1671 Acadian Census:  Jean Terriau, 70,  wife, Perrine Rau 60:  Children(married)  Claude 34, Jean 32, Bonaventure 30, Germain 25, Jeanne 27,Catherine 21; (not married) Pierre 16; cattle 6, sheep 1. Terriau ou Theriault ou Theriot, Jean, n 1601, prob d avant 1686,laboureur en 1671, peut-etre originaire de Martaize (Vienne), peut-etrearrive entre 1632 et 1636 Jean Theriot was born 1601 in Martaize, Loudun, Vienne, France, and died1685 in Port Royal, Acadia. He married Perrine Breau Abt 1631 in Loudun, France. Notes for Jean Theriot: He arrived Acadia about 1637. Lived in Port Royal. DEATH: before 1686 Port Royal census. COMMENT: also spelled Terriau or Teriot THE NAME(S) THERIAULT... At the time, it was common practice to modify ones family name. And sorecords indicate today's "Theriault" name came from"Terriot"-"Theriot"-"Theriau"-"Therriault" and finally to "Theriault". It would appear that JEHAN TERRIOT, the grand daddy of all "Theriault's"in North America, was recruited as a labourer in New France, by Charles de Menou, SieurD'Aulnay and Charnisay and Gouvernor of Acadia from 1604-1650. While JEHAN TERRIOT'Sbirth certificate is not available, the first Acadia Census of 1671 indicatesthat he lived in Port Royal and was, at the time, 70 years old. It is therefore safe to assume, thatJEHAN was born "ABT 1601". The 1671 Port Royal Acadian Census, indicates that JEHAN and hisfamily owned six cattles and one sheep, at the time the census was taken. Historians havenot been able to locate records of JEHAN, Perrine and Claude (their oldest son)'s "boarding pass"registering their Sea voyage from France to Acadia, New France however it is estimated theyarrived in the late 1630's or early 1640's. Historical documents confirm that JEHAN was infact a recruit of Charles de Menou in 1635. We also know that Charles de Menou of D'Aulnay,conducted two significant "recruitment voyages", one in 1642 and another in 1644. Onboth occasions, he transported a number of families from his ho me parish (La Chaussee) inFrance, to Acadia, New France. During this period of time, JEHAN worked as a labourer,residing in the village of Martaize, located just a few kilometers from La Chaussee. Given thesetwo facts (working for Charles de Menou and residing in his close proximity), is it possiblethat JEHAN accepted a 36 month work contract and travelled from Port de la Rochelle (France) toPort Royal (Acadia), and that he and his family (wife Perrine and oldest son,Claude) were one of the twenty french families, on the 1644 voyage? While historians are unableto confirm JEHAN'S actual date of death, the Acadia Census of 1681 records "Perrine Braultis the WIDOW of JEHAN TERRIOT". By 1681, many of the "Therriot Family" had moved toBeaubassin, Grand-Pre, Riviere-aux Canards and Cobequid. Historical records indicate,that by the early 1730's, some of the "Terriot Families" had travelled up the St. JohnRiver and re-located in areas known today as the Province of New Brunswick. In early 1730, someof the Theriault families travelled up the St. John River and located in what is todayknown as the Province of New Brunswick.
