Sauf pour Jehan qui est né en France, les quatre premières générations de cette branche sont nés, élevés et enterré dans l'Acadie.

Trajet de la Cinquième Génération.  Joseph I, de la 5ième génération, est née vers 1719 à la Rivière aux Canards, Acadie où il a été élevé. Plus tards, il a déménagé à le peuplement plus prospère de Beaubassin où il a épousé Agnès Cormier en 1745. Avec l'incendie de Beaubassin en 1750 suivie par les conflits avec les Anglais, il décide de quitter son pay natale et de migrer avec sa femme et ses six enfants à la région de Montmagny sur le fleuve Saint-Laurent en 1759. Après leur fille Catherine est née en Janvier, ils se retirèrent sur ​​leur marche vers le ouest jusqu'à la rivière St-Jean, puis continuer vers le

nord au Québec. Ils sont arrivés dans la région de Montmagny vers Novembre 1759 ou ils ont baptisé leur petite Catherine à la parroisse de Saint François de Sales de la Rivière du Sud dans Montmagny. Après plusieurs années, Joseph et Agnès ont finalement reçu une octroi de terre où il s'est installé sur la Côtes des Chênes à St-Jean-Port-Joli. Aujourd'hui, un monument est érigé en leur honneur par l'Association des familles Thériault d'Amérique.

Générations 6 à 9 ont vécu dans la province de Québec (St-Jean-Port-Joli, Saint-Arsène et Rivière-du-Loup).

Jacques-Léon [RIN 49], fils aîné de Joseph I et frère de Anselme, Charles et Antoine vivait à St-Jean-Port-Joli, après leur arrivée à partir de Beaubassin. Certains des fils de Jacques-Léon a déménagé à d'autres domaines proches par contre. Un des trois fils de Jacques-Léon , Pierre [RIN 2268] par exemple, a suivi son oncle Anselme et son cousin Abraham pour aller defriché certaines terres dans les colonies arrière de Cacouna près de 1811.

Pierre-Cyrille Terriot, son of Jacques-Léon and Marie Francoise Fortin, was born on 25 October 1795 in St Jean Port-Joli, Québec. 		 Pierre Thériault and Marie Anne Morin were the god-parents.

According to the Great-Branch delegate, André Thériault, Pierre-Cyrille may have served in the War of 1812. He married Marie-Angèle Tardif on 2 September 1822 in St Pascal de Kamouraska. Unfortunately, Marie-Angèle died in 1826 of unknown causes. Three years later, Pierre-Cyrille remarried to Scholastique Pelletier, daughter of François and Scholastique Morin in St Jean Port-Joli. They had eight children. In 1851, Pierre resided on the 3rd Row of Ste Arsène parish. He was a farmer. He died at the age of 96 on 8 April 1891 and was buried on 11 April under the church of St Arsène. His head stone is shown at right. (Click on photos to enlarge.)
    This is the headstone for Pierre-Cyrille which was originally installed to mark the site of his burial under the church of St Arsène. Sometime later, it was removed from the church and kept at the home (in a shed) of Marguerite Thériault, daughter of Gaudiode of Rivière du Loup. We understand that Pierre-Cyrille donated the land where the church of St-Arsène stands today.

In 1872, he married Vénérande, the daughter of Stanislaus Roy and Esther Gagnon. They had four children after which Vénérande died in 1884. A year later, Placide remarried to Césarie Martin. Placide died in 1913 and was buried in Rivière du Loup, Québec.
(Right) Thadée Thériault, third son and fifth child of Pierre-Cyrille and Scholastique Pelletier, was born in 1839. In 1870, he married Arthémise Cimon of St Roch des Aulnies, Québec.		 They had at least one child, a daughter, Éloise Alice in 1877. Thadée died in 1920 in Rivière du Loup.
