Pierre Cormier

1734 - 1818  (83 years)

• Name	Pierre Cormier
  Born	3 Aug 1734
  Gender	Male
  Died	24 Mar 1818	Memramcook
  Notes	Bona-vol.3,p.920-says he married around 1755 to Marie-Anne Gaudet probably the daug of Pierre and Marguerite Hebert - I believe this spouse name is incorrect. Pierre was called Pierre dit Pierrot; he was a prisoner of the English at Fort Cumberland, where he escaped, disguised as a woman. He was at Sainte-Anne-du-Pays-Bas along the Saint John River in 1756;at Quebec in 1758-1760; at l'Islet in the region of Quebec from 1761-1764 and again along the Saint John River in 1770 and 1774. After a stay at Madawaska, he settled atMemramcook in 1787 with a group of Acadians who were forced to abandon their land at Sainte-Anne-du-Pays-Bas(today Fredericton) to the American Loyalists. These families were given permission to settle on the west bank of the Memramcook in the direction of Taylor Village. J02-p.106-Pierre dit Pierrot a Nannette,b.dt.,marr. info,d.dt.;says Nanette is the daughter of Augustin and Agnes Chiasson N01-PGaudet article, Feb 12,1942-gives spouse name of Nanette Gaudet daug of Augustin Gaudet and Agnes Chiasson His birth place is either Kamouraska(see Irene's notes) or Beaubassin(J02-p.106)- look for baptism for verification. T15-This family was held prisonners of England at Fort Cumberland(Fort Beausejour) for awhile. Then went up to Bay Ste Anne, N>B>, then up the St.John River in 1756, then on to Que,1758-1760. They were at L'Islet, Que 1770-1774, then to Madawaska, N.B. They last moved to Memramcook, N.B. in1787 where they settled.See St.Thomas Register for dates-Memramcook. More notes to enter from an article by Placide Gaudet in the evangeline newspaper-in translation.July 1996.
