    • Notes for Pierre La Verdure:
      C.T. Breaux, UNE LIGNEE NOBLE EN FRANCE, QUBEC, ACADIA, LOUSIANE, Revised 2 Jun 1986. "As a result of the fall of La Rochelle in 1628, when the death blow was delivered to the Calvinists in France, Pierre went to England where he married. He and Priscilla had three sons at least, all born in England. In the spring of 1657 the family embarked in England on board the vessel Satisfaction, under the command of Captain Peter Butler, forming part of the company which Thomas Temple was transporting to Acadia, over which he had been named Governor after its capture by the English. Having first stopped at Boston, Captain Butler next went to the fort on the St. John River, where a group of his passengers disembarked, and finally to Port Royal. It appears the LAVERDURE (or Melanson, as they were also known) family stopped at Fort St. John. After the Treaty of Breda, under which in 1667 England ceded Acadia to France, Pierre and Priscilla went to seek refuge under the Protestant government at Boston, leaving behind in Acadia two of his sons, Pierre and Charles, with their young children."
