Marty, I find your arguments about the birth year and possible parents of Claude GUEDRY very persuasive, and have a few details to add to your synopsis. The birth dates and baptisms of the three youngest boys of Claude Guedry & Anne Lejeune (dit Briard) are in the Acadian records published in: Hebert, Tim, trans. & ed., Acadian Church Records, Port LaJoye, Ile St. Jean, 1749-1758 (Houma, LA: Acadian-Cajun Genealogy & History, 2000). p. 38: Pierre Janvier GUIDRY, born 18 Jul 1752, baptized 20 Aug 1752. Sponsors: Joseph LUCOS & Josephe BOUDROT. p. 56: Charles Olivier GUEDRY, born 29 Oct 1754, baptized 12 Feb 1755. Sponsors: Pierre HENRY & Margeritte BENOIST. p. 85: Claude Augustin GUEDRY, son of Claude GUEDRY & Anne LEJEUNE, born 13 May 1758, baptized 13 May 1758. Sponsors: Jean Baptiste BENOIST & Anne BOURG. Also, another child is listed for the family of Augustin GUEDRY & Jeanne HEBERT, in an article by Ronnie-Gilles LeBlanc, "Pigiguit: l'impact du Grand Dérangement sur une communauté de l'ancienne Acadie," in Du Grand Dérangement à la Déportation: Nouvelles perspectives historiques (Moncton, NB: Chaire d'études acadiennes, 2005), p. 244. He lists Jean Baptiste GUEDRY (born about 1728) who married Anne DUPUIS as their son. I think this additional child makes it even more likely that Claude was the son of Paul GUEDRY & Anne-Marie MIUS d'AZY. By the way, in his draft version of the new DGFA-2, Stephen White has another child in Paul's family--Marie Josephe (born about 1724) who married Charles BOUTIN. And finally, there is a GUIDRY DNA project at Family Tree DNA which has only one member at the moment. Perhaps with many submitters of male Y-DNA with this surname, there will be a slight mutation in some lines which will distinguish them. Since these are carried forward into each subsequent generation, DNA testing can differentiate various descendancies. Hope this helps. Karen Theriot Reader
