Biography

Descendant
Descendant of First Nations Anne "dit Petitous" Ouestnorouest.

Pierre Martin was born about 1661 in Port Royal, Acadie, Nouvelle-France, son of Pierre Martin (1632–aft. 1714) and Anne Ouestnorouest (abt. 1644–aft. 1687).[1]

He was the first child of Pierre and Anne Ouestnorouest. In 1671 and1678 he was found in his fathers home in Port Royal.[2][3][4]

In 1686, at Port Royal, Pierre, aged 23, was living with his father, Pierre MARTIN, widower, aged 50, and his six siblings: Andre, aged 20, Jacques, aged 19, Jean, aged 15, Cecille [sic], aged 10, Marie, aged 8, and Renee, aged 6. They were living on 5 arpents of cultivable land with 10 cattle, 10 sheep and 8 hogs.[5]

Pierre (23) later moved to Beaubassin in Acadia and married Anne (Gaudin) Gaudin dite Châtillon (12) (born on 10 Jan 1672 in Montréal, Canada, Nouvelle-France; daughter of Pierre (Godin) Godin dit Châtillon and Jeanne Rousselière) in 1685 in Beaubassin, Acadie.[6] Their known children were:

  1. Cecile Martin (1687– ) .
  2. Renee Martin (1688– ) .
  3. Madeleine Martin (1689– ) .
  4. Etienne Martin (abt. 1690– ) .
  5. Pierre Martin (1691–bef. 1752) .
  6. François Martin (abt. 1693–bef. 1726) .
  7. Marie Martin (abt. 1695–bef. 1759) .
  8. Joseph Claude Martin (abt. 1697–aft. 1758) .
  9. Joseph Martin (1697– ) .
  10. Anne Martin (1699–bef. 1719) .
  11. Angelique Martin (abt. 1700–1760) .
  12. Barthélemy Martin (1704–bef. 1761) .
  13. Marie Magdelaine Martin (1706–1706) .
  14. Paul Martin (1707–1758) .
  15. Charles Martin (1709– ) .
  16. Jean Martin (1711– ) .
  17. Elisabeth Martin (abt. 1716– )

In 1693, Pierre and Anne, and their children, Cécile, Renée, Madeleine and Étienne were living with his parents at Port-Royal.[7] The family appeared to be doing well as shown in the 1698 census.[8] They owned 12 cattle, 12 sheep, 10 hogs, 22 arpents of land, 70 fruit trees and one gun. The following children were listed: Pierre, François, and Marie. Pierre Martin's sister, Claude-Marie Martin, was also counted. However, the four children that appeared on the 1693 census were omitted. They reappear in the 1700 census, with five younger siblings: Pierre, François, Marie, Joseph and Anne. They were living with Pierre's parents.[9]They continued to raise their children and tend their farm in Port-Royal. Censuses in 1701,[10] 1703,[11] 1707,[12] 1710,[13] and 1714[14] show that their land holdings and livestock were decreasing with time. Land was becoming scarce in Annapolis Royal and French authorities encouraged the Acadians to move to French territory.

The family moved to Ile Royale (now Cape Breton) in 1717 and was given rations for 1 year by the King.[15][16] Unfortunately, the rocky terrain on Ile Royale was not conducive to farming.

In 1720, Pierre moved to Ile St. Jean (now Prince Edward Island) in Acadia, the same year that it was established by a company of France. His residence was recorded in Rivière-du-Nord-Est in November 1728.[17] In another census taken that year in Port Lajoie, Pierre was listed as a ploughman, with his wife and a young daughter. He owned a house.[1] In 1734, Pierre, age 78, and his wife, age 65, were still living in Port Lajoie with 2 sons age 25 and 23, and owned 4 oxen, 4 cows, 4 horses (according to transcriptions) or heifers (according to DGFA p. 1132), 2 ewes. They had 7 employees and 1 boat.[18]

His death is recorded on December 14, 1739, in Saint-Pierre-du-Nord, Ile Saint-Jean.[4][1]

DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Pierre by comparing test results with other carriers of his Y-chromosome or his mother's mitochondrial DNA. However, there are no known yDNA or mtDNA test-takers in his direct paternal or maternal line. It is likely that these autosomal DNA test-takers will share some percentage of DNA with Pierre:

Pierre Martin and Jeanne Rousselière appear together in the 1689,1693, 1700, 1701 and 1714 censuses for Port Royal, Acadie. They are both widowers who remarried sometime between 1686 and 1689. We should be able to find out where they died; their deaths are not recorded in Port Royal, though parish records exist for that period.

Gerald, we would love to have parish records for Port Royal before 1702. Can you post the place with a link? There are some parish records for Beaubassin for that time period. Links to original images are here

https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:Acadians_Project_Reliable_Sources

Also if you find their deaths, please feel free to add to the facts and biography with sources. You are speaking of his wife's parents, correct? Otherwise, often the only timeframe we have for a death is their absence or widow status on a census or a remarriage of the remaining spouse, such as both of them have with the censuses.

Thanks for your note, I'd love to have that source. Cindy Bourque Cooper
