   "TIBAUDEAU (Thibaudeau, Thibodeau), PIERRE, miller, settler, founder of the Acadian family of that name; b. 1631 in the province of Poitou; d. 26 Dec. 1704 at Prée-Ronde.
   
   Tibaudeau arrived in 1654 in Acadia and married Jeanne Terriot around 1660. Being a miller, he settled and built a mill near Port-Royal (Annapolis Royal, N.S.), in a canton called Prée-Ronde, and soon became prosperous.
   
   Tibaudeau is noteworthy particularly as the founder of Chipoudy (Shepody, N.B.). At an advanced age, he decided to acquire a seigneurial domain, and in the spring of 1698, with four of his sons and a comrade, he chose his site at Chipoudy. Guillaume Blanchard and two of his sons accompanied them there, then settled on the Petitcodiac.
   
   A legal dispute arose which threatened his plan when an officer from Port-Royal, Claude-Sébastien de Villieu, asserted that the domains claimed by Tibaudeau and Blanchard formed part of the fief belonging to his father-in-law, Michel Leneuf de La Vallière (the elder). The case was referred to Paris, but this did not stop Pierre Tibaudeau from carrying on with the task of beginning a settlement. The final verdict did not reach Acadia until after the pioneer’s death. A decree of the Conseil d’État dated 2 June 1705, defining more precisely that of 20 March 1703, confirmed La Vallière’s claims. The dream of a seigneury at Chipoudy was dispelled. Nevertheless, the pioneers retained possession of their “lands and inheritances,” and the settlement was able to develop: the 1706 census listed 55 persons at Chipoudy, and that of 1752, 359.
   
   A daughter of the founder, Jeanne, had married the Sieur Mathieu de Goutin, naval commissary at Port-Royal and civil administrator; he wrote several letters or reports about the litigation between La Vallière and the Chipoudy settlers, and they constitute a valuable source of documentation concerning Pierre Tibaudeau. Clément Cormier
   
   [Historians have used as one of their main sources for this period Rameau de Saint-Père’s work, Une colonie féodale, which contains an interesting chapter on Pierre Tibaudeau. After years of genealogical research Placide Gaudet pointed out some errors in the family relationships described in the chapter in question. In a letter to Msgr Louis-A. Richard of Trois-Rivières, he stigmatized them as “pure invention concerning the old miller’s children.” Gaudet attributed these errors to the fact that Rameau had only the censuses to guide him. In preparing this biography and that of Jean-François Brossard errors in Rameau have been indicated, for example the two alleged marriages of Brossard’s daughters, the first one with Pierre Tibaudeau, the other with Jacques Martin, neither of which took place. c.c.]

   During Congres Mondial Acadien 2004 (World Wide Congress of Acadians) held in Nova Scotia, Canada, a highlight for the hundreds of Louisiana Thibodeau(x)s who attended was learning of the existence of a “Thibodeau Village” in Nova Scotia, prior to the deportation of Acadians in 1755. Thibodeau Village, located in Nova Scotia on the St. Croix River about twenty-five miles west of the Grand-Pré National Historic Site, stood on land that is today owned by the Shaw family,"New England Planters", who acquired the land six years after the deportation by a British Crown Land Grant in 1761. The Thibodeau and the Shaw family are the only families to have ever occupied the land since Europeans arrived in the region. Since 2004, the two families have formed a bond. When Dick Thibodeau, of Maine, first identified the Thibodeau site, he contacted the Shaw family to inform them they occupied what had once been Thibodeau Village in Acadian times. Dick and Sara Beanlands (archeologist and daughter, niece of the Shaw family land owners) collaborated for nearly two years in preparation for their joint presentation during the Thibodeau(x) reunion. The demonstration of emotion and appreciation on the part of the 150 Thibodeau(x)'s who accepted an invitation from Sara to visit the original Thibodeau farm, has not been forgotten and the memory, of all who attended, will be cherished forever. On Sunday, April 23, [2006] at 2:00 p.m., the Acadian Memorial Foundation will host a presentation of the Nova Scotian Thibodeau / Shaw family homestead by Sara Beanlands and Dick Thibodeau, who will explain what it has meant to the Shaw family to learn that their land, at one time during the Acadian era, was "Thibodeau Village". Sara has directed archeological digs on the property and has discovered many artifacts such as coins, belt buckles, and pieces of pottery from that era. Dick Thibodeau will express his experience about his discovery that the family’s land was once a site of the historical home of the Thibodeau family and village.

He arrived with five sons and a number of other citizens from Port-Royal, built a church on a site known today as Church Creek, and a flour mill at a place now called Mill Creek.

13.   Martin, Lucien T. Remember Us: Thibodeau. (Remember Us).

    Remember Us by Lucien T. Martin states: "Pierre Thibodeau was about 23 when he came to Acadia in 1654. He was indentured to Emmanual LeBargne, a rich merchant of La Rochelle, France, who as one of Charles d'Aulnay's creditors, had come to Acadia seeking a judgment against d'Aulnay's estate. After Pierre's term of indentured service was over, he married Jeanne Terriau in 1660, daughter of Jean and Perrine Bourg of Port Royal."
