Philippe Mius d’Entremont, 1st Baron of Pobomcoup (c. 1609–1701) was an early settler of Acadia, and progenitor of the Muise and d’Entremont families of Nova Scotia.[1]
Philippe Mius d’Entremont was born in Normandy, France, and he was expelled from France because of his daughter's marriage and was sent to Acadia with his family in 1651 as a lieutenant-major with Charles de Saint-Étienne de la Tour, who had been named Governor of Acadia by Louis XIII first in 1631 and again by Louis XIV in 1651. The governor in July 1653 awarded him one of the few fiefs to constitute territory in North America, the first in Acadia, and the second in Canada, the Barony of Pobomcoup. The fiefdom, which operated under the same conditions as Europe's feudal system, is one of many solid pieces of evidence that Philippe was a noble in France.
Pobomcoup, meaning in Mi'kmaq "land from which the trees have been removed to fit it for cultivation",[2] extended from Cap-Nègre (Clyde River) to Cap-Fourchu (Yarmouth). He promoted agriculture on his seigneury and brought to his estate several indentured workers and a few families from Port-Royal. The settlement and Mius d'Entremont's residence were established at Pubnico, the modern spelling of Pobomcoup.
Pubnico is considered the oldest village in Nova Scotia still occupied by the Acadians and the oldest village in Canada still occupied by the descendants of its founder.[3]
In 1654, d'Entremont was captured by Major General Robert Sedgwick, who added Acadia to the British dominions after capturing the forts of Saint John, Port Royal, and the settlement of Penobscot. He did not resurface with his family until the colony was restored to France in 1670. He was then created a procureur du roi (King's attorney) in Acadia by Governor Hector d'Andigné de Grandfontaine, a post he retained until 1687. At an advanced age, he left his seigneurial estate, bequeathing the title of baron to his eldest son Jacques, and resided with his eldest daughter until he died in 1701.
ポボンクプ男爵領は、1755年にイギリス人によって始まった アカディア人の追放まで、この一族の所有のままであった。
フィリップは1609年頃に生まれ、ノルマンディーでマドレーヌ・エリーと結婚し、以下の子供をもうけた。
H. レアンダー・ダントルモンに帰せられる署名のない手紙には、フィリップはクロード・アントワーヌ・ダルボン・ド・モントーバン・ド・ムイヨンとベアトリクス・ド・コリニーの息子であるフランソワ・ヴィルジーヌと同一人物であると主張している。ベアトリクス・ド・コリニーはガスパール2世・ド・コリニーとジャクリーヌ・ド・モンベル・ダントルモンの娘であった。[ 5 ] [ 6 ]しかし、有名なアカディア人の系図学者であるスティーブン・A・ホワイト[ 7 ] [ 8 ]も、『カナダ人名辞典』 [ 1 ]もフィリップの両親を明らかにしていない。
