Biography

Francois Doucet was a Canadian First Peoples and member of the Mi'kmaq Nation.

François Doucet was born around 1709. He was the son of Germain Doucet, a Mi'kmaq from the river of Port-Royal, and Françoise Unknown. This Germain Doucet is NOT of the more famous Germain Doucet Family, not connected to those parents by White and not by MWLandry.

On 25 June 1726, at Annapolis Royal, he married Marie Pisnet, daughter of Pierre Pisnet and Anne Unknown. She was a nineteen-years-old Mi'kmaq of Cape Sable.^[1] The witnesses were Joseph Amiraut and François Amiraut.

No children are known for this couple.^[2]

White: Selon le Père Archange Godbout, la famille de Germain Doucet figure au recensement de 1708 sous le nom de Medosset (Dictionnaire des Acadiens, p. 236). Il y a néanmoins un conflit entre les documents. Dans le recensement, l'épouse de Germain Medosset est appelée Marie-Charlotte, mais au registre paroissial c'est Françoise qu'on lit comme prénom de l'épouse de Germain Doucet. (Translation: Note from S.A. White: According to Father Archange Godbout, Germain Doucet's family appears in the 1708 census under the name of Medosset (Dictionnaire des Acadiens, p. 236). There is nevertheless a confluence between the documents. In the census, the wife of Germain Medosset is called Marie-Charlotte, but in the parish register it is Françoise that we read as the first name of the wife of Germain Doucet.)
