Misc From Rootsweb.com: " Census: Port Royal, Acadia, 1686 Age 44 Research bulletin 250, the Melanson settlement (1664 1755), Canadian minister of the environment. Charles Melanson, age 14 and his parents arrived in Acadia from England in 1657. His father, Pierre Laverdure, was a Huguenot who had moved to England from France before 1632. His mother, Priscilla, was English, a fact that is well accepted by historians, although generations of die hard descendants, who will not admit an ounce of English blood, continue to insist that she was Scottish." The following is from http:/www.acadian-home.org/ancestorsacadian.html: Pierre Melanson dit Laverdure was a french Protestant who married in exile in England to an english woman named Priscilla. Brought to Acadia with his family by Thomas Temple in the spring of 1657, Pierre, his spouse and their youngest son went to Boston after the Treaty of Breda in 1667. Their two other sons, already married to Acadian women, remained in Acadia. The eldest of these sons was Charles who was born about 1643. He had married Marie Dugas, daughter of Abraham Dugas and Marguerite Doucet. This couple had nine daughters and five sons, among which two, Charles and Jean, became the ancestors of the Melanson families of southeast New Brunswick. |
