Notes:

Jean Blanchard, the actual progenitor of the Blanchards of Acadia, born in France in c1611, was one of the earliest settlers in the colony. At age 31, he married 21-year-old Radégonde Lambert at Port-Royal in c1642. Radegonde gave Jean six children, including two sons who created their own families. Their daughters married into the Gaudet, Guérin, and Richard dit Sansoucy families. Radegonde died at Port-Royal in the 1670s or 1680s, leaving Jean a widower. He never remarried. He died at Port-Royal on his homestead next to the fort in the early 1690s; he was over 80 years old.

In 1671 Jean Blanchard, age 60 was living in Port Royal with his wife, Radegonde LAMBERT and their unmarried children Guillaume 21, Bernard 18, Marie 15. At that time they owned 12 cattle and 9 sheep. (Source: Acadian Census 1671).

An error in Jean LeBlanc's deposition at Belle-Ile-en-Mer led Rameau de Saint-Pere to add a non-existent generation to the genealogy of the Blanchards. LeBlanc declared that the great-grandparents of his wife Francoise Blanchard were Guillaume Blanchard and Huguette Poirier, rather than Jean Blanchard and Radegonde Lambert, having confused the names of Martin Blanchard's brother and sister-in-law with those of this father and mother. Without proof, Rameau affirmed that Guillaume and Huguette had to be Martin Blanchard's grandparents, but no document is currently known that provides the names of Jean Blanchard's parents.

2 Dec 1705: Expropriation of a lot "adjoining the side of the old fort," and belonging to Jean Blanchard, for the extension of the fort at Port Royal. As Jean Blanchard had already been dead for over twelve years, one must suppose that his heirs were the actual owners of this land in 1705.?

Sixteen years or so later Jean and Radegonde were still living in Port Royal. (1686 census).

Jean-Baptiste married Jeanne Radégonde Lambert About 1639, Port-Royal, Acadia, New France. Jeanne (daughter of Jehan Lambert and Marie Anne Mi'kmaq Membertou) was born 5 Apr 1621, Loudun, Vienne, Poitou-Charentes, France; was christened 1621, Grand Pre, Kings, Nova Scotia, Canada; died 1686, Amherst, Nova Scotia, Canada; was buried 1686, Port Royal, Annapolis, Nova Scotia, Canada.

Radegonde?s DNA

Several descendants of Radegonde Lambert through all females have had their mitochondrial DNA tested. Mitochondrial DNA is passed from the mother to both genders of their children, but only females pass it on.

In Radegonde?s case, her DNA, for several years, also proved as puzzling as the records regarding her birth and mother?s ethnicity. No one but Radegonde?s descendants seems to match her DNA. It?s like Radegonde wanted to play a joke on all of her descendants. And a fine job she did too!

Fortunately, that question has now been resolved, and Radegonde?s DNA, haplogroup X2b4, which is exceedingly rare ? as in chicken?s teeth rare ? is found only in Europeans, to date, and not in any Native people.

Radegonde?s and Jehan Blanchard's children

Karen Theroit Reader provides Radegonde?s children, as shown below. In two census records, in both 1671 and 1678, Radegonde and her husband, Jean Blanchard, are living next door to their son, Guilliame Blanchard who was age 35 in 1686.

Madeleine Blanchard born about 1643, probably in Port Royal, died 1678-1684 and married Michel Richard. She had 10 children.
Anne Blanchard was born about 1645, probably in Port Royal, died after 1714 in Beaubassin and married first to Francois Guerin, having 5 children, then to Pierre l?aine Gaudet, having 9 children.
Martin Blanchard was born about 1647, probably in Port Royal and died after July 4, 1718 in Cobeguit. He married first to Marie Francoise Le Blanc having 3 children, then to Marguerite Guilbeau having 8 children.
The three children, above, would have been the three that were married by 1671. The three below would have been the children still at home.

Guillaume Blanchard, born about 1650, probably in Port Royal, died before October 18, 1717 and married Huguette Gougeon, having 12 children.
Bernard Blanchard born about 1653, probably in Port Royal and died after the 1671 census but before the 1686 census.
Marie Blanchard born about 1656, probably in Port Royal, died after 1701, married to Pierre le jeune Gaudet, having 10 children.

Radegonde Lambert was born in France; parents unknown.

Radegonde Lambert Was 21 Years & Jean Blanchard was 31 years old when whey got married around 1642. They were already married when they arrived in Port Royal, Acadia, Nova Scotia, Canada.

Radegonde and Jean had 3 girls and 3 boys:

Madeleine Blanchard - 1643 - 1683
Anne Blanchard - 1645 - 1714
Martin Blanchard - 1647 - 1717
Guillaume Blanchard - 1650 - 1714
Bernard Blanchard - 1652 - 1686
Marie Blanchard - 1656 - 1697

1671 Census:
Jean Blanchard is 60, married to Radegonde. They have 6 children.

There is no mention of Radegonde Lambert or her husband after the 1686 Census & there is no mention of them in the 1693 Census, so it is assumed that they both died between those years.

Notes:

Jeanne Chabrat, daughter of Antoine Chabrat and Francoise Chaumeret, was married twice. Her first marriage was to Jehan Poirier in about 1648 and her second marriage was to Antoine Gougeon in about 1655. Her daughter by Antoine Gougeron was Huguette Gougeon, about Dec 1657. Huguette was married to Guillaume III Blanchard in about 1672. DO NOT CONFUSE GUILLAUME III BLANCHARD, BORN ABOUT 1650, WITH HIS ANCESTOR, GUILLAUME I BLANCHARD, BORN ABOUT 1590, WHO WAS MARRIED TO HUGUETTE POIRIER, WHO WAS THE SISTER OF JEHAN POIRIER. GUILLAUME i BLANCHARD ARRIVED IN NOVA SCOTIA WITH HIS WIFE, HUGUETTE POIRIER AND HER BROTHER, ETC., IN 1656.

Antoine married Jeanne Chabrat. Jeanne was born 5 Feb 1626, La Chaussee, Departement de la Vienne, Poitou-Charentes, France; died About 1678, Port Royal, Annapolis County, Nova Scotia, Canada; was buried , Garrison Graveyard, Annapolis Royal, Annapolis County, Nova Scotia, CA. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

Note: Antoine was the second husband of Jeanne Cabrat (born 5 Feb 1627 in France). Jeanne Cabrat's first husband was Jehan Poirier (born about 1626 in France), who arrived in Nova Scotia about 1636 with a group of people from France, including Guillaume I Blanchard (born about 1590 in France). Guillaume I Blanchard was married to Huguette II Poirier (born about 1593 in France); and she was the full-blood sister of Jehan Poirier (born about 1626 in France). (See "Acadian Descendants," by Janet B. Jehn). Jehan Poirier (born about 1626 in France) died about 1652. His widow, Jeanne Chabrat (born 5 Feb 1627 in France), and her second husband, Antoine Gougeon (born about 1626 in France), had a daughter named Huguette II Agathe Gougeon or Gagean (born about Dec 1657 in Port Royal, Nova Scotia, Canada). To add to the confusion of names, Huguette II Agathe Gougeon or Gagean was married to Guillaume III Blanchard (born abt. 1650 in Nova Scotia, Canada). The generational intermarriage of the Poirier, Gougeon, and Blanchard families has lead to much confusion and incorrect merging of several files in Family.Search.

Jehan married Marie Anne Mi'kmaq Membertou. Marie (daughter of Abnaki Henricus Membertou and Marie Mi'kmaq Abenak Membertou) was born 1565, Lachaussee, Vienne, Poitou-Charentes, France; died 1656, Port Royal, , Nova Scotia, Canada. [Group Sheet]
