Biographie Trahan Guillaume

L'ANCÊTRE GUILLAUME TRAHAN EN ACADIE.

Guillaume Trahan, fils de Nicolas Trahan et de Renée Desloges, naquit à Bourgueil vers 1606. Le 17 juillet 1627, dans l'église Saint-Etienne de Chinon, il épouse Françoise Corbineau. Chinon est située à 15 km environ au sud-est de Bourgueil, à 50 km au sud-ouest de Tours.

En 1636, il émigre en Acadie. Sur le rôle d'embarquement du Saint-Jean, parmi les " paysans d'Anjou " qui vont " travailler en la Nouvelle-France ", on lit cette mention: "Guillaume Trahan, mareschal de tranchant, avec sa femme et deux enfants et un valet, aussi de Bourgueil. " Le maréchal de tranchant était un artisan qui fabriquait toutes sortes d'outils tranchants: haches, couteaux, faux, serpettes, faucilles, ciseaux de menuisier, etc., et même des ustensiles de table, comme couteaux, fourchettes, cuillères, etc.

Il fut l'un des citoyens les mieux notés de Port-Royal. En 1640 d'Aulnay le chargeait, conjointement avec Germain Doucet dit La Verdure et Isaac Pessely, d'informer contre Charles de La Tour et, le 16 août 1654, à titre de syndic des habitants, il signait l'acte de capitulation de Port-Royal.

Vers 1665 il épouse Magdeleine Brun, fille de Vincent Brun et de Renée Brault.

L'origine de Guillaume Trahan (Bourgueil) a été publiée en 1991 - Messager de l'Atlantique-Jean-Marie Germe ainsi que la date de son mariage avec Françoise Corbineau (le 13 juillet 1627 à Chinon) acte de mariage découvert par Jean-Marie Germe ainsi que le Rôle du Saint-François (Stephen White cite ces parutions en 2005 ci-dessous).

Une plaque commémorative fût apposée dans la région en 1996 pour ces 2 pionniers ainsi que Pierre Martin et Catherine Vigneau ( je peux vous envoyer une photo)

16 Aug 1654: in his capacity as syndic of the inhabitants, Guillaume Trahan signed the capitulation of Port-Royal.

2 Dec 1705: Expropriation of a lot, adjoining the side of the old fort, and belonging to Guillaume Trahan, for the extension of the fort at Port-Royal. As Guillaume Trahan had been dead for over twenty years, one must suppose that his heirs were the actual owners of this land in 1705.

Guillaume Trahan, fils de Nicolas Trahan et de Renée Desloges, naquit à Bourgueil vers 1606. Le 17 juillet 1627, dans l'église Saint-Etienne de Chinon, il épouse Françoise Corbineau. Chinon est situéeà 15 km environ au sud-est de Bourgueil, à 50 km au sud-ouest de Tours.

En 1636, il émigre en Acadie. Sur le rôle d'embarquement du Saint-Jean, parmi les " paysans d'Anjou " qui vont " travailler en la Nouvelle-France ", on lit cette mention: "Guillaume Trahan, mareschal de tranchant, avec sa femme et deux enfants et un valet, aussi de Bourgueil. " Le maréchal de tranchant était un artisan qui fabriquait toutes sortes d'outils tranchants: haches, couteaux, faux, serpettes, faucilles, ciseaux de menuisier, etc., et même des ustensiles de table, comme couteaux, fourchettes, cuillères, etc.

Il fut l'un des citoyens les mieux notés de Port-Royal. En 1640 d'Aulnay le chargeait, conjointement avec Germain Doucet dit La Verdure et Isaac Pessely, d'informer contre Charles de La Tour et, le 16août 1654, à titre de syndic des habitants, il signait l'acte de capitulation de Port-Royal.
