Michelle Aucoin is the ancestral matriarch of the Acadian Boudrot family.
Michelle was born in France around 1621. Originally, Stephen White did not specify Michelle's parents. Since then, he has updated his research, and finds that she was the child of Martin Aucoin and Barbe Minguet. But White also suggests a note of caution in the corrections, by saying "Michelle (possibly from a previous alliance) nv 1621" (GOOGLE TRANSLATION: Michelle (possibly from a previous alliance) nv 1621).
Around 1641, Michelle married Michel Boudrot. According to depositions of her descendants, Michelle came to Acadia with her husband Michel. The actual date and place of the marriage is uncertain as Michel is thought to have been in Acadie in 1639, so they would have been married before that if they were married in France and came together. Between about 1642 and 1666, she gave birth to 11 children in Acadie: Françoise, Jeanne, Charles, Marguerite, Marie, Jean, Abraham, Michel, Olivier, Claude and François.
In 1671 they were counted on the Acadian Census at Port-Royal: Michel BOUDROT, 71, wife Michelle AUCOIN 53; Children (3 married): Francoise 29, Jeanne 25, Marguerite 20; (these not married): Charles 22, Marie 18, Jehan 16, Abraham 14, Michel 12, Olivier 10, Claude 8, Francois 5; cattle 5, sheep 12.
In 1678 they were counted on the Acadian Census at Port-Royal: Michel Broudrot and Michelle Aucoin; 12 acres; 10 cattle; 3 guns; 5 boys: 22, 1656; 20, 1658; 18, 1660; 16, 1662; 12, 1666. Michel Boudrot at the brook of brother Joseph Tirat at the southeast at Maitre Abraham to the River Au Seigneur 2 Leagues.
In 1686 they were rather elderly, Michel a Lieutenant General of Port Royal, age 85, and Michelle age 65. Their land and animal holdings had significantly increased in the past 8 years.
Some time after this and before 1693, Michel died and Michelle had to carry on. In 1693 she still had their property (actually a little more) and son Francois and his wife Marguerite were living with her, presumably working the farm.
Michele Aucoin, wife of Michel Boudrot, died on December 17, 1706, aged more than 95 years at Port-Royal (later renamed Annapolis Royal, Nova Scotia) and was buried there the next day.
DNA . The Mothers of Acadia Maternal DNA project conducts ongoing research to verify their origins. In 2010, Stephen White reported that Michelle Aucoin had a Haplogroup H. Ongoing tests results also report H haplogroup, indicating European origins. Her sister Jeanne also has H Haplogroup.
