B29-pp.7-9-Pierre Laverdure was born in France and died in New England or Acadia between August 1676 and May 1677. He married in England about 1631 to Priscilla ... who was born in England and died at Boston at the end of 1691 or the beginning of 1692. She remarried at Boston or Dorchester, Massachusetts, 8 April 1680 to Captain William Wright, Senior. In the summer of 1657, Pierre Laverdure, his wife, Priscilla, and at least 3 sons, Pierre, Charles and John, arrived from England aboard the ship "Satisfaction" at Fort St John, Acadia. Pierre, a Frenchman, and his English wife and sons were all Protestants. They were among a group of colonist coming to settle under Sir Thomas Temple, newly-named governor of English-controlled Acadia. Acadia remained under English rule until the Treaty of Breda was signed i 1667, transferring it back to France. Fearing religious persecution, Pierre, Priscilla, and their son, John, sought refuge at Boston. The elder sons, Pierre and Charles, had already converted, married French-Catholic women and started families. They remained in Acadia. Although the reason remains unclear, the Laverdure brothers used the surname Mellanson. Their brother John who went to New England kept the name Laverdure. B31-p.247-"According to Joseph LeBlanc dit Le Maigre's deposition at Belle-Ile-en-Mer, his wife's maternal grandfather, Pierre Melanson(the son), had "come to Port-Royal from Scotland." According to the research of Father Clarence d'Entremont cited above, however, Pierre (Melanson dit) Laverdure (the father) was a French Protestant who married, during his exile in England, an Englishwoman named Priscilla. Brought to Acadia with his family by Thomas Temple in the spring of 1657, Pierre, his wife, and their youngest son withdrew to Boston after the Treaty of Breda in 1667. Their two other sons, already married to acadian women, remained in Acadia. La Mothe-Cadillac relates that in 1685 he saw these two brothers, whom he calls Scotsman, aged 60 and 65 years, who were married to French women. In 1692 he saw their mother, then aged 90 years at Boston."
