Michel dit Michaud Bourg was born around May, 1666, probably in Port Royal.[1][2] And living in Port Royal with his family in 1678[3]

On Sept 16, 1684, Michel made a deposition against James Taylor of Boston that came and stole from him and others from Port Royal.[4]

He married Elisabeth Melanson in about 1689.[1]

In 1693, at Port Royal, Michel BOURG, aged 28, was living with his wife, Elisabeth MELANCON [sic], aged 21, and their two children: Marguerite, aged 3, and Michel, aged 1. They were living on 5 [sic] for 6 arpents of cultivable land with 8 cattle, 12 sheep, and 2 [sic] for 7 pigs.[5]

By 1698 the family moved to Beaubassin. His name as entered was Mel.[6] The census in 1700 shows that there were 5 young children in the family home. No land or farm animals were listed.[7] Michel and Élisabeth continued to raise their children in Beaubassin as shown in the subsequent censuses.[8][9][10]

By 1714, they already had their full family of 11 children.[11]

    "Avant sa mort prématurée, survenue vers 1685, François Bourque [this man's father] a eu sept enfants, dont l'aîné portait le prénom de son grand-père maternel. Michel Bourque, né à Port-Royal vers le mois d'avril 1666, est allé s'établir à Beaubassin quelques années après son mariage, vers 1689, avec Élisabeth Melanson, fille de Charles Melanson et de Marie Dugas. Tous les Bourque du sud-est du NouveauBrunswick descendent de deux fils de Michel: celui qui suit (no 1) et Jean-Baptiste (no 11)."
    English Translation by google
    "Before his untimely death, which occurred around 1685, François Bourque [this man's father] had seven children, the eldest of whom bore the name of his maternal grandfather. Michel Bourque, born in Port-Royal around April 1666, went to settle in Beaubassin a few years after his marriage, around 1689, with Élisabeth Melanson, daughter of Charles Melanson and Marie Dugas. All Bourques of southeastern New Brunswick descend from two of Michel's sons: the one who follows (no. 1) and Jean Baptiste (No. 11).
