He was an English protestant colonist, originally from Plymouth, England. He arrived in Acadia around 1657 and became Catholic in order to marry Marie Landry around 1660.
- From the well researched book,Les famille Maillet du Comté de Kent & du sud-est du N.-B. by Julien Belley. ISBN 0-9681050-0-9 , Copyright 1996
Laurent Granger, a young sailor from Plymouth, England, came to Acadia in the late 1650s during the English occupation. He married Marie, 17-year-old daughter of René Landry l'âiné and Perrine Bourg, at Port-Royal in c1667. Laurent had to convert to Catholicism to marry his Acadian girl. She gave him nine children, including five sons, all born in Port-Royal, who created families of their own.
Occupation 1655, England, United Kingdom - Matelot is British slang for "Sailor" for Sir Thomas Temple
According to one note Family Search, his parents are:
- John Granger IV 1574 and Grace Membartou 1684 and his sibling are:
- Grace Micmac 1600, Eleanor 1609, and Launcelot 1609 (named for a granduncle?)
- George 1631, Jane/Jeanne 1635, and Mary 1639.
It seems unlikely that Grace Membartou would have had children at the age of 47, 51, 55 and 59. The second set of siblings seems like a different generation.
Alternately, the Family Search Family Tree sets his parents as possibly:
- John Granger 1600 and Grace Yeaton 1655
But obviously his mother can't have been born after he was. Typo for 1605 for her DOB? It also has John's father as John, but born 1631, so the Granger genealogy has some serious problems.
