Germain Doucet

Germain Doucet, also known as Sieur de La Verdure, was born around 1595. It is believed that Doucet's origins trace back to Coupru, France. He served as a French military commander in colonial Acadia.

Family
Doucet had at least three children: Pierre Doucet (born in France around 1621), Marguerite-Louise-Judith Doucet (born in France around 1625) and Jeanne (Kagijonais Mi'qmak nation), who married Pierre Le Jeune de Briard. He likely had a fourth child, born around 1641, who was also called Germain. However, some argue that he was not Doucet's biological son (born around 1595). Doucet's sons Pierre, Germain II and his daughter Marguerite remained in Acadia. Around 1640, Pierre married Henriette Pelletret. Germain II married Marie Landry, and Marguerite married Abraham Dugas. The name of Doucet's wife is uncertain. Some genealogists suggest that she was Marie Bourgeois because the act of capitulation of Port-Royal in 1654 specifies that Jacques (Jacob) Bourgeois was Germain Doucet's brother-in-law. ==References==
