" Pierre Comeau, a cooper, born in France in c1598, came to Acadia with Isaac Razilly and the sieur d'Aulnay in 1632. He was, therefore, along with Germain Doucet, one of the first permanent settlers in the colony.

There have been questions about the origin of the Comeau family progenitor in Acadia. Family historian Father James Comeau, O.P., claims that the Pierre Comeau who came to Acadia was the son of Jean de Comeau de Créancy, seigneur of Chassenay, in the upper Loire valley, and Marguerite Ocquidem de La Choselle. According to eminent Acadian genealogist Stephen A. White: "There is, however, no proof of this claim. Father Comeau only found this: that a Pierre de Comeau, born in 1606, was the son of Jean de Comeau de Créancy. The similarity of names does not constitute by itself a proof of identity. All things considered, it would seem most unlikely for this to have been one and the same person, for the following reasons: a. One never finds the particle (de) in any documentation concerning the Comeau family in Acadia. b. According to the censuses, the Acadian Pierre Comeau was at least eight years older than the similarly named Pierre de Comeau. c. The trade of the Acadian Pierre Comeau was hardly the type of employment to which a member of a noble family would have been destined in the seventeenth century. One never sees the titles 'esquire' and 'barrelmaker' attributed to the same person in documents of that time period."

Pierre Comeau the barrel maker worked his trade at La Hève, Razilly's headquarters, and eventually moved to Port-Royal, where he married Rose Bayol in c1649 when he was 51 years old. Rose, who was 18 at the time of their marriage, had come to Acadia aboard the St.-Jehan with her father in 1636. She and Pierre had nine children. Their three daughters married into the Gaudet, Hébert, and Rivet families. Five of their six sons, all born at Port-Royal, created families of their own. Pierre was counted at Port-Royal in 1686; he was 88 years old. The date of his death has been lost to history. "

Biography
She came to Acadia in 1636 with her father, Nicolas Bayols. They sailed aboard the ship 'St.Jehan' with Issac Pesselin and the first families who came to Acadia. She married in Acadia in 1649 to Pierre de Comeau, born in 1597, the son of Jean de Comeau and Marguerite Ocquidem. (From rootsweb.com)

'Barbe Baiols, widow of Savinien de Courpon, was probably one of the ancient settlers of Acadia. The census of 1671 states that she had eight children living in France and two daughters married at Port Royal. The latter were Rose Baiols, wife of Pierre Commeaux, the cooper, and Marie Baiols, wife of Jean Pitre, the edge tool maker. Barbe Baiols, who was then a great- grandmother, must have been an independent sort of person, for she maintained a house of her own, although poor. She was the owner of one cow and five sheep when the census ot 1671 was taken. When the census of 1686 was taken, Rose Baiols had disappeared from Port Royal she was probably dead for she was an aged woman fifteen...Read MORE...
