In this two volume set, Researcher Shirley Thibodeaux LeBlanc was able to obtain good documentation about the original Pierre as one of his daughters married the Secretary of the Governor of Acadia. Hundreds of ancestors are listed as having been born in Port Royal, Acadia (Canada) but then moved to & were thus buried in St. Martinville, Louisiana. Nine hundred pages of accurate genealogical records also includes 200 Cajun family photos. This body of work includes an astonishing 4,230 source notes for future researchers. The 18,000 name detailed index also encounters, by way of marriage, most every other Family Name of French Canadian descent throughout the Louisiana settlements.
“Pierre Thibodeau arrived at Port Royal, Acadia in 1654, under contract for three years at a wage of 100 livres a year. By 1671 the census listed him as a miller who owned a grist mill and seven arpents of cleared land...”
“De Goutin, administering the King’s duties for New France in 1689, was accused of seeking to incite the garrison, the inhabitants, the Indians to disobedience and to the contempt of that of the clergy as well...”
“This later Pierre Thibodeau fought (in Canada) with the British, French and Indian forces in the War of 1812 against the Americans. He met a young Moravian woman, thus starting the Ontario clan of the Thibaudeaux’s. He had lost sight in one eye from his battles, so we fondly referred to him as “One-eyed Pierre.”
