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 The English on the monument at Round Hill, NS is: “Pierre Thibodeau 1631-1704 Born in Poitou, France He came to Port Royal with Le Borgne in 1651. He was granted “La Prée Ronde” and he erected a grist mill on this River” Charlene McKenzie
