Paul, Marriage record for Claude GUEDRY & 2nd wife. Parents were often not listed for widowers and widows, just the name of the deceased spouse. From: Albert J. Robichaux, Acadian Exiles in Saint-Malo, The, pt. II (Eunice, LA, Hebert Publications, 1981), p. 1113. Claude GUEDRI, widower of Anne LE JEUNE, resident of Chateauneuf, married 3 Feb 1762 to Anne MOYSE, widow of Joseph LE BLANC, resident of St. Suliac. Dispensation was obtained dated 6 Jun 1761 for an impediment of consanguinity [sic] of 3rd to 4th degree. Three banns were made on 10, 17 and 24 Jan 1762 in both parish churches. Witnesses: Antoine BRAU (signed BRAUX); Pierre HENRI (signed HENRY); Jean GOELLOT (signed Jan GOUELLO); Guillaume GRAFFARD. Married in the Chapel of the Ville-aux-Nonains by J. AUBRE, priest. [The two of Claude's wives were 2nd cousins one time removed, making for affinity 3rd to 4th degree.] Marie GUEDRY (who married as 2nd wife of Germain LEJEUNE), daughter of Jean Baptiste GUEDRY, & this Claude GUEDRY were 1st cousins, no matter who the parents of Claude were (unless they were siblings, of course). They shared grandparents Claude GUEDRY dit Grivois & Marguerite PETITPAS. I guess I favor the Paul GUEDRY & Anne Marie MIUS couple as parents of Claude (born about 1726) because: 1) The 1752 census record cannot be trusted--not only the name of the wife is incorrect, but the ages do not tally with any later census reports for this couple Claude & Anne. I question the string of (sic)s that Stephen White had to insert for his ages as given. I think the informant at this household on Isle St. Jean was guessing, rather than the usually careful La Roque was at fault. 2) If you accept the "around 1726" birth date for Claude (and Marty's evidence seems to be convincing to me), then there is a gap in the known births of children of Paul GUEDRY & Anne Marie MIUS, between Marie Josephe (age 28 in 1752) and Jean (dit Grivois) (22 in 1752). Claude would fit in nicely, at age 24 to 26. 3) I think it possible that Madeleine MIUS, wife of Jean Baptiste GUEDRY (who was hanged), died young, after the birth of three children, the last in 1716. I think Jean Baptiste would more likely have attempted his "piracy" with no wife to deter him. You will notice in the account published by Father d'Entremont (#5)(_http://www.museeacadien.ca/english/archives/articles/index.htm_ (http://www.museeacadien.ca/english/archives/articles/index.htm) ) that they brought Jean Baptiste's mother (Marguerite PETITPAS) aboard to talk him into relinquishing the captured ship, not a wife. 4) The list of children of Augustin GUEDRY & Jeanne HEBERT does not seem to leave room for a birth around 1726, given the usual distances between the children. Only the twins born in 1723 in Boston have birth records, but the estimates seem accurate for the rest: Jeanne, about 1725; Jean Baptiste, about 1728; Ursule, about 1731; Joseph, about 1735, etc. 5) Pierre GUEDRY & Maguerite BRASSAUD married around 1721, and had children born even more closely together, with a son Charles documented on 10 Feb 1726. There is probably no space for a baby Claude. I think as a mother and grandmother I give more weight than most to the reproductive details of child bearing--the spaces between children, the fertility of a couple, the mother's age at first and last birth. This has some bearing on my feelings here. Karen Theriot Reader
