Occasionally I've received requests for information on the Doiron family that I mentioned in conjunction with Henry Ripley's homestead. Today I came across a list of excellent Acadian History resources online. These include passenger lists, early census records, links to places Acadians were deported, lists of prisoners held during the deportation (scroll down to Nova Scotia in the list), and family genealogies. The genealogy by Stephen White at the University of Moncton and the list of Acadian prisoners held at Fort Cumberland (Beausejour) may be particularly useful. I now understand that Pierre Doiron (Gould) was the patriarch of this family and that Francois, Louis and Isadore were his sons. It's possible that the Lewis and Mary Gould who lived next to Henry were Pierre's son Louis Doiron and Marie Bonnevie. John "Gallong" may have been the Jean-Baptiste Gallant who married Pierre's daughter Anne.

AuthorHi there! My name is Mallory Burton and I started researching the Ripley family in 2011. I'd describe myself as a careful amateur who's more interested in story than names and dates. I hope you enjoy my website and blog. I also have a public Mallory/Ripley tree on Ancestry with over 4,000 names. To contact me, please comment on any one of my blog posts. Archives
