Michel Boudrot (Boudreau) arrived in Acadia before September 21, 1639, when he is mentioned as being one of the first syndic (official law officer) in Port Royal. Although listed as a farmer in the census of 1671, we find him mentioned as the Lieutenant Gouverneur civil et criminel (magistrate) in the 1686 census.

In August 1688, he gave up his post as lieutenant général because of his 'great age'; he was 88. He died not long afterwards. His wife Michelle, two decades his junior, lived until December 1706, when she died at Port-Royal, age 85. Michel and Michelle raised 11 children. Their four daughters married into the Robichaud, Thériot, Bourg, Babineau, and Poirier families. Their seven sons, all born at Port-Royal, created families of their own, but not all
