- According to Archange Godbout, Marie's father Isaac Pesseley was from the French Comté of Champagne in France. This first husband of Barbe was a Merchant from Piney. Isaac Pesseley was married to Barbe Bajolet, also Champenoise and daughter of Antoine Bajolet, First mule-driver of Queen Marie de Médicis and of Jeanne Beaudinet. Source:
Isaac Pesseley and Barbe Bajolet are believed to have married in 1629 based on the fact that in October 1630 they baptized their first child Etienne. In 1633 one finds the birth of Marguerite; then in 1634 that of Perrette.
Isaac Pesseley was on the list of passengers of the St-Jehan departing for Acadia in 1636. Under the governorship of Sieur d'Aulnay, the St-Jehan ship arrives. It is one of the first ships carrying families, women and children to Acadia. Isaac was named Major of Port-Royal, then Colonel which gave him a defensive function.
Isaac Pesseley is said to have been an associate of Sieur de Rasilly who had died in 1635 and was replaced by Sieur d'Aulnay. Our ancestor Colonel Pesseley was killed during a three-day battle at Fort Jemseg between Lieutenant Governors Sieur D'Aulnay and Charles Latour from April 15 to 17, 1645. [1]
