Biography: Henriette Pelletret :: BIO: Pierre is the son of Germain Doucet (his mother is unknown at this time). He married Henriette Pelletret in 1660, in Port Royal, Acadie. The are the parents of at least the following:1) Anne (1661-1710) md Jean Hebert2) Toussaint (1663-) md Marie Quessy3) Jean (1665-) md Francoise Blanchard4) Pierre (1667-) md Marguerite Theriault5) Madeleine (1671-) md (a) Rene Bernard and (b) Pierre Doiron6) Louis (1674-) md Marguerite Girouard7) Louise (1675-) md Pierre Chaine8) Rene (1680-) md Marie Brossard9) Marguerite (1681-) md Alexandre Comeau10) Mathieu (1685-) md Anne LaurePlease note that the above is his burial date. Also, the age on his burial record is unclear. The 1698 census record says he was 80 years old. The "L'Acadie de mes Ancestres, Editions du Fleuve" by Yvon Leger, printed in Montreal in 1989, has his birth year as 1621. So he was probably born between 1618-1621. :: https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/128205833/pierre-doucet#add-to-vc
L'unique ancêtre des Doucet, Germain Doucet dit Laverdure naissait vers 1595, en la paroisse de Conflans-en-Brye, en Champagne, région et ancienne province française de l'Est du bassin parisien.
L'aïeul épousa Marie Bourgeois, avant 1621 ; deux enfants virent le jour grâce à cette union, un fils, Pierre en 1621 et une fille, Marguerite-Louise en 1630.
L'ancêtre arrivait en Acadie en 1632, à la Hèvre, avec le commandant Isaac de Razilly. Un document de l'époque, daté du 14 juillet 1640, stipulait qu'il était le bras droit du gouverneur d'Acadie, Charles de Menou d'Aulnay de Charnizay ; on lui attribua le titre de capitaine d'armes de Pentagouet et il participa à la guerre contre les Bostonnais.
En 1654, Port-Royal dut se rendre pour une première fois aux Anglais ; Germain retourna forcément en France, mais son fils Pierre put rester en Acadie. C'est donc lui et son épouse Henriette Peletret qui se chargèrent de perpétuer la lignée des Doucet en Amérique.
Pierre ainsi que les Acadiens décidés à rester et à tenir bon se concentrèrent dans la vallée de la rivière Dauphin ; les soldats d'Albin n'osèrent jamais les relancer jusque là. Ils y construisirent même une église appelée la chapelle de St-Laurent.
Il semblerait que les Doucet battirent des records notariaux, trois d'entre eux furent successivement en poste pendant 113 ans : on retrouve dans les archives du palais de justice de Montréal, l'étude du notaire Théodore Doucet, admis à la profession de 1867 à 1917, il signa 44,583 actes ; son père, Benjamin-Théodore a pratiqué de 1839 à 1867, il signa 28,558 actes ; son grand-père, Nicolas-Benjamin, de 1804 à 1855, signa 30,754 actes, pour un total très appréciable de 103,895 actes.

Returning to Port Royal in1640, he entered into his first contract of marriage, butunfortunately the name of his first wife is unknown, since the recordsat Port Royal for this time period were lost. In 1641, a boy namedGermain Doucet like his grand-father was born of this marriage. Hisfirst his died before 1660 and no other child of this first marriageis known.

Acadia had fallen under English Rule and they fled to Quebec in 1655, where it is presumed she died.
