Michelle Aucoin was born about 1620 in Cougnes, La Rochelle, Aunis, Kingdom of France. She died after 1666 in Port-Royal, Acadie, Canada. Died after birth of last son, Francois, 1666

Stephen White, p. 41, ne semble pas associer Marie Sallé avec Jeanne et Michelle.

Michelle Aucoin was born about 1611, in La Rochelle, France, the child of Martin and Barbe. She had two sons and one daughter with Michel Boudrot between 1646 and 1663. She died on December 17, 1706, in Nova Scotia, Canada, at the impressive age of 95.

• The Acadian Boudreau Family

The Boudreau family in North America descends from early Acadians Michel Boudrot and his wife, Michelle Aucoin. Michel Boudrot, b. c. 1601, perhaps of the parish of Notre-Dame-de-Cougnes, near La Rochelle, France, was living in Port-Royal by September 1639 when, as one of the settlement’s two syndics (community representatives), he witnessed the baptism of Governor d’Aulnay’s eldest daughter, Marie. Within a year or two he was married to Michelle Aucoin, b. near La Rochelle c. 1618, daughter of Martin and Barbé (Minguet) Aucoin. She and her orphaned siblings had arrived in Port-Royal c. 1640 with their widowed step-mother, Marie Sallé.

The Boudreau family apparently thrived despite the political turmoil that periodically engulfed the tiny community. In 1654, the settlement was captured by a combined force of New Englanders and English Roundheads under Robert Sedgewick. It would remain under British control until 1670. During this period, the French inhabitants (the Boudreaus among them) were allowed to retain their property and were guaranteed religious freedom. The return of the area to French jurisdiction marked a period of expansion for the growing settlement. From Port-Royal, second generation Acadians, including several of the Boudreau children, became the founders of Grand-Pré, Beaubassin, Pisiquid, Cobequid and other villages on the tidal marshes of the Bay of Fundy. Michel Boudrot and his wife remained at Port-Royal, where in 1686, at 85 years of age and deaf, he was listed as the lieutenant general of justice (magistrate). He was recommended for replacement shortly afterwards, and he died at Port-Royal between 20 Aug. 1688 (when he was replaced) and the taking of the 1693 census, in which his wife Michelle is listed as a widow. She died 17 Dec. 1706.

Early Acadie was notable for its rapid population growth, facilitated largely by a very low infant mortality rate, and the Boudrots were typical of Acadian families of the time. The household of Michel Boudrot and Michelle Aucoin included eleven children who grew to adulthood and married. Their children:

1. Françoise Boudreau, b. Port-Royal 1642, m. Port-Royal 1663 Étienne Robichaud, b.1640.

2. Jeanne Boudreau, b. Port-Royal 1645, d. Port-Royal 8 May 1710, m. Port-Royal 1666 Bonaventure Theriault, b. Port-Royal 1641 son of Jean and Perrine (Reau) Theriault, d. Grand-Pré 3 May 1731.

7. Abraham Boudreau, b. Port-Royal 1657, d. 1701, m. Port-Royal 1686 Cecile Melançon, b. Port-Royal May 1671 daughter of Charles and Marie (Dugas)Melançon, d. Ile St. Jean (now Prince Edward Island) Apr. 1735.

Michelle Aucoin is the ancestral matriarch of the Acadian Boudrot family.

Michelle was born in France around 1621. Originally, Stephen White did not specify Michelle's parents. Since then, he has updated his research, and finds that she was the child of Martin Aucoin and Barbe Minguet. But White also suggests a note of caution in the corrections, by saying "Michelle (possibly from a previous alliance) nv 1621" (GOOGLE TRANSLATION: Michelle (possibly from a previous alliance) nv 1621).

Around 1641, Michelle married Michel Boudrot. According to depositions of her descendants, Michelle came to Acadia with her husband Michel. The actual date and place of the marriage is uncertain as Michel is thought to have been in Acadie in 1639, so they would have been married before that if they were married in France and came together. Between about 1642 and 1666, she gave birth to 11 children in Acadie: Françoise, Jeanne, Charles, Marguerite, Marie, Jean, Abraham, Michel, Olivier, Claude and François.

In 1671 they were counted on the Acadian Census at Port-Royal: Michel BOUDROT, 71, wife Michelle AUCOIN 53; Children (3 married): Francoise 29, Jeanne 25, Marguerite 20; (these not married): Charles 22, Marie 18, Jehan 16, Abraham 14, Michel 12, Olivier 10, Claude 8, Francois 5; cattle 5, sheep 12.

In 1678 they were counted on the Acadian Census at Port-Royal: Michel Broudrot and Michelle Aucoin; 12 acres; 10 cattle; 3 guns; 5 boys: 22, 1656; 20, 1658; 18, 1660; 16, 1662; 12, 1666. Michel Boudrot at the brook of brother Joseph Tirat at the southeast at Maitre Abraham to the River Au Seigneur 2 Leagues.

In 1686 they were rather elderly, Michel a Lieutenant General of Port Royal, age 85, and Michelle age 65. Their land and animal holdings had significantly increased in the past 8 years.

Some time after this and before 1693, Michel died and Michelle had to carry on. In 1693 she still had their property (actually a little more) and son Francois and his wife Marguerite were living with her, presumably working the farm.

Michele Aucoin, wife of Michel Boudrot, died on December 17, 1706, aged more than 95 years at Port-Royal (later renamed Annapolis Royal, Nova Scotia) and was buried there the next day.

DNA . The Mothers of Acadia Maternal DNA project conducts ongoing research to verify their origins. In 2010, Stephen White reported that Michelle Aucoin had a Haplogroup H. Ongoing tests results also report H haplogroup, indicating European origins. Her sister Jeanne also has H Haplogroup.

In 1686 they were rather elderly, Michel a Lieutenant General of Port Royal, age 85, and Michelle age 65. Their land and animal holdings had significantly increased in the past 8 years.

Some time after this and before 1693, Michel died and Michelle had to carry on. In 1693 she still had their property (actually a little more) and son Francois and his wife Marguerite were living with her, presumably working the farm.

Michele Aucoin, wife of Michel Boudrot, died on December 17, 1706, aged more than 95 years at Port-Royal (later renamed Annapolis Royal, Nova Scotia) and was buried there the next day.

DNA . The Mothers of Acadia Maternal DNA project conducts ongoing research to verify their origins. In 2010, Stephen White reported that Michelle Aucoin had a Haplogroup H. Ongoing tests results also report H haplogroup, indicating European origins. Her sister Jeanne also has H Haplogroup.

Stephen A. White writes: (Stephen A. White, historian and genealogist with the Centre d'etudes Acadiennes at the University of Moncton in Moncton, New Brunswick.) The marriage of Martin Aucoin and Marie Salle took place on 20 Jan. 1632 at St. Barthelemy de La Rochelle in France. One child was born to this couple, one Jean, baptized at the same place 15 Nov. 1632, and lists Martin Aucoin as probably the son of this couple, based on the notes of Pere Gallant(from and article on the Aucoin family in the Cahiers de la Societe Historique Acadienne, vol IV, 1972.) Michelle Aucoin and Jeanne Aucoin, married to Michel Boudrot and Francois Giruard respectively, can be shown to be sisters, from dispensations, but they cannot be shown to be related to Martin Aucoin.
