Andre was involved in some local Acadian history, and was quite famous inthat
area. It seems that Claude de LaTour held the St. John River area in whatis
now New Brunswick (then Acadia). Isaac de Razilly of Touraine grantedLatour
the Signeurie de Jemseg, a rich hunting and fishing area along the SainteJohn
River in New Brunswick. It was there that Claude de LaTour built the fort
Jemsig.
Andre Bernard arrived in Acadia in 1641 in order to serve with SieurCharles
de Latour at Fort Jemseg. In April, .... de Aulinay (Governor of Acadia)
decided to mount a decisive attack on fort Jemseg. Madame de LaTour and50 men
bravely resisted the attack. At the time, Claude de LaTour was in Boston.It
was a murderous fight. d'Aulnay lost 33 men, but succeeded in capturingthe
fort after a three-day battle ending on April 17, 1645. He seized "jewels,
silver and furnishings worth up to 10,000 louis". Many of LaTour's menwere
hanged after Council deliberations, "to serve as an example, and as alesson
to posterity of such an obstinate rebellion." Andre Bernard's life wasspared
when he signed an affidavid on May 15, 1645. After the taking of FortJemseg
by d'Aulnay, in 1645 he escaped to France vai New York, and laterreturned to
New France after the rehabilitation of Claude de LaTour, by the court of
France.
It's possible that Andre's wife was an Indian, which was not all thatuncommon
in those times, as he spent most all his life in the woods ofupper-Canada.
