Robert Cormier "L'espirit de retour (the spirit of return) proved strong for the majority of French migrants, and fewer than one in ten remained in l'Acadie. But those who stayed became the founding generation of the Acadians: ... Robert Cormier and his wife Marie Peraud..." Source: A Great and Noble Scheme by John Mack Faragher, page 45 Robert Cormier, master carpenter, and his wife, Marie Piraude, both living in LaRochelle France, signed a contract in 1644 to go to Cap Breton in New France (Fort St Pierre), with their son Thomas. In 1671, Thomas, age 35 and now also a carpenter, and his wife Madeleine Girouard (B. 1654 to Francois Girouard and Jeanne Aucoin) were on the census of Port Royal. In 1686, Thomas was at Beaubassin, where his four sons eventually located. In 1752, the family were refugees in the isthmus of Acadia at the Nampan River at Weskak, at Beausejour. The following is from http:/www.acadian-home.org/ancestorsacadian.html: On January 8, 1644, Robert Cormier, master ship's carpenter at La Rochelle, his wife Marie Peraud and their son Thomas, signed to sail aboard the ship Le Petit Saint-Pierre, so as to come work at Fort Saint-Pierre, at Cape Breton Island. Thus began the family history of the Cormier ancestors in America. About 1668, Thomas Cormier, about 32 years old, married Marie-Madeleine Girouard, daughter of Francois Girouard and Jeanne Aucoin. Once established at Port-Royal, Thomas and Marie-Madeleine were among the first colonists/settlers at Beaubassin, where their son Pierre was born March 25, 1682. Pierre married Catherine LeBlanc about 1702, the daughter of Jacques LeBlanc and Catherine Hebert. The eldest of their children was named after his father. Pierre married Cecile Thibodeau, daughter of Jean and Marguerite Hebert on July 17, 1730 at Grand-Pre. This last couple are the ancestors of all of the Cormier families of southeastern New Brunswick. |

"Robert Cormier, a master ship's carpenter born probably at La Rochelle, France, in c1610, perhaps the son of Abraham Cormier of Dieppe and Catherine LeMayne, sailed to Acadia in early 1644 aboard Le Petit St.-Pierre, so he was among the earliest settlers in the colony. He reached Fort St.-Pierre on Cape Breton Island in late spring of that year with his wife Marie Péraud and two young sons, Thomas and Jean. Back in La Rochelle, Robert had signed an indenture with associates of Acadian proprietor Nicolas Denys, who owned Fort St.-Pierre. Cormier's indenture with Denys called for three years service, but he stayed on at Fort St.-Pierre, now St. Peter's, Nova Scotia, until 1650, when he took his family to Port-Royal. Sometime in the 1650s, when trouble again shook the colony, Robert, his wife, and their younger son probably returned to La Rochelle. But son Thomas, who turned 18 in 1654, the year the English seized Port-Royal again, remained in the colony despite the troubles erupting all around him. He probably was a ship's carpenter like his father and worked at the trade in the colony's major settlement.
