Guillaume Trahan is listed in the St. Jehan passenger list bound for Acadia on 1 April 1636:

"avec sa femme et deux enfants et un valet" ("Guillaume Trahan, an edge-tool maker, with his wife and two children, and a valet, also from Bourgeuil").

Mentioned in A Great and Noble Scheme (John Mack Faragher, 2006):

“Guillaume Trahan, maréchal de tranchant (steelsmith), with his wife Françoise Charbonneau, their two daughters, and a servant” (p.44)

After d'Aulnay created a town council, Guillaume Trahan was syndic  / president (effectively the mayor of Port Royal)

About the St. Jehan

In Acadian Genealogy, the 1636 voyage of the St. Jehan is prominent as the only record found so far listing the names of French colonists headed to the New World. "Jehan" is an old French way of writing "Jean" and thus the ship's name would now be written "St. Jean".

A transcript of the St. Jehan passenger list can be found here.

The original list is below, and is found at the French Archives of La Charente Maritime (under "Rôles d'équipage" in lower left; direct link).

Guillaume's name is found on the third page (recto), stamped with "321".
