Did You Know? Québec Généalogie - The Seigneurial System (1627 - 1854)
The seigneurial system was a form of land settlement modeled on the French feudal system. It began in New France in 1627 with the formation of the Compagnie des Cent-Associés (or Company of 100 Associates), which was initially responsible for handing out land grants and seigneurial rights. The land was divided into five by 15 kilometer plots, usually along major rivers like the St. Lawrence. They were then further subdivided into narrow, but long lots for settlement. These lots were usually long enough to be suitable for faming, and they provided everyone who lived on them with equal access to neighbouring farms and the river. There were three main groups of people who lived off the land in this system: Seigneurs, Habitants and Engagés

Alexandre LEBORGNE was a seigneur.
Seigneurs were the most important colonists, as they were usually in the military or aristocracy prior to being a settler. These seigneurs then were charged with the task of subdividing large parcels of land into five by 15 kilometer concessions, then renting this land to a habitant. Under regulations set up by the French government in France, the seigneur could also set up a court of law, set up a mill on his land and organize a commune.

Biography
LE BORGNE DE BELLE-ISLE, ALEXANDRE, temporary governor of Acadia, seigneur of Port-Royal; b. 1640 or 1643 at La Rochelle, son of Emmanuel Le Borgne and Jeanne François; d. c. 1693 at Port-Royal.

Emmanuel Le Borgne had advanced considerable sums of money to Menou d’Aulnay, the former governor of Acadia, to further the latter’s plans for colonization. On d’Aulnay’s death in 1650, Le Borgne sought to recover his outlay. His claims and the steps that he took in consequence were to involve him in sharp quarrels which were a blot upon the history of the colony at that period. Young Alexandre thus grew up in an atmosphere of litigation between people whose roles are still appraised in varying ways by historians.

In the autumn of 1656, two years after the capitulation of Port-Royal (Annapolis Royal, N.S.) to Sedgwick, Acadia was ceded by Charles de Saint-Étienne de La Tour to two English colonels, Thomas Temple and William Crowne. The following year Emmanuel Le Borgne was appointed...Read MORE...
