Louise Dite Jeanne DOUCET was the child of Pierre DOUCET dit LAVERDURE and Henriette PELLETRET
Pierre Chênet, Chesnet, Chenais, or Chesnay, a lawyer born in Paris in c1646, came to Acadia during the early 1680s. In Canada, Pierre had fathered an illegitimate daughter, Marie-Madeleine, born at Québec in July 1682. Pierre, however, did not marry his daughter's mother: Marguerite, daughter of Jacques Boissel and Marie Héripel. Pierre evidently thought it prudent to relocate to another part of New France; his own mother, in fact, "made it known that she would give him ten thousand écus, if he found he could be honestly married in Acadia." Pierre fulfilled his mother's wishes, eventually. In May 1683, he became a seigneur at Mégais, today's Machias, on the Maine coast, becoming the Sieur Dubreuil, but he also spent time in Port-Royal, where he served as a schoolmaster under Abbé Louis Petit, the vicar general of Acadia. In October 1685, the abbé wrote of Pierre to the Bishop of Québec: "... 'this man is the only one with whom I can discuss God with an open heart, there having been in this neighbourhood no spiritual help in the nine years I have been without a companion, and without counsel, in the midst of a thousand difficulties.'" In 1686, de Meulles, calling him Dubreiul, counted him on his seigneurie at Mégais with only "a few servants." Finally, in c1691, Pierre would take a bride: Louise dite Jeanne, daughter of Pierre Doucet and Henriette Pelletret, who he married probably at Port-Royal.
