Question: Anyone know if Peter Poitevint, b!. 2 Aug 1754, was Acadian!?
Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
No, the Poitevint family came directly from France to the US!. The first member of the family was Jacques Poitevint, b!. ca 1620 in Gule, France!.

Then was his son Antoine, b!. ca 1656 in Orsemont, Gule, FR and may have died in England!.

His son Pierre was the first to the US!. He was b!. ca!. 1686 in Orleanais, FR and d!. 1729 in NC!.

His son Joseph was the father of your Peter!. He was born in NC on April 22, 1705!.

They never went to Acadia and spent their entire time in North America in the Carolinas to that point!. So they're purely French!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
