The Unbelievable Odyssey of the Barriaults

(by James Carten, 1999, from the Acadian-Cajun Archives)

Edited for this site by A. Côté 3 April 2008

The name Barriault has given place, since the arrival of the ancestor, Nicolas, in 1671, to many different [ortho]graphies: Barillaud, Barrios, Barillot, Bariault, Barriaux, Barilleaux, and even Bériau. All these variants return back to one forefather, Nicolas Barillot, born in France ca.1642 and married to Martine Hébert, daughter of Étienne Hébert and Marie Gaudet. Firstly settled in Port-Royal, he becomes, a few years later, one of the pioneers of Pisiguit, today Windsor, N.S.

At the 1714 census, Nicolas Barillot is said to be a farmer and a landclearer, in the new parish of l'Assomption, at Pisiguit. A year before, the Treaty of Utrecht gave the Acadian Peninsula, as well as Newfoundland and the Hudson's Bay to England.[see note] The fact that Port-Royal, renamed Annapolis-Royal, became the capital of English Acadia, and since which is found strong English insurgence, surely incited Nicolas to settle further to the east, next to Pisiguit.

Five years later, 1719, begins the construction of the fortress Louisbourg, at Cape Breton. Already many Acadian families are leaving to settle at the Ile-St. Jean (Prince Edward Island) and at Cape Breton, where they are assured to be in the presence of French troops. Nicolas, though, prefers to remain at Pisiguit, where he became, forcebly, a subject of the new King of England, Georges I, who had just been crowned.

At the 1714 census, Nicolas Barillot has already ten children, of which four are sons; Antoine, b. 1697, Nicolas, b. 1703, Jacques, b. 1705, and Pierre, b. 1707. He had another son, Jean, the older, b. ca. 1685, but seems to be deceased at the moment of the census. He also had five daughters; Françoise, b. 1683, Marie, b. 1684, Catherine, b. 1687, Marguerite, b. 1689, and Madeleine, b. 1696. The descendants of his sons Antoine and Nicolas will settle in the region of St. Charles-de-Bellechasse, after the deportation. Those of Pierre will be principally in the Baie des Chaleurs in New Brunswick.

Born at Pisiguit in 1707, Pierre Barillot, son of the forefather Nicolas, married in 1729 Véronique Girouard, daughter of Pierre Girouard and Marie Doiron, Véronique, who was born at St. Charles-des-Mines, was 17. Pierre was 22. They had baptized eight children at the church of l'Assomption-de-Pisiguit. Then, in 1750, doubting very much the eminent attack of the English, Pierre Barillot judged it prudent to transport his family to the Ile-St. Jean, remaining under the French administration. The family set up at the Rivière-du-Moulin-à-Scie where two other children were born.

In August 1755 the storm broke loose in all of Nova Scotia and New Brunswick. The Acadians are arrested, imprisoned, dispossessed then deported into the ports of New England: Boston, New London, New York, Philadelphia. They arrive by flows, sick and extenuated, to Maryland, to the Carolinas, Virginia and Georgia. The Iles Royale and St. Jean remained French, but in 1758, a second wave of deportation arose. The inhabitants are loaded aboard ships bound for England, where the prisons of Liverpool, London and Southampton awaited them. For Pierre Barillot and his wife Véronique, it turned out to be a tragic voyage, one that they would not see the end [of]. Both died while crossing the Atlantic.

Their son, Olivier Barillot, then 19, will be imprisoned in England. After the Treaty of Paris in 1763, he returne[d] to France. His brother, Jean-Baptiste, forefather of the Barilleaux of Louisiana, took refuge in Cherbourg, then at St. Malo, along with his sisters Agathe, Thérèse and Euphrosine. Olivier hurried to rejoin them. They settled in the parish of Pleudihan, in Brittany, where they were still yet in 1772. Their uncle, Nicolas Barillot, brother of Pierre, had just died before the 1755 Deportation, at Port-Toulouse, Ile Madame, Cap-Breton. Their uncle Antoine Barillot took refuge in Québec. He was at St. Antoine-de-Bellechasse, in 1758. Finally their uncle Jacques Barillot had less luck. He was deported to England in 1758. He was at La Rochelle, in France, in 1761/62. A few years later, we will find him in French Guyana in South America.

But, getting back to Olivier Barillot, son of Pierre, refugee at Pleudihan, Brittany, with his brother, Jean-Baptiste and his sisters. It is in the Breton village that he will marry, ca. 1763, an unfortunate companion of exile, Anastasie Boudrot, daughter of Jean Boudrot and of Agathe Thibodeau. Two years later, after the birth of a daughter, Anne-Marie, in 1765, Anastasie Boudrot will pass away. Three years later, the (10th of May 1768) 10-05-1768, this time at St. Servan-de-St. Malo, Olivier Barillot marries, a second time, another exiled Acadian, Élisabeth Landry, daughter of Pierre Landry and of Anne Thériot, of the Rivière-aux-Canards. A first child, Charles-Olivier Barillot, will be born to this second union, the (22nd of March 1771) 22-03-1771. Another son, Jean-Baptiste, will see the light of day two years later. In the spring of 1774, Olivier, his wife and their three children decide to re-locate. They are among thirty Acadians who were aboard two goëlettes (schooners) of Charles Robin and his brothers from Jersey, who recruited fishermen and workers for their fishing settlements and commerce in Gaspé.

NOTE

The Treaty of Utretcht did and could not "give" any land to England, since the French never "owned" the land, nor did the Original people ever cede, convey, or sell any of it to the French. [return to paragraph]

Origin
Nicolas Barrieau (I) came from France, along with his wife Martine Hébert, according to his grandsons Alexis and Jean Doiron (Doc. inéd., Vol. III, p. 16). While this appears to be true with respect to Nicolas Barrieau, it is evidently inaccurate regarding his wife Martine Hébert, because nine other depositions (ibid., Vol. II, p. 182; Vol. III, pp. 8, 11, 30, 45, 90, 92-93, 93-94, and 110-111) all agree that it was Martine's parents, Étienne Hébert and Marie Gaudet, who had immigrated to Acadia from France.White
