François  BOURC (BOURG)

Oldest son François, born in c1643, a farmer like his father, married Marguerite, daughter of Michel Boudrot, at Port-Royal in c1665. They had seven children, including two sons who married into Melanson family. Their daughters married into the Richard, Maissonat dit Baptiste, LeBlanc, and Melanson families. François died at Port-Royal by 1686. Marguerite remarried to Jean Babineau. François's older son settled at Chignecto. His younger son, Alexandre dit Bellehumeur, settled at Minas. In July 1711, on recommendation of an influential Récollet missionary, Alexandre dit Bellehhumeur was appointed judge, notary, and 'expert land-surveyor' at Minas. He was reaffirmed in this office by Lieutenant-governor Paul Mascarene in May 1740. In December 1744, however, the Nova Scotia Council fired him as notary at Minas and replaced him with René LeBlanc, fils.
