PLEASE, NO invitations or self promotions, THEY WILL BE DELETED. My photos are FREE to use, just give me credit and it would be nice if you let me know, thanks. Sign of the times of Covid-19, it did take away from the atmosphere. De Gannes Property - Michel de Gannes de Falaise (1702-1752) held a commission in the colonial troops. Born to a military family at Port Royal in Acadia, he trained in Quebec but saw much of his service here alongside military in-laws and cousins. Twice during 1744, de Gannes was off making war in British-held Acadia, leaving this house to his wife Elisabeth de Catalogne and six children. They had a seventh child later, 5 daughters and 2 sons in total. He also had a daughter with Marie-Anne Carrerot, his mistress before he got married. A insulating layer of Boston boards conceals the simple log walls of Michel de Gannes’ house as well as other homes of people with noble names. Rich and poor people lived close together in the eighteenth century, the elite never doubted their superiority and felt no need to be isolated from lesser folk. Workmen and clerks laboured and sometimes lived in the nearby storehouses. Tailors and wig makers made their rounds to the houses and nearly every household included at least one servant. The lives of servants hide from scrutiny. One slave won freedom, married and acquired land; labourer's and fishermen's daughters might serve until they saved a dowry and could marry and raise a family, but many servants lived plain and silent lives, dependent on the families they served. In a little house like this one, a domestic would have been lucky to get a bed in the attic — some servants simply curled up in a corner of the kitchen. Despite their obscurity the presence of servants and working people throughout the community was important in that time. |
