The Seigneury of Chipody: A Chapter in the Early History of Albert Co. - In the following French text of M. RAMEAU is chiefly used who, besides making use in the material of the Department de Marine, has had the advantage of access to the church archives at Port Royal - There was a Port Royal an old man named Pierre THIBAUDEAU, who figures in the Census of 1671 as 40 years of age, and married to an Acadian girl named Jeanne TERRIAU, aged 27, with whom he had already six children. Although he was already 67 years of age in 1698, he wished to found himself a new settlement; armed a vessel in which he placed himself in the spring of 1698 with his four sons, Peter THIBAUDEAU, John THIBAUDEAU, Antoine THIBAUDEAU, and Michael THIBAUDEAU, accompanied by one of their comrades Pierre GAUDET. They sailed up the Bay of Fundy to the west fork, which formed Cumberland Basin, leaving then Chignecto on their right, pushing wholly to the west of the Bay. They encountered the Chipody River first and then the River Petitcodiac. (see original) (see also POST July 8, 15, 22, 29 Aug. 5, 19, 12 Sept. 9, 16)
