Germain Theriot, the eldest child of Claude Theriot and Marie Gautrot, was born about 1662, very likely in Port-Royal since the family was listed in the 1671 census at that location.^[1][2]

He was also counted in the family home at age 16 in 1678.^[3]

Germain Theriot and Anne Richard, daughter of Michel Richard and Madeleine Blanchard, were married before the 1686 census, in Port Royal, Acadie.^[2]

In 1686, at Port Royal, Germain TERRIOT [sic], aged 23, was living with his young wife, Anne RICHARD, aged 15. They had no children yet as they were just married. They owned 1 gun and were living on 6 arpents of cultivable land with 6 cattle and 8 sheep.^[5]

By 1693, the family had settled at Les Mines, where they lived for many years and raised their children, as shown in the censuses of 1693,^[6]1701,^[7]1703,^[8]1707,^[9]and 1714.^[10]

A letter dated 25 August 1714 granted permission to Germain and his family to settle at Isle Royale.^[2]

He died sometime after 17 October 1730, the date he witnessed the marriage of his granddaughter Marguerite Theriot.^[11]
