"Robert Cormier, a master ship's carpenter born probably at La Rochelle, France, in c1610, perhaps the son of Abraham Cormier of Dieppe and Catherine LeMayne, sailed to Acadia in early 1644 aboard Le Petit St.-Pierre, so he was among the earliest settlers in the colony. He reached Fort St.-Pierre on Cape Breton Island in late spring of that year with his wife Marie Péraud and two young sons, Thomas and Jean. Back in La Rochelle, Robert had signed an indenture with associates of Acadian proprietor Nicolas Denys, who owned Fort St.-Pierre. Cormier's indenture with Denys called for three years service, but he stayed on at Fort St.-Pierre, now St. Peter's, Nova Scotia, until 1650, when he took his family to Port-Royal. Sometime in the 1650s, when trouble again shook the colony, Robert, his wife, and their younger son probably returned to La Rochelle. But son Thomas, who turned 18 in 1654, the year the English seized Port-Royal again, remained in the colony despite the troubles erupting all around him. He probably was a ship's carpenter like his father and worked at the trade in the colony's major settlement. "
