Misc: living during 1714 census. Notes for Jacques Jacob Bourgeois: Acadian Descendants, Vol I, by Janet Jehn Arrived in Port Royal in about 1640. Master Surgeon to Sieur d'Aulnay. In about 1672 he began an agricultural development which became Beaubassin and set up a flour mill there. Birth: "Historical Genealogy of a Branch of the COMEAU family" by Rev. James Comeau, 1960 Founder of Beaubassin.Before leaving France, Bourgeios had entered the medical profession. He came to Port-Royal in 1642 with 18 families that Gov. Menou d'Aulnay brought with him on one of his oyages, Bourgeois' father, also names Jacques, was an army officer at Port-Royal and the brother-in-law of Germain DOUCET, Sieur de La Verdure, Aulnay's assistant.... While Jacques Senior was returned to France, his son remained in Acadia where he became the ancestor of a large number of descendants, In 1643 he had married Jeanne, Guillaume Trahan's daughter, who was born in France in 1631; they has ten children; seven girls and three boys. At Port-Royal, Jacques became a farmer and shipbuilder. He traded with the Bostonians, particularly with John NELSON and William PHIPS; he learned their language, and was the interpreter for the French in their dealings with the English. In 1672 he sold part of his holdingsd at Port-Royal in order to settle, with his sons Charles and Germain, and twl of his sons-in-law, in the Chigneto Basin, thus becoming the first promoter of settlement in this region; he built a flour mill and a saw mill there. A few years later, in 1676, the region was made into a Seigneury, the holder ofwhich was Michel LENEUF de la Valliere (the elder), a nobleman born at Trois-Rivieres; the new fief, 100 square leagues in extent, was names Beaubassin. As LaValliere brought in settlers and indentured employees from Canada, two distinct establishments adjoined each other at Beaubassin; but a clause in the title to the land grant protected the interests of Jacques BOURGEOIS and the other Acadian settlers established on the domain; it was not long before the two elements of the population merged into one.... The distinguished colonist had settled at Port-Royal again before 1699; he died there,an octogenarian, in 1701. The family name was perpetuated by two of his three sons: Charles, born in 1646, who married Anne Dugas in 1668; and Germain, born about 1650, who married his first wife, Marguerite Belliveau, in 1673 and his second wife, Madeleine Dugas, in 1682; the third son, Guillaume, left only a daughter. Jacques was the first surgeon in N.S.

Note

DNA. Jeanne's mother was Françoise Corbineau. The Mothers of Acadia Maternal DNA project is conducting ongoing research to verify their origins. In 2010, Stephen White reported Françoise Corbineau had an H1 haplogroup. I don't know the details re how many of her descendants were tested to support this report. Leblanc Constantino reported one tree here. Ongoing test results are also reported here. As of May 2014, 4 descendants have reported an H haplogroup, indicating European origins. A link to the family tree of a WikTree members mtDNA results is providedon the upper right corner of this profile.
