I've tried to translate the French version, but it is not very pretty:
Philippe Mius, 1st baron of Pobomcoup 1 (1601-1700) is also known under the name of "Sieur" (Lord) Philippe Mius d'Entremont (ref: Email from R. Charron-Chénier - 7 january 2004)
He may be the son of Béatrice Coligny d'Entremont and Claude Antoine Mius.
Philippe Mius, baron of Pobomcoup and François Virginie Bon, count of Entremont and Montbel are not the same person (ref: (1) email from Mike Talbot - 21 feb 2006; (2) Source of the confusion: email from Gabriel Bourgeois - 4 november 2011, establishes proof that they are two different people).
Birth: He was born 14 November 1601 at Cherbourg, Normandie, France (ref: (1) Internet - e-mail from "Serrod" deTreville (vert@compuzone.net), (2) Email from Gabriel Bourgeois - 4 november 2011 (1600-1609) )
Marriage: He marries Madeleine Helie in 1648 at “Calvados, Normandie” (Personal note: as Calvados refers to a department created in 1790, I don’t know what this means. I don’t see to which place it could refer in 1648). (ref: Internet - e-mail from vert@compuzone.net, 6 september 2002). Philippe Mius, baron of Pobomcoup is “major” of Charles de La Tour (ref: (1) Internet - e-mail from "Serrod" deTreville (vert@compuzone.net), (2) Email from R. Charron-Chénier - 7 january 2004 (lieutenant-major and commander of troops))
Emigration to New France: Philippe immigrates to Acadia, Canada in 1651 during the return trip of Charles de La Tour in 1651 (ref: Email from R. Charron-Chénier - 7 January 2004). He establishes Pubnico, Cap Sable, Acadia (ref: Internet - e-mail from "Serrod" deTreville (vert@compuzone.net)). In 1653 the family lived at Pobomcoup, Acadia: Philippe, Madeleine Hélie and Marguerite (ref: Internet - e-mail from "Serrod" deTreville (vert@compuzone.net)).
Philippe was named “Procureur Général du roy” (Note: as I don’t know what his functions were, won’t attempt to translate) in Acadia in 1670 (ref: same as above). In 1671, Philippe, Madeleine, and their children Philippe, Abraham, Jacques, Marguerite, lived at Pobomcoup. Philippe owned 26 horned beasts, 29 sheep, 12 goats, 20 pigs and six acres of cultivated land (same ref).
He left Pobomcoup after a group of Dutchmen looted his property after 1675 (ref). In 1678 Philippe, Madeleine and the children: Philippe, Marguerite, Abraham and Jacques, lived at Port-Royal, Acadia (ref). In 1679 he lives in Beaubassin, Acadia (ref).
In 1684 he lives at Port-Royal (ref). In 1687 he lives and Grand-Pré, Acadia (ref).
Death: He passed away in 1700 at Grand-Pré (ref). Clément Cormier (ref: Clément Cormier, “MIUS D’ENTREMONT, PHILIPPE,” in Dictionary of Canadian Biography, vol. 1, University of Toronto/Université Laval, 2003–, accessed May 17, 2014 – links) describes his legacy:
"D’Entremont played an important part in the colony’s history both because of what he did as an administrator and because he was one of the rare Acadian seigneurs to concern himself with cultivation and with clearing land; he attracted to his estate “several indentured workers and a few families from Port-Royal [now Annapolis Royal, N.S.] and this seigneury eventually formed a small centre of population... Philippe Mius d’Entremont has left a large number of descendants in Acadia; the barony of Pobomcoup remained in the family until the expulsion of the Acadians; and after more than three centuries some hundred families of the same name can still be counted at Pubnico.” (passage lifted from the English biography section of the profile).
List of Philippe Mius d’Entremont and Madeleine Hélie’s known children:
Marguerite (1650 France – 1714), married Pierre Melanson dit Laverdure in 1655.
Jacques I (of Pobomcoup) (1654 -), married Anne de Saint-Etienne de La Tour, daughter of Charles de La Tour, they settled at Pomcoup (sic).
Abraham (of Pleinmarais) : (1658-1705), married Marguerite de Saint-Etienne de La Tour.
Philippe II (1660 -), married 1) an American-Indian, 2) Marie an American-Indian.
Madeleine: b. 1669. She was 16 at the time of the 1686 census.
Note that I've recently been documenting profiles of people from the fictive C.A. Fernald genealogy and that makes me specially wary of alleged descendants of Gaspard de Coligny.
I'm willing to clean the French biography section (spelling, adding details from the English version once it's validated) if you are interested.
