8. Marcel (Marshall)
Fougere was born on 9 Sep 1770 in Petit
Degrat. He owned 500 acres by crown grant in 1809 in the Frankville
area.(4) As a point of reference,
Marcel Fougere was granted 100 acres which includes the area where
Andrew Fougere lives today and extending back through the lands that
were owned by Edward (Ned) Fougere and actually extending back almost
all the way to the railroad tracks to the area where Tom Fougere lives.
Charles' land was to the left of Marcel's. He died after 1833.
Charles was married to Anne-Charlotte Richard
about 1792 in Havre Boucher.

My Great-Great-Great-Great Grandfather
16. Joseph
Fougere (5) was
born on 25 Apr 1720. He appeared on the census in 1752 in Port
Toulouse, Ile Royale (St. Peter's, Cape Breton). (4)
"Joseph Fougere, coaster, native of
Port Royal, aged 36 years; married to Marguerite Coste, native of Port
Toulouse, aged 32 years. They are in the colony 28 years. They have one
child, Modeste Fougere, aged 4 years. They have Marie Madeleine, aged
12 years, native of Acadia, as a domestic. They have one ox, one cow,
hone heifer, two geese, four fowls and a share in a vessel. The
dwelling in which he is settled was sold to him by Claude Dugas."
He appeared on the census in 1771 in Petit Degrat. (4)
"
While Joseph Fougere and Marguerite
Coste had only once child at the time of LaRoque's census, they went on
to have eleven more children. Joseph and his family were living in
Petit de Grat at the time of a census taken by the British government
in 1771. The fortress at Louisbourg fell to the British in 1758, but it
does not appear that the Fougeres were involved in the hostilities.
However, the French settlers at Port Toulouse did lose Louisbourg as a
commercial trading center. The settlers had been able to exchange dried
fish, firewood and props at Louisbourg for food and clothing. After the
fall of Louisbourg, the Jersey Island traders moved into the Ile Madame
area to fill the void left by the collapse of Louisbourg."
He owned lot of land on 15 Feb 1790 in
Arachat, Nova Scotia.(6) From Ron
Fraser;
"Joseph was, in fact years old at
the time of LaRoque's census because the record of his baptism has
survived. It is interesting to note that Joseph purchased his dwelling
from Claude Dugas. Claude Dugas married Joseph's step mother, Madeline,
in 1750. Joseph's father, Jean, died around 1744. He was married to
Marguerite Coste in 1747."
17. Marguerite Coste.
From Ron Fraser..info is also apparently in book
by Donald and Marg MacKinnan, "Our Acadian Heritage"
"Joseph's wife, Marguerite Coste, was one-quarter Indian.
Marguerite's mother, Francoise Petitpas, was one-half Indian and
Marguerite's grandmother, Marie Therese, was a full blooded Mic Mac
Indian (Incorrect spelling of Mic Mac...more like M'ic Macq.."
which mean's friendly human..my note)
who married Claude Petitpas, the son of the village clerk at Port
Royal."
Children were:
i. Modeste Fougere
was born about 1748 in Port Toulouse, Ile Royale
(St. Peter's, Cape Breton).
ii. Joseph Fougere was born about 1750 in
Port Toulouse, Ile Royale (St. Peter's, Cape Breton). He died before
1752. He appeared on the census in 1791 in Havre Boucher area. The
"Census of Nova Scotia Poll Taxes" in 1791 for the Tracadie
and Havre Boucher area reveals the following Fougeres in the Havre
Boucher area:
Name Property Description Shillings Pence
Joseph Fougere Shallop 5 0
John Fougere 1 0
James Fougere Shallop 1 0
Charles Fougere 5 0
Marcel Fougere
iii. Jean
(John) Baptiste Fougere was born about
1753 in Petit Degrat. He died about 1762. He owned 200 acres of land
from George III, King of England in 1787 in Barrio Beach area of East
Tracadie, Nova Scotia, Canada. He died in 1819. (4)
In his 'Third Generation' of Fougere Genealogy
Ron writes;
"John Fougere died in 1819, without leaving any children.
The other three brothers, Jacques, Charles, and Marcel, all had
families and these three brothers are the ancestors of all the Fougeres
in Havre Boucher, as well as most of the Fraziers who settled in
Braintree, Massachusetts, and the surrounding area"
So I'm not sure, without checking with Ron, when
John died.

in Petit Degrat.

Petit Degrat.

acres of land by crown grant in 1809 in Frankville area. He appeared on

is listed one person over 50, 3 persons 16 to 49, 3 boys, 5 women, 0

JEAN FOUGERE (769) b.ca1660 Pourpay, Beauce, Orleans, France; d.1772
SP: Marie Barre (770) b.ca1664
64. Jean Fougere . A lot of
info rec'd from Ron Fraser came from
;The Dictionnaire généalogique des familles acadiennes
is a well documented work on Acadian genealogy by Stephen A White that
is firmly grounded upon the primary sources of information, while
containing references to the best secondary sources. The first part of
the Dictionnaire includes all the information available concerning
those families who came into being before 1715. This information comes
from the registers of more than 320 parishes, from the registries of
more than 125 notaries, and from some 130 censuses or other lists of
the residents of, and subsequently the exiles from, Acadia. Those who
are interested in the subject will find in the Dictionnaire more than
700 notes that explain the reasoning that supports the author's
conclusions.
