Boudrot at the brook of brother Joseph Tirat At the southeast at M(aitr)e Abraham to the River Au Seigneur 2 Leagues --------------------------------------------------------------------- On the first page of the census, (folio 17), are to be found a lot of figures and additions. What follows is noteworthy: Francois Gaulterot Bastien Brun, 1 boy/1y, 2 cattle, 1 gun 10 barrels La Ramee 25 cattle 6 acres Les Boizins 8 Strangers La Verdure 2 113 over 15 years 90 men - 69 guns - 55 families -149 boys and 119 girls Marriageable - 610 (?) horned cattle - 237 acres - 200 sheep - 500 pigs. We have already met Francois Gautreau in folio 19v and Sebastien Brun in folio 20. The latter is said here to have a son one year old and 2 cattle; in folio 20 he is given also a daughter, 2 years old, and 8 cattle. With regard to La Ramee, he was Charles Melanson, the son of Pierre Laverdure, senior, and of Priscilla; he had married around 1663 Marie Dugas, daughter of Abraham Dugas. He had a brother, Pierre, who had married around the same time Marie Mius d'Entremont, daughter of Philippe Mius d'Entremont and of Madeleine Helie. He is often mentioned as La Verdure, after his father. Although there were a certain number of Acadians to whom this name was given, the La Verdure of our census most probably applies to him. It is strange that these two prominent families of Port Royal are not recorded elsewhere in the census. We do not know what the words Les Voizins, but probably for Les Voisins, (The neighbors), stand for. The correlations for this census were done by: Rev. Clarence J. d'Entremont Fairhaven, Massachusetts
