About The Arsenault Family
Please sign in to see more.
The first colony in Canada was founded in the year 1604. The first settlers came from France with Sieur de Monts and Samuel de Champlaine.
They settled on an island in the Ste. Croix river, near what is now Ste. Stephen, NB. They called it Ste. Croix Island, later known to be known as Dochets Island.
There were 79 men on the island. The first winter, 34 men died of scurvy.
The winter was very cold on the island, so they moved the next summer (1605) across the Bay of Fundy to Port Royal (now Annapolis Royal) Acadia (Nova Scotia).
Pierre Arsenault (born in 1646 in France) sailed on a ship called the "Oranger" from LaRochelle, France to Port-Royale de Rochefort in 1671. There were 60 colonists on the ship. In 1686, his name is listed as one of the noblemen (seigneur) of Breaubassin but he was in Port-Royal.
