Notes |
- Charles, the eldest of the surviving Chandonnet sons, baptized on 4
April 1718, went to earn his living in Acadia. About 1739, he married
Cecile Godin dit Bellefeuille,
daughter of Jacques and of Anne Bergeron, folks from the village of
Sainte-Anne du Pays-Bas, todays Fredericton. We do know that about
1758 Corporal Moncton
took charge of expelling from this region all the peaceful colonists
who were found there; the Godins, the Bergerons, the Saindons, and
the Chandonnets etc. In 1759,
McCurdy and Hazen carried out this dirty task. Thus it was in 1759
the Chandonnets, who were now Acadians, went to seek refuge in the
region of
Saint-Pierre-les-Becquets. We know of at least nine Godin-Chandonnet
children. Their descendants are numerous.
