"En 1650 ou 1651, le gouverneur de l'Acadie, Charles de Saint-Étienne de La Tour, l'invita pour qu'il devienne lieutenant-major et commandant des troupes du roi. La Tour était un ami d'enfance. Le 17 juillet 1653, le gouverneur, pour récompenser d’Entremont de ses services, lui offrit la baronnie de Pobomcoup, un territoire s’étendant du cap Nègre au cap Fourchu, près de l'actuel Yarmouth."

Philippe Mius d'Entremont was born in Normandy, France in 1609. In 1651, he met the Governor Charles de la Tour, who brought Philippe, his wife Madeleine and their daughter Marguerite to Acadia. On July 17, 1653, Charles de la Tour granted the Barony of Pombcoup to Philippe Mius d'Entremont and Pierre Ferrand, and named them Barons. Pierre Ferrand is believed to have remained at Port Royal. Philippe and Madeleine raised four more children, Jacques, Abraham, Philippe and Madeleine. The Baron was forced from his barony following an attack by a band of Dutchmen in 1675. In 1670, Philippe was appointed the King's Attorney General in Acadia. That is why in 1678, we find him with his family at Port-Royal. In 1688, Philippe Mius d'Entremont retired to Grand-Pré, where he died in 1699. Meanwhile, Jacques, eldest son of Baron Philippe Mius d'Entremont, took over the Barony. Those exiled from Pombcoup (today Pubnico) during the Deportations of 1756 and 1758 returned 11 years later in1767 to resettle the village. Pubnico is thus recognized as being the oldest Acadian village still inhabited by descendants of its founding families.

Philippe Mius d'Entremont of Cherbourg, Normandy, came to Acadia in 1651 as a lieutenant of Charles La Tour. Philippe was 50, married to Madeleine Hélie, and the father of a daughter, when he was named La Tour's adjutant. In 1653, during La Tour's second tenure as governor of the colony, he awarded the trusty D'Entremont the seigneury of Pobomcoup, now Pubnico, near Cap-Sable, where Philippe and Madeleine settled for most of their time in Acadia; Philippe thus became sieur d'Entremont, baron de Pobomcoup, lieutenant-major et commandant des troupes. In 1670, at age 69, upon the restoration of the colony to the French, Philippe became the King's attorney in Acadia. He served in this capacity until 1688, when old age and infirmity (he was 87!) compelled him to relinquish the post. He lived for a time at Minas and died c1700 at age 99, "with all his teeth."

[However, P auline d'Entremont responded saying: "As far as I know there are no proven record regarding t he parents of Phillip with Beatrix. Only speculations." !FAMILY-ROYALTY: Clarence J. d'Entremont, "Communication," to the WALPOLE TIMES; 1925. The Ho use of d'ENTREMONT was one of the most ancient and illustrious houses of Savoy and France, or iginating in the Valley d'Entremont, located in the Savoyan Alps. Rudulf, Lord d'Entremont an d Montbel (born about 990-died 1040) was qualified Lord of the above territories in 1020. Oth er illustrious ancestors include the noble blood of the Pacheocos of Spain, one of the famil y being a commander in the army of Julius Caesar. Also descended from Gaspard de Coligny, Adm iral of France, Gouvenor of Paris, leader of the Huguenot party in the 16th century, who wa s the first victim of the St. Barthelemy massacre on the morning of 24 Aug 1572.

Born in 1601, Philippe arrrived from La Rochelle , France to Acadia in 1651, "en qualité de major-general" of Charles de Latour, who concede d him the seigneurie of Pobomcoup (Pubnico) at Cape Sable, where he settled.

Own entry on p. 1593 (Cap-de-Sable), contradicts, says born in 1609. Named Philippe MIUS , sieur d'ENTREMONT, seigneur de POBOMCOUP. Says originally from Normandy, but did arrive fro m La Rochelle, France. He arrived from France in the company of his wife and the oldest of th eir children. Gives date of seigneurie at Pobomcoup as 1653, where he settled. He was procure r for the King at Port Royal.

!IMMIGRATION: Came to Acadia with Charles de LA TOUR, who was named Governor a second time i n 1651 (first was in 1631), and came back to Acadia from France with Philippe, who was to b e his Major.

!RESIDENCES: He was to be the founder of Pubnico [before the Expulsion, Cape Sable]. "In 1653 , Charles de LA TOUR gave him the choice to settle wherever he would like. He chose what wa s then known to the Indians as Pobomcoup, meaning 'a place where holes have been made throug h the ice to fish.' Charles de LA TOUR erected the place into a barony, the first ever consti tuted in Acadia, and the second in all Canada. He gave to Philippe the title of Baron. The ce nter of the barony was located on the east side of the harbor, not far from its head. It wa s in this same year, 1653, that Philippe came to live here, with his wife, Madeleine HELIE, a nd their daughter Marguerite, who was born in France and was to become the wife of Pierre MEL ANSON [MELANCON], the founder of Grand-Pré."

Baron Philippe Mius d’Entremont was born in Cherbourg, Normandy and came from a longtime noble family, and was brought to Acadia with his family in 1651 by the new governor Charles de Saint-Étienne de la Tour. The governor in July 1653 awarded him one of the few fiefs to constitute territory in North America, the Barony of Poboncoup, extending from Cap Nègre to Cap Fourchu (Yarmouth), and in 1670 appointed him lieutenant-major and commander of the king’s troops, and procureur du roi (crown attorney), which post he retained until 1687.

He was briefly captured in 1654 by Major Robert Sedgwick, during the latter's pass through Acadia, but resurfaced with his family following this English occupation.

d’Entremont was important to the colony's history as an administrator, and because he promoted agriculture on his seigneury. The settlement and d'Entremont's residence were established at Pubnico, the modern spelling of Poboncoup.

Fortunately, we are not at a loss from the moment he arrivedin Acadia. iner for the office on September 23, 1687 31 July 1699 : Deposition of Sr de Tenville (sic for Teinville), taken before Mathieu de Goutin, about the statements of Sr d'Entremont,residing at Les Mines, concerning the boundaries of Acadia 23 Dec 1707: Letterfrom Mathieu de Goutin to the Minister : Sr Philippe Mius d'Entremont, anative of Normandy, who died seven years ago at the age of ninety-nine years andsome months, with all his teeth, had been adjutant under the late M deLaaTour, governor of this country. He had since been obliged to carry out theduties of King's attorney for eighteen years, and had only left off because ofhis great age. ******************************** Translation of Fr. Clarence's Chapter 17 Poulet and Rivedou, early pioneers, continued to work in Acadia up to1671 at least; they were part of The Era of Charles de La Tour, who hadinstalled them at Cape Sable, where they remained for several years afterhis death (he died in 1663). But one must mention also The Era ofPhilippe Mius d'Entremont, who, for 12 years after his arrival in Acadia,was not only the faithful companion of Charles de La Tour, his supportand consolation during his last years under English occupation, but alsohis "right arm" in the course of his administration (1651-1654). However,Philippe Mius d'Entremont also marked the beginning of new leadership fora generation of colonists in Acadia. After he had served for two to threeyears as Major General under Charles de La Tour, and after Acadia hadbeen returnedto France by the Treaty of Breda in 1667, Cape Sable wasgiven a new chief, who would henceforth lead it, even if he was not ableto live there continuously. It was he who opened the era of propercolonization of Cape Sable. Philippe was destined to live in Acadia for almost a half-century afterarriving in 1651, while carrying out his duties as Attorney General forthe government. His life in Nova Scotia is the subject of this chapter.However, before we can address this matter, we must consider the questionof Philippe Mius d'Entremont's origins. ORIGINS: This question has puzzled many historians.Theories abound. They are notalways backed up by historical documents. BIRTH: The first problem we encounter is that of the date of his birth. DATE: On December 23, 1707, Mathieu de Goutin wrote fromPort Royal; "Sieur Philippe Mius d'Entremont, native of Normandy, died 7 years ago atage 99 and several months, having lost none of his faculties not even atooth. He had been a major figure in the administration of Monsieur de LaTour,Governor of this country, and had since held for 18 yrs. The post ofAttorney General of the King, and had only ceased to carry this post in1688 because his assignment terminated." If he died in 1700 at age 99+,his birth date must have been 1601.Rameau de St. Père, historian, late1800's, in transcribing the census of 1686, gave his age then as 85 whichreinforces abirth date of 1601. However, the census of 1686 gives hisage as 77 years, and the census of 1671 recorded his age as 62; togetherthese indicate that his birthdate was 1609, in preference to 1601. Butifone adheres strictly to de Goutin's account, who wrote towards the end of1707 that it had been seven yrs. Since his death at 99 and severalmonths, and he carefully added that "several months" one concludes thatPhilippe died in the spring of 1700 rather than the winter. The census of1671 gives his wife's age as 45, which means she was born in 1626, shewould have been 17 years younger than her husband if his birthdate was1609, but if he was born in 1601 then she was 25 years younger. In 1671he had a daughter two years old, and in 1679 she was listed as 10 yearsold; she must therefore have been born in 1669, when her mother was 43and her father was 60. We believe that Madeleine Hélie died sometimebetween 1671 and 1679. This was the period during which the AttorneyGeneral might have been with the newly appointed Governor, who was thenliving at Pentagoët (present day Maine), although we believe thatPhilippe spent time at Pobomcoup also and later at Port Royal. Regarding the origin of Philippe Mius d'Entremont, de Goutin reports thathe was a native of Normandy, and that more specifically, he was BORNthere. Another historical document which dates from France at the time ofexile, 1763, states that Philippe was from the province of Normandy. Weeven have a third source for this premise, a document that Rameau de St.Père said was found in the Marine Archives about 1858, stating thatPhilippe was from Normandy. In the list of Acadian families made in 1772by Le Moyne, on the occasion of the emigration of the Acadians to PoitouFrance, we find a similar account, probably garnered from the lattersource. Lauvrière (20th century historian) is even more specific; he saysthat.Philippe was "Norman from the Cherbourg region." However, there isno other document, which makes this claim. Although some of the grandsonsand great grandsons of Philippe were expelled from Cherbourg, at time ofexile, we cannot be sure that this was the birthplace of hisgrandparents, although Lauvrière wants to prove this SURNAMES: In searching the records for Philippe's precise place of birth, we mustlook to the middle names of his children for clues. ENTREMONT: When looking for someone named "d'Entremont,"one would expect to be ableto pinpoint the region, and that one would be able to find severalaccounts of the origin of this family, due to an obvious location (i.e.,"between the mountains"). But in acountry as mountainous as France, themost likely country of birth, one can find several places on the map withthe name d'Entremont. We will confine our search to the n ame as found inSavoy and in Normandy. IN SAVOY: In the departments of Savoy and d'Isère, halfway between Chambery andGrande Chartreuse, is the Valley d'Entremont, in which one finds severalvillages bearing the name as well, Saint-Philibert-d'Entremont,Entremont-le-Vieux, and two villages, side by side, separated by a river,each bearing the name Saint-Pierre-d'Entremont. This valley has anextremely rich history, dating back to the Roman conquest. It wasparticularly illustrious at the time of the crusades. The family namedMontbel-d'Entremont occupied this valley from the 11th to the 17thcentury. One of the last representatives from this region wasFrancois-Virgine de Montbel, Count d'Entremont, born on the 14th ofDecember 1601; he was one of the children of Baron Meuillon and Beatricede Coligny, (daughter of Jacqueline d'Entremont) who was born after thedeath of her father, Gaspard de Coligny. H. Leander d'Entremont (late1800's) thought Francois and Philippe was the same man, and CouillardDespres took up his idea. The following are their arguments: 1. Francois was born in 1601, the same year that Philippe was born,according to de Goutin. 2. The spouse of Francois was Madeleine, daughter of d'Élie de Tillet;the wifeof Philippe was also named Madeleine Hélie. 2. François, having risked his life for the crown of France, was forcedto submit to the destruction of his chateaux by order of Richelieu; onecan view the still-extant ruins of the Chateau Montbel and the Chateaud'Entremont on the border of d'Isère. Then Francois disappeared from viewtowards the middle of the 17th Century; and it is possible that heslipped into Paris during The Fronde of 1648-1651. In addition, it was in1650 or 1651, perhaps in Paris, that Charles de La Tour encounteredFrançois/Philippe and brought him to go to Acadia, where naturally thelatter would have wished to hide his identity and change his surname. 4. Finally, Francois/Philippe would have legally changed the nameMeuillon, name of hi s father François, to

He was born in Normandie, then went to LaRochelle, France. Arrived in Acadie in 1651. Sources: Book: "Memoires de la Societe Genealogique Canadienne-Francois (Vol XIX, No 3 & 3)" 1686 Census of Port Royal In France, Philippe Mius d'Entremont and his wife Madeleine Helie had a daughter Marguerite. They came over with Charles de La Tour, governor of Acadia, in 1651. In 1653, La Tour gave to Philippethe Barony of Pobomcoup (now pubnico) and made him a Baron. The family name MIUS was introduced in Acadia in 1651 by Philippe MIUS d'ENTREMONT. It is now written in Southwestern Nova Scotia mostly asMUISE, sometimes MEUSE. In the province of Québec, especially in the Gaspé region, it is written MIOUSSE. This word of four letters, I have found written in 25 different ways. MIUS is a German name derived from the word MAIUS or MAJUS, meaning "greater," just as in latin. As "ai" in German is pronounced "i," MAIUS became MIUS. Nicolas MIUS of Switzerland, although of German origin (1574) could have been the grandfather of Philippe MIUS d'ENTREMONT, whose father (whose name we do not have), would have been adopted by Jacqueline d'ENTREMONT, of Savoie, France, who would have added her name d'ENTREMONT to his name MIUS. Philippe MIUS d'ENTREMONT was born in Normandy, where members of the MIUS family are still to be found near the coast, between Fecamp and St. Velery, southwest of Dieppe. (SOURCE: Rev. Clarence d'Entremont) The "headquarters" of the barony was located just north of Hipson's Brook, known also locally as Larkin's Brook, Trout Brook or Caleb's Brook, near the shore at about 200 meters south of the road commonly called the Nine Mile Road, which leads to Barrington. There, on what the Rev. John Roy Campbell, in his History of the County of Yarmouth calls "a beautiful knoll", was built just a few years before the Expulsion a Chapel, to which was given the name of "Notre-Dame". But long before that time, a manor house was built by Philippe Mius d'Entremont, at a s hort distance form the hill, opposite to the shore, which measured 35 meters and one third in length and close to 13 meters and a half in width. Not too many years ago, one could feel under his feet what remained of its foundation. Over the main entrance was suspended the Coat of Arms of the Mius d'Entremont family, the only Acadian family to ever have given itself such an emblem, a copy of which has been handed down to us up to this day.

Also, S ieur de Pobomcoup According to Placide Gaudet, the Norman Philippe Mius was related by marriage to the Bourbon family and was made Sieur d'Entremont by Louis XIV. But, according to a descendant, H. Leandred'Entremont , the titles of nobility are said to go back to the 11thcentur y in Savoy, and a branch of the Savoy family is thought tohave emigra ted to Normandy during the 16th century. According to tradition he died atPort-Royal, but Leandre d 'Entremont indicates Grand Pre, whered'Entremont may have gone to res ide with his daughterMarie-Marguerite Melanson, as the more likel y place of death. According to Janet Jehn, "it is believed by Genevieve Massignon that he is the same person as Francois VIRGINE, Comte d'ENTREMONT and of Montbell, Marquis de Monteillier, who married Madeleine d uTILLET, daughter of Elie, Seigneur de Nogent, and of Francoise du FAUCOIN. The parents of Francois VIRGINE were married in 1600 (ref.Mas signon, pp. 56-57). The Rev. C. J. d'ENTREMONT, genealogist and researcher o fFrench Canadians and Acadians, states that Philippe MIUS D'ENTREMO NTwas in no way related to the Montbell D'ENTREMONT of Savioe. Thi sfallacy is supposedly fostered by an uncle, Leandre H. D'ENTREMONT, and copied by many authors. Philippe MIUS's patronymic name was notD'ENT REMONT but MIUS, probably of German origin, from the word"majus, maiu s, Mius." The name of D'ENTREMONT according to Rev.d'Entremont, is a n adopted name, probably from the grandfather whowould have been ado pted by Jacquelin D'ENTREMONT, Nicolas MIUS havingdied at the sid e of her husband Gaspard de COLIGNY at St.-Batholemy.Rev. d'Entremo nt has copies of the signatures of Philippe Mius andFrancois Vir gine, which are entirely different fr om each other.

-----------------------------------------
Philippe's patronymic name was not d'Entremont, but Mius, probably of Germanic origin, from the word majus, maius or mius. However, the name of d'Entremont was added to the patronymic surname Mius. The historical connection is as follows, dating back to the French Wars of Religion and the St. Bartholomew's Day massacre in 1572:

Nicolas Mius was killed at the St. Bartholomew's Day Massacre, murdered at the side protecting Gaspard de Coligny. Gaspard's wife, Jacqueline de Montbel d'Entremont (16 February 1541 - 17 December 1599) was a French noblewoman and only daughter and heiress of the Savoyard family of Montbel d'Entremont who has many fiefs in Savoy, Bresse, Bugey and Piedmont.

After Jacqueline's husband's murder, the Countess felt indebted to the children of Nicolas Mius. Jacqueline took under her protection a son of Nicolas. (Unfortunately, there is no record of his first name.) The boy was actually under the care of Jacqueline’s mother, the Countess Beatrice d’Entremont of the House of Montbel d’Entremont of Savoie.

THE NAME OF 'd'ENTREMONT" was THEN added to his surname "MIUS". This was Jacqueline’s wish, since she was the only child who survived her parents' marriage, and had only a daughter from her marriage to the Admiral. The following clause appears in the marriage contract between the Admiral and Jacqueline:

The following clause appears in the marriage contract between the Admiral and Jacqueline:

"The first son originating from the marriage and his descendants, whether male or female, would carry the name and coat of arms of Count D'Entremont" (Jacqueline's father). The name of d'Entremont is an adopted name, probably from the grandfather who would have adopted Jacqueline d'Entremont, Nicolas Mius having died at the side of Jacqueline's husband Gaspard de Coligny at St-Barthelmy."
-------------------------------

Philippe Mius d'Entremont arrived in Acadia with his wife and daughter about 1651, as adjutant to Governor Charles de Saint-Étienne de la Tour and commandant in the colony during the latter's absence. He received, jointly with Pierre Ferrand, by letters patent from La Tour dated 17 Jul 1653, the fief of Pobomcoup, at Cape Sable. in 1670, he became King's attorney.

On 20 Jul 1684, in his capacity as attorney, he signed an order of the King that was registered at Port-Royal. On 5 Oct 1687 he signed an attestation in favor of the accomplishments of Governor d'Aulnay. in 1688 he was replaced as attorney by Pierre Chenet Dubreuil who had received the retainer for the office on 23 Sep 1687.

A deposition by Sr. de Tenville (sic for Tienville), taken before Mathieu de Goutin on 31 Jul 1699, related to statements of Sr. d'Entremont, residing at Les Mines, concerning the boundaries of Acadia.
A letter from Mathieu de Goutin to the Minister on 23 Dec 1707 contained the following: "Sr. Philippe Mius d'Entremont, a native of Normandy, who died seven years ago at the age of ninety-nine years and some months, with all his teeth, had been adjutant under the late M. de la Tour, governor of this country. He had since been obliged to carry out the duties of King's attorney for eighteen years, and had only left off because of his great age."

MIUS (Muis) D’ENTREMONT, PHILIPPE, esquire, first baron of Pobomcoup (Pubnico), near Cap de Sable, lieutenant-major, king’s attorney, settler, the first of the d’Entremonts of Nova Scotia; b. c. 1601 (or 1609) in Normandy (probably at Cherbourg); d. c. 1700 (or 1701).

According to Placide Gaudet, the Norman Philippe Mius was related by marriage to the Bourbon family and was made Sieur d’Entremont by Louis XIV; but according to a descendant, H. Léandre d’Entremont, the titles of nobility are said to go back to the 11th century in Savoy, and a branch of the Savoy family is thought to have emigrated to Normandy during the 16th century. In 1649 the Sieur d’Entremont married Madeleine Hélie (or Élie) Du Tillet (b. 1626). He was then a captain in a regiment. It was in 1650 (Coll. de manuscrits relatifs à la Nouv.-France, II, 329) or 1651 (R. Le Blant) that he, with his wife and a daughter, were brought to Acadia by the new governor Charles de Saint-Étienne de La Tour, a childhood friend, as lieutenant-major and commander of the king’s troops. To reward him for his services, La Tour offered d’Entremont in 1651 or 1653 the letters patent of the Pobomcoup fief, as a barony. The feudal rights conferred upon the baron a territory stretching from Cap Nègre to Cap Fourchu (Yarmouth). The feudal castle was built near the entry to the natural harbour of Pubnico, on the east side.

D’Entremont played an important part in the colony’s history both because of what he did as an administrator and because he was one of the rare Acadian seigneurs to concern himself with cultivation and with clearing land; he attracted to his estate “several indentured workers and a few families from Port-Royal [now Annapolis Royal, N.S.] and this seigneury eventually formed a small centre of population.”

Besides their daughter whom they had brought from France, the d’Entremonts had four children who were born on Acadian soil: two of their sons, Jacques, b. 1659, and Abraham, de Plemazais (or Plemarch), b. 1661 or 1662, married respectively Anne and Marguerite, the daughters of Governor Charles de La Tour and Jeanne Motin; the third son, Philippe, whose life is more difficult to piece together, evidently married a daughter of Jean-Vincent d’Abbadie* de Saint-Castin. As for the daughters, Marie-Marguerite, born in France, married Pierre Melanson, dit La Verdure [see Charles Melanson]; the other, Madeleine, seems to have remained a spinster.
Around 1670, at the time when the Treaty of Breda was being put into force, Governor Andigné de Grandfontaine was establishing himself at Pentagouet on the Penobscot. D’Entremont was named king’s attorney, an office which he held for 18 years despite his advanced age. We know of reports which were made by Mius d’Entremont and Jacques Bourgeois* on the subject of the Acadian frontiers, and sent to the minister, Pontchartrain, by Joseph Robinau de Villebon. Towards the end of his life d’Entremont left his seigneurial estate, bequeathing the title of baron to his eldest son Jacques, and went to settle at Port-Royal with his wife and two of his children. He died at the end of 1700 or the beginning of 1701, a venerable patriarch more than 90 years old.

According to tradition it was at Port-Royal that he died, but Léandre d’Entremont indicates Grand-Pré, where d’Entremont may have gone to reside with his daughter Marie-Marguerite Melanson, as the more likely place of death. Philippe Mius d’Entremont has left a large number of descendants in Acadia; the barony of Pobomcoup remained in the family until the expulsion of the Acadians; and after more than three centuries some hundred families of the same name can still be counted at Pubnico.

Philippe Mius d'Entremont was born in Normandy, France in 1609. In 1651, he met the Governor Charles de la Tour, who brought Philippe, his wife Madeleine and their daughter Marguerite to Acadia. On July 17, 1653, Charles de la Tour granted the Barony of Pombcoup to Philippe Mius d'Entremont and Pierre Ferrand, and named them Barons. Pierre Ferrand is believed to have remained at Port Royal. Philippe and Madeleine raised four more children, Jacques, Abraham, Philippe and Madeleine. The Baron was forced from his barony following an attack by a band of Dutchmen in 1675. In 1670, Philippe was appointed the King's Attorney General in Acadia. That is why in 1678, we find him with his family at Port-Royal. In 1688, Philippe Mius d'Entremont retired to Grand-Pré, where he died in 1699. Meanwhile, Jacques, eldest son of Baron Philippe Mius d'Entremont, took over the Barony. Those exiled from Pombcoup (today Pubnico) during the Deportations of 1756 and 1758 returned 11 years later in1767 to resettle the village. Pubnico is thus recognized as being the oldest Acadian village still inhabited by descendants of its founding families.

Philippe Mius d'Entremont of Cherbourg, Normandy, came to Acadia in 1651 as a lieutenant of Charles La Tour. Philippe was 50, married to Madeleine Hélie, and the father of a daughter, when he was named La Tour's adjutant. In 1653, during La Tour's second tenure as governor of the colony, he awarded the trusty D'Entremont the seigneury of Pobomcoup, now Pubnico, near Cap-Sable, where Philippe and Madeleine settled for most of their time in Acadia; Philippe thus became sieur d'Entremont, baron de Pobomcoup, lieutenant-major et commandant des troupes. In 1670, at age 69, upon the restoration of the colony to the French, Philippe became the King's attorney in Acadia. He served in this capacity until 1688, when old age and infirmity (he was 87!) compelled him to relinquish the post. He lived for a time at Minas and died c1700 at age 99, "with all his teeth."

The Ho use of d'ENTREMONT was one of the most ancient and illustrious houses of Savoy and France, or iginating in the Valley d'Entremont, located in the Savoyan Alps. Rudulf, Lord d'Entremont an d Montbel (born about 990-died 1040) was qualified Lord of the above territories in 1020. Oth er illustrious ancestors include the noble blood of the Pacheocos of Spain, one of the famil y being a commander in the army of Julius Caesar. Also descended from Gaspard de Coligny, Adm iral of France, Gouvenor of Paris, leader of the Huguenot party in the 16th century, who wa s the first victim of the St. Barthelemy massacre on the morning of 24 Aug 1572.

Says originally from Normandy, but did arrive fro m La Rochelle, France. He arrived from France in the company of his wife and the oldest of th eir children.

!IMMIGRATION: Came to Acadia with Charles de LA TOUR, who was named Governor a second time i n 1651 (first was in 1631), and came back to Acadia from France with Philippe, who was to b e his Major.

!RESIDENCES: He was to be the founder of Pubnico [before the Expulsion, Cape Sable]. "In 1653 , Charles de LA TOUR gave him the choice to settle wherever he would like. He chose what wa s then known to the Indians as Pobomcoup, meaning 'a place where holes have been made throug h the ice to fish.' Charles de LA TOUR erected the place into a barony, the first ever consti tuted in Acadia, and the second in all Canada. He gave to Philippe the title of Baron. The ce nter of the barony was located on the east side of the harbor, not far from its head. It wa s in this same year, 1653, that Philippe came to live here, with his wife, Madeleine HELIE, a nd their daughter Marguerite, who was born in France and was to become the wife of Pierre MEL ANSON [MELANCON], the founder of Grand-Pré."

Baron Philippe Mius d’Entremont was born in Cherbourg, Normandy and came from a longtime noble family, and was brought to Acadia with his family in 1651 by the new governor Charles de Saint-Étienne de la Tour. The governor in July 1653 awarded him one of the few fiefs to constitute territory in North America, the Barony of Poboncoup, extending from Cap Nègre to Cap Fourchu (Yarmouth), and in 1670 appointed him lieutenant-major and commander of the king’s troops, and procureur du roi (crown attorney), which post he retained until 1687.

He was briefly captured in 1654 by Major Robert Sedgwick, during the latter's pass through Acadia, but resurfaced with his family following this English occupation.

d’Entremont was important to the colony's history as an administrator, and because he promoted agriculture on his seigneury. The settlement and d'Entremont's residence were established at Pubnico, the modern spelling of Poboncoup.
