Abraham Dugas, a skilled gunsmith perhaps from Chouppes, Poitiers, France, born in c1616, reached Acadia in c1640 and was thus among the earliest settlers in the colony. In October 1687, Abraham "made his mark on an attestation in favour of Governor d'Aulnay's accomplishments," which shows how early he had come to the colony. Abraham also was more than a gunsmith at Port-Royal. According to a high French official, Abraham Dugas "carried out the functions of general representative of the King [in civil and criminal matters]." Abraham married Marguerite, daughter of Germain Doucet, sieur de La Verdure, at Port-Royal in c1647. They had eight children, including three sons, all born at Port-Royal, who created families of their own. Abraham's five daughters married into the Melanson dit La Ramée, Bourgeois, Châtillon, Arseneau, and LeBlanc families. Abraham died at Port-Royal by 1700. In December 1705, in order to increase the size of the fort at Port-Royal, colonial officials appropriated two lots "adjoining and drawing towards the old fort" that belonged to Abraham's heirs. Some of his children left Port-Royal and settled at Chignecto, Cap-Sable, Minas, and on Île Royale, today's Cape Breton Island.
