Biography

Jean Aubin Mignot has French origins.

Jean Aubin Mignot lived
in Canada, Nouvelle-France.

Jean Aubin Migneau was baptized, aged 2 months on the record, on 18 Apr 1650 in Notre-Dame de Québec. He was the son of Jean Mignot and of Marie Louise Cloutier. Godparents at the infant's baptism were Martin Baudet dit St-Martin and Marie Renouard. The officiating priest was Barthelemy Vimont.^[1][2][3] His name was spelled MEIGNAUX on daughter Cecile's christening record at Beaubassin in 1683, and on son Alexis's in 1685

Jean Aubin Mignaux of the parish of Beauport near Québec, son of Jean Mignot and Marie Louise Cloutier, married Anne Dugast, of the parish of St-Jean Baptiste, Port Royal, widow of Charles Bourgeois, habitant of Beaubassin, daughter of Abraham Dugast and Marguerite Doucet, on 26 Apr 1679 in Beaubassin, Acadia. One of the witnesses was Mr. de la VALLIERE, knight, seigneur of Beaubassin and commandant for the king in Acadia^[4][5][6]

In March 1682, the seigneur of Beaubassin Michel Le Neuf de La Vallière sent summons to eleven inhabitants of Beaubassin to appear before the Sovereign Council of Quebec for having refused to accept concession contracts. These inhabitants were: Pierre Morin, Guyon Chiasson, Michel Poirier, Roger Kessy, Claude Dugas, Germain and Guillaume Bourgeois, Germain Girouard, Jean-Aubin Migneaux, Jacques Belou and Thomas Cormier. ^[7] However, his attempt to impose seigneurial dues such as the corvée (obligatory labour) was soon contested by the settlers who won their case in court. ^[8][9]

In 1686, at Chiqnitou dit Beaubassin, Jean-Aubin MIGNAULT (sic), aged 36, was living with his wife, Anne DUGAS, aged 34, and their three children: Jean MIGNAULT (sic), aged 6, Cecile, aged 21 (sic), and Alexis, aged 3 months. Also, living with him were his three stepchildren from Anne's first marriage to Charles BOURGEOIS: Charles BOURGEOIS, aged 14, Claude, aged 12, and Anne, aged 7. The family owned 2 guns and was living on 8 arpents of cultivable land with 20 cattle, 4 sheep, and 14 hogs.^[10]

Jean Aubin...had come with the Seigneur Michel Leneuf de la Valliere, and become one of the richest man [sic] of the little colony [Beaubassin]. He had married in 1679 Anne Dugas, the widow of a military surgeon, and would have probably ended his days there in peace and comfort had not Colonel Church, a New Englander, raided the place in 1704, and practically destroyed it, in retaliation, it is said, of the Rouville's attack on Deerfield, and Jean Aubin returned to Quebec and made his home at Kamouraska ."^[11]

He died on 5 Sep 1712 at the Hotel-Dieu of Québec Hospital, in Québec City, Canada, Nouvelle-France.^[12][2] It was noted that he was from Kamouraska. ^[13]
