Individual Details
Pierre Comeau
(1597 - )
>From the English Supplement to the Dictionnaire by Stephen White:
COMEAU - Pierre and Rose Bayon
Explanatory Note:
The origin of Pierre Comeau is unknown. According to the research of Father
James Comeau, o.p., the ancestor of t he Acadian Comeaus would have been the
son of Jean de Comeau de Créancy, seigneur of Chassenay, and Marguerite
Ocquidem de La Choselle. There is, however, no proof of this claim. Father
Comeau only ofund this: that a Pierre de Comeau, born in 1606, was the son
of Jean de Comeau de Créancy. The similarity of names does not constitute
by itself a proof of identity. All things considered, it would seem most
unlikely for this to have been one and the same person, for the following
reasons:
a. One never find the particle (de) in any documentation concerning the
Comeau family in Acadia.
b. According to the censuses, the Acadian Pierre Comeau was at least eight
years older than the similarly named Pierre de Comeau.
c. The trade of t he Acadian Pierre Comeau was hardly the type of
employment to w hich a member of a noble family would have been destined in
the seventeenth centuy. One never sees the titles "esquire" and
"barrelmaker" attributed to the same person in documents of that time.
[Pierre was a barrelmaker]
Biographical Note:
Pierre Comeau had two sons who bore the given name Pierre, one was known as
Pierre the elder, nicknamed "l'Esturgeon" (the Sturgeon) and the other as
Pierre the younger, nicknamed "des Loups-Marins" (of the Seals). Several
miles above the fort, there was on the Annapolis River a spot that was
called in the eighteenth century "l'Esturgeon." The nickname given to
Pierre Comeau the elder derived from that place, because that is where he
settled.
