Jean Bastarache (Joannis Basterretche), known as the Basque, was born around 1658. He settled in Port-Royal, on land on the south shore of the Dauphin River (now the Annapolis River), near the earthly Paradise (now Paradise). His name appears in the Acadian documents from the 1686 census, where he has already been married for about two years to Huguette Vincent, daughter of Pierre Vincent and Anne Gaudet. In 1714, the year after the definitive surrender of Acadia to Great Britain, Jean Bastarache was among the Acadian inhabitants who embarked on the ship of King Mary Joseph to pass to Île Royale. But if he was gone, it wasn't long before he turned around. Jean Bastarache died in Port-Royal on September 5, 1733, aged seventy-five years. He was the father of five children, the youngest of whom was Pierre

Translated by Google:
The fact that Jean Bastarache was recorded at Port Royal in 1703 as " Joannis Lebasque " clearly indicates his origin. He was born around 1658 and came to Acadia before 1685 , when he married Huguette Vincent, daughter of Pierre Vincent and Anne Gaudet. Jean Bastarache died at Port Royal on September 5, 1733. The youngest of his five children was called Pierre. He was born in Port Royal, July 18, 1702 , and married in the same place on 19 January 1724 to Marguerite Forest, daughter of René and Françoise Dugas Forest . Pierre Bastarache died at Port Royal, 7 May 1751 .

The ancestor of the Bastarache family in Acadia was Jean Bastarache. He was called "Le Basque" because he came from the Basque country
August 1695 Jean Bastarache took the oath of allegiance to the King of England at Port-Royal; he made his mark on the document.
In 1703 Jean Bastarache was listed in the census as "Joannis Le Basque" and in 1714 as "Le Basque," which clearly attests to his origin.
29 August Jean Bastarache appears on the list of the inhabitants of Acadia who embarked on the King's vessel, La Marie Joseph, to go to Ile-Royale.
Jean Joannis Bastarache/dit Le Basque, born in 1658 at Bayonne, in the Basque country of southern France, reached Acadia by 1684, the year he married Huguette or Agathe, a daughter of Pierre Vincent and Anne Gaudet, at Port-Royal. They settled on the upper south shore of Rivière-au-Dauphin, now the Annapolis River, miles above the village at Port-Royal, near present-day Paradis, Nova Scotia. Jean and Huguette had five children. Their two daughters married into the Orillon dit Champagne and Girouard families. All three of Jean and Huguette's sons created families of their own:
Oldest son François-Marie, born at Port-Royal in 1687, married Agnès, daughter of Louis-Noël Labauve and Marie Rimbault, at Annapolis Royal in 1714. They had five children, including two sons, but neither of them seems to have married and created families of their own.
Jean, fils, born at Port-Royal in 1696, married Angélique, daughter of Alexandre Richard and Isabelle Petitpas, at Annapolis Royal in 1721. Jean, fils died at Québec in 1757 during Le Grand Dérangement.
Youngest son Pierre, born at Port-Royal in c1702, married Marguerite, daughter of René Forest and Françoise Dugas, at Annapolis Royal in 1724. Pierre died at Annapolis Royal in 1751, age 50.
In 1707, Jean dit Le Basque and his family were still on the river above Port-Royal. When the British took over the colony in 1714, Jean left Port-Royal on the French vessel La Marie-Josèphe for Île Royale, today's Cape Breton Island, probably to look at land there. He died at Annapolis Royal in September 1733, age 75, so he evidently had not liked what he had seen on the big island. Jean, père's sons, like their father, remained in the Annapolis Royal area.
According to Acadian genealogist Bona Arsenault, Jean's brother Michel dit Le Basque also came to the colony, where he was known as a flibustier, or pirate. He brought with him a wife and two children, including a son, Edmond. Arsenault insists that in 1713, at Annapolis Royal, Edmond married Agathe de Saint-Etienne de La Tour, a descendant of former governor Charles La Tour. According to genealogist Stephen A. White, however, it was Edmund Bradstreet of County Tipperary, Ireland, a young lieutenant in the British service, who married Agathe de La Tour at Annapolis Royal, in 1712. The Bastaraches who ended up in Louisiana came from Jean's line, not Michel's.
The family name is spelled Barastarache, Basque, Basterretche, Bastrash. [See also Book Ten]
