Notes - François Girouard dit La Varenne came from France with his wife Jeanne Aucoin, according to two depositions, one made by his great-grandson Pierre Richard (Doc. inéd., Vol. II, p. 191), and another made by Louis Courtin, husband of his great-great-granddaughter Marie-Josèphe Martin (ibid., Vol. III, p. 27). Both of these depositions erroneously call the Girouard ancestor Jacques, instead of François, probably because the deponents presumed that he had borne the same first name as his elder son, to whom they were both connected. François is the name that one finds, however, in three Acadian censuses and in his younger son?s marriage record in the register of Beaubassin.?
Per Stephen White, Fracois arrived in Acadia about the year 1640. He was a Ploughman and Laboreur. - He was a farmer by trade.
According to the 1671 Census:
Port Royal, Acadia, Nova Scotia, Canada Francois GIROUARD, 50, wife Jeanne AUCOIN 40; Children (3 married): Jacob 23, Marie 20, Marie Magdeleine 17, (not married): Germain 14, Anne 12; cattle 16, sheep 12.
Francois married Jeanne Aucoin in 1647, in Port Royal, Acadia, Nova Scotia. They are the parents of the following:
1) Jacques-Jacob (1648-1703) md Marguerite Gaudreau
2) Marie (1650-) md Jacques Belou
3) Marie-Madeleine (1654-) md Thomas Cormier
4) Germain (1656-1693 md Marie-Francoise Bourgeois
5) Anne-Charlotte (1660-1742) Julien Laure
