• General Notes
  • Researcher/Genealogist F. René Perron, of Sèvres, France, states that La Verdure, the fiefdom of Germain, is located in Champagne Brie, ten kilometers north of La Ferte-Gaucher.   La Ferte-Gaucher is located about 45 miles east of Paris in Seine-et-Marne Department.
    
    Though many records point to Marie Bourgeois as the first wife of Germain Doucet and the mother of Marguerite and Pierre, Stephen White, renowned genealogist, contradicts it. He states that Germain did, however,  remarry before 1654. This second marriage could have been to either the daughterof Guillaume Trahan or Jacques Bourgeois' sister as after the surrenderof Port Royal on Aug 16 1654, he left his brother-in-law, Jacques Bourgeois, as an hostage.
    
    There is another theory which links Jacques Jacob Bourgeois as the brother-in-law and is a theory accepted in:
    1.Title: Histoire Et Genealogie Des Acadiens V2, Page: p. 524
    It lists him as the father of Marguerite-Louise Doucet and Marie Grandjehan Bourgeois as the mother. Marie Grandjehan would have been the daughter of Nicolas Grandjehan and Marguerite Bourgeois. They are also listed as the parents of Jacques Jacob Bourgeois. He either took his mother`s last name or was her son with an unknown father.
    
    Adjutant of Governor D'Aulnay. Germain was Port Royal Commandant at the time of surrender to Robert Sedgwick on 16 August 1654. Following the terms of the act of capitulation, he returned to France where he died. He immigrated to Acadia about 1639.
    
    Military: August 16, 1654, Port Commandant.
