Claude Boudrot was born about 1663 in Port-Royal, Acadie, Nouvelle-France, son of Michel Boudrot (abt. 1600–aft. 1688) and Michelle Aucoin (abt. 1620–1706).^[1] He was mentioned for the first time in the Port-Royal census of 1671.^[2] He was listed as 8 years old at the time, living with his parents and ten siblings. Claude was enumerated in Port-Royal again with his family in 1678, at the age of 16, according to Stephen A. White.^[3] His interpretation of the census, which mentions that there were 5 boys between the ages of 12 and 22 in the family home with no names given, differs from Rev. Clarence J. d'Entremont's interpretation who believes that Claude was absent from that census and the boy age 16 was Olivier.^[4]

Claude was married three times and fathered twenty-one children.^[3]

In 1682, Claude (~18) married Anne Marie Thibodeau (~15) (born about 1666 in Port-Royal; daughter of Pierre Thibodeau and Jeanne Thériot) in 1682 in Acadie. Their known children were:

1. Claude Boudrot (abt. 1683–aft. 1742) .
2. Michel Boudrot (abt. 1685–abt. 1755) .
3. Joseph Boudrot (abt. 1687–bef. 1756) .
4. Anne Marie Boudrot (abt. 1690–aft. 1755) .
5. Marie Boudrot (abt. 1692–bef. 1768) .
6. Anne Boudrot (abt. 1694–1768) .
7. Elisabeth Boudrot (1696–abt. 1756) .
8. Marguerite Boudrot (abt. 1698–aft. 1767)

In 1686, at Baye des Mines, Claude BOUDROT, aged ~23, was living with his newlywed wife, Rnne-Marie [sic] TIBODEAU [sic], aged ~20. There was no land or livestock listed.^[5]

Seven years later, in the 1693 census, five children were listed and they owned cattle, sheep, pigs, cultivated land and had one gun.^[6]

In 1700, at Grand-Pré, Acadie, when Anne Marie died, Claude (~36) married Catherine Meunier (~19) (born ~1680 in Île d'Orléans, Canada, Nouvelle-France; daughter of Jean Meunier and Marguerite Housseau).

Their known children were:

1. Catherine Boudrot (abt. 1700–bef. 1731) .
2. Cecile Boudrot (abt. 1701–1725) .
3. Étienne Boudrot (abt. 1703–bef. 1756) .
4. Marie Anne Boudrot (abt. 1705–1759) .
5. Paul Boudrot (1707–abt. 1758) .
6. François Boudrot (1709–bef. 1763) .
7. Jean Boudrot (abt. 1711–bef. 1763) .
8. Pierre Boudrot (abt. 1712–1759) .
9. Françoise Boudrot (abt. 1715–bef. 1751) .
10. Marie Josephe (Boudreaux) Boudrot (1718–bef. 1761) .
11. Claire Boudrot (1719–1741) .
12. Anne Boudrot (1721–1756) .
13. Charles Boudrot (1725–bef. 1781)

Claude was widowed from Catherine Meunier and about 72 years old when he married Marie Magdeleine Corporon (62) (born about 1672 in Port-Royal; daughter of Jean Corporon and Françoise Savoie) on 7 Aug 1735 in Annapolis Royal, Acadie, Nova Scotia. It was a third marriage for her also.^[7]

Claude passed away five years later. He was interred on March 7, 1740 in the parish of St-Charles aux Mines, Grand-Pré. "Claude Boudrot, age ca 80, bur. 7 March 1740 in the cemetery of the parish of St Charles aux Mines, wit. Pierre Doucet (s)^[8]; Joseph Terriot (s); Francois Boudrot; Michel Boudrot (SGA-3,4b)"^[9][10][3]

Biographie

Claude est né vers 1663^[3], possiblement à Port-Royal.

White.^[3] Son interprétation du recensement qui mentionne qu'il y avait 5 garçons entre 12 et 22 ans dans la maison familiale, aucun nom donné, diffère de l'interprétation du Rév. Clarence J. d'Entremont qui croit que Claude était absent de ce recensement et le garçon de 16 ans était Olivier.^[4]
