Charles (dit LA RAME'E) MELANSON was christened in London, England 14 Dec 1642 named Carol Meranzon, designated female, parents are Petri Meranzon and Priscillae.[1][2][3]
Charles came to Acadie with his parents and family which included at least two other children, Pierre and Jean, who sailed from England on the "Satisfaction" with Thomas Temple, the newly appointed governor of Acadia.[4] They originally settled in the St. John River area. After his parents and brother Jean moved to Boston, Charles and Pierre remained in Acadia [5]
The Melanson sons were considered educated.[4] On the 1694 oath of allegiance at Port Royal, Charles MELLANSON could sign his name, making up one of the 29% of those able to do so.[6] He also wrote letters. [7]
Charles had close ties to Boston and the English, possibly giving him a favored status in trade and protection during altercations between the Acadians and English. In 1696, he ask for and received a militia captian commission from Massachusetts Lt, governor William Stoughton..[8]
Charles Melanson and Marie Dugas, daughter of Abraham & Marguerite Doucet married around 1663 in Port-Royal.[9] Following his marriage, they probably settled on the land which we now know as the Melanson Settlement[10] in the Port Royal area. A British document of 1734 states that this land was granted originally to Charles Melanson and "honest" Marie Dugas.[5]
In 1671, Charles lived with Marie, four daughters and had 40 cattle and six sheep.[11] By 1686, his family had increased to seven children at home, and he had acquired a gun, six arpents of land, 12 sheep, six hogs, and half the cattle.[12] Charles continued to prosper; by 1693, he owned 35 arpents, 20 cattle, 25 sheep, 12 hogs and four guns.[13] Five years later he also owns 76 fruit trees on the 35 arpents.[14] He is still living in 1700 at the time of the census, with his wife Marie and four children still at home[15] By the time of the 1701 Census, his wife was counted as a widow with the same five children, no sheep, 10 arpents, nine cattle, and eight hogs.[16]
Charles died at Port-Royal in 1700 or 1701.[17]

The eldest, Marie, was brought up in Boston by her grandmother, strengthening Charles' ties with that colony. Of the other children, eight established households in the Melanson Settlement, where they remained for their adult lives. One daughter settled elsewhere in the Port Royal area, one settled in Beaubassin, and one apparently died.[19]
"L'aîné de ces fils fut Charles, né vers 1643, qui avait épousé Marie Dugas, fille d'Abraham Dugas et de Marguerite Doucet. Ceux-ci ont eu neuf filles et cinq garçons, dont deux, Charles et Jean, sont devenus les ancêtres des Melanson du sud-est du Nouveau-Brunswick"[20] (translation: The eldest of these sons was Charles, born about 1643, who had married Marie Dugas, daughter of Abraham Dugas and Marguerite Doucet. They had nine daughters and five boys, two of whom, Charles and John, became the ancestors of the Melanson of southeastern New Brunswick.)
