The first VINCENT to arrive in Acadie was Pierre (the elder.)  

Vincent, first ancestor known in America
Father Léopold Lanctôt omi says in a book whose title is: FAMILIES ACADIENNES (Volume II), the following:
"Pierre Vincent, was born in France in 1631. He came to Acadia, Canada in 1654, with Emmanuel Le Borgne, Sieur du Coudray, merchant of La Rochelle, just supply the colony, where he has business interests. The Châteaufort, armed in war, made available by Le Borgne by his associate, the Duke of Vendome, from La Rochelle 25 March 1654. It carries on board some new settlers, and Pierre Vincent, Michel Richard, laborers, and Pierre Thibodeau, miller . It is also loaded with supplies, weapons and ammunition, whose value amounts to 75,000 pounds ($ 15,000). the ship of 300 tons arrived in Port-Royal in mid-May 1654. "
"A few days after his arrival, Pierre Vincent attends the capture of Port Royal by Sedwick ....."
When Father Lanctôt writes about Pierre Thibodeau, he said and I quote:
"...... Emmanuel Le Borgne of Belleisle, lord of Port Royal ......"
"...... The Châteaufort, captained by Guilbeau ......."

"Two months after the arrival of Peter" (Thibodeau) "in Acadia, July 31, 1654, although one is right in peacetime, a British fleet commanded by Major Robert Sedgwick, appeared before Port Royal . it is composed of three warships and a ketch (sailboat with two masts), carrying 500 soldiers of fort Sedgwick arrives the Saint John river, which he took over and where he made prisoner Charles Saint-Étienne de La Tour, governor of Acadia. After two weeks of stubborn resistance, despite its small garrison of 120 men, Germain Doucet, said La Verdure, commander of Port Royal, to capitulate. the French garrison and its commander . and Le Borgne, are returned to France aboard Châteauford After the departure of the French garrison, the English also leave Port Royal, leaving no garrison: people govern themselves through a Council chaired by a trustee, Guillaume Trahan. (His daughter Jeanne married Pierre (II) Vincent).

Pierre was married in 1662 to Anne Gaudet daughter of Denis Gaudet and Martine Gauthier. She was born in Port Royal, Nova Scotia.  Records show that by 1686 he was deceased.  He and Anne had one daughter, Huguette, and four sons, Clement, Pierre, Thomas (must have died young), and Michel.
