Notes - François Brossard, progenitor of one of the most notable Acadian families, was born in c1653 perhaps in Anjou, France, to parents still unknown and may have come to the colony in 1671 aboard the ship L'Oranger. He married Catherine, daughter of Michel Richard dit Sansoucy and Madeleine Blanchard, at Port-Royal in c1678. They settled on haute rivière, now the upper Annapolis River, at a place called Beausoleil. Not long after his marriage, François "collaborated with Pierre Thibodeau in the colonization of Chepoudy, but he did not go to settle there himself." In early 1711, François was one of several residents of the haute rivière jailed by British commander Samuel Vetch. François and Catherine had 11 children, including six sons, all born at Beausoleil, five of whom created families of their own. Four of their daughters married into the Landry, Doucet, Préjean, and Bourg families. François died suddenly at his farm on haute rivière in December 1716, in his early 60s.
The census of 1698 states they have 15 cattle, 20 sheep, 14 hogs and 16 arpents with 2 fruit trees, 2 guns and 1 servant.
