Biography

French Parent of Acadian Pioneer

Barbe Minguet was born in France by about 1600, based on her having married Martin Aucoin in about 1620. ^[1] Her place of birth is unknown but is likely to have been in or near the region of La Rochelle in Aunis (now Charente-Maritime), France, where she and Martin later had children together.^[2][1]

Barbe and Martin were the parents of Acadian pioneers Michelle Aucoin and Jeanne Aucoin - as well as a son Nicolas Aucoin, who died as a child. It has been indicated that their eldest daughter Michelle, who was born about 10 years prior to Jeanne, may have been from a prior relationship. No record of Michelle's baptism has been identified, but Nicolas and Jeanne were both baptised at Saint-Barthélemy in La Rochelle, Aunis, France.^[1]

Barbe Minguet passed away some time prior to January 1632, as Martin Aucoin remarried, to Marie Sallé, on 20 Jan 1632 at the church of Saint-Barthélemy in La Rochelle. Martin and Barbe's son Nicolas died just ten days after his remarriage and was buried at Saint-Barthélemy on 30 Jan 1632.^[1]

Barbe's daughters Michelle and Jeanne Aucoin would become matriarchs of Acadie - marrying into the Boudrot / Boudreau and Girouard families, respectively. Martin's second wife Marie Sallé also eventually emigrated to Acadie, where she later remarried - but there is no evidence that Martin ever migrated and so may have died in France.^[1]

Recherches DNA Research DNA. Barbe Minguet's daughters were Michelle and Jeanne Aucoin. The Mothers of Acadia Maternal DNA project is conducting ongoing research to verify their origins. In 2010, Stephen White reported that Michelle Aucoin had a Haplogroup H. I don't know the details re how many of her descendants were tested to support this report. Ongoing test results are also reported here. As of May 2014, 2 descendants have consistently reported H haplogroup, indicating European origins. Her sister Jeanne (5 reports) also has H Haplogroup.
