Jean Michel Surette, also known as Jean Louis Surette, and sometimes referred to in the registers as simply Michel Surette, was the first of the Surettes of Wedgeport. Born 1 October 1769 in Halifax, he could not have come to Wedgeport until the last decade of the 18th century, his marriage having taken place in 1790. He was the son of Joseph Surette (son of Pierre) and Marguerite Pellerin (daughter of Alexandre) and was the brother of Charles Henri Borromée and Joseph Frederic of Surette’s Island. His parents were from Saint-Laurent Parish of Port Royal. They escaped the Deportation, and in February 1762 they were in Halifax, where they received from Father Maillard the necessary dispensations for their marriage. But the priest died a few months later, so they were married before witnesses, and the marriage was ratified in Halifax on 4 June 1769 by Father Bailly. It is not known when the family of Joseph Surette came to Yarmouth County, or where precisely they settled. Jean Michel Surette married Rosalie Amirault on 28 January 1790. She was born at Cape Sable on 28 February 1767 (presumably the second girl born in Southwestern Nova Scotia after the return from exile), daughter of Jacques Amirault (son of Jacques) and Marie Madeleine Belliveau, called La Quanne (daughter of Pierre, son of Piau) of Amirault’s Hill. Presumably it was at this time that Jean Michel Surette moved to Wedgeport. -From "Histoire de Wedgeport," 1967, p. 24; translated and published in "Les Familles du Bas-de-Touquet (Wedgeport), 1767-1900, pp. 353-354.
