Biography
BLANCHARD, GUILLAUME, early settler on the Petitcodiac River; b. at Port-Royal (Annapolis Royal, N.S.), 1650; son of Jean Blanchard and Radegonde Lambert; d. 1716.
In 1672 Guillaume married Huguette Gougeon, daughter of Antoine Gougeon and Jeanne Chabrat. They had 12 children between 1674 and 1698. In July 1698, Blanchard and two of his sons joined Pierre Tibaudeau on the latter’s second expedition to the Chipoudy (Shepody) River. The Blanchards, sailing in their own boat, explored the Petitcodiac before returning to Port-Royal in the autumn. In the summer of 1699 they returned to the Petitcodiac and established a small settlement, known for a time as “Village des Blanchard,” probably near the present site of Hillsborough, N.B. Blanchard returned again the next year, and in 1701 he left two sons, a daughter, and her husband to spend the winter on the Petitcodiac.
Legal suits had been threatened by Claude-Sébastien de Villieu on behalf of his father-in-law, Michel Leneuf de La...Read MORE...

Younger son, Guillaume, born at Port-Royal in c1650, married Huguette, daughter of Antoine Gougeon, at Port-Royal in c1673. Guillaume fathered a dozen children, including five sons who married into the Savoie, Thériot, Dupuis, Robichaud, and Girouard families.
