- ↑ 1.0 1.1 1.2 This profile was created from information in the manuscript “The 70 signers of the Founding of Arichat Parish, Cape Breton”, published in 2006 by Lena White, readily available for reference at Ancestory.com. Ms. White attributes the facts and data in her manuscript to: Stephen A. White, article “Les fondateurs de la paroisse d'Arichat, Cap-Breton”, from Cahiers de la société historique Acadienne - Volume 23, Pagination 4 – 26, 1992
Antoine Meunier, born about 1731 in France, married about 1768, Marie Josephe (Josette) Sauvage dit Forgeron, daughter of Pierre Sauvage dit Forgeron and Marie Jeanne Pinet. L’Abbe Bailly revalidated the Marriage of Antoine and Marie Josephe at Arichat, 12 aug 1771. In 1808, his brothers-in-law sold Antoine their share of the land grant in Little Arichat (West Arichat), where the Meuniers are still of great number. We learned that Antoine was native of France, thru the Militia List for Cape Breton of 1813, where he is listed as being 82 years old.
