Notes for *Pierre Thibodeau:
Pierre arrived at Port Royal, Acadia in 1654, under contract for three years at a wage of 100 livres per year (this information is contained in the "Catalogue des Immigrants" By Marcel Trudel).

Listed as a farmer (the 1671 census states "a plowman having seven arpents of cleared land"), he was
a miller (un meunier), owned a grist mill at Pree' Ronde, on upper Port Royal River,

In 1698 with four of his sons and several of his compatriots he founded the town of Chipoudy, now Hopewell Hill, New Brunswick.

There is good documentation about Pierre as one of his daughters married the secretary of the governor of Acadia. He was so popular with the governor and his co-settlers that he was given the role of "Sieur", a semi-noble title. Pierre and Jeanne had a total of 16 known children.

In 1981 a monument to him was erected at Round Hill, Annapolis County, Nova Scotia as the first white settler to live there.
