♂Germain Theriot

Germain Theriot (born about 1669) was a resident of Port-Royal in Acadie. He was probably the seventh great-grandfather of Floyd Amatus Delahorne (1922–2014), through his son François Thériot (about 1703 – before 3 April 1767).

He was born about 1669 at Port-Royal in Acadie, the son of Germain Theriot (about 1646 – before 1680) and Andree Brun (about 1646 – 1727). He is counted at Port-Royal in the censuses of 1671, 1686 and 1693. He is said to have married Anne Pellerin about 1690, and to have died in 1750 at Île Saint-Jean^W in New France.

Notes

His son François

The link to François rests on Arsenault’s compiled genealogy, which lists a François born in 1703 among the children of Germain and Anne Pellerin and whose entry for Françoise Guérin says she “épousa Francois Terriot, fils de Germain et d’Anne Pellerin”, that is, married François Terriot, son of Germain and Anne Pellerin (4:1492). No register confirms it.

Marriage

Arsenault’s Histoire et généalogie des Acadiens (2nd edition, Ottawa), volume 4, page 1528, gives the marriage as “marie vers 1690”, that is, about 1690. This is a compiled genealogy, not a parish entry, so the year is the compiler’s estimate.

Death

The same page, Arsenault 4:1528, reads “Il est decede a l’ile Saint-Jean en 1750”, a compiled statement of the year and place. A WikiTree profile gives the date as 4 August 1750 at Port Lajoie; this bio keeps the year and the place as the compiled genealogy gives them.
