Pierre DOUCET came from Canada [sic], according to his great-great-grandson Pierre DOUCET, who mistakenly called his distant forebear Germain.
Under [his sister] Marguerite DOUCET, who came from France with her husband Abraham DUGAS, he says: "The fact that she came from France shows that Pierre must have originated there too, notwithstanding the affirmation that he came to Acadia from Canada."

Pierre DOUCET dit LAVERDURE, 1621, mason, son of Germain, married around 1640 to a person whose name is unknown, and in a 2nd marriage in 1660 to Henriette PELLETRET. Germain, born 1641, was issue of 1st marriage [perhaps only a nephew?]. Eleven more children are listed for 2nd marriage (from Anne born 1661 to Mathieu born 1685). After the fall of Port Royal in 1654, he sought refuge in Que'bec, where his 1st wife died and where his son Germain would have passed several years. The father and son returned to Acadia.
Born 1621 [in France]. Sister Marguerite-Louise born around 1634 [only other sibling listed.]
