GODIN, Jean Baptiste L'huitre

  General Notes:

In 1779, sold his property in Cacouna to settle at Riviere Saint Jean, on the ancestral property, with his brother, Antoine. But the arrival of large numbers of Loyalists in 1783 caused problems for the Acadians on the St. Jean River. They had not yet obtained titles for their property and ownership squabbles erupted. The Godin's left the area and joined the Acadians (Theriault & Pinet) along the northern New Brunswick rivers. Jean Baptiste and Antoine established themselves in Caraquet, New Brunswick around 1786, west of the village now known as Bertrand. They are the ancestors of the Godin's of Maisonnette, Petit Rocher, Pokemouche, Lameque, Tracadie Neguac and the Jacquet River.

Jean married Angelique BERGERON, daughter of Michel BERGERON D'AMBOISE and Marie DUGAS, about 1750 in New Brunswick, Canada. (Angelique BERGERON was born about 1735 in Prob. New Brunswick and died in Prob. New Brunswick.)
