Hi all, I was just going over some things I've come across in passing and I was looking at information regarding Pierre Thibeaudeau and the land where he settled that is now called Round Hill. I notice on the large marker that I have a photo of that it says "Pierre Thibeaudeau 1631-1704, Naquit Au Poitou, France. It vint a Port Royal Avec Le Borgne. Il Obtint La 'Pre Rhondee' ou il s'establit. Il Eriga Un Moulin A Moudre Du Grain Sur Se Cours D'Eau." Can someone knowledgeable in French tell me what this says exactly? It sounds like he came to Port Royal with someone named Le Borgne. Is this the same Le Borgne that accompanied Olivier Daigre on the ship La Paix in 1663 from the port of La Rochelle? Would be interesting to hear some history regarding this particular man named Le Borgne. Any takers? Mike Daigle

Hi all, Concerning : "Pierre Thibaudeau 1631-1704, naquit au Poitou, France. Il vint à Port Royal avec Le Borgne. Il obtint le 'Pre Rhondee' où il s'établit. Il ériga un moulin à moudre du grain sur ce cours d'eau." First "Pré" in French is masculine, so we say "un pré" or "le pré". "Rhondee" could very well be a French misinterpretation of Round Hill. So the correct meaning would be "Le pré Round Hill", I think.

Who was LeBorgne? Who was d'Aulnay? Who was Latour? In early Acadian history, d'Aulnay, or Latour, or later, LeBorgne, was a villain? That's answering a question with a question. There were several of them. Both (or all of them) (judging by their acts) certainly, had redeeming qualities. Who was better or worse? The question first came up in that time period. Since, many writers have taken sides. Read enough writers of Acadian history, and you come to the conclusion that there are several sides to the question. There are zero Acadian descendants of d'Aulnay. Latour has defenders. LeBorgne (or the LeBorgnes) need none. There are numerous, perhaps millions of Acadian descendants of Latour, none of whom should accept at face value that it was their ancestor who between the lines set the stage for much of the misery later suffered by Acadians. Read Abbe Azarie Couillard Despres, Clarence Joseph D'Entremont, M. A. MacDonald, Jesuit Relations, or even Deny, Winthrop, Bradford, or Hutchinson, and find an ancestor to make you proud. Online, Blupete, History of Nova Scotia, is concise, comprehensive, fair, and balanced. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mike Daigle" <trianglemike777@msn.com> To: <ACADIAN-CAJUN-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, December 21, 2003 11:29 PM Subject: [ACADIAN-CAJUN] Regarding LeBorgne > Hi all, I was just going over some things I've come across in passing and I was looking at information regarding Pierre Thibeaudeau and the land where he settled that is now called Round Hill.
