The loyalists stole his land from his children soon after. His children were deported and forced to become de-facto slaves in the southern plantations. Eventually they found refuge in the swamps of Lousiana, as part of a deal between France and Spain.

My branch of the family was deported as well, but eventually made their way to Quebec, settling in the Beauce region. Later, their descendants settled in Maine, USA.

Hi Tanya,
My great, great grandfather was Arsene Thibodeau (1797- bef 1888), who lived in West Baton Rouge Parish. I recently discovered (to my surprise!) he did own slaves. I’m sorry, but I don’t know anything about the families. Hope this is helpful for you.
I have not found any Picou connections.

Tanya:

The Thibaudeau family was not enslaved. They were deported from the land they owned in what is today Nova-Scotia to the mid-atlantic states –Marland, Virginia. Once there, the only way they could survive was to work in the plantations, alongside African-American slaves. So, by their lifestlyle, they were de-facto slaves.

Years later, the Thibaudeau’s and other Acadian families were granted new lands of their own, in the swomps in LA. Once there, they behaved just as unscrupulously as the rest of the white population, just like Rosilyn describes.

Howdy from Texas!
(Salut du texas!)

It looks like the “Thibaudeau” have ended up all over the world!

Pierre was my 8th-great-grand father. I’m descended from him via his 8th child, Jean (c. 1674-1746).

Do anyone know when/why/how the surname’s spelling has changed?

The plaque shown above reads “Thibaudeau.” My great-grand father, Tilton, used “Thibodaux” [like the city in Louisiana, whereabouts his family resided]. However, my grand-father, Raymond, used the common spelling but added an -x at the end: “Thibodeaux.” That’s probably because he & his siblings were taught that by grade school teachers (it reads “-aux” on his birth certificate, but he used this “-eaux” spelling on his social security card application, so it became official. Thus, it’s the same spelling used by my mother before her marriage).

I’m still new to the genealogy, so it’s nice to locate a place on the web where distant “cousins.”

My name is Jolie Thibodaux. I am also a decendent of Pierre Thibault, or Thibadeau. My Grandfather had papers with our family crest on it and the whole story about coming from France.

Hello Cousins,

I am also descended from Pierre. My great-great Grandfather was Franklin Thibodeau, born in Lexington, Michigan 1851. My great-great-great gandfather was Peter. My great grandmother was Nellie Thibodeau Shepherd, my grandmother Mildred A Shepherd Hansen and my father is Robert Hansen. We live in Wichita, Kansas. I would love to hear from any of you !! This is so much fun !!

Yves Thibaudeau — Fri, 30 Nov 2007 06:18:04 +0000

Jolie: I was unaware a crest had survived as recently as that. In anycase, the family goes way back. It is believed our name goes back to a frankish barbarian king, “Theobald,” around 500 A.D. Good luck!

I am not sure how I came to be on this site but perhaps someone can help me.

I am descended from Joseph Oliver Thibaudeau who, I think, was born about 1730 in Nova Scotia. His parents were Jean Thibaudeau and Ann de Bebrien. He was my g g g grandfather. At some time before 1782 he arrived in Ireland and married Sussanah Mason and at some time after that the name was changed to Tibeaudo. My grandfather whose mother was a Tibeaudo came to Australia in 1890.

Would anyone out there have heard of this Joseph Oliver Thibaudeau or his father Jean Thibaudeau ?

Franklin Thibodeau was my grandmother Margaret Thibodeau’s brother. Peter and Lois Jeanette Stevens Thibodeau were my great grandparents.

Hello to all of you Thibodeau(x) descendants! Pierre Thibodeau(1631-1704) is my 9th great-grandfather.My lineage is as follows: Pierre (married to Marie-Anne Aucoin), Paul (married to Marguerite Trahan), Pierre Cyrille (married to Francoise Sonnier), Pierre Cyrille II (married to Marguerite Victoria Richard), Jean Baptiste (married to Azelie Phillippe Richard), Jean Baptiste II (married to Elizabeth Smith), Felician (married to Elina Lavergne), Cyphrien (married to Adele Rivette), Ferdie - my father (married to Nelda Barousse), Germaine Thibodeaux Wearden. I have 3 sons and 2grandsons who are very proud of their Thibodeaux lineage. My grandparents were born in Grand Coteau, Louisiana and raised their 13 children in Church Point, LA. My grandfather died when my dad was 13, so I never knew him, but my dad was (he died in 1992) a honest, hard working man very respected and liked by all he came into contact with. My hope is to travel to Canada to the area what these wonderful people lived and walk on the land where they did! Would love to hear from any and all of you!

To Wendy Lileith,
Joseph Olivier Thibaudeau was also my G.G.G.Grandfather. As far as I can work out, he was born in 1740, he was a solicitor, and he married Susannah Mason in Portnabruck, Ireland, in 1775. One of his sons, Oliver Anselm Thibaudeau, married Harriet Edgehill in 1825 in Clonasee, Ireland - as well as two previous marriages in Sri Lanka. With Harriet he had 9 or 10 kids, including Oliver Drought Thibaudeau (b. 1826 in Tipperary) who came to Australia and married Bridget Anne Boland (also from Ireland) near Wagga in 1855. One of their children, Olivia Josephine Thibaudeau, was my Grandmother who died in Bondi in 1958. I’m trying to trace this part of the family but just getting more confused in the process. I had no idea that Joseph Olivier Anselme was born in Nova Scotia and went to Irelend. I’d be really interested to learn more. I live in Sydney.

to all Thibodeau’s Well Come;
I am descended from Pierre but my section of the family went into the hills to stay in Nova Scotia. I have an acquaintance that is running the tree to as far as he can, unfortunately I have his e-mail address at home I’ll post it later. My grandfather Joseph Wilfred Thibodeau went to St Stephens College around 1910 - He was Frozen in Boston Harbor in 1917 where he stayed at my future gandmothers fathers celler. I understand a lot of the old French Canadians used the same first name for their male and female children - it happenon my Grandmothers family they were from Petit-de-Gras up near Arachat.
Hope to hear more - I’ll post the other e-mail address after I get his permission
its nice to meet new relatives all the time
Brian

It is amazing all this information out there on our family. Just one word about the family name. Pierre Thibaudeau was well-off by all accounts. Our familly also had its share of nobility –I believe one count Thibaudeau was Napoleon’s lawyer. But many of their relatives probably could barely read and write. It is amazing in fact the name survived more or less unaltered –Thibodeau, Thibodeaux, Thibaudeau…– after all these years!
