    ---

• Biography: Pierre settled at Saint-Joseph of Riviere-aux-Canards, at Grand Pre'. At the age of 16 in 1671, he was still living with his parents. Pierre married around 1685 [sic] to Ce'cile LANDRY, daughter of Rene' & Marie BERNARD; they had no children. At the age of 23, Pierre was married and living with his wife, Cecile in Port Royal.

In 1682 Pierre TERRIOT, of Port-Royal, founded a colony on the Saint-Antoine River not far from Pierre MELANSON's settlement at Grand-Pre', when he was age 26. Being a popular and generous man he supplied wheat without interest, and housed many while their homes were being built. He was followed by many others to the new community. In other biographies, "The chief founder of Minas was a rich inhabitant of Port Royal, Pierre Terriau, who probably settled on Habitant River."

His nephew Mathieu de GOUTIN said of him: "Pierre Theriot['s] wife embraces two thirds of the colony." In a letter dated 9 Sep 1694 he also said that TERRIOT "is the most notable person at Les Mines, of which he is so to speak the founder, for he has assisted almost all those who have come to establish themselves there, and his house is the refuge of all widows and orphans and people in need." Having no children of his own, four or five of his nephews lived with him "until such time as their own dwelling was habitable."

Next to Pierre MELANCON, age 54 with 50 arpents, this was the largest holding. Martin AUCOIN, age 35, was next with 15 arpents. There were only 10 households, with 57 people, in the community in 1686.

In 1703, he is listed as capable of bearing arms.

In documents from 1711-1712, Pierre TERRIOT is listed in requests for payment of sums due the inhabitants of Acadia for goods delivered to various warring parties against the British which were led by Baron de St. CASTIN and de CLINGANCOURT during the war of 1711-1712. He claimed 28 pounds for food and other items; he and Germain TERRIOT [not his brother, who had already died, but the nephew born in 1662?] claimed 114 pounds for a canoe and supplies.

In 1714, he is listed as living alone with his wife. He was buried at Saint-Charles-des-Mines on 22 Mar 1725.

Co Founder Of Grand Pre

Has Jacques Martin With Him As Servant In 1686

As a youngster, PIERRE (himself the youngest son of Jehan), was a very bright, intelligent and active person. He had a very outgoing and pleasant personality and was very generous. Historians record that PIERRE was often responsible for organizing family and friends, meetings/gatherings where he encouraged an exchange of plans and ideas.

The Port Royal Acadian Census of 1678-79 lists PIERRE Terriot as owning 4 acres of land and 4 cattles. In about 1680, when he was but 25 years old, he gathered many of the young Acadians living in Port Royal, and began to "plant the seed" of moving to a new location, to form a new Acadian Settlement.

Shortly after his marriage to Marie-Cecile Landry (in 1684), he provided "an interest-free loan of wheat, corn and even some farm animals" to many of his Acadian friends and they moved with him to "undes plus beau ruisseaux du Bassin-des-Mines...la riviere St. Antoine ". And so in 1686, this new Acadian Colony consisted of some 35 persons, from 7 different families, including PIERRE Terriot, Claude and Antoine Landry (P IERRE'S brothers-in-law), Rene Leblanc (one of PIERRE'S friend since childhood), Etienne Hebert, Claude Boudrot and one unnamed "hired-hand". Shortly thereafter, Jean Terriot (PIERRE'S nephew), Martin Aucoin, Philippe Pinet(et) and Francois Parierre joined the new Settlement. The following year (in 1687) the parents of these first settlers, moved from Port-Royal to this new area. This included four Terriots, two Landry, one Boudrot, four Hebert and two Leblanc. And by 1693, the new Acadian Settlement consisted of some 210 souls! Th us was formed the Acadian Settlement of St. Joseph-de-la-riviere-aux-Canards, at Grand-Pre.

PIERRE and Marie-Cecile, had no children. The 1686 Acadian cen sus incorrectly listed PIERRE as "Philippe" and included "Jacques Martin" as a servant.

1686 Census - Baie-des-Mines, Acadia
Philippe Terriot 32, Cecile Landry 22; Jacques MARTIN servant (no age reported) 1 gun 16 arpents, 9 cattle , 8 hogs.

GEDCOM Note

A co-founder, with Pierre Melanson, of the village of Grande-Pre'. He was educated in parish schools in Port-Royal and his signature is found in parish records. A nephew by marriage, claimed Terriot to be "the most notable person in Les Mines...for he assisted almost all who have come to establish themselves there, and his house is the refuge of all widows and orphans and people in need." He had no living issue when he died and assisted his wife's family in their younger ives.

Pierre TERRIOT (he sig ned thus), one of the founders of LesMines (Grand Pré, Nov a Scotia), was last-born in 1654 or 1655 of the seven child ren of Jehan & Perrine RUAU (or BAU), and husband of Cécil e LANDRY, daughter of Rene' & Marie BERNARD. His nephew Mat hieu de GOUTIN said of him: "Pierre Theriot['s] wife embrac es two thirds ofthe colony." In a letter dated 9 Sep 169 4 he also said that TERRIOT "is the most notable person a t Les Mines, of which he is so to speak the founder, for h e has assisted almost all those who have come to establis h themselves there, and his house is the refuge of all wido ws and orphans and people in need." Having no children of h is own, four or five of his nephews lived with him "until s uch time as their own dwelling was habitable." (Reference : AN, Col., B, 17, f.23v; C11D, 2, F.233.)
::: ::: !CHARACTER: From www.Acadian-home.org. Article by Sally Ros s & Susan Surette-Draper, "St-Charles-des-Mines Cemetery i n Grand-Pré." The Thériot family... "played an important ro le in the Minas region. Pierre Thériot and his wife Cécil e Landry had the reputation of being very welcoming. Havin g no children of their own, they offered lodging and suppor t to the young men who came to the Grand-Pré area to develo p their lands and build their homes before relocating thei r families. Ultimately, this practice led to a certain amou nt of gossip, which eventually involved the parish priest , the governor of the colony, and even the bishop in Quebec ! "
