(White, Stephen A. Dictionnaire Généalogique des Famillies Acadiennes. volume II. Moncton, Canada: Centre d'Études Acadiennes, Université de Moncton, 1999).
Mathieu de Goutin, born in France in c1663 to a family of the lesser nobility, ingratiated himself to an influential marquis. Mathieu came to Port-Royal in 1688 aboard the frigate Friponne to serve as the King's lieutenant général civil et criminel, or general representative for justice, replacing the aging Michel Boudrot in August of that year. De Goutin also served as écrivain, or colonial secretary; as conseiller, or counselor; and as trésorier, or paymaster, at Port-Royal. Despite the disapproval of Acadian Governor Louis-Alexandre des Friches de Meneval, who considered de Goutin a political enemy, Sr. Mathieu married an Acadian girl, Jeanne, 17-year-old daughter of Pierre Thibodeau and Jeanne Thériot, at Port-Royal in c1689. She gave him 13 children, including six sons, only two of whom created families of their own. One of them, Joseph de Ville, became the first Acadian to settle in French Louisiana.
