Modified Register for (1) GERMAIN DOUCET Sieur De LaVerdure
First Generation
1. (1) GERMAIN DOUCET Sieur De LaVerdure[1] was born about 1596 in Couperane en Brie (ou Conflans en Brye), France. He died after 1654.
BIRTH:
alternate
1599 Touraine, France
GERMAIN married[1] (1) FEMALE[1] about 1620.
maybe at Bue, France
GERMAIN and FEMALE had the following children:
2 M i. (2) PIERRE DOUCET Dit La Verdure[1,2,3] was born about 1621. He died 1 Jun 1713 in Port-Royal, Acadia and was buried 2 Jun 1713 in Port-Royal, Acadia.
BIRTH:
maybe France
Census:
1671 Port Royal 50a
1686 Port Royal 55a (sic)
1693 Port Royal 56a (sic)vf
1698 Port Royal 80a (sic)
1700 Port Royal 63a (sic)
1701 Port Royal 90a (sic)
Location: DOUCET, Pierre, came from Canada, according to his great-great-grandson Pierre Doucet, who mistakenly called his distant forebear Germain (Doc. inéd., Vol. III, p. 53). This blunder is in fact the clue that has permitted genealogists to link the older Pierre to his own father, Germain Doucet, who is mentioned in Acadian records between 1640 and 1654 (see DGFA-1, pp. 526-528). The deponent also made an error regarding the name of his ancestor Pierre's wife. He called her Marguerite Landry, but the older Pierre Doucet was married to Henriette Pelletret (see ibid., pp. 528-530). The confusion of the family names Pelletret and Landry is easy to explain. Henriette Pelletret's mother Perrine Bourg was married twice, and her second husband was René Landry l'aîné. Perrine Bourg had no male offspring from her Pelletret marriage, but she had two Landry sons who had a considerable number of descendants (see ibid., pp.915-916, 1283-1284).

PIERRE married[1,2,3] (1a) HENRIETTE PELLETRET[1,2,3], daughter of (1) SIMON PELLETRET and PERRINE BOURG, about 1660 in Port-Royal, Acadia. HENRIETTE was born about 1641 in Paris, France. She died about 1693 in Acadia.
3 F ii. (1b) MARGUERITE DOUCET Louise[1,4] was born about 1625. She died 19 Dec 1707 in Port-Royal, Acadia and was buried 20 Dec 1707 in St-Laurent, Port-Royal, Acadia.
BIRTH:
May have been born in France
Census:
1671 Port Royal 46a
1686 Port Royal 50a (sic)
1693 Port Royal 66a
1700 Port Royal
Location: DOUCET, Marguerite, came from France with her husband Abraham Dugas, according to her great-grandson Alain LeBlanc (Doc. inéd., Vol. III, p. 50). This deposition does not name her, but Marguerite is identified as Abraham's wife and ultimately widow by four Acadian censuses between 1671 and 1700 and by her burial record in the register of Port-Royal (see DGFA-1, p. 526). Through the dispensations granted on the occasion of the marriages of some of her descendants with other Doucet descendants, it can be proved that she was a younger sister of the Pierre Doucet who is mentioned in the preceding paragraph. The fact that she came from France shows that Pierre must have originated there too, notwithstanding the affirmation that he came to Acadia from Canada.

MARGUERITE married[1,4] (1) ABRAHAM DUGAS[1,4] about 1647 in Port-Royal, Acadia. ABRAHAM was born about 1616. He died 1693/1700 in Port-Royal, Acadia and was buried before 1701 in Port-Royal, Acadia.
BIRTH:
may have been born St Anne Dauray, Bretegagne, France
Census: 1671 Port Royal 55a
1686 Port Royal 70a
1693 Port Royal 74a
Location: DUGAS, Abraham, came from France with his wife, according to his great-grandson Alain LeBlanc (Doc. inéd., Vol. III, p. 50). This deposition does not name Abraham's wife. She is identified as Marguerite Doucet by four Acadian censuses between 1671 and 1700 and by her burial record in the register of Port-Royal (see DGFA-1, p. 526).

4 F iii. (1c) Female Doucet[1,5].
BIRTH:
maybe 1635 Port Royal, Acadia
Female married[1,5] (1) Pierre Lejeune Dit Briard[1,5] on 1650 in Port-Royal, Acadia.
Location: LEJEUNE, Pierre, came from France, according to Claude Pitre, husband of Madeleine Darois, whose first husband Alexis Trahan was Pierre Lejeune's great-grandson (Doc. inéd., Vol. III, p. 29). There is reason to believe that this Pierre Lejeune was married to a Doucet (see DGFA-1, pp. 1048-1049).

5 M iv. (3) Germain Doucet[1,6] was born about 1641 in Port-Royal, Acadia. He died before 1698 in Port-Royal, Acadia.

Hi Jackie,

One of my nineth g. grandmothers was Margaret Judith
Doucet, b.1625 in France and d. 19 Dec 1707 in Port
Royal, Acadia. Her father, my 10th g grandfateh, was
Germain and he was b. abt 1595 in France, and died
there abt 1654. Do you have either of these in your
database? I am looking for the siblings and parents
of Germain.

Also, I show he died in France, but I show that his
son Germain II was born in 1641 in Acadia. Do you
think the father went back to France, or did I somehow
enter the wrong place of death for him?
