Laurent GRANGER 1637-1698 who arrived in Acadia as a sailor on an English vessel, is the first Granger of this direct line of descent. The following censuses recorded the enlargement of the family and it’s properties. By order of Richelieu, the colonists who were populate Acadia had to be French and catholic, this was not the case of Laurent GRANGER who renounced his protestant religion in order to marry Marie LANDRY. The missionnaries incited Acadian couples to have serveral children, and in April 1666 a Court order declared « All inhabitants of New France having 10 living children, born in legitimate marriage, neither priests, nor nuns, will be paid deniers by His Majesty ».
From the union of Laurent GRANGER and Marie LANDRI 9 children were born : Marie Marguerite, Pierre, Jacques, joseph, René, Claude, Marie, Anne et Laurent.

One of the first census' of Port Royal in 1671 notes that Laurent Granger was a thirty year old sailor, Marie Landri his wife was twenty four, they then had two children, Marguerite, three years old and Pierre 9 months old. They had five horned animals, six ewes and four acres of workable land. In the same year, Colbert sent about fifty new colonists to Acadia and the foundation of Beaubassin, Grand-pré, Ducks River, Pisiguit and Cobéquid could be witnessed. They can still be found in Nova Scotia.

En 1693, the census of Port Royal indicates that fivie children of the
GRANGER/LANDRI couple were still living at the family home. They then had 15 horned animals, 20 ewes, 12 pigs, 12 acres and 2 shotguns. The war between France and England continued and Acadia was given back to the French by the Treaty of Ryswick (1697). Laurent GRANGER died during this period. His wife died in 1719. She was 70 years old.
