(Arsenault, Vol 2, page 648 and Vol 3, page 1216). But the 1678 census
shows his parents with three sons, born in, respectively, 1658, 1661,
and 1663. His death date comes from DRBR.
Arsenault gives her birthyear as 1665, but the 1678 Port Royal census
shows her as a 12 year old daughter of Abraham Dugast (sic) and
Marguerite Doucet, born in 1666. Her death comes from DRBR, SGA-2,
132A, which gives her as the wife (not widow) of Andre LeBlanc, age 70
years. The last probably reflects rounding.
Birth and death dates and places come from Arsenault, Vol 4, page 1442.
Massignot (FC&A Rev, Vol 2, pp 19-31) says he and his wife, Marie
Pellerin, were listed in the 1693 census living at Les Mines with Jean
and Estiene, twins, 3 years; in 1700 at Les Mines with six sons and a
daughter; in 1703 at Les Mines with one (sic) son and two daughters; in
1707 at Les Mines with two sons over 14, four sons under 14, and three
daughters under 12; and in 1714 at Riviere Pigiguit with eight sons and
five daughters.
2029. Marie Marguerite Pellerin
On April 27, 1682, she was godmother to her mother's child, Magdaleine
Michelle Mercier, born and baptized the same day to Andree Martin and
Pierre Mercier dit Caudebec. Michel l'Archer dit Galand was the baby's
godfather (deVille, Winston; Acadian Church Records, Vol 1 (1964): page
4).Her lineage comes from Arsenault, Vol 3, p 1442. However, Massignot
(FC&A Rev, Vol 2, pp 19-31) says (in fn 24) that she was the daughter of
Jacques Pellerin and Marie Codbec who came from Quebec and married at
Beaubassin. Her source is Genealogie des Acadiens refugies a Belle-Isle
en Mer, France, manuscript preserved at the Archives Departmentales du
Morbihan, Serie A, Vol 49.
His birth and death dates come from Arsenault, Vol 2, p 815, who notes
that he arrived in Acadia about 1704 and abjured protestantism at Port
Royal 15 April 1723. This is somewhat unusual inasmuch as he married a
woman who appears to have been Catholic about 1704.
Her birthdate and place come from Arsenault, Vol II, p 738.
