Michel Vincent was born about 1668, most likely in Port-Royal, since his parents Pierre Vincent and Anne Gaudet were settled there in 1671 as shown in the first Acadian census.^[1] They owned 18 head of cattle, 9 sheep and 16 arpents of land. There were 3 boys and 1 girl in the household.^[2][3]

Michel was married twice, and he fathered 19 children.
