Jean Claude was born about 1593. Jean was deceased prior to the 1671 census (see attached). HE DOES NOT HAVE ANY DIT NAMES - his name is JUST Jean Claude.
Please note:
For many years, people have assumed that Jean Claude's (or Glaude) last name was Landry, due to various genealogical and Acadian historical publications. The last name of Landry is in error according to extensive research by Steven A White, historian and genealogist at the University of Moncton's Centre d'Etudes Acadiennes in Moncton, New Bruswick; Father Clarence J d'Entremont, Middle West Pubnico, Yarmouth, Nova Scotia, genealogist and author; and Dr. Don Landry of Metaire, Louisiana, historian for the Landry Family Association.
The following is from the Acadian.org site:
Father Clarence d'Entremont states, "Nowhere in any census or other documents is to be found an Acadian by the name of Jean-Claude Landry. Jean-Claude Landry is effectively fictitious. There is no record showing that such a person ever existed. The husband of Marie Sallé is simply called Jean (or Jehan) Claude in the censuses of 1671 and 1678. According to archives, Marie Salé was married to Jean Claude.
I repeat, the name Jean Claude Landry is not to be found anywhere in the history of Acadia at the time; plus that the husband of Marie Sallé was Jean Claude, PERIOD. He was a Micmac Indian. The Indians with the name Claude used to be quite numerous in Nova Scotia, the name became Glaude; in my young days I knew a number of them, who would write their name Glode (In French "au" is pronounced "o"). . His name occurs twice in the Port Royal Church Registers, ALWAYS as Jehan Claude, NEVER given as family name "Landry". As a matter of fact, if Claude had not been his family name, it would mean that the register gives him his first and SECOND name.
Moreover, the registers of Port Royal ALWAYS give the WHOLE name of persons; but the fact is that Jehan Claude has his name given thus, NEVER with another name added to those two. If the family name had been omitted in the registers, it would be the only time that such a thing occurred in any register. Thus CLAUDE was the family name."
