Joseph-Nicolas Gautier
Joseph-Nicolas Gautier dit Bellair (1689–1752) was one of the wealthiest Acadians as a merchant trader and a leader of the Acadian militia.〔Bernard, p. 64〕 He participated in war efforts against the British during King George's War and Father Le Loutre’s War. In the latter war, Gautier was particularly instrumental in the Acadian Exodus.
== King George's War ==
Gautier was born at Rochefort, France. He arrived at Port Royal around 1710 and became elected as a deputy by 1732. He became one of the wealthiest and prominent Acadians.〔Lockerby, p. 75〕 Through engaging in the merchant trade, by the mid-1740s Gautier had assets valued at 85,000 livres.〔Bernard Pothier. Joseph-Nicolas Gautier. Canadian Dictionary of Biography.〕
Gautier and his two eldest sons, Joseph and Pierre, actively supported the four assaults the French launched to win back Acadia by conquering the capital Annapolis Royal. He supplied intelligence on British defences and troop movements; transported foodstuffs, materials, munitions, and troops; and piloted French vessels along the coastal waters of the province.〔
