Elle dut inhumée le 20 décembre 1707 à Port-Royal, Acadie.
According to Stephen White, the name of the wife or wives of Germain [Doucet] has never been known. Several early writers, such as Bona Arsenault... and Adrien Bergeron... have stated that the wife was Marie Bourgeois, given the documented fact that Germain Doucet and Jacques (Jacob) Bourgeois were brothers-in-law. In his notes, Stephen White states: 'It is not possible that the mother of the childlren of Germain Doucet is a sister of Jacques Bourgeois' wife, as certain authors have proposed, being given that the in-laws of Jacques Bourgeois didn't get married until 1627. There exists the possibility that Germain Doucet nevertheless married in second nuptials, to a daughter of Guillaume Trahan who gave him no surviving children; but it is as possible that such a second wife is the sister of Jacques Bourgeois and not the sister of his wife.'"

DOUCET, Marguerite, came from France with her husband Abraham Dugas, according to her great-grandson Alain LeBlanc (Doc. ind., Vol. III, p. 50). This deposition does not name her, but Marguerite is identified as Abraham's wife and ultimately widow by four Acadian censuses between 1671 and 1700 and by her burial record in the register of Port-Royal (see DGFA-1, p. 526).

According to Stephen White[1]: "It is not possible for the mother of Germain Doucet's children to have been a sister of Jacques Bourgeois wife, as some writers have claimed, considering that Bourgeois' father and mother-in-law were only married in 1627. It is nevertheless possible that Germain Doucet married secondly Guillaume Trahan's daughter, who subsequently gave him no children who survived in Acadia, but it is also possible that his second wife was Jacques Bourgeois's sister and not his wife's sister."
Biography
Flag of France
Marguerite Doucet migrated from France to Acadia.
Flag of Acadia
Marguerite Doucet is the ancestral matriarch of the Acadian Dugas family. She was born around 1625 based on censuses, and likely in France since there wasn't a permanent settlement of families in Acadie at the time of her birth.[2][3] Marguerite was the daughter of Germain Doucet and and an unknown mother. See discussion regarding the identity of her mother.
Marguerite married Abraham Dugas around 1647.[2]
Between about 1648 and 1667, the couple had eight children: Marie, Claude, Anne, Martin, Marguerite, Abraham, Madeleine, and Marie.[2] The family lived together in Port Royal in 1671[4] when she used the name Marie Judith. By 1678 the family had only three children living at home. [5]
In 1686, all the children had grown and gone, and Abraham and Marguerite were a couple living alone[6]. Their solitude did not last long, however, because by 1693 their oldest son Claude was living with them along with his wife and 10 children. Perhaps they were tending to the family homestead as by now Abraham was 74. The farm had grown significantly to 26 arpents[7].
After about 50 years of marriage, Abraham died before the 1700 Census, as Marguerite is now a widow still living in Port Royal with her son Claude and his family.[8].
Marguerite died on December 19 1707 at Port-Royal. She was buried at the St-Laurent Chapel.[2][9]
DNA
The Mothers of Acadia Maternal DNA project is conducting ongoing research to verify their origins. As of May 2020, Stephen White reported that Marguerite Doucet had a Haplogroup T2b. Ongoing test results are also reported here. Six descendants have consistently reported a T2 haplogroup, indicating European origins.
Descendants According to the act of the marriage rehabilitation of their daughter Marguerite David (Rg Bailly [Caraquet] Halifax June 4, 1769), Alexandre David and Marguerite Theriot belonged to the "parish of Beaubassin". But the only Thériot family who lived in Beaubassin at the time of Alexander David's marriage with Marguerite Theriot would have been that of Jean Theriot and Madeleine Bourg. This finding leads us to conclude that Marguerite Thériot was to be the daughter of these. This is confirmed by the result of a DNA test mitochondrial of a descendant of Marguerite who suggests that she was descended from the maternal side of Marguerite Doucet (and Abraham Dugas). Yet, Marguerite Doucet was the mother of Marie Dugas who had as daughter Élisabeth Melanson, who was the mother of Madeleine Bourg, wife of Jean Thériot. Indeed, we find that Madeleine Bourg's children were the only Theriot of their generation whose maternal lineage goes back to Marguerite Doucet. The wife Alexander David could only be one of his children. (google translation[10]
Research Notes
According to researchers Suzette Leclair and K.G. Gauthier, the absence of dispensations in several marriage records of descendants of Pierre, Marguerite and Germain Doucet could indicate that Pierre and Marguerite weren't siblings, nor siblings of Germain. See article "Les Doucet d'Acadie: second regard sur les registres" [11]

Biographie
Marguerite est née vers 1625 en France.[2]
Elle épousa Abraham Dugas vers 1647.[2]
Entre 1648 et 1667 environ, le couple a eu huit enfants: Marie, Claude, Anne, Martin, Marguerite, Abraham, Madeleine, et Marie.[2]
Marguerite est décédée le 19 décembre 1707 à Port-Royal et a été inhumée le lendemain dans le “cimetière du haut de la rivière de la chapelle de Saint-Laurent .[9][2]
Mère Selon Stephen White[2]: "Il n'est pas possible que la mère des enfants de Germain Doucet soit une soeur de la femme de Jacques Bourgeois comme certains auteurs font prétendre, étant donné que les beaux-parents de ce dernier ne se sont mariés qu'en 1627. Il existe néanmoins la possibilité que Germain Doucet se soit marié en deuxième noces à une fille de Guillaume Trahan qui ne lui a donné aucun enfant survivant, mais il est aussi possible que sa seconde femme soit la soeur de Jacques Bourgeois et non pas la soeur de sa femme."
Descendants Selon l'acte de la rehabilitation du mariage de leur fille Marguerite David (Rg Bailly [Caraquet] Halifax 4 juin 1769), Alexandre David et Marguerite Thériot appartenaient à ±la paroisse de Beaubassin. Or, la seule famille Thériot qui habitait Beaubassin à l'époque du mariage d'Alexandre David avec Marguerite Thériot aurait été celle de Jean Thériot et de Madeleine Bourg. Cette constatation nous amène à conclure que Marguerite Thériot devait être la fille de ces derniers. Ceci est confirmé par le résultat d'un test de l'ADN mitochondrial d'un descendant de Marguerite qui suggère qu'elle descendait du côté maternel de Marguerite Doucet (et d'Abraham Dugas). Or, Marguerite Doucet était la mère de Marie Dugas qui avait comme fille Élisabeth Melanson, qui était la mère de Madeleine Bourg, épouse de Jean Thériot. En effet, nous trouvons que les enfants de Madeleine Bourg étaient les seuls Thériot de leur génération dont la lignée maternelle remonte à Marguerite Doucet. L'épouse d'Alexandre David ne pouvait alors être qu'une de ses enfants.
