A source calls Michelle, Jeanne and Martin Aucoin pioneers to Acadia, now Nove Scotia. Michelle m. Michel Boudrot, Jeanne married Francois Girard. Then the source states Martin m. Marie Gaudet. If was speculated that we was the son of Martin and Marie Salle and he well might have been but I believe he was not the Martin refered to as pioneer. I believe the Martin referred to as pioneer was Martin who married Marie Salle in France in 1632. We know that she was in Acadie, the widow of Jean Claude according to the 1678 and 1686 census. Martin who married Marie Gaudet was born about 1651, age 35 at the 1686 census. However, Michelle Aucoin was 65, her husband 86 and Jeanne was 55, her husband 70 and Marie Salle was also 86. It would make much more sense to assume that he was probably the brother of Michelle and Jeanne and not their father and that the three came together and married in Port Royal, or were all ready married and brought their families. We know Martin and Marie Salle were married in France. The ages made no sense in trying to make Martin and Marie the parents of Michelle and Jeanne, but sisters fits. If anyone out there has documentation to prove that they were the parents of a Martin who came with Jeanne and Michelle please contact me.
