In1998, Waldron Leard, sent me a large packet of information via snail-mail on the Michel family prior to the expulsion of the Acadians. I have been fascinated to realize that I am Rene Meunier�s 10th great-granddaughter and have worked on connections. I do realize that there are many more family members who do not appear here, but I drew the line out to my fifth cousins. There are connections to the Bell, Betts, Boulter, Carruthers, Dawson, Gordon, Leard, M�Williams, Muttart families and others and for those, please see the "Descendants of Francois (dit la Riviere)" file!

Notes for ISAAC OR ETIENNE PASQUIER/PAQUET:
By the mid-1600's, the French in La Nouvelle France had developed very strong commercial ties with the Algonquin and Huron Indians in the fur trade. When the Iroquois waged war on the Algonquins and Hurons, as they had for many years, the French went to the aid of their commercial partners. By doing so, the French earned the hatred of the Iroquois. Prodded on by the English, who also wanted the French out of North America, the Iroquois began raiding French villages and slaughtering the people.
In France, there was a regiment of seasoned soldiers know as the Carignan Regiment. This was an army for hire, made up of hand-picked volunteers. The standards were very high and these men had to be big and strong physically with a strong fighting spirit. Rather than demobilize the regiment newly back from an engagement against the Turks, France placed the Regiment under the command of Henri de Chapelas, Sieur de Salieres and there for they were renamed the Carignan-Salieres Regiment.
In 1665, they arrived in New France and over the next two years, The Regiment manned garrisons and launched attacks on the Iroquois. By the end of this period, their task was accomplished and peace was restored. About 400 officers stayed with the promise of tracts of land that they could farm and start a new life. Isaac was a soldier in the Carignan-Salieres Regiment.

Notes for PIERRE (DIT LACROIX) LABBE:
By the mid 1600's, the French in La Nouvelle France had developed very strong commercial ties with the Algonquin and Huron Indians in the fur trade. When the Iroquois waged war on the Algonquins and Hurons, as they had for many years, the French went to the aid of their commercial partners. By doing so, the French earned the hatred of the Iroquois. Prodded on by the English, who also wanted the French out of North America, the Iroquois began raiding French villages and slaughtering the people.
In France, there was a regiment of seasoned soldiers know as the Carignan Regiment. This was an army for hire, made up of hand-picked volunteers. The standards were very high and these men had to be big and strong physically with a strong fighting spirit. Rather than demobilize the regiment newly back from an engagement against the Turks, France placed the Regiment under the command of Henri de Chapelas, Sieur de Salieres and there for they were renamed the Carignan-Salieres Regiment.
In 1665 they arrived in New France and over the next two years, The Regiment manned garrisons and launched attacks on the Iroquois. By the end of this period, their task was accomplished and peace was restored. About 400 officers stayed with the promise of tracts of land that they could farm and start a new life. Pierre was a soldier in the Carignan-Salieres Regiment.

Generation No. 5
25. CATHERINE5 MEUNIER (JEAN4, METHURIN3, RENE2, UNKNOWN1) was born 1685 in Acadie, La Nouvelle-France [NS, Canada], and died Abt. 1733 in St Charles des Mines, Acadie, La Nouvelle-France [Grand Pre, NS, Canada] (Saint-Charles-aux-Mines cimetiere). She married CLAUDE BOUDROT Aft. 1682 in Port-Royal, Acadie, La Nouvelle-France [Port Royal, NS, Canada], son of MICHEL BOUDROT and MICHELLE-MADELIENE AUCOIN.

Notes for CLAUDE BOUDROT:
Claude's father Michel was a Counsellor and Lieutenant General of Acadie in 1678, headquartered at Port Royal and was also Judge of that settlement. It seems that the title at Port Royal may not have been military, but civil administrator and judge. Claude probably had a relatively privileged upbringing by Acadian standards.

Notes for MARIE-ANNE MEUNIER:
In every house the spinning wheel and the loom, perhaps with an unfinished web of woolen cloth or flaxen crash upon it, were in evidence. French and Acadian women were know for their remarkable beautiful needlework, which their daughters learned at an early age
Before cloth could be bought, it was home-grown and handmade. Flax, which is best adapted to medium loam and clay soils, grew very well in Acadie. A whole family cooperated in pulling up the flax stocks by hand, taking care to leave the fibres as long as possible. Since there was no machinery, , every laborious task in this preparation was done by the combined efforts of all able-bodied members of the family, who worked for weeks on end.
After the stocks had been pulled out, they were bound and set in shocks for drying. Dried stalks were then deseeded (battre au Fleau) and the seeds were winnowed in the wind and saved for sowing and for medicine. The deseeded straw could then be retted to dissolve the gums that bind the fibres to the woody portions of the stem. This was done either by spreading it thinly on the ground (dew Retting), or immersing it in ponds, vats or sluggish streams for several days until the bark loosened sufficiently to be readily pulled off. After being dried again, the stocks were put through a braie to break up the pithy core and loosen it from the fibrous sheath. This core was completely removed by a process called ecorcer. This was the beating of the outside covering of the plant with a wooden object until it loosened and fell from the stock. Then the short tangled fibres were completely combed out with a special comb, leaving long straight fibres called line fibres, which were further combed and twisted into yarn on a spinning wheel and stored for weaving during the long winter months. About 10 hours of labour was required to prepare a pound of linen thread.
The loom was made from pine or cedar. Girls learned to mount the warp threads on the rack and transfer it to the loom, to wind the skeins from the spindles and fill the spools and bobbins. Wool cloth for clothing was woven in herringbone or diamond design, according to preference. Some housewives in later years used cotton and wool for warp and woof while others used all wool. The resultant cloth was the width of half a blanket, so that two widths were sewn side by side, then brushed with a wool comb until it was as soft as angora. A good worked could make about a yard a day if she worked from early morning until dusk.
For tinting, tea and coffee (when available) were popular, also blue indigo and alder branches boiled in water to make couperose (copperas). Black strands were alternated with white to make grey.
Children of MARIE-ANNE MEUNIER and RENE MARTIN are:
35. i. RENE6 MARTIN, b. 1698, Port-Royal or Anappolis Royal, Acadie, La Nouvelle-France [Port Royal, NS, Canada]; d. 10 Jan 1777, L'Achigan, La Nouvelle-France [Montcalm, QC, Canada].

27. MARGUERITE5 MEUNIER/MIGNIER (JEAN4 MEUNIER, METHURIN3, RENE2, UNKNOWN1) was born 1680 in Acadie, La Nouvelle-France [NS, Canada]. She married FRANCOIS (DIT LARUINE) MICHEL 1695 in Acadie, La Nouvelle-France, son of FRANCOIS MICHEL and MADELEINE GERMON. He was born Abt. 1670 in France, and died Bef. 1755 in Pisiquit, Acadie, La Nouvelle-France [Windsor, NS, Canada].
Notes for FRANCOIS (DIT LARUINE) MICHEL:
The French colony of Port Royal, established in 1605, was exchanged back and forth between France and England on a number of occasions. The first Port Royal Acadian census was recorded in 1671. The Treaty of D'Utrecht signed in 1713, was the "beginning of the end" for Acadian people. Francois resided with his wife in Pisiquit Acadie and in 1714 they, with three sons and four daughters were among 346 people living along the Riviere de Pisiquit. From 1713 to 1755, the Acadian people were forced to live under an "English regime". Although these 30 years were years of prosperity, they were also years of incertitude. In 1744, the French, under the command of General Duvivier, attempted to take over Acadia. Louisbourg fell in 1745.
Children of MARGUERITE MEUNIER/MIGNIER and FRANCOIS MICHEL are:
36. i. MARIE-JOSEPHE6 MICHEL, b. 1696, Pisiquit, Acadie, La Nouvelle-France [Windsor, NS, Canada]; d. L'Anse-au-Matelot, Ile Saint-Jean, La Nouvelle-France [Alexandra, PEI Canada].

Francois-Louis was a ploughman.
Notes for CECILE MICHEL:
They lived a Riviere au Crapaud on the east bank of the River. They made a clearing on it for the sowing of four bushels of wheat. In livestock they owned two oxen, four cows, one calf, four pigs and ten fowls. The Fall Farm was just to the west of the Crapaud People's Cemetery and the cemetery is on the site of this Acadian farm. The first known British settler on this property was Christopher Smith of Harum in Yorkshire, England.
Notes for FRANCOIS-LOUIS BOURC/BOURG:
The Acadians landed at Point Prim and were verbally granted land by the Commandant, Monsieur Denis de Bonnaventure. They arrived in the Crapaud area about 1750. By 1758, the Cobequid settlers who came to Ile Saint-Jean through the efforts of Lord Rollo had arrived and the Acadians were deported to France and their newly established settlements burnt.
iii. PAUL (DIT LAURINE) MICHEL, b. 1703, Pisiquit, Acadie, La Nouvelle-France [Windsor, NS, Canada]; d. 1742, Acadie, La Nouvelle-France [ NS, Canada]; m.

Aft. 1752, Riviere du Moulin a Scie, Ile Saint Jean, La Nouvelle-France [Johnstons River, PEI, Canada]. Paul was a ploughman
Notes for MARIE JOSEPHTE VINCENT:
The family moved to Ile St-Jean around 1750-52. The move took place after Paul's death.
iv. MARGUERITE MICHEL, b. 1706, Pisiquit, Acadie, La Nouvelle-France [Windsor, NS, Canada]; d. Riviere-du-Nord-Est, Ile Saint Jean, La Nouvelle-France [N of Hillsborough River, PEI, Canada]; m.

Riviere-du-Nord-Est, Ile Saint Jean, La Nouvelle-France [N of Hillsborough River, PEI, Canada]. Paul was a ploughman.
Notes for PAUL (DIT GRANDPAUL) DOIRON/DOUARON:
They came to Ile St-Jean ca. 1750 and settled on the Hillsborough River.
v. ELIZABETH (DIT LARUINE) MICHEL, b. 1712, Pisiquit, Acadie, La Nouvelle-France [Windsor, NS, Canada]; d. Bef. 1750, Acadie, La Nouvelle-France [NS, Canada]; m.

Riviere-du-Nord-Est, Ile Saint Jean, La Nouvelle-France [N of Hillsborough River, PEI, Canada]. Jean was a ploughman.
Notes for JEAN VINCENT:
Jean came to the Island in 1750. Jean had land on the Riviere du Moulin-a-scie, situated on the south side of the Riveiere du Nord-Est of Port la Joie in 1752. Jean is listed in the 1752 census as married to Marguerite Herbert, a native of Acadia aged 25 and with a 2 year old son so it is unlikely that Elizabeth ever lived on the Island. The land was granted to Jean verbally by Monsieur de Bonnaventure. On it they made a clearing for the sowing of eight bushels of wheat. He had in livestock two pigs and eight fowls. The property is on a piece of land between the Johnston's and the Glenfinnan Rivers, overlooking the Hillsborough River.

Notes for MARIE MICHEL:
This family came to Ile Saint-Jean about 1750 and was on a grant of land given to them verbally by Monsieur de Bonnaventure. They made a clearing of three arpents in extent at this location at Rivieres du Moulins-a-Scie on the south side of the petite Ascension.
The Hillsborough River is typical of many PEI waterways, subject to tidal influences up to 75% of the length of its main stream. The Acadians called it "Riviere de Nord'Est" and "La Grand Riviere". The early colonial British named it Hillsborough for the Earl of Hillsborough. It is also known as the East River. The French were the first Europeans to occupy the area on a continuing basis beginning in 1720 at Port-LaJoie guarding the south of the river.
In 1758, at the hands of the British, most of the Island's population of 5,000 were removed from their lands, including the rich marshlands of the Hillsborough which had attracted the experienced Acadians. The Acadian homesteads along the River, included Port-LaJoie (Present day Fort Amherst, a point of land between the Johnston's and Glenfinnan Rivers, present day Frenchfort, Scotchfort, Mount Stewart, and Pisquid)
Notes for BERNARD SAVARY:
Bernard was the oldest of four surviving sons and three daughters and his father, a widower, lived with them in Ile Saint-Jean.

Notes for MARIE-JOSEPHE MICHEL:
The family resided at Pisiquit in 1714, St-Charles-des-Mines from 1719 to 1731, l'Anse-au-Matelot, Ile Saint-Jean in 1749 and Petit-Marais in 1752. They settled on property granted to them verbally by Monsieur de Bonnaventure at Anse-au-Matelost. On it they made a clearing for a garden. In livestock they had a heifer, two sows and twenty fowls. The area they settled on in Ile Saint-Jean is now known as Alexandra.
Monsieur Denis de Bonnaventure was a native of France who distinguished himself as a soldier at Louisburg on Ile Rayale. He was appointed Commandant (Governor) of Ile Saint-Jean in August 1749 and served until 1754. He had under his command a garrison of 100 men. His first act was to reconstruct the principal buildings of his garrison, including barracks, personal quarters for himself, a surgeon, the parish priest as well as large depots for provisions and arms. The buildings were all wood, excepting the powder magazine, which was built of stone. The building site remained the same as was before, prior to the fort's burning by New Englanders in 1745 during the war that was fought by the British and French from 1744-1748.
The Treaty of Aix-la-Chapelle was signed on 18 October 1748 restoring Ile Saint-Jean and Isle Royal to France. The area known as Acadie was also what is now mainland Nova Scotia, remained in British hands. Assistance was provided from the Government to all Acadians in British territory who would move to Ile Saint-Jean from Nova Scotia and bring their livestock with them. Bonnaventure assigned the land to the influx that arrived, on a verbal basis. Apparently he did not issue deeds. Bonaventure was succeeded by Rousseau de Villejouin.

Notes for BARBE (DIT LAURINE) MICHEL:
Acadians had a marked taste for homemade pastry, especially des poutines, a type of dough based on flour or scrapped potatoes. Cut and rolled into balls, the dough was dropped into boiling broth, where it cooked and rose to the surface.
Not to be overlooked were buckwheat pancakes, or plogues. They were either thin and turned over, or raised. The latter were made with levin or yeasty residue that was kept in a wooden bucket from meal to meal. They raised hot and light, with many tiny holes spurting a mouth-watering steam, and were not turned over but stacked and kept hot.
There was cabbage soup, wild berries (fresh in summer, jams in winter, des grillades, du pain de buckwhit, del la tourtiere, or pork pies. The earthen cellar floor, cool but above freezing, was covered with pumpkins, carrots, beets, turnips, potatoes and onions. Croquecicnois, a kind of raised doughnut, made of a round piece of dough, slashed and twisted, then fired in deep fat, was a holiday specialty - these were called beignes in La Nouvelle-France. They were swerved with home-made wine - either dandelion, choke cherry, beet, patte d'oie or chasspareil.
Before table tea could be either bought or traded for, tea was made from branches of American larch or tamarack, steeped in hot water. Coffee was barley, roasted in a shallow pan until brown. Beer was concocted from fir tops, soaked in a barrel with yeast and molasses. This was fermented for a few days, when it settled, the clear liquor that resulted was considered not bad at all. On holidays was brought from the bottom of le grand coffre a bottle of rum, worth a week's work - but fully appreciated by pioneers whose love of un p'tit coup has not diminished with the generations. To drink to excess was a virer un tanante de brosse or prendre une brosse.
Notes for MICHEL ULRICH:
The forest pressed hard upon the rough buildings of the Acadian pioneer. The noon sun drew a golden path on a broad stretch which axes has cleared, and it was time to enter the home for dinner. The settlers came for a simple meal. They loved du lard, preferring it to partridge and hare. After a bowl of pea soup, salt pork, boiled potatoes and hot tea, they filled their saucers with molasses obtained in trade with the New England merchants, in which they soaked large pieces of bread. They leaned back to enjoy une touche.
Potatoes were the staple food. The old-time woodsman method of cooking them, sliced raw and laid on top of the stove where they sizzled and toasted, then salted and buttered was one method of preparing them. Another method was cooking them in hot coals, raked out black as a cinder, with the insides white an fluffy.
Meat was fresh game or slaughtered livestock, which could not be kept long. In winter, some was frozen. Families arranged exchanges so that when one slaughtered, he would return the amount borrowed from the other. When meat could not be frozen, it was salted down in barrels of heavy brine.
Square tailed trout and togue were native to the waters. Togue, which was unexcelled for chowder has entirely disappeared from eastern Canadian rivers. Salmon and smelt were also harvested for food. Caribou and moose were plentiful but had to be hunted with care. Deer did no appear until after the land was opened for agriculture.
Butter was churned by hand, the buttermilk immersed in the brook in earthenware jugs to be used for drinking or in cooking.
Children of BARBE MICHEL and MICHEL ULRICH are:
i. BARBARA (BARBE)7 ULRICH, b. Abt. 1738, Acadie, La Nouvelle-France [NS, Canada]; d. Aft. 1798, Tryon (2 mi W of Crapaud), Lot 28, Prince Co., PEI, Canada; m. ADAM PHOLMER/FOLMER/FULMORE, 10 Jan 1763, Sainte-Charles-de-Bellechasse, QC, Canada; b. Bitche Lorraine, France; d. Aft. 1811, Tryon (2 mi W of Crapaud), Lot 28, Prince Co., PEI, Canada. Adam was a farmer.
Notes for ADAM PHOLMER/FOLMER/FULMORE:
For some time the family resided in Quebec. Adam was living in the Parish of St. Charles Co., Bellechaisse and sold land 3 x 40 in the third concession on the Riviere de Sud. The county of Bellechaisse is across the St. Lawrence River from Quebec City.
We do not know if there were children.
What is known is that in 1803, a Loyalist emigrant and possibly and ex-soldier, Robert Han(d)cock was living at Adam's home at Tryon. Hancock was still alive in 1811 as he was the executer of James Howatt's estate.

Notes for MARGUERITE (HOLLERIE) ULRICH:
Marguerite did not receive the land promised to her husband as a disbanded soldier. It was said that Marguerite went to Charlottetown to see Govenor Patterson asking for provisions and assistance in her time of need, but was turned down and it was the Mic Mac Indians who helped the family through a harsh winter. The seven girls were strong and able to cut and haul trees to the mill, as well as clear the land around the stumps for farm animals.
Notes for CORPORAL BALTHAZAR MOUTARDE/MOTHART:
Balthazar Mautarde was a Roman Catholic and was probably most at home in the German tongue, and indeed was known familiarly to his descendants as "The German". Moutarde is the French word for mustard. That may, however, have been a French corruption of a German name, and it is possible that Mothart was in fact his original name. It may be worth noting that most in German-speaking areas at the time of his birth were baptized "Johann" plus one or more middle names; the oldest boy would go as Johann and the others by a middle name. He came to Quebec in 1757 with the stoneworkers captured at Louisbourg. How he was recruited to the French service is not known, but we do know from Tanguay that he was a "fichuer" (stone cutter or stone layer). Balthazar would not have lived within the walls of the fortress at Louisbourg (Gibraltar of the North). It is known that the stonecutters lived in a community slightly north and east, called Lorraine. It was a contemptible job. The mortar was mixed with salt water and did not hold. The cutters lived in miserable conditions and were treated as low-class citizens. It is possible that when the fortress was captured, Balthazar may have met countrymen or relations (German settlers from Pennsylvania) and his desertion to the British forces was made that much easier with connections. He served in the English Army in 1758 {by Abbe' Tanguay in his Dictionnaire Genealogique des Canadiens VI:127}. He was a Corporal {according to Ottawa Archives spelled Baltazer Mothart} in Captain Bradstreets' Company of the 2nd Batt. Royal American Regiment and fought under General Wolfe (13 Sep 1759) on the Plains of Abraham with the capture of Quebec. Canada passed to British control with the Treaty of Paris on 10 Feb 1763. There is a very slight chance that Balthazar worked with Holland's Survey Party "Canceaux Co." which surveyed the Island from 1764 to 1765. If he were a member of the Holland surveying party, Muttart would have an opportunity to select a suitable piece of land for himself, and in fact he settled in Lot 28 (one of the richest growing areas of PEI) On 03 Feb 1769, according to the Quebec Judicial Archives, Baltazar Mottar sold his land in Bellechaise. While he could be trilingual in speech and thought, it appears that he could not read or write and so marked his "X". According to the records, Balthazar sold his Quebec property to finance the purchase of the property in St. John's Island from Samuel Holland. Balthazar would have spent 15 years on the Island attempting to cut a home out of the woods. A major problem for Muttart would have been the lack of boys, as his first born were girls. It would also appear that he left his active military career behind as of Oct 14 1781 he was deemed to be "Absent by leave". In 1784, He and several others set out in an open boat from Muddy Cove to go to the capital to get their discharge and the 100 acre grant of land to which they were entitled from the Company of Saint John Volunteer army and all were drowned in a strong southwest wind.
