Marie Jeanne GAUDET was the child of Denis GAUDET and Martine GAUTHIER
Martin Aucoin was once thought to be a half-brother of the Aucoin sisters, Michelle, wife of Michel Boudrot, and Jeanne, wife of François Girouard, but Martin evidently hailed from a different line of the family in France. He married Marie, daughter of Denis Gaudet and Martine Gauthier, at Port-Royal in c1673, but they did not appear in the 1678 census, which counted habitants only at Port-Royal. Perhaps they were living at Chignecto, on Rivière St.-Jean, on the Atlantic-side of the peninsula, or in Canada that year. De Meulles noted that Martin, fils was 35 years old, and Marie was 27 in 1686. The intendant found them at Minas with eight children, four sons and four daughters, the youngest one, a daughter, only 7 months old. They owned 1 gun, 15 cattle, 10 sheep, and 6 hogs. Marie had been age 16 at the time of her marriage, bore her first child the following year, and gave birth to her last child at age 50! She gave Martin 19 children, including nine sons who created families of their own.

The priest noted in Martin's burial record: 'mort subitement le jour de l'Ascension au retour de la messe, ayant toujours vécu fort chrétiennement et avec édification'--that is, he died suddenly on Ascension Day returning from mass, having always lived a...Read MORE...
