyage in 1636 has survived and has been published; it lists all the men and women who boarded the Saint-Jehan and includes names such as LeCreux (one of the leaders), Motin, Martin (farmer), LeMoine (farmer), Blanchard (vinegrower). Of this 1636 group, it would appear, out of 96, there were but eleven French women, I submit, the first ever to arrive and permanently settle in Acadia. The rest were workmen, most of whom would have returned back to France within a year or two of their arrival.
    Thus the first Acadian families might have been found working and living, between the years 1632-1636, on the shores of the LaHave River (around the present day community of LaHave, Lunenburg). This first community, a dozen families, or so (there are no records), due to political reasons, were relocated to Port Royal sometime just after 1636. At any rate we pick up our story at Port Royal in 1640.
    It is likely, that directly to Port Royal, René came out with his young wife Perrine (she was a Bourg, or a Bourc), together with their first born, a son, René, junior, b.c.1640. We now know that this couple were married in France, before they came out to the New World. The only other thing I might say of this first family, at this time, is that they were to have ten children, the four males being: René (b.1640), Pierre (b.1658), Antoine (b.1660), & Claude (b.1662). In the census of 1671, we can see Rene (age 52), Perrine and certain of their children listed, including: Pierre (age 13), Claude (age 8); they have 10 cattle and 6 sheep. In the census of 1678, we again see Rene and Perrine with their two boys Pierre and Claude, living on an acre of land, and 10 cattle.
