Biography

Retrieved from Wikipedia - Philippe Mius d'Entremont (revision of 22 October 2024)

Philippe Mius d’Entremont was born in Normandy, France, and he was expelled from France because of his daughter's marriage[citation needed] and was sent to Acadia with his family in 1651 as a lieutenant-major with Charles de Saint-Étienne de la Tour, who had been named Governor of Acadia by Louis XIII of France first in 1631 and again by Louis XIV in 1651. The governor in July 1653 awarded him one of the few fiefs to constitute territory in North America, the first in Acadia, and the second in Canada, the Barony of Pobomcoup. The fiefdom, which operated under the same conditions as Europe's feudal system, is one of many solid pieces of evidence that Philippe was a noble in France.

Pobomcoup, meaning in Mi'kmaq "land from which the trees have been removed to fit it for cultivation",[2] extended from Cap-Nègre (Clyde River) to Cap-Fourchu (Yarmouth). He promoted agriculture on his seigneury and brought to his estate several indentured workers and a few families from Port-Royal. The settlement and Mius d'Entremont's residence were established at Pubnico, the modern spelling of Pobomcoup.

Pubnico is considered the oldest village in Nova Scotia still occupied by the Acadians and the oldest village in Canada still occupied by the descendants of its founder.[3]

In 1654, d'Entremont was captured by Major General Robert Sedgwick, who added Acadia to the British dominions after capturing the forts of Saint John, Port Royal, and the settlement of Penobscot. He did not resurface with his family until the colony was restored to France in 1670. He was then created a procureur du roi (King's attorney) in Acadia by Governor Hector d'Andigné de Grandfontaine, a post he retained until 1687. At an advanced age, he left his seigneurial estate, bequeathing the title of baron to his eldest son Jacques, and resided with his eldest daughter until he died in 1701.

The barony of Pobomcoup remained in the family until the expulsion of the Acadians, which began in 1755 by the British.[citation needed]

Family

Born circa 1609, Philippe married Madeleine Hélie in Normandy and had the following children:

Children

1. Marguerite Mius d'Entremont (1649–1714), married Pierre Melanson, founder of Grand-Pré
2. Jacques Mius d'Entremont, 2nd Baron of Pobomcoup (1654–1736), married Anne de Saint-Étienne de la Tour,[4] daughter of Charles de Saint-Étienne de la Tour
3. Abraham Mius d'Entremont (1658–1702), married Marguerite de Saint-Étienne de la Tour, sister of Anne de Saint-Étienne de la Tour
4. Philippe Mius d'Azy (1660- ), married a Mi'kmaq woman and became the progenitor of the Meuse and Muise families
5. Madeleine Mius d'Entremont (1669- )

An unsigned letter that has been attributed to H. Léander d'Entremont claims that Philippe was the same person as François Virgine, the son of Claude Antoine d'Albon de Montauban de Meuillon and Béatrix de Coligny, the latter of whom was the daughter of Gaspard II de Coligny and Jacqueline de Montbel d'Entremont.[5][6] However, neither Stephen A. White,[7][8] a well-known Acadian genealogist, nor the Dictionary of Canadian Biography,[1] identify Philippe's parents.

I'm afraid the verification is going to be negative. There's a genealogy of the Colignys in *Europaeische Stammtafeln*, ed. Schwennicke, Band XIV [1991], Taf. 60-64. Gaspard II, Admiral of France, appears on Tafel 61. He married twice, his first wife (marriage contract dated at Fontainebleau on 15 October 1547) was Charlotte de Laval (d. 1568), by whom he had eight children. His second wife (married at La Rochelle 25 March 1571) was Jacqueline de Montbel (born at Paris in 1541, imprisoned in 1573 and died, still in captivity, at the Castello d'Ivrea in December 1599). Jacqueline was the widow of Claude de Batarnay, Count du Bouchage.

After Gaspard was killed in the St Bartholomew's night massacre (24 August 1572), Jacqueline gave birth to their only child, Beatrix de Coligny, at Saint-Andre-de Briord on 21 December 1572. Beatrix married at Turin on 30 November 1600 (contract dated 17 July 1600) Claude Antoine d'Albon, Baron de Mevouillon et de Montauban, who died 26 February 1618.

Claude Antoine, son-in-law of the Admiral of France, wasn't named "Mius DE MEULLON". What's your source that says he was?

Philippe Mius d'Entremont was born in Normandy, France in 1609. In 1651, he met the Governor Charles de la Tour, who brought Philippe, his wife Madeleine and their daughter Marguerite to Acadia. On July 17, 1653, Charles de la Tour granted the Barony of Pombcoup to Philippe Mius d'Entremont and Pierre Ferrand, and named them Barons. Pierre Ferrand is believed to have remained at Port Royal. Philippe and Madeleine raised four more children, Jacques, Abraham, Philippe and Madeleine. The Baron was forced from his barony following an attack by a band of Dutchmen in 1675. In 1670, Philippe was appointed the King's Attorney General in Acadia. That is why in 1678, we find him with his family at Port-Royal. In 1688, Philippe Mius d'Entremont retired to Grand-Pré, where he died in 1699. Meanwhile, Jacques, eldest son of Baron Philippe Mius d'Entremont, took over the Barony. Those exiled from Pombcoup (today Pubnico) during the Deportations of 1756 and 1758 returned 11 years later in1767 to resettle the village. Pubnico is thus recognized as being the oldest Acadian village still inhabited by descendants of its founding families.

Philippe Mius d'Entremont of Cherbourg, Normandy, came to Acadia in 1651 as a lieutenant of Charles La Tour. Philippe was 50, married to Madeleine Hélie, and the father of a daughter, when he was named La Tour's adjutant. In 1653, during La Tour's second tenure as governor of the colony, he awarded the trusty D'Entremont the seigneury of Pobomcoup, now Pubnico, near Cap-Sable, where Philippe and Madeleine settled for most of their time in Acadia; Philippe thus became sieur d'Entremont, baron de Pobomcoup, lieutenant-major et commandant des troupes. In 1670, at age 69, upon the restoration of the colony to the French, Philippe became the King's attorney in Acadia. He served in this capacity until 1688, when old age and infirmity (he was 87!) compelled him to relinquish the post. He lived for a time at Minas and died c1700 at age 99, "with all his teeth."

!RESIDENCES: He was to be the founder of Pubnico [before the Expulsion, Cape Sable]. "In 1653 , Charles de LA TOUR gave him the choice to settle wherever he would like. He chose what wa s then known to the Indians as Pobomcoup, meaning 'a place where holes have been made throug h the ice to fish.' Charles de LA TOUR erected the place into a barony, the first ever consti tuted in Acadia, and the second in all Canada. He gave to Philippe the title of Baron. The ce nter of the barony was located on the east side of the harbor, not far from its head.

Baron Philippe Mius d’Entremont was born in Cherbourg, Normandy and came from a longtime noble family, and was brought to Acadia with his family in 1651 by the new governor Charles de Saint-Étienne de la Tour. The governor in July 1653 awarded him one of the few fiefs to constitute territory in North America, the Barony of Poboncoup, extending from Cap Nègre to Cap Fourchu (Yarmouth), and in 1670 appointed him lieutenant-major and commander of the king’s troops, and procureur du roi (crown attorney), which post he retained until 1687.

He was briefly captured in 1654 by Major Robert Sedgwick, during the latter's pass through Acadia, but resurfaced with his family following this English occupation.

d’Entremont was important to the colony's history as an administrator, and because he promoted agriculture on his seigneury. The settlement and d'Entremont's residence were established at Pubnico, the modern spelling of Poboncoup.
