“ II - VIE RELIGIEUSE AU CAP-SABLE
A - Les cahpelles.
Cette chapelle était une des trois que l’abbé Le Loutre avait érigées au Cap-Sable. La description de l’Acadie de 1748 nous dit que le missionnaire a fait construire une église à chacune des places suivantes: Ministiguesh, Peaubourcoup et Tébok (a). A part du titulaire de la chapelle de Tébok ou Tebôque, qui etait celui de Sainte-Anne (8), l’établissement lui-même étant appelé dans les registres paroissiaux de Cherbourg, du temps des exilés, Sainte-Anne de Tébok (b), nous connaissons le titulaire de la chapelle de Pobomcoup, qui était celui de Notre-Dame; en effet, dans une liste de l’Etat des familles Accadiennes retirées à Cherbourg et du Nombre des Personnes dont elle Sont Composées, Existantes au Premier Janvier 1778, les Acadiens nés à Pobomcoup sont dits de la Paroisse de notre dame de Pouboncoupe en accadie (c). Nous ne saurions dire à quelle date ces chapelles furent bâties, mais elles le furent sûrement toutes trois en même temps, et donc après l’érection de l’établissement de Tebôque. Nous connaissons assez exactement l’emplacement de quatre des cinq chapelles qu’il y eut au Cap-Sable, les deux autres étant à Abuptic et à Chegoggin. Celle de Sainte-Anne de Tebôque se trouvait sur l’île Durkee; mais nous n’avons pu trouver aucune traces d’elle, probablement parce qu’on a construit, sur cette île, des bâtiments, dont ceux qui s’y trouvent à l’heure actuelle, qui sont la propriété de l’entreprise laitière de la famile Cook de Chebougue.

L’abbé Le Loutre, dans son autobiographie, écrite lors de son retour en France après l’Expulsion, dit de lui-même:

Ce Missionnaire passant ... tantôt des Acadiens français aux Sauvages et tantôt de ces derniers
aux premiers, selon que le plus grand besoin l’exigeait, avait à parcourir dans l’année plus de
150 lieues, se transportant de Chigabenakady à [Chegekkouk], de [Chegekkouk] à Mirliguesch au
Cap de Sable, et de ce dernier lieu en différentes autres petites tribus, compsées tant
d’Acadiens que de Sauvages, et, dans tous ces différents lieux, il a fait bâtir autant de chapelles
(a).

Remarquons que l’abbé Le Loutre commença son ministère en Acadie vers 1738; il alla s’établir à Shubenacadie le 30 septembre 1738. Il ne dit pas s’il fut construire en même temps à ces endroits des presbytères, ce qu’il dit cependant, dans ce document de son autobiographie, avoir fait à d’autres endroits plus importants. Nous savons tout de même qu’il y eut un presbytère à Pobomcoup, près de la chapelle, qui était elle-même près du manoir, car parlant des événements de 1756, l’abbé Desenclaves faisait mention de “mon presbytère et une modeste chapelle” qui se trouvaient ici (b). L’abbé Le Loutre visitait ces lieux tous les ans, sûrement l’été, car la description de 1748 de l’Acadie et le Mémoire de la même année disent que 200 à 300 Amérindiens s’assemblent à la rivière de Poboncon à la Saint-Louis, 20 aôut, évidemment pour y rencontrer le missionnaire.

B - Visites des missionnaires en général.
Avant l’arrivée de l’abbé Le Loutre certains missionnaires de passage et surtout le curé de Port-Royal visitèrent de temps en temps le Cap-Sable, qui faisant partie de la paroisse Saint-Jean-Baptiste de Port-Royal. Il est arrivé cependant que les Acadiens du Cap-Sable se soient rendus à Port-Royal pour s’y marier et même pour faire baptiser leurs enfants. Nous trouvons à travers les registres paroissiaux de Port-Royal et de Grand-Pré, ainsi que dans certains documents, quelques rares échos des visites des missionnaires au Cap-Sable, dont d’ailleurs nous avons déjà parlé.

1 - En 1705.
Nous avons déjà vu aux chapitres 20ième et 21ième qu’avant la conquête définitive de l’Acadie par les Anglais, le Père Félix Pain se rendit au Cap-Sable au mois de mai 1705, quand “faisant la Mission a la Cote du Sud et de l’Est de la Province de L’Acadie”, il administra le baptême à de nombreux enfants. On ne peut pas savoir par les entrées aux registres de Port-Royal à quel endroit précis il se trouvait tel ou tel jour; il se peut même qu’il ne demeura qu’à un seul endroit et que là on lui apportait les enfants à baptiser. Le 17 mai, il baptise un enfant de Julien Aubois de Ouikmakagan; le 21, il baptise un enfant de François Viger au même endroit; le 22, il baptise des enfants de François Amirault et un de Joseph Mius, “du Cap de Sable”; le lendemain, 23 mai, il baptise d’autres enfants de François Amirault et deux de François Viger, celui-ci de Ouikmakagan. On trouve à ces baptêmes comme parrains ou marraines des gens de presque tous les centres du Cap-sable, ce pourquoi nous disons qu’il se peut que le missionnaire fit tous ces baptêmes au même endroit.

Il est probable que le Père Pain passa l’été de 1705 au Cap-Sable et aux environs, jusqu’au mois de septembre, car les entrées qui suivent immédiatement aux registres de Port-Royal, datées du 8 septembre, sont celles d’enfants de Claude Guidry et de Marguerite Petitpas, de Merliguech, et d’un enfant de Pierre Le Jeune et de Marie Thibodeau, de la Petite-Rivière. Puis le 10 septembre les jumeaux de Martin Le Jeune et de Marie Godet, de Port-Maltois, furent baptisés. En plus, le Père Pain unissait en mariage le 14 septembre Claude Le Jeune, fils de Martin Le Jeune et de feue Marie Kayigonias, de Port-Maltois, avec Anne-Marie Godet, fille de Jean Godet et de feue Jeanne Henry, de la Petite-Rivière. Comme tous ces baptêmes furent entrés aux registres de Port-Royal le 23 octobre seulement, il faut croire que la mission de Père pain “à la Côte du Sud et de l’Est” dura au-delà de cinq mois.
. . . .
4 - En 1734.
L’abbé de Saint-Poncy et l’abbé Maufils ne s’étaient pas arrêtés dans la région de La Hève-Merliguesh. Le 27 septembre 1734, l’abbé de La Goudalie y suppléait les cérémonies de baptême à quatre des enfants de Jean Le Jeune et Françoise Guidry, de Joseph Boutin et Françoise Pitre, et de François Viger et Calire Le Jeune, dont deux étaient nés avant que les deux prêtres de Québec n’arrivent au Cap-Sable en 1732. Le 7 octobre il baptisait un enfant de François Landry et Marie Doucet, que Bona Arsenault place à la Rivière-des-Habitants (a). Le 13 octobre il faisait un baptême à Baccareaux, celui d’Anne Mius, fille de Charles-Amand Mius et Marie-Marthe Hébert, dite ici Marie-Joseph Hébert. Le 16 octobre il était à Pobomcoup, baptisant un enfant de Joseph d’Entremont et Cécile Boudreau, un de Charles Hébert et Claire Mius, et deux de Pierre Bertrand et Marie Moulaison; notons que l’un d’eux, Marie Bertrand, était née le 10 juin 1732, et donc avant que les abbées de Saint-Poncy et Maufils ne passèrent par ici. L’abbé de La Goudalie était de retour à Grand-Pré le 9 novembre.

(8) p. 1927
Nous ne saurions dire si le titulaire de Sainte-Anne qui fut donné au retour de l’exil à la première chapelle du Cap-Sable, celle de Sainte-Anne-du-Ruisseau, fut en souvenir de celui de Tebôque, à peu de distance d là. Mais c’est par coïncidence que l’église de Pubnico-Est est dédiée à la Sainte Vierge, sous le vocable de l’Immaculée-Conception, tout comme la première chapelle de ce côté du havre lui était également dédiée sous le vocable de Notre-Dame.

Nous en profitons pour mentionner un autre titulaire, que les auteurs n’ont pas signalé jusqu’ici. C’est celui de Sainte-Croix, donné à la paroisse de Merliguesh; il est sans doute de l’abbé Le Loutre. C’est que Paul Guidry, fils de Claude et de Marguerite Petitpas, et son épouse, Anne Mius, fille de Philippe II Mius d’Entremont et de Marie, sont dit “natifs de la paroisse Ste Croix en la Cadie” (a). Or ils étaient tous deux nés à Merliguesh.

“ II - RELIGIOUS LIFE AT CAP-SABLE
A - The chapels
This chapel was one of three that the Abbé Le Loutre had erected at Cap-Sable. The description of Acadia of 1748 shows us that the missionary had built a church at each of the following places: Ministiguesh, Peaubourcoup and Tébok (a). Aside from the titular of the chapel at Tébok or Téboque, which was that of Sainte-Anne (8), the settlement itself being called in the parish registers of Cherbourg, at the time of the exiles, Sainte-Anne de Tébok (b), we know the titular of the chapel at Pobomcoup, which was that of Notre-Dame; in fact, in a list of Account of the Acadian families retired at Cherbourg and of the Number of Persons of which they are Composed, Existing on the First of January 1778, the Acadians born at Pobomcoup are called from the Parish of notre dame of Pouboncoupe in accadie (c). We would not know to say on which date these chapels were built, but they were certainly all three at the same time, and to be sure after the establishment of the settlement of Tebôque. We know fairly accurately the site of four of the five chapels which he had at Cap-Sable, the two other being at Abuptic and at Chegoggin. The one of Sainte-Anne de Tebôque was on the isle Durkee; but we have not found any traces of it, probably somebody has erected, on the isle, some buildings, among which those that are there nowadays, which are the property of the dairy business of the Cook family of Chebogue.

The Abbé Le Loutre, in his autobiography, writing at the time of his return to France after the Expulsion, said of himself:

This missionary passing ... sometimes from the French Acadians to the Savages and sometimes
from the last to the first, according to which greater need demanded him, had to travel in the
year more than 150 leagues, going from Chigabenakady to [Chegekkouk], from [Chegekkouk] to
Mirliguesch to Cap de Sable, and from this last place to various other small tribes, composed as
much of Acadians as of Savages, and, in all these various places, he has built as many chapels
(a).

Notice that the Abbé Le Loutre began his ministry in Acadia about 1738; he went to establish himself at Shubenacadie the 30th of September 1738. He did not say if he did build at the same time any rectories at these places, what he said, however, in this document of autobiography, to have made at some other more important places. We know all the same that he had a rectory at Pobomcoup, near the chapel, which was itself near the manor, because speaking of the events of 1756, the Abbé Desenclaves made mention of “my rectory and a modest chapel” which was this place (b). The Abbé Le Loutre visited these places every year, certainly the summer, for the description from 1748 of Acadia and the Mémoire of the same year say that 200 to 300 Indians gathered at the Poboncon River at Saint-Louis, the 25th of August, evidently to meet the missionary there.

B - Visits of the missionaries in general.
Before the arrival of the Abbé Le Loutre, certain missionaries in transit and above all the parish priest of Port-Royal visited from time to time Cap-Sable, which was part of the parish Saint-Jean-Baptiste de Port-Royal. It happened, however, that the Acadians of Cap-Sable returned to Port-Royal to marry and even to baptize their children. We discover through the parish registers of Port-Royal and of Grand-Pré, as well as in certain documents, some scanty news of the visits of the missionaries to Cap-Sable, in addition to which we have already spoken.

1 - In 1705.
We have already seen in the 20th and 21st chapters that before the final conquest of Acadia by the English, Père Félix Pain went to Cap-Sable in the month of May 1705, when “making the Mission at the South Coast and on the East of the Province of Acadia”, he administered baptism to numerous children. It is not possible to learn from the entries in the registers of Port-Royal at which precise place he was such and such a day; it is even possible that he only stopped at a single place and that there they brought to him the children to baptize. The 17th of May he baptizes a child of Julien Aubois of Ouikmakagan; the 21st, he baptizes a child of François Viger of the same place; the 22nd, he baptizes some children of François Amirault and one of Joseph Mius, “of Cap de Sable”; the following day, May 23rd, he baptizes some other children of François Amirault and two of François Viger, the latter of Ouikmakagan. We find at these baptisms as godfathers and godmothers people of almost all the centers of Cap-Sable, that is why we say that it is possible that the missionary did all these baptisms at the same place.

It is likely that Père Pain spent the summer of 1705 at Cap-Sable and in the vicinity, up to the month of September, because the entries which follow immediately in the registers of Port-Royal, dated on the 8th of September, are those of the children of Claude Guidry and of Marguerite Petitpas, of Merliguech, and of a child of Pierre Le Jeune and of Marie Thibodeau, of Petite-Rivière. Then the 10th of September the twins of Martin Le Jeune and of Marie Godet, of Port-Maltois, were baptized. In addition, Père Pain united in marriage the 14th of September Claude Le Jeune, son of Martin Le Jeune and of the late Marie Kayigonias, of Port-Maltois, with Anne-Marie Godet, daughter of Jean Godet and of the late Jeanne Henry, of Petite-Rivière. As all these baptisms were entered into the registers of Port-Royal the 23rd of October only, one must believe that the mission of Père Pain “at the South Coast and of the East” lasted upwards of five months.
. . . .
4 - In 1734.
The Abbé de Saint-Poncy and the Abbé Maufils did not stop in the region of La Hève-Merliguesh. The 27th of September, the Abbé de La Goudalie supplied the ceremonies of baptism for four of the children of Jean Le Jeune and Françoise Guidry, of Joseph Boutin and Françoise Pitre, and of François Viger and Claire Le Jeune, of which two were born before the two missionaries from Québec arrived at Cap-Sable in 1732. The 7th of October he baptized a child of François Landry and Marie Doucet, whom Bona Arsenault places at the Rivière-des-Habitants (a). The 13th of October he did a baptism at Baccareaux, that of Anne Mius, daughter of Charles-Amand Mius and Marie-Marthe Hébert, called here Marie-Joseph Hébert. The 16th of October he was at Pobomcoup, baptizing a child of Joseph d’Entremont and Cécile Boudreau, one of Charles Hébert and Claire Mius, and two of Pierre Bertrand and Marie Moulaison; note that one of them, Marie Bertrand, was born the 10th of June 1732, and hence before the missionaries de Saint-Poncy and Maufils passed through here. The Abbé de La Goudalie returned to Grand-Pré the 9th of November.

(8) p. 1927
We would not know to say if the titular of Sainte-Anne which was given at the return of the exile to the first chapel of Cap-Sable, that of Sainte-Anne-du-Ruisseau, was in memory of that of Tebôque, at little distance from there. But it is by coincidence that the church of Pubnico-East is consecrated to the Blessed Virgin, under the name of the Immaculate Conception, just as the first chapel on that shore of the harbor was also dedicated to her under the name of Notre-Dame.

We avail ourselves to mention another titular, that the authorities have not pointed out until now. It is that of Sainte-Croix, given to the parish of Merliguesh; it is no doubt from the Abbé Le Loutre. The fact is that Paul Guidry, son Claude and of Marguerite Petitpas, and his wife, Anne Mius, daughter of Philippe II Mius d’Entremont and of Marie, are called “natives of the parish Ste Croix in la Cadie” (a). Now they were both born in Merliguesh.

Françoise Guédry was baptized by her brother Baptiste Guedry on the day of her birth - 14 January 1703. Her parents are listed as Claude Guédry and Marguerite Petitpas, inhabitants of Merligueche. On 8 September 1705 she was baptized by a priest (Père Félix Pain) at Cap-Sable. Sponsors at her baptism were Pierre Bourg and Jeanne LeJeune. The baptism was recorded on 27 October 1705. It seems that Françoise Guedry’s baptism by Baptiste Guedry occurred at Mirliguéche in January 1703 and Françoise was later baptized by Père Pain during his trip to the Cap-Sable region in 1705. The baptism then was registered in the baptismal registry of St.-Jean-Baptiste de Port-Royal Catholic Church in Port Royal, Acadia when Père Pain returned to Port Royal4608,4609.

“Clarence Breaux sent the following answers to queries:

. . .

For Dolores Respess: Claude GUEDRY dit LAVERDURE, wife Marguerite PETITPAS and his family lived with the Indians and Métis (half-breeds) in the region of La Hève. The census of 1686 shows LAVERDURE, age 35, with wife and one child at Mistigouaiche (Mirliquesh, now Lunenburg, NS). The 1698 census shows the family at Port Royal and lists him as a farmer with ten cows and some sheep. They had left Port Royal by the time of the censuses of 1699 and 1701. In 1701 he was definitely at LaHève and he had two two of his children baptized at Mirligoueche. His father, first name unknown, may have been one of the rugged characters of the East Coast of Acadie (are of LaHève) who refused to follow Charles de MENOU de CHARNISAY, Seigneur d’AULNAY, when the settlement was moved to Port Royal. Perhaps he came with Isaac de RAZILLY or even with Charles de LA TOUR. It is very possible that he married an Indian squaw, as did LaTOUR and several others. In any case this GUEDRY’s wife’s name is unknown. Claude PETITPAS, Sieur de LAFLEUR, was a notary for the Court of Justice (gréffier du tribunal) at Port Royal and a farmer. His parents are unknown. Catherine BUGARET’s father was Bernard BUGARET dit SAINT MARTIN, who was a Basque carpenter. The wife’s name is unknown. (Sources: Arsenault; Rameau de St. Père in AGE Vol. IV #3; Archange GODBOUT in AGE Vol. VI #3). “4545

“ II - VIE RELIGIEUSE AU CAP-SABLE
A - Les chapelles.
Cette chapelle était une des trois que l’abbé Le Loutre avait érigées au Cap-Sable. La description de l’Acadie de 1748 nous dit que le missionnaire a fait construire une église à chacune des places suivantes: Ministiguesh, Peaubourcoup et Tébok (a). A part du titulaire de la chapelle de Tébok ou Tebôque, qui etait celui de Sainte-Anne (8), l’établissement lui-même étant appelé dans les registres paroissiaux de Cherbourg, du temps des exilés, Sainte-Anne de Tébok (b), nous connaissons le titulaire de la chapelle de Pobomcoup, qui était celui de Notre-Dame; en effet, dans une liste de l’Etat des familles Accadiennes retirées à Cherbourg et du Nombre des Personnes dont elle Sont Composées, Existantes au Premier Janvier 1778, les Acadiens nés à Pobomcoup sont dits de la Paroisse de notre dame de Pouboncoupe en accadie (c). Nous ne saurions dire à quelle date ces chapelles furent bâties, mais elles le furent sûrement toutes trois en même temps, et donc après l’érection de l’établissement de Tebôque. Nous connaissons assez exactement l’emplacement de quatre des cinq chapelles qu’il y eut au Cap-Sable, les deux autres étant à Abuptic et à Chegoggin. Celle de Sainte-Anne de Tebôque se trouvait sur l’île Durkee; mais nous n’avons pu trouver aucune traces d’elle, probablement parce qu’on a construit, sur cette île, des bâtiments, dont ceux qui s’y trouvent à l’heure actuelle, qui sont la propriété de l’entreprise laitière de la famile Cook de Chebougue.

L’abbé Le Loutre, dans son autobiographie, écrite lors de son retour en France après l’Expulsion, dit de lui-même:

Ce Missionnaire passant ... tantôt des Acadiens français aux Sauvages et tantôt de ces derniers
aux premiers, selon que le plus grand besoin l’exigeait, avait à parcourir dans l’année plus de
150 lieues, se transportant de Chigabenakady à [Chegekkouk], de [Chegekkouk] à Mirliguesch au
Cap de Sable, et de ce dernier lieu en différentes autres petites tribus, compsées tant
d’Acadiens que de Sauvages, et, dans tous ces différents lieux, il a fait bâtir autant de chapelles
(a).

Remarquons que l’abbé Le Loutre commença son ministère en Acadie vers 1738; il alla s’établir à Shubenacadie le 30 septembre 1738. Il ne dit pas s’il fut construire en même temps à ces endroits des presbytères, ce qu’il dit cependant, dans ce document de son autobiographie, avoir fait à d’autres endroits plus importants. Nous savons tout de même qu’il y eut un presbytère à Pobomcoup, près de la chapelle, qui était elle-même près du manoir, car parlant des événements de 1756, l’abbé Desenclaves faisait mention de “mon presbytère et une modeste chapelle” qui se trouvaient ici (b). L’abbé Le Loutre visitait ces lieux tous les ans, sûrement l’été, car la description de 1748 de l’Acadie et le Mémoire de la même année disent que 200 à 300 Amérindiens s’assemblent à la rivière de Poboncon à la Saint-Louis, 20 aôut, évidemment pour y rencontrer le missionnaire.

B - Visites des missionnaires en général.
Avant l’arrivée de l’abbé Le Loutre certains missionnaires de passage et surtout le curé de Port-Royal visitèrent de temps en temps le Cap-Sable, qui faisant partie de la paroisse Saint-Jean-Baptiste de Port-Royal. Il est arrivé cependant que les Acadiens du Cap-Sable se soient rendus à Port-Royal pour s’y marier et même pour faire baptiser leurs enfants. Nous trouvons à travers les registres paroissiaux de Port-Royal et de Grand-Pré, ainsi que dans certains documents, quelques rares échos des visites des missionnaires au Cap-Sable, dont d’ailleurs nous avons déjà parlé.

1 - En 1705.
Nous avons déjà vu aux chapitres 20ième et 21ième qu’avant la conquête définitive de l’Acadie par les Anglais, le Père Félix Pain se rendit au Cap-Sable au mois de mai 1705, quand “faisant la Mission a la Cote du Sud et de l’Est de la Province de L’Acadie”, il administra le baptême à de nombreux enfants. On ne peut pas savoir par les entrées aux registres de Port-Royal à quel endroit précis il se trouvait tel ou tel jour; il se peut même qu’il ne demeura qu’à un seul endroit et que là on lui apportait les enfants à baptiser. Le 17 mai, il baptise un enfant de Julien Aubois de Ouikmakagan; le 21, il baptise un enfant de François Viger au même endroit; le 22, il baptise des enfants de François Amirault et un de Joseph Mius, “du Cap de Sable”; le lendemain, 23 mai, il baptise d’autres enfants de François Amirault et deux de François Viger, celui-ci de Ouikmakagan. On trouve à ces baptêmes comme parrains ou marraines des gens de presque tous les centres du Cap-sable, ce pourquoi nous disons qu’il se peut que le missionnaire fit tous ces baptêmes au même endroit.

Il est probable que le Père Pain passa l’été de 1705 au Cap-Sable et aux environs, jusqu’au mois de septembre, car les entrées qui suivent immédiatement aux registres de Port-Royal, datées du 8 septembre, sont celles d’enfants de Claude Guidry et de Marguerite Petitpas, de Merliguech, et d’un enfant de Pierre Le Jeune et de Marie Thibodeau, de la Petite-Rivière. Puis le 10 septembre les jumeaux de Martin Le Jeune et de Marie Godet, de Port-Maltois, furent baptisés. En plus, le Père Pain unissait en mariage le 14 septembre Claude Le Jeune, fils de Martin Le Jeune et de feue Marie Kayigonias, de Port-Maltois, avec Anne-Marie Godet, fille de Jean Godet et de feue Jeanne Henry, de la Petite-Rivière. Comme tous ces baptêmes furent entrés aux registres de Port-Royal le 23 octobre seulement, il faut croire que la mission de Père pain “à la Côte du Sud et de l’Est” dura au-delà de cinq mois.
. . . .
4 - En 1734.
L’abbé de Saint-Poncy et l’abbé Maufils ne s’étaient pas arrêtés dans la région de La Hève-Merliguesh. Le 27 septembre 1734, l’abbé de La Goudalie y suppléait les cérémonies de baptême à quatre des enfants de Jean Le Jeune et Françoise Guidry, de Joseph Boutin et Françoise Pitre, et de François Viger et Calire Le Jeune, dont deux étaient nés avant que les deux prêtres de Québec n’arrivent au Cap-Sable en 1732. Le 7 octobre il baptisait un enfant de François Landry et Marie Doucet, que Bona Arsenault place à la Rivière-des-Habitants (a). Le 13 octobre il faisait un baptême à Baccareaux, celui d’Anne Mius, fille de Charles-Amand Mius et Marie-Marthe Hébert, dite ici Marie-Joseph Hébert. Le 16 octobre il était à Pobomcoup, baptisant un enfant de Joseph d’Entremont et Cécile Boudreau, un de Charles Hébert et Claire Mius, et deux de Pierre Bertrand et Marie Moulaison; notons que l’un d’eux, Marie Bertrand, était née le 10 juin 1732, et donc avant que les abbées de Saint-Poncy et Maufils ne passèrent par ici. L’abbé de La Goudalie était de retour à Grand-Pré le 9 novembre.

(8) p. 1927
Nous ne saurions dire si le titulaire de Sainte-Anne qui fut donné au retour de l’exil à la première chapelle du Cap-Sable, celle de Sainte-Anne-du-Ruisseau, fut en souvenir de celui de Tebôque, à peu de distance d là. Mais c’est par coïncidence que l’église de Pubnico-Est est dédiée à la Sainte Vierge, sous le vocable de l’Immaculée-Conception, tout comme la première chapelle de ce côté du havre lui était également dédiée sous le vocable de Notre-Dame.

Nous en profitons pour mentionner un autre titulaire, que les auteurs n’ont pas signalé jusqu’ici. C’est celui de Sainte-Croix, donné à la paroisse de Merliguesh; il est sans doute de l’abbé Le Loutre. C’est que Paul Guidry, fils de Claude et de Marguerite Petitpas, et son épouse, Anne Mius, fille de Philippe II Mius d’Entremont et de Marie, sont dit “natifs de la paroisse Ste Croix en la Cadie” (a). Or ils étaient tous deux nés à Merliguesh.

Translation:
“ II - RELIGIOUS LIFE AT CAP-SABLE
A - The chapels
This chapel was one of three that the Abbé Le Loutre had erected at Cap-Sable. The description of Acadia of 1748 shows us that the missionary had built a church at each of the following places: Ministiguesh, Peaubourcoup and Tébok (a). Aside from the titular of the chapel at Tébok or Téboque, which was that of Sainte-Anne (8), the settlement itself being called in the parish registers of Cherbourg, at the time of the exiles, Sainte-Anne de Tébok (b), we know the titular of the chapel at Pobomcoup, which was that of Notre-Dame; in fact, in a list of Account of the Acadian families retired at Cherbourg and of the Number of Persons of which they are Composed, Existing on the First of January 1778, the Acadians born at Pobomcoup are called from the Parish of notre dame of Pouboncoupe in accadie (c). We would not know to say on which date these chapels were built, but they were certainly all three at the same time, and to be sure after the establishment of the settlement of Tebôque. We know fairly accurately the site of four of the five chapels which he had at Cap-Sable, the two other being at Abuptic and at Chegoggin. The one of Sainte-Anne de Tebôque was on the isle Durkee; but we have not found any traces of it, probably somebody has erected, on the isle, some buildings, among which those that are there nowadays, which are the property of the dairy business of the Cook family of Chebogue.

The Abbé Le Loutre, in his autobiography, writing at the time of his return to France after the Expulsion, said of himself:

This missionary passing ... sometimes from the French Acadians to the Savages and sometimes
from the last to the first, according to which greater need demanded him, had to travel in the
year more than 150 leagues, going from Chigabenakady to [Chegekkouk], from [Chegekkouk] to
Mirliguesch to Cap de Sable, and from this last place to various other small tribes, composed as
much of Acadians as of Savages, and, in all these various places, he has built as many chapels
(a).

Notice that the Abbé Le Loutre began his ministry in Acadia about 1738; he went to establish himself at Shubenacadie the 30th of September 1738. He did not say if he did build at the same time any rectories at these places, what he said, however, in this document of autobiography, to have made at some other more important places. We know all the same that he had a rectory at Pobomcoup, near the chapel, which was itself near the manor, because speaking of the events of 1756, the Abbé Desenclaves made mention of “my rectory and a modest chapel” which was this place (b). The Abbé Le Loutre visited these places every year, certainly the summer, for the description from 1748 of Acadia and the Mémoire of the same year say that 200 to 300 Indians gathered at the Poboncon River at Saint-Louis, the 25th of August, evidently to meet the missionary there.

B - Visits of the missionaries in general.
Before the arrival of the Abbé Le Loutre, certain missionaries in transit and above all the parish priest of Port-Royal visited from time to time Cap-Sable, which was part of the parish Saint-Jean-Baptiste de Port-Royal. It happened, however, that the Acadians of Cap-Sable returned to Port-Royal to marry and even to baptize their children. We discover through the parish registers of Port-Royal and of Grand-Pré, as well as in certain documents, some scanty news of the visits of the missionaries to Cap-Sable, in addition to which we have already spoken.

1 - In 1705.
We have already seen in the 20th and 21st chapters that before the final conquest of Acadia by the English, Père Félix Pain went to Cap-Sable in the month of May 1705, when “making the Mission at the South Coast and on the East of the Province of Acadia”, he administered baptism to numerous children. It is not possible to learn from the entries in the registers of Port-Royal at which precise place he was such and such a day; it is even possible that he only stopped at a single place and that there they brought to him the children to baptize. The 17th of May he baptizes a child of Julien Aubois of Ouikmakagan; the 21st, he baptizes a child of François Viger of the same place; the 22nd, he baptizes some children of François Amirault and one of Joseph Mius, “of Cap de Sable”; the following day, May 23rd, he baptizes some other children of François Amirault and two of François Viger, the latter of Ouikmakagan. We find at these baptisms as godfathers and godmothers people of almost all the centers of Cap-Sable, that is why we say that it is possible that the missionary did all these baptisms at the same place.

It is likely that Père Pain spent the summer of 1705 at Cap-Sable and in the vicinity, up to the month of September, because the entries which follow immediately in the registers of Port-Royal, dated on the 8th of September, are those of the children of Claude Guidry and of Marguerite Petitpas, of Merliguech, and of a child of Pierre Le Jeune and of Marie Thibodeau, of Petite-Rivière. Then the 10th of September the twins of Martin Le Jeune and of Marie Godet, of Port-Maltois, were baptized. In addition, Père Pain united in marriage the 14th of September Claude Le Jeune, son of Martin Le Jeune and of the late Marie Kayigonias, of Port-Maltois, with Anne-Marie Godet, daughter of Jean Godet and of the late Jeanne Henry, of Petite-Rivière. As all these baptisms were entered into the registers of Port-Royal the 23rd of October only, one must believe that the mission of Père Pain “at the South Coast and of the East” lasted upwards of five months.
. . . .
4 - In 1734.
The Abbé de Saint-Poncy and the Abbé Maufils did not stop in the region of La Hève-Merliguesh. The 27th of September, the Abbé de La Goudalie supplied the ceremonies of baptism for four of the children of Jean Le Jeune and Françoise Guidry, of Joseph Boutin and Françoise Pitre, and of François Viger and Claire Le Jeune, of which two were born before the two missionaries from Québec arrived at Cap-Sable in 1732. The 7th of October he baptized a child of François Landry and Marie Doucet, whom Bona Arsenault places at the Rivière-des-Habitants (a). The 13th of October he did a baptism at Baccareaux, that of Anne Mius, daughter of Charles-Amand Mius and Marie-Marthe Hébert, called here Marie-Joseph Hébert. The 16th of October he was at Pobomcoup, baptizing a child of Joseph d’Entremont and Cécile Boudreau, one of Charles Hébert and Claire Mius, and two of Pierre Bertrand and Marie Moulaison; note that one of them, Marie Bertrand, was born the 10th of June 1732, and hence before the missionaries de Saint-Poncy and Maufils passed through here. The Abbé de La Goudalie returned to Grand-Pré the 9th of November.

(8) p. 1927
We would not know to say if the titular of Sainte-Anne which was given at the return of the exile to the first chapel of Cap-Sable, that of Sainte-Anne-du-Ruisseau, was in memory of that of Tebôque, at little distance from there. But it is by coincidence that the church of Pubnico-East is consecrated to the Blessed Virgin, under the name of the Immaculate Conception, just as the first chapel on that shore of the harbor was also dedicated to her under the name of Notre-Dame.

We avail ourselves to mention another titular, that the authorities have not pointed out until now. It is that of Sainte-Croix, given to the parish of Merliguesh; it is no doubt from the Abbé Le Loutre. The fact is that Paul Guidry, son of Claude and of Marguerite Petitpas, and his wife, Anne Mius, daughter of Philippe II Mius d’Entremont and of Marie, are called “natives of the parish Ste Croix in la Cadie” (a). Now they were both born in Merliguesh.

In the Acadian Genealogy Exchange4545 Clarence Breaux indicates that Claude Guedry had two children baptized at Merliguéche in 1701. In fact Paul Guédry and Françoise Guedry were baptized at Merliguéche by Père Felix Pain on 8 Sep 1705. Earlier Paul Guedry had been baptized probably on the day of his birth in January 1701 by Dyon (Dion or Joseph Guyon also called Joseph Dion, the husband of Marguerite Dugas - Paul Guédry’s half-sister) and Françoise Guedry had been baptized on the day of her birth (14 January 1703) by her brother Baptiste Guedry4580,4610.
