" * CLAUDE TERRIOT was born about 1637 in Port Royal, Acadia.

* At the time of the 1671 census, Claude and his wife Marie were living with their family of four young children aged nine and under. They were raising 13 head of cattle and one sheep and had six arpents of land under cultivation. By the 1678 census they had three more children, but a lot less cattle ! Eight years later their family has grown by only one child but they now had thirteen arpents under cultivation, as well as 8 head of cattle and 6 sheep.
* By the time Claude was 55 and Marie 48, they had fifteen arpents of land cleared and had added hogs to their livestock. Marie now had a two year old toddler underfoot, in addition to seven other children still living with her. The 1698 census shows that they continued to enrich themselves. This hardworking family still counted cattle, sheep and hogs among its livestock and had cleared another three arpents of land, but they had also diversified by adding 50 fruit trees to their farm.
* By 1707 Claude was in his seventies and Marie in her sixties. Their farm had shrunk to two arpents but they still have livestock (six each of cattle and sheep and twelve hogs).
