Nicole Colleson was born about 1607 in Loudun, Poitou, France.[1] Both the census of 1671 and 1686 support this birth year.
She was married to an unknown husband before she married Jean Gaudet, as White refers to her as "prob vve ------" (probably a widow). [1]
Nicole (44) married Jean Gaudet (76) (born about 1575 in Martaizé, Loudun) in 1652 in Acadie. Their known son was Jean Gaudet (abt. 1653–1694).[1]
She lived the rest of her life in Port Royal, first with Jean[2][3], later as a widow[4], and finally with her son Jean[5].
In 1686, at Port Royal, Nicole COLSON [sic], aged 80, was living with her son Jean GODET [sic], aged 45 [sic], and her daughter-in-law, Jeanne HENRY, aged 30, and children from Jean's first marriage: Francoise, aged 13, and Jean, aged 12. Also living with them were 3 other children from Jean's first marriage. The family owned 1 gun and was living on 4 arpents of cultivable land with 4 cattle, 4 sheep and 3 hogs.[6]
She died after the 1686 Census.[1]
Removed supposed parents Nicolas Coleson (1577-) Genevieve Petit (bef.1585-bef.1645) as no documentation has been put forth for them, not even enough to be considered uncertain. See also this G2G conversation about the father definitely not hers: G2G research
No precise location of birth in France is given by Stephen A. White or other respected genealogists. Origins in Loudun, Poitou, is attributed to many Acadians in unsourced family trees. Birth location marked uncertain in this profile.
Historian André-Carl Vachon makes an hypothesis in his book La colonisation de l'Acadie: 1632-1654, that Nicole Colleson and her first husband, whose name is unknown, travelled to Acadie in 1648 aboard La Verve de Middlebourg. Other possible passengers on that ship, among others, were Antoine Belliveau, Bernard Bugaret, François Savoie. [7]
Jean GAUDET 96, wife, Nicole COLLESON 64; Child: Jean 18, cattle 6, sheep 3.
at Port Royal: Nicole COLSON 80. Jean GODET her son 45, Jeanne HENRY his wife 30; children: Francoise 13, Jean 12, and three other children by his first wife: 1 gun, 4 arpents, 4 cattle, 4 sheep, 3 hogs. In the original 1686 census at Port Royal, Colleson was listed as Colson and Gaudet was listed as Godet.
Comme elle s'est mariée vers 1652, il faut qu'elle soit arrivée entre 1644 et 1650. Pourquoi? (...) en 1644 il y avait 20 familles (en Acadie) et nous ne croyons pas que cette famille était du nombre. Puis, le navire Le Fort arrive en Acadie le 23 septembre 1651, nous pensons que c'est un peu juste dans le temps pour s'installer en Acadie et ensuite fréquenter le veuf Jean Gaudet et l'épouser en 1652. Toutefois, il y a une possibilité.
