Notes
DNA. The Mothers of Acadia Maternal DNA project is conducting ongoing research to verify their origins. In 2010, Stephen White reported that Marguerite Doucet had a Haplogroup T2b. I don't know the details regarding how many of her descendants were tested to support this report. Ongoing test results are also reported here. As of May 2014, 7 descendants have consistently reported a T2 haplogroup, indicating European origins.
Mother. Selon Stephen White[1]: "Il n'est pas possible que la mère des enfants de Germain Doucet soit une soeur de la femme de Jacques Bourgeois comme certains auteurs font prétendre, étant donné que les beaux-parents de ce dernier ne se sont mariés qu'en 1627. Il existe néanmoins la possibilité que Germain Doucet se soit marié en deuxième noces à une fille de Guillaume Trahan qui ne lui a donné aucun enfant survivant, mais il est aussi possible que sa seconde femme soit la soeur de Jacques Bourgeois et non pas la soeur de sa femme."
According to Stephen White[2]: "It is not possible that Germain Doucet's children to have been a sister of Jacques Bourgeois wife, as some writers have claimed, considering that Bourgeois' father and mother-in-law were only married in 1627. It is nevertheless possible that Germain Doucet married secondly Guillaume Trahan's daughter, who subsequently gave him no children who survived in Acadia, bit it is also possible that his second wife was Jacques Bourgeois's sister and not his wife's sister."

Notes:

Sieur de Laverdure, Capitaine d'armes, major

Germain Doucet, Sieur de La Verdure (born around 1595 near Couperans en Brye (most likely Coubron northeast of Paris), France) was a French commander in the French colony of Acadia, and the progenitor of the surnames Doucet and Doucette in North America.

Doucet's career began when he entered into an association with Charles de Menou d?Aulnay, noted seaman, captain, and future governor of Acadia. In 1632, he arrived in Acadia with the governor Isaac de Razilly. He served as master of arms of Fort Pentagouet (now Castine, Maine) as a major. After the death of d?Aulnay in 1650, Doucet became commandant serving at the French fort of Port Royal (now Annapolis Royal). Under Major General Robert Sedgwick, the English captured the fort on August 15, 1654. Under the terms of the surrender, Doucet was forced to leave Acadia for good, and returned to France. Both his sons Pierre and Germain and his daughter Marguerite stayed behind, however. Pierre married, in 1660, Henriette Pelletret, by whom he had issue. Germain married Marie Landry, and Marguerite married Abraham Dugas.The name of Germain's wife is uncertain, although some genealogists suggest she may have been Marie Bourgeois.

1649: D'Aulnay's will mentions Germain Doucet "from the parish of Conflans (?) en Brye" according to Massignon, or "Couperans en Brie" according to Candide de Nant.

16 Aug 1654: Capitulation of Port-Royal: "Result of all the articles presented by M. Doucet de La Verdure, on the one hand as captain commanding for the King in Port Royal, and on the other as surrogate guardian of the minor children of the late M. d'Aulnay, to Mr. Robert Sedgwick, general of the squadron and Commander-in-chief on all the coast of New England in America ... and to better ensure the keeping of the above articles the said Sr. de La Verdure has left as hostage M. Jacques Bourgeois, his brother-in-law and the lieutenant of the place, as well as the bearer of his power of attorney with respect to the present treaty."

Germain Doucet returned to France after the 1654 attack on the colony by the English. After d'Aulnay's death, Germain and d'Aulnay's widow were awarded joint administration of d'Aulnay's estate, and he was appointed tutor of the minor children.?

TAKEN FROM:https://www.geni.com/people/Germain-Doucet/6000000003079414947 About Germain Doucet
Following is a short biographical sketch of Germain Doucet, Sieur de Laverdure. It was printed in The Advertiser, page 8C, dated 10 August 1997, published in Lafayette, Louisiana (items in [ ] are added from other sources to help clarify information):

Germain DOUCET dit Laverdure [born about 1595], native of Couperans-in-Brie, France, arrived in Acadia in 1632 with the Commander Isaac de Razilly and Charles de Menou d'Aulnay. The King of France gave Razilly, a Knight in the Order of Malta, the task of retaking possession of the colony of Acadia from the English following the treaty of St-Germain-en-Laye, which returned Acadia to France. Two ships, the St-Jehan and the L'Esperance-in-Dieu, left from d'Auray in Brittany on the 23rd of July, 1632. Germain Doucet was an officer [a Major (Captain of Arms)] among the small group of soldiers that accompanied this mission.

Doucet apparently was accompanied by his wife, Marguerite [see note below] and his son, Pierre, and his daughter, Louise-Marguerite [or Marguerite-Louise-Judith]. The family landed first at La Heve [La Have], where Germain assisted in the construction of Fort Sainte-Marie-de-Grace. [Note: The name of Germain's wife is unknown. See information about his wife in Generation I of the genealogical data.]

Within three months of their arrival, Razilly sent d'Aulnay to retake Port Royal, which was still occupied by the English. Doucet, who would always be d'Aulnay's faithful friend, accompanied him on this mission. At Port Royal, those English colonists who wanted to leave the colony and return to England were boarded on the St-Jehan and sent first to La Heve. Germain Doucet then accompanied the St-Jehan to England to return the English colonists. From there, Doucet returned to France, where he met d'Aulnay aboard the Esperance- en-Dieu, and they returned to Acadia with new French colonists.

Later, in 1635, d'Aulnay was ordered to retake possession of Fort Pentagouet at the western limit of Acadia near the present day Castin, Maine, from the British. Once again, Germain Doucet accompanied d'Aulnay, this time with his family. D'Aulnay returned to Port Royal after the fort was retaken and left Doucet in command of a small garrison. The British soon sent a detachment from Plymouth, Mass., to try to retake the fort, but the French under the command of Germain Doucet, successfully repelled the attack.

Razilly was governor of but a part of Acadia. The rest of the colony was governed by Charles de La Tour. La Tour and Razilly coexisted in Acadia on peaceful terms, but in late 1635, Razilly died suddenly, leaving his position as governor of his part of the colony to his brother, Claude de Razilly. Unwilling to leave France, Claude de Razilly delegated his powers to Charles de Menou d'Aulnay. Soon after d'Aulnay succeeded to this post, relations with La Tour deteriorated, in part due to a confusing geographic division of the colony between the two governors by the King of France. By 1636, this quarrel had degenerated to open warfare, and La Tour demanded that d'Aulnay give up the post at Pentagouet, commanded by Doucet. D'Aulnay and Doucet refused to do so, and proceeded to make plans to reinforce the fort. A small party sent from Fort Pentagouet to Port Royal for provisions, which very well may have included the commander, Doucet, was captured by forces loyal to La Tour and held prisoner. But soon after, La Tour is defeated and captured following a naval engagement with the vessel of d'Aulnay.

In 1645, following the death of the commander, Isaac Pessely, Doucet was named commander of the garrison at Port Royal. By 1647, the forces loyal to d'Aulnay had consolidated their power over the colony, and La Tour was forced to take refuge in Quebec. However, in May 1650, d'Aulnay drowned when his canoe overturned in the Riviere du Moulin. D'Aulnay's widow, Jeanne de Mottin, and Germain Doucet executed d'Aulnay's possession.

In 1651, Jeanne de Mottin married her late husband's rival, Charles de La Tour, and through this marriage, La Tour retook power in the colony. Doucet signed as a witness to their marriage, and La Tour left him in command of the garrison at Port Royal.

In July 1654, despite the fact that England and France were at peace, Major Robert Sedgewick of Boston attacked and took La Tour's fort at Pentagouet, and proceeded immediately to lay siege to Port Royal. Doucet and his men resisted the attack for 16 days, however, faced with an opponent superior in numbers and armament, Doucet was finally forced to surrender Port Royal to Sedgewick and the English. Doucet and his wife were taken prisoner and returned to France, never to return to the New World.

---------------------------------------------- Germain DOUCET was born in 1596 in France. Germain DOUCET dit Sieur de La Verdure was a native of Couperans-en-Brie, near Paris. The name of his wife is unknown; it has been said that he was the brother-in-law of Jacques BOURGEOIS. His son Pierre was born in 1621 and his daughter Marguerite Louise in 1625, both in France. Presumably they came to Acadia with their father about 1632 when he entered the service of Charles d'AULNAY.

In 1640 he was a master-in-arms at Pentagouet (Castine, Maine) where he commanded the French fort with the rank of major. Germain enjoyed an especially close relationship with d'AULNAY who, in his will of January 20, 1649, instructed his wife to take care of Germain and his wife. He referred to him as "Germain DOUCET dict La Verdure, de la Paroisse de Couperna en Brie." In a codicil of February 20, 1649, d'AULNAY referred to one who should be continued in his job because of the fidelity and affection that he has always shown. LAUVRIERE (La Tragedie d'un Peuple, vol. 1, p. 496) believes that this was a reference to Pierre MELANSON, also known as Sieur de La Verdure, who was chef de la milice in the colony. After d'AULNAY drowned in 1650, Pierre MELANSON became the tutor of d'AULNAY's children, while Germain DOUCET became commandant of the fort at Port Royal. He held this position when SEDGWICK




Merge Carefully
Germain's first wife (mother of his children) was European, NOT Amerindian. The confusion comes in that 2 of his children have Metis blood. But one child was born when he was not in Europe with his wife (unnamed daughter). Son Germain (supposedly adopted) could have been from same woman.

"The Passenger List of the Ship SAINT-JEHAN and the Acadian Origins," in FRENCH CANADIAN AND ACADIAN GENEALOGICAL REVIEW; 1600-1700; vol. 1, no. 1 (spring 1968); p. 71; sent by PERSI in Jun 1999. Germain DOUCET dit La Verdure was a brother-in-law of Jacques BOURGEOIS. However, since Jacques was only 16 at the time and NOT married, he would have had to have been a sister to Jacques, but Jacques was a bastard child -- and the sister would have been OLDER than Jacques by quite a bit. So this is a huge mystery.

The confusion comes in that 2 of Germain's children were likely adopted and were Amerindian.

Port Royale
Was the commander of the fort at Port Royale. Now called Annapolis Royal. On Augast 15 1654 Major Generald Robert Sedgwick captured the Fort. Germaine was sent back to France.
