    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]
