1529 I am interested in these postings re the Walshes in Plympton as I have been trying to find some link between several individuals.

My g-g-grandfather is the Walter Walsh (Catherine Melanson) you mention in your posting. He was born in Halifax, N.S. shortly after the family arrived from Ireland (parents Thomas Walsh and Mary Landrigan/Lonegan); unfortunately his parents died within a year and the children were apparently taken in by Catholic families. I have at least two individuals we believe are siblings (Martin Walsh Sr and Anne Walsh who also were raised inPlympton, N.S. but have been unable as yet to find proof of their relationship).

I have quite a bit of information on Walter and his descendants if interested. I am familiar with the houses you mention. There were actually three in a row in Plympton: the two you mention plus an additional one next door built by one of Walter's other sons, James ("Jim") Walsh who also resided in Massachusetts but travelled to Plympton. I recently found the gravesite for Walter's son John Pius Walsh in Port Hood, Cape Breton. Not much information is known about this particular individual.

I would be interested in ANY info you have.

1530 I, a descendant, ID: LYFN-S47, submit the following description:
Ancestor Rosalie Comeau (pronounced ?Coh-MOH,? with various spellings) was an Acadian (colonial French-culture living in present-day Nova Scotia). Her parents had a place in the village of Pisiquit, a settlement along the Pisiquit River; refer to ?Pisiquit,? in Wikipedia. The Comeau family is described by Bona Arsenault in ?Histoire et Genealogie des Acadiens,? Vol. 4, page 1366. According to Arsenault, Rosalie was a twin, born around 1720. She married twice; first to Michel Caissey and then to Jean Baptist Perial and lived in the Acadian village of Beaubassin, destroyed in 1750 to prevent its capture by the British army. The Caissey family fled to Isle St. Jean (Prince Edward Island) and ancestor Comeau was there in 1755 (age 35 years). After this date, she disappears from the records; the French at Isle St. Jean were captured in 1758 and most were imprisoned or deported. It is not known if she survived the Diaspora but there is no record of her immigration to Louisiana. She is presumed dead before the end of the French and Indian War (1754-1763).
Ancestor Commeau is also described in Phoebe Chauvin Morrison, ?Generations ? Past to Present,? Vol. 1, page 91. There is a descending genealogy of ancestors Caissey and Comeau presented in Janet Jehn, ?Acadian Descendants,? Vol. II, beginning on page 360. 
Comeau, Rosalie (I9926)
 
1531 I, a descendant, ID: LYFN-S47, submit the following description:
Ancestors Roger (pronounced ?Row-ZHAY?) and Dugas (pronounced ?DO-Gah?) were one of the enduring stories of the Acadian Exodus. Their lives came together as neighbors; they were new colonists of Louisiana?s ?Acadian Coast of the Mississippi River,? presently Ascension Parish. They had a place on the right-descending (western), about 3 miles downstream of the present-day city of Donaldsonville, Louisiana. Roger was a single young man aged 21 years but Dugas was 27 and married with children.
Dugas was an Acadian born in New Brunswick on the St. John River. Dugas and Roger were unacquainted before the War. She was 14 years old when the trouble began. The Dugas family fled before the British Army to Isle St. Jean where they were captured and imprisoned at Halifax. It was in detention that she married another Acadian, Amable Robichaux. This union produced 3 children (known to the author) during captivity. They were released in 1763 and they sailed to Haiti. By 1764, they had a place on the right-descending (western) bank of Louisiana?s ?Acadian Coast of the Mississippi River,? presently Ascension Parish, about three miles downstream from the modern city of Donaldsonville. It was in Louisiana that Robichaux died in 1766.
According to "Ancestral File," database, FamilySearch(https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/2:1:MWN5-S8V : accessed 2015-07-01), entry for Joseph CAISSY DIT ROGER, ancestor Dugas, the widow robichaux, on 2 Nov 1769 entered into second marriage with a neighbor, Joseph Roger. Their union produced 6 known children between 1770 and 1771 on the ?Acadian Coast.? Around the time of the Louisiana Purchase (1803), Roger moved the family (that included the Robichaux children) to a place on Bayou Lafourche in present-day Lafourche Parish, Louisiana. They were enumerated in the 1810 U.S. census. Dugas died 3 Aug 1811 at the age of 72 years and was buried in the Catholic cemetery at present-day Thibodaux. Roger survived Dugas by 7 years and died on 18 Jul 1818 at the age of 73 years. He was also buried in the St. Joseph cemetery.

1532 In 1659, André, son of Daniel Leblanc and Françoise-Marie Gaudet, was born in Port-Royal.

In 1672, after decades of living under the seigneural system with its feudal control over them, the Acadians and began to look elsewhere for new areas to settle. Port-Royal?s resident surgeon, Jacques Bourgeois, with a few others, sailed north to explore the inlets and estuaries along the neck of land connecting peninsular Nova Scotia to the mainland, known as the Isthmus of Chignecto.

The western part of the isthmus is an expanse of open wetlands, sparsely treed, much of it close to sea-level. Ordinarily unusable as farmland because of the high salt content impregnating the intertidal soil, the Acadians had a unique skill learned in similar coastal areas of France, that allowed them to forgo the strenuous work of clearing thick forest and instead, farm the treeless soil below the high-tide line using an ingenious device called an aboiteau (plural: aboiteaux): a dike (Fr: levée), holding the sea at bay while successive rains gradually flushed salt out of the alluvial soil into sluices with clever built-in valves called clapets that opened and closed with the tides; the falling sea at ebb tide releasing pressure on the sea-side of the wooden valves, allowing the weight of the accumulated runoff to push open the clapets and drain away, and the returning flood tide pushing the clapets shut, preventing the rising sea from back flowing into the sluices. After two or three years, the saline content of the otherwise fertile soil was low enough that the land became arable, and bountiful; supporting huge harvests.

A short distance up one of the rivers Jacques Bourgeois and his partners founded a farming settlement that they named Mésagouèche (the adjoining river thus became the Missaguash River). As more families from Port-Royal joined them they referred to it simply as: the Bourgeois Colony.

In the late 1670s, the governor of New France, Louis de Buade Comte de Frontenac, anxious to reinforce France?s hold over Acadia, assigned administrative control of the troublesome colony to Michel Leneuf de la Vallière, and granted him a wide swath of the Isthme-de-Chignectou as a seigneury (fief). Leneuf founded a colony just across the Missaguash River from the Bourgeois Colony. He named his new colony Beaubassin (?Beautiful Basin?).

Despite Governor Frontenac?s intention that the Bourgeois Colony remain independent of Michel Leneuf?s seigneury, their close proximity to each other inevitably melded them together and the name Bourgeois Colony disappeared; the entire area afterwards referred to as Beaubassin.

Soon afterwards, Pierre Melanson dit la Verdure and Marie-Marguerite Mius d?Entremont led a few other Port-Royal families on a colonizing expedition north to a large sheltered bay they named Bassin-de-Minas (Minas Basin) where they established the colony Grand-Pré (?Great Meadow?); the area as a whole sometimes referred to as, Les Minas.

Over the next ten years, more families arrived in Les Minas and the available farmland around Grand-Pré was used up. Newcomers spread eastward along the banks of a deep estuary and its tributaries (present-day Avon River); an area they named Pisiguit.

In 1683, André Leblanc married Marie-Jeanne Dugas, daughter of Abraham Dugas and Marguerite-Louise Doucet, in Port-Royal.

In 1684, Jean, son of André Leblanc and Marie-Jeanne Dugas, was born in Port-Royal.

In 1686, André Leblanc and Marie-Jeanne Dugas move their family to Grand-Pré.

In 1689, the settlement of Cobequid was established at the eastern end of Bassin-de-Minas.

In the spring of 1690, New England militia led by Sir William Phips landed at Port-Royal. With its unfinished stockade and eighteen cannons out of firing position, Governor Meneval saw no point in resistance and surrendered the fort. The Acadians were allowed to stay, but were asked to swear allegiance to King William, an oath they feared would obligate them to fight against France and their native allies. Phips? troops sacked the fort and the nearby farms but did not consolidate their victory by providing an occupation force, instead withdrawing to Boston with Port-Royal?s seventy-man garrison and Governor Meneval as prisoners, leaving the leadership of Port-Royal in the hands of a council of locals that included Daniel Leblanc.

In the 1693 census of Grand-Pré, André Leblanc and Marie-Jeanne Dugas own 8 horned cattle, 3 sheep, 5 pigs, almost 8 acres of cultivated land and 1 gun.

About 1696, Daniel Leblanc, patriarch of the Leblanc surname in Acadia, died. By the year of Daniel?s death, most of his family had left the volatile Port-Royal basin and moved north to Grand-Pré. Only Pierre remained near Port-Royal, having inherited his father?s land.

In 1696, New England militia led by Benjamin Church attacked Beaubassin, burning buildings, slaughtering livestock and killing some of its inhabitants, but most fled inland and hid-out. The following year the Treaty of Ryswick ended King William?s War and restored Acadia to France.

In the 1701 census of Grand-Pré, André Leblanc and Marie-Jeanne Dugas have 5 sons, 2 daughters, 8 horned cattle, 5 sheep, 8 pigs, 3 acres of land (currently under cultivation) and 1 gun.

In 1704, Jean Leblanc, son of André Leblanc and Marie-Jeanne Dugas, married Jeanne Bourgeois, daughter of Guillaume Bourgeois and Marie-Anne d'Aprendestiguy de Martignon. Jeanne Bourgeois was also the great-granddaughter of Charles de Saint-Étienne de La Tour, the former governor of Acadia, who produced a daughter, Jeanne, with an Amerindian woman. Jeanne married into the d'Aprendestiguy de Martignon family, and her granddaughter was Jeanne Bourgeois.

In June 1704, New England militia, again led by Benjamin Church attacked Acadia with a force of seven hundred Bostonians and Massachusetts natives. At Grand-Pré, Church's soldiers sacked the colony, killing livestock, burning houses, and breaking open the salt-marsh dikes which flooded the enclosed farmland with seawater, threatening to destroy the land?s usefulness for several years; but after Church?s men left the Acadians quickly repaired the dikes, saving the soil from complete salt saturation and allowing them to plant crops the following year. Leblancs living in Les Mines at the time included the families of Jean, André, and Jacques.

Church then sailed to Port-Royal, but the fort repulsed all his probing attacks and ultimately he gave up, finding the French defenders too well-entrenched. After ravaging a few of the surrounding farms he left, turning north for Chignecto Bay and attacked Beaubassin.

When the soldiers sailed away, they took forty-five prisoners with them to Boston, to exchange for New Englanders captured in a French attack earlier that year.

In 1707, the Acts of Union united the crowns of England and Scotland into a single entity: Great Britain. The current monarch, Queen Anne, was now Queen of Great Britain and Ireland.

In 1710, a fleet of English and New England ships commanded by General Francis Nicholson, sailed into Port-Royal basin with two thousand troops and laid siege to the fort. After a few days of bombardment Governor Subercase surrendered. The French troops were paroled back to France but the Acadian civilians were allowed to stay for two years. Port-Royal was renamed Annapolis Royal and given a small occupation force and a military commander.

In 1713, the Treaty of Utrecht ended The War of Spanish Succession in Europe and its North American extension: Queen Anne?s War. France ceded Acadia and Newfoundland to England but retained the St. Lawrence valley and the islands of the Gulf of St. Lawrence, including Île Saint-Jean and Île Royale.

As part of the treaty, France evacuated its colonists in Newfoundland to the fishing port of Havre à l'Anglois on Île Royale. The French authorities began building a fortress on the rocky headland above the harbour mouth: they named it Louisbourg. But when they tried to bring the Nova Scotia Acadians north and re-establish them on Île Royale, the Acadians were reluctant to leave their existing fertile lands around the Bay of Fundy for the hardship of starting over on a rocky island (reputed to be a poor place for pasturing animals and crop growth), with its very real threat of famine.

About 1720, ships carrying three hundred farmers, fisherman, craftsmen and thirty soldiers, arrived in Louisbourg from France. Their job was to develop Île Saint-Jean as a new source of food. The expedition continued on to the island where some of the colonists chose a deep bay on the northern shore as a sheltered place to build a home port for their new cod fishery. They named it Havre Saint-Pierre (St. Peter?s Bay). The remaining colonists sailed around the island to the southern shore where they entered a large, crenelated bay and started clearing ground on the west side of the harbour entrance, for a new colony headquarters. They named it Port-la-Joie (Port la Joye).

In 1730, François, grandson of André Leblanc and Marie-Jeanne Dugas, was born in Grand-Pré.

In 1743, André Leblanc, son of Daniel Leblanc and Françoise-Marie Gaudet, died in Grand Pré.

1533 In 1686, the steward of the "Nouvelle France," Mr. de Meules, orders a new general census of Acadia, where we can read: "Antoine Hebert-72 years; Genevieve Lefranc-80 years; Jehan Hebert-32 years; Doucet Anne-22 years; Jacques-9 years; Pierre-7 years; Jehan-5 years, Jehanne-3 years; and Joseph-2 months old. Jehan (Jean) married Anne Doucet in 1676 in Port-Royal and lived at that time with his parents. After the death of his father in October, 1687, Jehan and his family leave to settle in the parish of Grand-Pre where they cultivate their land, putting up kikes to prevent the high tides from flooding their low lands. He is a prosperous settler and has more than 10 children. In 1703, he still has with him 6 boys and 4 girls. It is said that the 3 boys are old enough to bear arms since they were at war with England. The boy's names are Jacques (26 years), Rene (14 years), and Christophe (12 years). They participate in the battle of July 2, 1704 and help repel the 1300 Englishmen who landed at Port-Royal.

1535 In September 1939, the United Kingdom and the self-governing dominions, with Ireland excepted, declared war on Nazi Germany. George VI and his wife resolved to stay in London despite German bombing raids. They officially stayed in Buckingham Palace throughout the war, though they usually spent nights at Windsor Castle. The first night of the Blitz on London, on 7 September 1940, killed about one thousand civilians, mostly in the East End. On the 13th of September, the King and Queen narrowly avoided death when two German bombs exploded in a courtyard at Buckingham Palace while they were there. In defiance, the Queen declared: "I am glad we have been bombed. It makes me feel we can look the East End in the face." The royal family were portrayed as sharing the same dangers and deprivations as the rest of the country. They were subject to British rationing restrictions, and U.S. First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt remarked on the rationed food served and the limited bathwater that was permitted during a stay at the unheated and boarded-up Palace. In August 1942, the King's brother, the Duke of Kent, was killed on active service.

In 1940, Winston Churchill replaced Neville Chamberlain as Prime Minister, though personally George would have preferred to appoint Lord Halifax. After the King's initial dismay over Churchill's appointment of Lord Beaverbrook to the Cabinet, he and Churchill developed "...the closest personal relationship in modern British history between a monarch and a Prime Minister." Every Tuesday, for four and a half years from September 1940, the two men met privately for lunch to discuss the war in secret and with frankness. The King has related much of what the two discussed in his diary, which is the only extant first-hand account of these conversations.

Throughout the war, the King and Queen provided morale-boosting visits throughout the United Kingdom, visiting bomb sites, munitions factories, and troops. The King visited military forces abroad in France in December 1939, North Africa and Malta in June 1943, Normandy in June 1944, southern Italy in July 1944, and the Low Countries in October 1944. Their high public profile and apparently indefatigable determination secured their place as symbols of national resistance. At a social function in 1944, the Chief of the Imperial General Staff, Field Marshal Sir Alan Brooke, revealed that every time he met Field Marshal Sir Bernard Montgomery, he thought Montgomery was after his job. The King replied: "You should worry, when I meet him, I always think he's after mine!"

In 1945, crowds shouted, "We want the King!" in front of Buckingham Palace during the Victory in Europe Day celebrations. In an echo of Chamberlain's appearance, the King invited Churchill to appear with the royal family on the balcony to public acclaim.

In January 1946, George addressed the United Nations at their first assembly, which was held in London, and reaffirmed, "...our faith in the equal rights of men and women and of nations great and small."

Ultimately, George VI's reign saw the acceleration of the dissolution of the British Empire. The Statute of Westminster 1931 had already acknowledged the evolution of the Dominions into separate sovereign states. The process of transformation from an empire to a voluntary association of independent states, known as the Commonwealth, gathered pace after the Second World War. During the ministry of Clement Attlee, British India became the two independent dominions of India and Pakistan in 1947. George relinquished the title of Emperor of India, and became King of India and King of Pakistan instead. In 1950 he ceased to be King of India when it became a republic within the Commonwealth and recognized his new title of Head of the Commonwealth; he remained King of Pakistan until his death. Other countries left the Commonwealth, such as Burma in January 1948, Palestine (divided between Israel and the Arab states) in May 1948 and the Republic of Ireland in 1949.

In 1947, the King and his family toured Southern Africa.The Prime Minister of the Union of South Africa, Jan Smuts, was facing an election and hoped to make political capital out of the visit. George was appalled, however, when instructed by the South African government to shake hands only with whites, and referred to his South African bodyguards as "the Gestapo." Despite the tour, Smuts lost the election the following year, and the new government instituted a strict policy of racial segregation.

1545 Israel Sabin lived in Rehoboth continuing the family trade as miller until he and his mother sold their share of the mill and homestead in 1700. Styled husbandman or yeoman in later deeds, he moved to Swansea c1712. He, "of Swanzey" on 7 May 1717, with wife Elizabeth and mother Mary Sabin sold Rehoboth land that had been part of the estate of Samuel Sabin, Sr. In the last record found, Israel Sabin was of Barrington 26 Mar 1718 when he sold his right of commonage in Rehoboth. It is probable that he died soon afterward, for his children scattered at an early age. No probate record in Bristol County has been discovered.

1549 It is believed that Francois Savoie's father is Tomasco Francesco, a/k/a Thomas Francis, Prince of Carignano. Francois may have been an illegitimate child, therefore, his mother is not known. That may be a reason why he moved to Acadie, Nova Scotia, Canada.

!COMMENT: HOUSE of SAVOY, S*A*D - Society of Acadian Descendants tidbit #26-A,

"Savoy Heritage" by Louis Germain Savoy, p. 19, Private publ., 1983, also the Columbia Encylcopedia, publ. 1935, and also Grolier Encylcopedia, Prodigy version, 1992, and also Royal research by Michael W. Talbot, Metaire, LA, consisting of computer file on hard disk listing royal ancestors back to the year 960.
"Francois SAVOY was born in 1621 at Turin, Piedmont, Savoy, Italy. His father is believed to be Thomas Francis, Prince of Carignano, Duke of Savoy, 1596 - 1656, and his mother Marie de Soissons de Bourbon, 1606 - 1692. By virtue of his birth, Francois was also a Prince. Turin, Piedmont, Savoy, Italy, is the seat, and residence, of the family of the House of Savoy. It is also where the Shroud of Turin, which belongs to the House of Savoy, is safeguarded. The area is loosely regarded as Savoy. Therefore, an ordinary citizen would be known as de Savoy, [of/from the area of Savoy], also members of the Savoy family are known as de Savoy. Thomas Francis was the 2nd, and youngest son born to Charles Emmanuel I, Duke of Savoy from 1580 - 1630. His uncle [his father's brother] Victor Amadeus I, became the Duke of Savoy in 1630 and sired two sons who were both very young when he died in 1637. Francis Hyacinthe I, born in 1632 was only 5 years old when his father died, passing the House of Savoy into his hands. His younger brother Charles Emmanuel II was only four when his father died in 1637. Because both of these sons were so young Francois' father, Thomas Francis, challenged the authority of the mother of the Dukes of Savoy to rule in their places, and a war broke out between the two sides of the family. (page 19) Obviously, due to the upheavals of the family, Francois left Turin and the family behind. It was common when a person left their royal family, that the person was disowned and stricken from all records pertaining to that family, completely banished. This would account for the for the lack of records pertaining to our Prince Francois de Savoy. Francois left Turin, Italy, traveled over the Alps and headed for France to a section of Vienne, a city of Loudin, to join a group of Norman families on their way to the New World, to settle in the country of Acadia. Francois is reported to be the son of Prince Thomas Francis of Carigano the 2nd son of Charles Emmanuel I, Duke of Savoy from 1580 - 1630. Francois arrived at Port Royal, Acadia about 1643. He married in Acadia in 1651 to Catherine LeJeune who was born in 1633 at Port Royal, Acadia, Nova Scotia. Both died sometime before 1685. Francois and Catherine are the parents of nine children, four sons and five daughters, born between 1653 and 1669." 
Savoie, Francois Joseph (I7742)
 
1550 It is quite possible that "Marie Margaret Catherine Trahan"s" family were Acadiens because several families were shipped to Belle-Ile-en-Mer in the latter days of the "Grand Derangement". Like so many Acadiens, the family followed the friends and other family members to Louisiana.  Trahan, Marie Marguerite Catherine (I2211)
