Pioneers of the Lebreton family

Francois LeBreton: François LeBreton est né le 07 mars 1704, dans le village de Genestrie Saint-Leger paroisse en Normandie, France. Dans la mesure où nous savons qu'il a été un des premier LeBreton à régler sur le sol Canadien dans l'Anse-au-Griffon au Québec. En raison de la révolution Américaine François sa famille avec sons échappé à Tracadie Nouveau-Brunswick. Il sons cacher avec les Autochtones Indiens et change son dernier nom a Robert ainsi, vous vous trouverez des monuments à Tracadie-Sheila N.B. avec les deux noms, il se soit dit François LeBreton dit Robert ou François Robert dit LeBreton. Il a également été la première LeBreton d'y être enterrés. En 1784, ils ont été les premiers colons blancs à régler à Tracadie Nouveau-Brunswick. François est décédé le 28 octobre 1799, à l'âge de 96 et Thérèse est décédée en 1809 à l'âge de 80 ans. Ils sont tous deux enterrés à Tracadie dans le cimetière des fondateurs près de la côte. Sans surprise J'ai découvert que pour la plupart des gens qui donna le nom LeBreton verbalement à un prêtre ou un recensement d'on le nom a été souvent écorché, on m'a dit cette directement à partir de la paroisse Sainte-Anne à Mattawa per la secrétaire. Ils seraient notez que, soit la façon dont il leur semblait donc le nom était souvent mal épelée; par exemple LeBreton deviendrait : Breton, Lebreton, Labreton, LeBretton, LeBritton, LaBritton, LeBrethon, Bratton, Lebreto, ect ...

Thank -you for sharing this Paul. Your Grt Grt Grandfather George Was my GR.Gr.Gr. Grandfather Jean s brother. I want to make two observatons : If FRancois was born in 1704 and sailed to New France in 1723 then he was only 19 not 23. Are you sure it was the American revolution that made him go to NB . Seems more likey it was the end of The Seven Years war between Britain and France - the end of new France. New France and the expulsion of the Acadians.
