GEDCOM Note

Although born in France 1649, the precise location of his birthplace is not known. In all probability, the surname could have originated in the community of Diron, in the Deux-Sevres Department, in the Poitou-Charentes region of France. This community is noted for its castle built during the 16th century. The surname is first mentioned in 1124 in connection with Gauthier d' Orion. Jean Doiron is believed to have arrived in Acadia around 1660 but he appears to have settled originally at Pentagouet (Castine, Maine). He later moved to Port Royal where, according to the 1686 census, he seems to have been newly settled there. After his second marriage, around 1692, he established himself with his family at Pisiguit (Windsor, Nova Scotia) where his presence is recorded in 1693. His family numbered nineteen children. They remained in their community with the exception of Pierre who removed to Beaubassin, and of Noel who went to Cobequid. Jean died around 1735 at the age of 86 and, therefore,did not undergo the ordeal of the Deportation. However, the families of his children and grandchildren were dispersed in America and in Europe. Several were deported to New England, notably to Maryland and South Carolina. Others fled to Ile-Saint-Jean (Prince Edward Is.), to northern New Brunswick and to Quebec. Descendants of his son Charles are found on Prince Edward Island, in Quebec, and in the Caraquet area of New Brunswick.

!INFORMATION: This information was taken from the following enternet site: www.mergetel.com/~labine. THE GUÉDRY, GUIDRY, GIDRY, GEDDY, JEDDRY, GUIDRY dit LA BINE. LA BINE & LA BEAN FAMILY, from Daryl LA BINE, e-mail: labine@iname.com, 80 Windward St., St Catharines, Ontario, L@m4c2, Canada. The family started when Claude GUÉDRY came to Acadia in the mid 1670's. He [Claude GUÉDRY] married Marguerite PETITPAS, daughter of Claude PETITPAS & Catherine BUGARET ABOUT 1681. From this union, the family was established in North America. They [Claude GUÉDRY & Marguerite PETITPAS] had eleven childern whowere born in Acadia, present day Nova Scotia, Canada. From vaious records, we see that the family [GU%C3%89DRY] farmed & fished. As for the location of the family [GU%C3%89DRY], they settled in Port Royal, which was the Acadian captial. The family [GU%C3%89DRY] being Acadian lived in peace till the English conquest of it from France. They [GU%C3%89DRY family] werethere till the Acadian Deportations of 1755. The various family members were deported to different locations. Some members of the [GU%C3%89DRY] family were deprted back to France. From here [France] these fa,milies left & settled in Louisiana & other southern states. Some of the members served as officers & enlisted in the Civil War. The GUIDRY branch of the family is very numerous now in the southern states.The LABINE branch of the family are descendants of Pierre GUIDRY dit LABINE, son of Claude GUÉDRY. During the Acadians Deportations, this family group were sent to Boston, MA.. From here they moved to St. Jacques l'Achigan in Quebec about 1767. With the passage of time, various members moved on. Some of them went to Montreal, Quebec, others to Ontario, while others to the United Atates. One branch of the family moved to Michigan & they spell their surname "LABEAN". The reason they figure that the name changed, was that a census taker came through & spelled it that way & they have not changed it back.The GEDDRY OR JEDDY family are members of the family that still live in what used to be Acadia, present day Nova Scotia & New Brunswick. Many of the family members are also located down into the New England States. As they were still living there the family name transformed into the present day GEDDY or JEDDRY as the English took over after the Acadian Deportations. The reason as to the difference in this branch is that when they are born, the rual doctors call the JEDDRY. On the baptismal certificates, the surnames of GEDDRY was used. Within some families, some of them use the GEDDRY name & others use the JEDDRY name. The GUIDRY members of the family is the smallest branch of the family. I have only a few of them that can connect back top Claude GUEDRY &Marguerite PETITPAS. It is believed that this branch comes about due to the priest spelled it this way at the time of the childern were baptised. This branch is located in the Maritimes (Nova Scotia & New Brunswick) & some are down into the New England States.

GEDCOM Note

Surname also given as "Douaron" Possibly born at Saint-Mar tin deLiile to Re (assertion by Placide Gaudet). Jean Doiron wa s possiblya professional or member of a trade, and not likely a farme r. In thecensus of 1686 he had no land under cultivation, although h e did ownsome animals. It is possible that he was a soldier, explor er ornavigator. After his first wife died and he remarried, abo ut 1691,he moved to the area of the mines (Minas or Les Mines, later t o beknown more commonly as Grand Pre).
