Michel Haché and Madeleine LeBlanc are the ancestors of the Haché families of southeastern New Brunswick ^[1]

Michel Haché dit Gallant was born about 1691 in Acadia, most likely in Beaubassin. He was the son of Michel Haché and Anne Cormier.^[2][1]

He was listed in the household of his parents in the censuses of 1693 (age 1 1/2), 1698 (age 7), 1700 (age 9), and 1714 in Beaubassin.^[3][4][5][6]

He married Madeleine LeBlanc, daughter of Jacques LeBlanc and Catherine Hébert, on 12 October 1711 in Grand-Pré.^[7]

In 1720, the colony of Isle Saint-Jean (present-day Prince Edward Island) was founded by 200 settlers and fishermen from France.^[8] Michel's parents were the first Acadian family to move there.^[1] In 1728 Michel and Madeleine followed with their 3 sons and 4 daughters. That year they were counted in the census at Port-la-Joye. Michel was a farmer and he owned a house and a boat.^[9] They were counted again in 1730 with 7 children in the household. ^[10]

The family decided to return to Beaubassin. In fact Michel is the only son of the Haché family who did not settle permanently at Isle Saint-Jean.^[2] Their 11th child Pierre was born there in June 1734.

By 1752 they were at Ouescaque (present-day Westcock, N.B), one of the few small villages that were part of the colony of Beaubassin. There were 2 boys and 3 girls in the household.^[11] Many of their children with their families lived nearby: Jean, Michel, Marie, Marguerite, Françoise, and Marie-Anne. In 1755, a time of great turmoil, they appeared in the census still at Ouescaque. There were only 2 children left in the family home.^[12]

Michel passed away in September 1765 and was buried on 11 September 1765 at the age of 73 at Ste-Croix de Bordeaux, Guyenne (today Gironde), France.^[2][13]

Research Notes

Could not find information on Michel Haché's deportation to France. Did he go there at the same time as his son Joseph and his wife Anne Comeau who also died in Bordeaux, France?

   Note de S.A. White : Placide Gaudet remarque (Généalogies acadiennes, p. 2304-1) que Michel "est le seul des garçons de Michel Haché qui n'a pas émigré à l'Ile St-Jean." En effet, il a passé quelques années à l'île, mais est retourné avec sa famille à Beaubassin. Ceci est important parce qu'il nous permet de conclure qu'à la veille de la dispersion des Acadiens, tous les Haché de la région de Beaubassin appartenaient à la famille de Michel.
