In 1693, at Port Royal, Jean BABINEAU, aged 33, was living with his wife, Marie [sic] BOUDROT, aged 44, widow of Francois BOURG, and their daughter, Marie, aged 1. Also living with him was his son-in-law, Marie [sic] BOUDROT's son, Pierre BOURG, aged 10. The family owned 1 gun and was living on 25 arpents of cultivable land with 20 cattle, 15 sheep, and 20 pigs.^[2]Living next door to him were his son-in-law, Alexandre BOURG, aged 22, and his daughter-in-law, Anne BOURG, aged 9.

Research Notes

Note by Stephen White DGFA p. 66 : "Nicolas est recensé à Pentagouët en 1693. Il est plausible qu'il soit venu au Canada en tant que militaire, d'où son sobriquet Deslauriers. Il exerce diverses occupations dont celles de traitant de fourrures et de pêcheur (SGCF vol XVIII, p 234, 238 n 12). Il habite Pentagouët jusqu'en 1701; le 18 juillet de la même année il achète à Martin Bourg une habitation le long de la rivière Dauphin, à Port-Royal (ANF, Col. G3, 2040, Loppinot). Un Jean Babinot demeure également à Port-Royal à la même époque; il sert de témoin à Nicolas lors de l'achat de son habitation à Port-Royal; il agit comme parrain au baptême de Marie, fille de Nicolas. D'après Placide Gaudet, Nicolas et Jean étaient frères (Généalogies acadiennes, p. 225, 226). Notons que nous ne connaissons aucun mariage entre les petits-enfants ou les arrière-petits-enfants de Jean Babineau et les descendants de Nicolas Babineau. Il n'y a donc aucune dispense de parenté susceptible de nous fournir la preuve de cette affirmation."

(Translation : Nicolas was enumerated in Pentagouët in 1693. (...) A Jean Babinot also lived in Port-Royal at the same time; he served as a witness for Nicolas during the purchase of his home in Port-Royal; he acted as godfather at the baptism of Mary, daughter of Nicolas. According to Placide Gaudet, Nicolas and Jean were brothers (Genealogies Acadiennes, p. 225, 226). We do not know of any marriage between the grandchildren or great-grandchildren of Jean Babineau and the descendants of Nicolas Babineau. There is therefore no exemption from kinship capable of providing us with proof of this assertion.

Discussion: there are no known parents for Jean Babineau and it is uncertain that he was the brother of Nicolas Babineau. There is no documentation proving that Antoinne Babineau and Louise Bourdage were his parents and they have been removed.
