Gervais Baudin Notes for Gervais Baudin: !This information was taken from an article in the Deep South Genealogical Quarterly, February 1968, entitled "Spain and Mobile" by E. Herndon Smith, Mobile Public Library: "Under Spanish rule much property changed hands. A few of the old French grants remained. Mon Louis Island remained in the possession of the heirs of Nicholas Baudin. He was neither interpreter, pilot or surveyor, but was awarded this estate for other reasons. He had married Francoise Pollet and Iberville had married Marie Pollet. Nicholas Baudin (Beaudoin) and his brother, Michael, the Jesuit who was excommunicated, were the sons of Gervais Beaudoin, a French physician who had settled Quebec. "The colonists who came from Canada differed in some respects from those gathered from the towns and villages of France by the John Law Company. They loved the woods and the water and built their homes on the bayous or near the bay. Those from France preferred the sights and sounds of the streets of Mobile and New Orleans. They became shrewd in business transactions, more sophisticated in manners. The courier des bois roamed the wild lands, and far from civilization, mingled and mixed with the Indians." Miles Womack has information (from Joan and Anabell Newman) stating that Gervais Beaudoin was a physician from France who settled in Quebec, Canada, then in Mobile, Ala. He was the father of Nicholas and Michael Beaudoin. Children of Gervais Baudin are: i. Michael Baudin Notes for Michael Baudin: For information on Michael, see the article entitled "Spain and Mobile" in theDeep South Genealogical Quarterly, part of which is quoted under GervaisBaudin. 42 ii.
