Individual Details

Jean Breau (also known as Jean Brault, Breaux, or Brot) was an Acadian settler born around 1678 in Port-Royal, Acadie (present-day Annapolis Royal, Nova Scotia). He was the son of Vincent Breau and Marie Bourg, early French settlers in the region. Jean was part of a large family, with several siblings including Antoine, Marguerite, Pierre, Anne, François, Marie, Jeanne, René, and Elizabeth. ([WikiTree][1])

In the 1686 census of Port-Royal, Jean is listed as living with his widowed mother and siblings. By 1693, he was 15 years old and still residing in Port-Royal with his family. ([WikiTree][1])

Between 1700 and 1701, Jean married Anne Chiasson dit Lavallée, daughter of Guyon Chiasson and Jeanne Bernard. They had several children, including Marie, Ambroise, Jean-Baptiste, Jeanne, Pierre, Anne, Antoine, and Simon. ([WikiTree][1], [Geni][2])

Jean Breau died on April 17, 1751, in Port-Royal at approximately 73 years of age and was buried two days later in the Garrison Graveyard. ([Geni][2])

He is recognized as an Acadian ancestor, with many descendants tracing their lineage back to him. ([WikiTree][1])
