Nicolas Aubry was a French priest who accompanied Pierre Dugua, Sieur de Monts to Acadia in 1604.
This expedition had as its cartographer Samuel de Champlain.
Champlain, in his writings, reported a violent quarrel over religion between the Protestant minister and a curé which ended in blows.
He also was recorded in writings from that time because of a mis-adventure which happened to him during his short visit to the New World.
He became lost in the woods around Baie Sainte-Marie, Nova Scotia and survived for sixteen days on his own before being rescued from the shores of the Bay of Fundy by a fisherman.
