Guillaume Trahan; born 1611, Montreuil-Belley,Maine-et-Loire,France.Guillaume, his wife Francoise Charbonneau whom he married in 1628,two children and a hired hand, were passengers on the ship "Saint-Jehan" in1636. One daughter Jeanne born 1629,the other child presumably died asthere is no subsequent record. Guillaume soon became one of the most influential and highly respected citizens of Port Royal and he was also one of the most prominent. In the ensuing years Guillaume Trahan's name shows up among those of authority in Acadia. In 1654, thesignatures on an Act of the surrender of Port Royal included that of Guillaume,representative of the inhabitants.
Guillaume served as marshal (toolsmith) of Bourgeil, France the town where he emigrated from. The circumstances that brought Guillaume and his family to the new world may never be known. But it could well be that in1634 a sentence had been issued against a group of residents of the town and Guillaume's name was among the lot. He was charged and fined with illegally cutting wood for his hearth from the private forest of a top minister of the French Government. Persons from various walks of life were also listed and fined, including members of the clergy.Guillaume in a second marriage to Madeleine Brun in 1666, daughter of Vincent Brun and Renee Breaux, he had six children with her.This marriage was the results of all the future Trahan's in Acadia and Louisiana.Source: Avery & DesLauriers (and Allied families) by Eileen Avery,(ib4eexcept@aol.com)Source: Avery & DesLauriers (and Allied families) by Eileen Avery,(ib4eexcept@aol.com)
