PLEASE BE AWARE
:Pierre 'the younger' Gaudet and Pierre 'the elder' Gaudet are both listed on the 1671 Census. They were brothers and both married women named Blanchard. Each had a son named Jean or Jean Baptiste. Anne born about 1645 married the elder Pierre and Marie born about 1656, married the younger Pierre.
:There is confusion about which Pierre Gaudet died in 1741. There is a record which states a Pierre Gaudet died on 8Dec. 1741, age 89 which would give a birth year of about 1652, consistent with the older brother, however their birth dates are only about 2 years apart and age at death in a record is very unreliable. Both brothers had the same death date.

He built his home on the hill beside the Tintamarre (today Tantramar) river. Along with Pierre Thibodeau, who founded the nearby Chepoudy settlement, Pierre l'aîné defied the claim of the seigneur of Chignecto, Michel Le Neuf de la Valliere et de Beaubassin, that the Chepoudy and Petitcoudiac settlements were part of his seigneury. Gaudet and Thibodeau won their case before the colonial council at Port-Royal. Their defiance of a powerful Acadian seigneur helped weaken the hold of the local nobility on these sturdy Acadian habitants.
