Other Names
In the census made of Minas in 1618, about five years after Pierre Melanson’s advent to the Gaspereau, the families of
| Pierre Melanson | |
| Martin Ancoin, | |
| Phillippe Pinet, | |
| Etienne Hebert | (Forebear of the sculptor mentioned previously author of the Evangeline statue), |
| Noel de la Bove, | |
| Francois la Pierre | (or la Roche), |
| Etienne Rivet, | |
| Pierre Terriot, |
are mentioned with particulars of their worldly condition and size of family.
Three of the Minas inhabitants mentioned on the 1686 list, de la Bove, la Pierre, and Rivet, were newcomers to Acadia, and for some reason failed to make headway in the country. Their descendants were few, and the names disappear from the annals.
