BOURGEOIS, Jacques
The Bourgeois ancestors of Acadia go back to one person. Their ancestor
Jacques, born in France abt 1619, arrived in the colony as a surgeon abt
1641 on the ship Le Francois. About two years later, he married Jeanne
Trahan, daughter of Guillaume Trahan and Françoise Corbineau. He settled in
Port-Royal. In 1672, he sent some settlers to Beaubassin and is thus
considered the founder of that area. His son Charles, born abt 1646, married
Anne Dugas, d/o Abraham Dugas and Marguerite Doucet abt 1668. Charles and
Anne settled at Beaubassin. Charles Bourgeois son, born abt 1672, married
abt 1692 to Marie Blanchard, d/o Guillaume Blanchard and Huguette Gougeon.
Pierre Bourgeois, born abt 1699, was the second son of Charles and Marie. He
married August 18, 1722 Marie-Françoise Cormier at Beaubassin. She was the
d/o Pierre Cormier and Catherine LeBlanc. The sixth of their eight sons,
Joseph Bourgeois dit Calotte, was born at Beaubassin on March 10, 1741. Abt
1764, he married Félicité Belliveau, daugther of Pierre Belliveau and Jeanne
Gaudet. They settled at Pisiguit and then at Memramcook where Joseph died
November 20, 1833.
All of the other Bourgeois families of southeast New Brunswick, descend from
Germain Bourgeois, second son of the first ancestor.
