Jeanne Trahan is the ancestral matriarch of the Acadian Bourgeois family.
Jeanne was born in France around 1629 to parents Guillaume Trahan and Françoise Corbineau. Jeanne's place of birth is presumed to be Bourgueil in Anjou, since that is where the family was identified as being from in 1636. Her father was an armourer, a maker of weapons and knives. The family was on the ship's roster of the ship Saint-Jehan bound for Acadia on 1 April 1636: "Guillaume Trahan, an edge-tool maker, with his wife and two children, and a valet, also from Bourgeuil".[1][2] Jeanne was apparently one of the 2 children.[3]
Around 1643, presumably in Port-Royal, Jeanne married Jacques Bourgeois, a surgeon.[4] Between about 1644 and 1667, she gave birth to 10 children: Jeanne, Charles, Germain, Marie (b.c1652, m.Germain Girouard), Guillaume, Marguerite, Françoise, Anne, Marie (b.c1665 m. Antoine LeBlanc), and Jeanne.[4]
Her husband Jacques was the founder of Beaubassin (Amherst, Nova Scotia, Canada)[5], but the family maintained a presence in Port-Royal as they are listed in the census for the years 1671[6]1678, [7] 1686, [8], and 1693[9] Their sons were living in Beaubassin in 1686 and 1693. In 1698[10] Jeanne and Jacques were living at Beaubassin with son Germain, but Jacques returned to Port-Royal before his death in 1701.[4][11]
Jeanne died sometime after the 1698 Census.
Note
DNA. Jeanne's mother was Françoise Corbineau. The Mothers of Acadia Maternal DNA project is conducting ongoing research to verify their origins. In 2010, Stephen White reported Françoise Corbineau had an H1 haplogroup. I don't know the details re how many of her descendants were tested to support this report. Leblanc Constantino reported one tree here. Ongoing test results are also reported here. As of May 2014, 4 descendants have reported an H haplogroup, indicating European origins. A link to the family tree of a WikTree member`s mtDNA results is provided on the upper right corner of this profile.
