    P. Gallant: We do not know Antoine Belliveau's place of origin, nor the date of his arrival in Acadia. As the names Belliveau and Guyon (or Guillon) appear many times in the parish registers of La Chaussee (Poitou), it is possible that Antoine came from that region.?

    Notes:

    Abraham Dugas is the ancestral partriarch of the Acadian Dugas family. Abraham was born around 1616 in France. His parents are not known, but one theory is that they are Abraham Dugas and Marguerite Carsonne. They have not been connected because there is no evidence to support their inclusion. Stephen White suggests that Chouppes, in the diocese of Poitiers, France could be the place of origin of the Acadian DUGAS family. His ancestors were from Lyonnals and their original name was Crignet.
    Abraham Dugas, the first name that came to America, he left Toulouse
    and arrived in Port-Royal around 1640, where he was given the designation of Lieutenant General. He was armourer to the king.
    He married Marguerite-Louise Doucet around 1647 in Port Royal.
    Between about 1648 and 1667, the couple had eight children: Marie, Claude, Anne, Martin, Marguerite, Abraham, Madeleine, and Marie. Abraham owned a lot adjoining the side of the old Fort (which, according to Stephen White was expropriated in 1701 to extend the Fort in Port-Royal). It is not clear how long the family lived there.
    When their third child Anne was born in 1654, Port-Royal was captured by Robert Sedgwick, who led 300 British soldiers and volunteers.
    The [French] soldiers at Port-Royal, who numbered about 130 ? put up a brief defense against Sedgwick. Setting up an ambush between the landing site of the English troops and the fort, the Frenchmen fired on the attackers but proved no match for the experienced Roundheads. The French soon "took their heels to ye Fort." On August 16 the fort surrendered... Sedgwick granted honorable terms, allowing the defenders to march out of the fort with flags flying, drums beating, and muskets at the ready. The soldiers and employees working at the fort were offered transportation back to France and given enough pelts to cover their wages.
    Although the commander of Port Royal left for France, most Acadians, including the Dugas family, remained in Acadia. They were permitted to retain their land and belongings and were guaranteed religious freedom. Dunn describes life in Acadia during the 16 years of nominal British rule
    "During the years of British rule, most of the Port-Royal population moved upriver away from the town. Using the agricultural practices initiated under D'Aulnay, the Acadians dyked and cultivated extensive salt marshes along the river and raised livestock. Through necessity, residents had reached an accommodation with New England traders who had become their sole source for the goods that they could not produce themselves... New England traders exchanged their goods for Acadian produce and furs... There were seventy to eighty families in the Port Royal area in 1665."
    The 1671 census of Port-Royal lists Abraham, a gunsmith age 55, living with his wife Marie Judith (sic) Doucet, 46, and their 8 children. They own 15 "arpents" of land, 19 head of cattle and 3 sheep.
    By 1671 the British had ceded Acadia to France and French settlement resumed. Abraham was involved with the rebuilding of Port Royal:
    In June 1673 men from the St. Jean Baptiste parish in the Port-Royal area met at the request of their church trustee, Abraham Dugas, to organize funding for construction of a parish church... Mass was being held in a borrowed room. The Acadians had maintained their faith throughout the long period of English rule.
    In 1678 there are 3 children living in the Dugas household. Abraham and Marguerite own 20 head of cattle, 12 "arpents" of land and 1 gun.
    In 1686, the children had flown the nest and Abraham and Marguerite were living on their own. Within four years, their relative peace would be shattered by King William's War (1689-1697) with France.
    In May 1690, Sir William Phipps captured Port Royal, destroyed the church, plundered the settlement, and forced the inhabitants to swear an oath of allegiance to the English crown. He appointed Charles La Tourasse, a former sergeant of the French garrison, to serve as English commandant and leader of a council to keep the peace and administer justice. Phipps left Port-Royal within 12 days of arrival. Before the end of the summer, seamen from two ships looted Port-Royal and burned and looted between 28 and 35 homes and habitations including the parish church.
    An English garrison was never established, possibly because the inhabitants refused to guarantee that the Indians would not attack if one was formed. Dunn describes the feelings of the residents during this unsettling time:
    Throughout this period of nominal English rule, French and English vessels anchored at Port-Royal at will, contributing to a sense of unease among the residents. New England vessels came to trade, to check on the inhabitants, and to take French prizes. When the English were not around, French privateers operated out of the port, attracting local young men as crew with the promise of plunder, and outfitting the ships from local suppliers... Port-Royal residents did not always appreciate the presence of the French privateers.
    In 1693, an encounter between the vessel of French privateer Pierre Masisonnat dit Baptiste and an English frigate brought further misery. English investigations into the role of Acadians' assistance of privateer Baptiste resulted in the burning of nearly a dozen homes and three barns of unthreshed grain. At that time Abraham and Marguerite were living with their son Claude and his family. Claude's farm was situated west of the Fort on the south side of the Dauphin (Annapolis) River.
    Abraham may have lived long enough to witness the effects of the 1697 Treaty of Ryswick, when Acadia was restored to France with Port-Royal its capital. He died between 1693 and 1700. His wife is listed as a widow in the 1700 Census.

    Abraham Dugas, the first name that came to America, was left Toulouse in 1640, to go s'establir Acadia. His ancestors were from Lyonnals.
    Their original name was Crignet. In the seventeenth century, a member of this family was distinguished by prominent military, he was created a Knight of St. Louis and received the king a large area, called the field of Gas. Its crest as it keeps the Dugas of Lyon, was by mouth with the chief two swords in saltire and in quince peak.

    According to a memorial attributed to Lamothe-Cadillac, Abraham Dugas "carried out the functions of general representative of the King in civil and criminal matters ."

    5 Oct 1687: Abraham Dugas made his mark on an attestation in favor of Governor d'Aulnay's accomplishments on 5 Oct 1687; he had thus arrived in Acadia before 1650, the year of d'Aulnay's death.

    2 Dec 1705: Expropriation of two lots "adjoining and drawing towards the old fort," and belonging to Abraham Dugas, for the extension of the fort at Port-Royal. As Abraham Dugas had been dead for over five years, one must suppose that his heirs were the actual owners of this land in 1705.?

    DNA. The Mothers of Acadia Maternal DNA project is conducting ongoing research to verify their origins. In 2010, Stephen White reported that Marguerite Doucet had a Haplogroup T2b. I don't know the details regarding how many of her descendants were tested to support this report. Ongoing test results are also reported here. As of May 2014, 7 descendants have consistently reported a T2 haplogroup, indicating European origins.
    Mother. Selon Stephen White[1]: "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."
    According to Stephen White[2]: "It is not possible that 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, bit it is also possible that his second wife was Jacques Bourgeois's sister and not his wife's sister."
