Around 1698, Charles was born in Beaubassin, Acadia, to Michel Haché Gallant and Anne Cormier. ^[1] He was 2 years old on the census of 1700 taken at Beaubassin.^{[2] [3] [4]} He was also counted in the family home in 1714.^[5]

In 1720, the colony of Isle Saint-Jean (present-day Prince Edward Island) was founded by 200 settlers and fishermen from France.^[6] Michel's parents were the first Acadian family to leave Beaubassin and move there. ^[7] All of their sons, except for Michel who returned to Beaubassin, settled at Isle Saint-Jean.

On 24 February 1727, Charles, then resident of Isle Saint-Jean, married Geneviève Lavergne, daughter of Pierre Lavergne and Anne Bernon, in St. Jean-Baptiste parish, Annapolis Royal, Acadia. ^{[1][3] [8][9]} The witnesses were Louis Robichaux son of Prudent Robichaux, Pierre Doucet son of Jacques Doucet, Joseph Doucet son of Claude Doucet, Pierre Lavergne, Jacques Lavergne his son.

Children:^[10]

1. Jacques René 1727-1759
2. Louise Geneviève 1730-1757
3. Charles Hyacinthe 1733-
4. Anne 1737-1813
5. Henriette Geneviève 1741-1762/
6. Joseph 1744-1822
7. Jean Baptiste 1750-

Charles and Geneviève were found at Port Lajoie, Isle Saint-Jean on the two censuses taken there in 1734. Charles was 35 and Geneviève was 25. There were 2 boys and 1 girl in the family home in the census taken in September. His parents and his brothers Pierre, Michel, Jean-Baptiste and Joseph were living nearby. ^[11] In the other census there were 2 boys and 2 girls.^[12] They were counted again the following year. ^[13]

He and Geneviève were mentioned on the census of 1752 (La Roque) taken at at Rivière-du-Nord-Est, (South side) Isle Saint-Jean .^[14]

In the same census, they were also mentioned in the entry for Sieur Louis Jonisseaux at Port-Lajoie. "They (Le Sr. Louis Jonisseaux, merchant & his wife Marie Therese Dauphin) hold the land by virtue of the following purchases, namely; One of two arpents front and fourty in depth, from Charles Haché Galland and Geneviève Lavergne his wife, and another of two arpents five perches front with a depth extending to the bank of the Barachois or Ance aux Sauvages from Louis la Bauve and Marie Landry his wife." ^[15]

Charles and his family moved quite a bit, likely to evade the British deportation of the Acadian population that was underway from 1755 to 1764 (and rumored even before that).

• 1760 and 1761 - at Restigouche where their daughter Henriette was married.
• 1763 - back to île Saint-Jean
• 1765 - Magdalen Islands
• ca 1772 - some of his family, including his wife Geneviève Lavergne, are at Nipisiguit, where some of the grandchildren born on île Saint-Jean after 1763 were baptized.

By 1763, Geneviève was widowed and named on a list of Acadians wishing to leave Isle Saint-Jean which had become a British colony and go to a French colony. She was residing at the time at Du-Moulin-à-Vent. There were 5 families there and everyone was related. There were her daughters Henriette and Anne, her brother-in-law François Haché, her nephew Louison Haché and their families.^[16] By 1765, they were all living in Havre-Saint-Pierre, Isles de la Madeleine where they stayed only a few years. They later settled in Nepisiguit.^[17]

Charles died at an unknown date in Nipisiguit. ^[4] (More research needed)

(Translation from French)"... some of the children of the widow Charles Gallant settled in Nipisiguit, including Henriette and her husband Pierre Melanson. Joseph Chiasson and Anne Haché went to the island of Miscou and from there their children went to settle in Caraquet and Lamèque The couple Louison Gallant and Anne Chiasson settled in Shippagan where Anne died in 1814. Three of their boys settled there while the other five returned to Île Saint-Jean to settle in Rustico and Malpeque Bay. The family of François Haché and Anne Boudreau stayed on the island and settled in Rustico where the descendants bear the Gallant name. This family included ten boys whom historians and genealogists have called "the ten brothers of Rustico". In fact, two of the sons eventually moved to New Brunswick: Sylvestre in Grande-Digue and René in Caraquet."^[17]
