_______________________________________________________

DUGAS, Abraham, came from France with his wife, according to his great-grandson Alain LeBlanc (Doc. inéd., Vol. III, p. 50). This deposition does not name Abraham?s wife. She is identified as Marguerite Doucet by four Acadian censuses between 1671 and 1700 and by her burial record in the register of Port-Royal (see DGFA-1, p. 526).

Abraham Dugast was "armurier du Roy natif de Toulouse." He arrived in Acadia circa 1640 where he served as lieutenant-general.
