The following information was provided by M. Michel Couture and supported my research. Furthermore, the Centre de généalogie francophone d'Amérique also supports my findings. "Voici, Étienne Ayot-Hayot dit Marticotte (Jean-François & M.-Josette Rousseau m. 17-01-1724 à L'Islet) est un descendant de l'ancêtre Thomas Ayot-Hayot dit Marticot originaire de Notre-Dame-de-Mortagne au Perche, marié en France vers 1637 à Jeanne Boucher. Anne-Françoise Renaud dit Daguet est la fille de René-Pierre Daguet, originaire de l'Acadie, m. à Marguerite Giasson (Gabriel & Marie Savoie) de Beaubassin, Acadie... leurs enfants se marient à Montmagny (source: frère Éloi-Gérard Talbot, Tanguay et Jetté).
It appears that the name Hayot-Marticot(te) becomes more prominant around 1760 when Etienne Hayot-Marticotte appears as a refugee in the area of Montmagny. Most agree that he is a son of Jean-François Hayot and Marie-Josèphe Rousseau. There is no official record in the PRDH to support this information! But in genealogy, when direct proof is not available, you accept the most reasonable and plausible explanation.
Étienne Marticot-Hayot and Françoise Daguet dit Renaud are shown as originating from France in the PDRH and he is listed as a pioneer. A 1760 Census record from the PDRH shows an Etienne Hayet, his wife and three children under 15 years of age as refugees in Montmagny.
Françoise is deemed to be from Beaubassin, Acadie. The family would therefore originate from there with their three children. Two more children would be born after their arrival and settling in Montmagny. The reasonable explanation is they are refugees from the Deportation of the Acadiens. As yet I do not have definite proof, that is proof in hand, to support this general conjecture.
Benoit Marticotte (b. 1831) fifth great-grandson of Thomas Hayot had two sons, Georges and Joseph (my great-grandfather). They changed their name from Marticotte to Massicotte c. 1889 for reasons unknown. Although my legal name is Massicotte my bloodline is Marticotte-Hayot. This is also supported by the Massicotte Organization, I am not a descendant of Jacques Massicot(te) who pioneered circa 1696 in Ste-Geneviève-de-Batiscan (Trois-Rivières), Canada.
The etymology of the name Hayot is from the French Haye meaning a closed or bordered property which they tended. Others will say Hayot were garlic sellers. Marticot(te) is a diminutive of Marte or Martin. The name Hayot and Marticot probably entered France from Belgium (which would explain why there is no record of his parents in France) and may have originally moved from the Pays Basque or Gascony in Southern France, but this still needs research. Either name's French etymology can yet be proven.
The name Pelletier (Peltier) enters my line from Thomas Hayot and Jeanne Boucher's son Jean who married Louise Pelletier. My great Grandfather Joseph married Olivine De Repentigny (widow of Siméon Peltier) and they raised four children from the late Siméon and another seven from their union in St-Joseph de Montréal, Quebec c. 1889.
