PERRIN, Eloi Philibert, French colonist, born in Pont-a-Mousson in 1674; died at sea in 1713. He made several voyages as supercargo to Acadia and Nova Scotia, and during his visits to these countries made a valuable collection of plants, which were utilized by Joseph Pitton de Tournefort in his classification of the American flora. He also naturalized in Europe several new specimens of shrubs. Having obtained a land grant in Acadia, he began in 1710 a settlement forty-two miles north of Port Royal, which he named Perrinet, but it had only a short existence, as its founder was lost at sea during a voyage to Dieppe for the purpose of forming a company to develop his estate.
