Biography
Antoine Babin, a farmer perhaps from La Chaussée, near Blois, in the Orleanais region of the Loire valley in France, born in c1631, came to Acadia by c1662, when he married Marie Mercier, daughter of Françoise Gaudet and ____ Mercier, whose given name has been lost to history. (After Marie's father died, Françoise remarried to Daniel LeBlanc and became the matriarch of that prolific Acadian clan.) Antoine died at Port-Royal in c1687, in his mid-50s, and Marie Mercier became a widow like her mother. But before his death, Antoine gave her 11 children. Their seven daughters married into the Rimbault, Landry, Richard dit Sansoucy, Doucet, Breau, Comeau, Doiron, Benoit, Martin, Sauneuf, and Pitre families. Three of their four sons, all born at Port-Royal, created families of their own. All of them settled in the Minas Basin, and one of them moved on to Île St.-Jean, today's Prince Edward Island.

Oldest son Charles, born in c1664, married Madeleine, daughter of Michel Richard ...Read MORE...
