Jean Doiron
1649 - Abt 1735 (86 years)1. Jean Doiron was born 1649, St Martin de Re, diocese of LaRochelle, France; died Abt 1735, Pisiguit. Other Events:
- Misc: arrived in Acadia in 1671
- Residence: the parish of Sainte Famille
- Residence: Abt 1692, Pisiguit (today Windsor, Nova Scotia)
Notes:
There is a discrepancy in research info. as to whether this Jean married twice or his son, Jean, married twice. Bona Arsenault(vol.4, p.1374) indicates that the Jean from France married once to Marie Anne de Cano, but his son, Jean, married twice- once around 1698 to Marie Trahan, d/o Guillaume & Madeleine Brun of Port Royal and secondly around 1710 to Anne LeBlanc, d/o Andre & Marie Dugas. The Doiron book, the descendants of Pierre Doiron & Anne Forest, states that Jean from France married Marie Anne de Cano around 1669 AND Marie Trahan around 1692; and that son, Jean, married Anne LeBlanc in 1693(Jean having been born in 1678). Stephen White's article in Cahier 25 of La Societe Historique Acadienne(page 120) says that Jean Doiron from France married twice and gives the name of his first spouse as Marie Anne Canol, but says he had 19 children. Bona-vol.4,p.1374-b.dt, arrived in Acadia around 1671;lived in the parish of Sainte-Famille in Pisiguit;marr.info. M01-p.45-b&d dts,marr.info. J02-p.120-b.dt;marr.twice but only names one spouse. B22-p.225-gives two marr.;he was at Port Royal with his wife in 1671; he and his family settled at Pisiguit around 1692.

Notes:
Discrepancy over her parents: Bona gives her parents as Charles Doiron and Francoise Gaudet. S.White gives her parents as Jean Doiron and Anne LeBlanc. White's explanation is that on the 1754-55 census, Joseph, Jean and Pierre Doiron, and Joseph Poirier and Jean (sic for Pierre) Boucher all lived at Aulac. The five families arrived together in South Carolina aboard the Dolphin on November 20th,1755, leading to the conclusion that the wives of Poirier and Boucher were sisters of the Doiron brothers and hence daughters of Jean Doiron and wife, Anne LeBlanc.- note by A.Owen Jan2012
