  5. 12.  Pierre Cormier was born 1704, Beaubassin (son of Pierre Cormier and Catherine LeBlanc); died Abt 1750.

    Other Events:

    • Residence: Abt 1730, Ouescoque (today Westcock, NB)
    • Residence: Abt 1750, LeLac

    Notes:

    Discrepancy: in Bona Arsenault's vol3, p.914 he states that Pierre was at Missagoueche, along the Saint John River in New Brunswick in 1770. But other sources indicate that he was deceased by then. As in Surette's Atlas of Beaubassin, Pierre is said to have been the victim of a soldier's aggression and dies shortly after the family leaves Ouescoque in the forced move to LeLac. In Un Historique de la famille Cormier published for the Acadian Reunion in 1994, it indicates that he died about 1750. And in Stephen White's Dictionnaire it indicates that Pierre died between the time the census was taken for 1750-51 and the time it was taken Jan 1, 1752.
    In Un Historique de la famille Cormier it indicates that his wife and her son Pierre sought refuge in 1755 along the Saint John River, then at Kamouraska. And was also at Ste Anne (Fredericton) in 1768.
    Another discrepancy: Bona Arsenault lists Etienne as one of his sons and says that Etienne was deported along with his brothers, Michel and Joseph, to South Carolina. Michel and Joseph later settled in Louisianna but there is no further mention of Etienne. None of the other sources mentioned above mention Etienne as a son of Pierre and Cecile.





    Residence:
    Discrepency on where he lived after marrying. Placide Gaudet in his newspaper article on the genealogy of Antoine J Cormier mentions that Pierre Cormier and his wife Cecile Thibodeau settled in Vechkok in Cumberland County and lived there until 1750 when they emigrated to Ouescak (today Westcock) where they lived until the turmoil of 1755. Surette in his Atlas Beaubassin mentions that 'From Ouescoque, on the footsteps of old Alexis Cormier,who has already joined the families of his sons, the founders of LeLac, come the children and grandchildren of his youngest brother Pierre...' and goes on to mention Pierre Cormier along with his wife Cecile Thibodeau as being one of this group, therefore implying that Pierre was from Ouescoque with his family.The book, Histoire de la famille Cormier on page 28 says that Pierre and Cecile settled around 1730 at Rivieres-des-Hebert (Menoudie) and that they were forced to settle at Aulac around 1750.

    Residence:
    Forced to flee here with his family, he died around this time (about 1750).

    Died:
    Stephen White gives Pierre's death as occuring sometime between the census of 1750-51 and the census of 1 Jan 1752. 'Histoire de la famille Cormier' says that Pierre died around 1750. Surette's Atlas of Beaubassin says that Pierre was the victim of the soldier's aggression when he and his family were forced to leave Ouescoque to go to LeLac and he dies soon after leaving his widow with ten children.

    Pierre married Cecile Thibodeau 17 Jul 1730, Grand Pre. Cecile (daughter of Jean Thibodeau and Marguerite Hebert) was born 5 Nov 1712, Grand Pre; died Abt 1787. [Group Sheet]
