♂Jean Gaudet

Born about 1575.

Jean Gaudet (born about 1575) was one of the earliest French settlers of Acadia, recorded at Port-Royal in 1671 as a laborer of 96, with a second wife and a son of eighteen. He was the eighth great-grandfather of Floyd Amatus Delahorne (1922–2014) by 21 separate lines of descent, the nearest of them ten generations up, running through his children Francoise Gaudet (born about 1623), whom historians reconstruct as his daughter, and Denis Gaudet (about 1625–1709); two of his four known children are ancestors of Floyd.

Life

His first wife, the mother of his elder children, is not known by name. The historians Archange Godbout and Stephen White reconstruct his elder children as Francoise, Denis and Marie, who all settled at Port-Royal: Francoise married Daniel LeBlanc, Denis married Martine Gauthier, and Marie married Etienne Hebert. In the census of 1671 he appears as “Jehan GAUDET, laborer, 96”, with his second wife, Nicolle Colleson, 64, and their son Jehan, 18, farming three arpents of land in two places with six cattle and three sheep. No later record names him.

Lines of descent

The 21 lines of descent join Floyd to him through two of his children: Francoise Gaudet, whom historians reconstruct as his daughter, carries 15 of them, and Denis Gaudet carries six. Of these, 18 run through Floyd’s mother, Ida Serrette, and three through his father, Jeffrey Delahorne. The nearest, on the mother’s side, is ten generations up; on the father’s, twelve. The lines join again at Ozite Barbe Blanchard (about 1763–1799), at Pierre Anatole Serrett (1853–1926), and at Floyd’s own parents, who both descend from him. Some of these lines are less certain: those through Francoise’s daughter Marie Mercier rest on a compiled account, and one through her grandson Jacques on a 1767 declaration at Belle-Île-en-Mer, not an act.

Notes

His place as Francoise’s father is the reconstruction of the historians Archange Godbout and Stephen White; no surviving record names her as his daughter. The census age of 96 is the only evidence for his birth year.
