Martin Aucoin was born around 1595-1600, in France.[1] He was not the son of Martin Aucoin and Suzanne Barbot / Barboteau. His parents are unknown.[2]
Martin Aucoin became a joiner, or carpenter.[2][3]
He married twice. His first wife was Barbe Minguet, whom he married in France around 1620. The couple had two daughters,
- Michelle Aucoin, and
- Jeanne Aucoin,
who would eventually migrate to Acadia.[2][3] It has been indicated that their eldest daughter, Michelle, who was born about ten years prior to Jeanne, may have been from a prior relationship. No record of Michelle's baptism has been identified, though Jeanne was baptized at Ste. Marguerite de La Rochelle. A son of Martin named Nicolas Aucoin was buried at Saint-Barthélemy on 30 January 1632, and is believed to be the son of Martin and Barbe, as he died just ten days after Martin married his second wife, Marie Sallé.[3]
Following the death of his first wife, Barbe Minguet, Martin Aucoin married Marie Sallé on 20 January 1632 at the church of Saint-Barthélemy in La Rochelle.[4][5][3] The couple had at least one son, Jean Aucoin, who was baptized on 15 Nov 1632 at Saint-Barthélemy de La Rochelle. Sadly, Jean died when he was only seven months old, and was buried at Saint-Barthélemy on 25 June 1633.[2][3]
It is unknown whether Martin Aucoin ever traveled or migrated to Acadie in Nouvelle-France. His eldest daughter from his first marriage, Michelle Aucoin, had migrated to Acadie before 1642; and his second daughter, Jeanne Aucoin, also migrated to Acadia by the mid-1640s, marrying François Girouard there in about 1647.[2][3]
Martin's second wife, Marie Sallé, did migrate at some point to Acadie, where she remarried, probably sometime after 1651 to Jean Claude. She was recorded in the 1671 census, but by that time she was again a widow.[2][3]
Since no record of death has been identified for Martin Aucoin, and the date of Marie Sallé's remarriage in Acadie is unknown (although believed to be after 1651), it is unknown when and where Martin died, but is only certain to have been some years prior to 1671, by which time his wife's second husband had also died.[2][3]
Research Notes
Parents of Martin Aucoin are unknown.
Note by genealogist Stephen A. White in corrections for DGFA, p. 41, citing an article by J. Nerrou, «Recherches sur la famille Aucoin: Du nouveau», p. 29r, 29v, dans F.-R. Perron, Acadie: Recherche des promoteurs et recruteurs en France, suite no 7, Paris, 2000.:
(Translation) Mr. Nerrou proposes another generation of ancestors of Aucoin by identifying the carpenter from La Rochelle with the son of Martin Aucoin and Susanne Baboteau who was baptized near La Rochelle on the 26th April 1595. Unfortunately, the basis for this conclusion is not explained in his article.
Note by genealogist Marcel Walter Landry:
(Translation) Some researchers have since proposed that Martin Aucoin (the elder) was the son of Martin and Susanne Barboteau, born in 1595. Except that this is not the Aucoin family, but the Angevin family (or Langevin), from the parish of Cougne. We do not explain what makes such a connection possible, nor how these Angevins would have become Aucoins. We must therefore avoid adding this additional generation for lack of evidence, even if these names are now circulating on the internet.
Note by genealogist Karen Theriot Reader:
There are many who claim that this Martin AUCOIN was baptized on 26 Apr 1695 at Laleu, Charente Maritime, France (near La Rochelle), son of Martin AUCOIN & Susanne BARBOTEAU. The record in Latin is found here (right page last entry): http://www.archinoe.net/v2/ark:/18812/6141b016b7722fcdf2c62fccb5bb7af1 However, others assert that that was Martin Angevin, from another family altogether.
Children of Martin Aucoin. Stephen White has made substantial corrections to his 1999 genealogy of the two Aucoin families (see corrections linked to his ”Dictionnaire Généalogique des Familles Acadiennes” (DGFA)). Based on these corrections, Martin Aucoin and his wife, Barbe Minguet, are the parents of sisters Michelle and Jeanne Aucoin, who used to be recorded separately. Martin and his second wife, Marie Sallé, no longer have a son listed as Martin, who married Marie Gaudet.[3]
In 2003 revisions to the DGFA, it has been indicated that the family's eldest daughter, Michelle Aucoin, who was born about ten years prior to Jeanne, may have been from a prior relationship (Michelle (peut-être issue d'une alliance antérieure) n v 1621).[3]
A Francois is listed in some family trees as a child of Martin Aucoin and Barbe Minguet, and the father of Martin Aucoin who married Marie Gaudet. See further details of this debate under his profile.

Translation of third note: Arnaud Gyon's signature in Martin Aucoin's marriage certificate with Marie Sallé is the same as that affixed on the baptismal certificate of Jeanne Aucoin, daughter of Martin Aucoin and Barbe Minguet. This assures us that it is the same Martin Aucoin in both acts, even if there is no mention of widowhood in his marriage certificate with Marie Sallé.

Earlier comments I did see had to do with incorrect parents and that has been corrected in the profile. That type of confusion is a reason to leave him Project Protected so incorrect or disputed parents can't come back without review. For any Project Protected profile, there must be a project associated with it, so removing the Project means we need to remove the protection and that opens him up to the undocumented parents problem again. We have other French parents that are included in the project for the same reasons.
Best wishes, cousin! Cindy
Do we have proof that links the Martin baptized in 1595 with the one married to Barbe Minguet and Marie Sallé, to address this critique?
Thank you! Cindy
