-----Original Message----- From: R. Martin Guidry Hi, Thanks for your response to my query. I, also, cannot say with certainty who the parents of Claude Guédry, husband of Anne LeJeune and Anne Moise, were.  I am hoping there may be an extant record that may provide the needed clue(s) to solve this problem.  I do not believe that is was Jean-Baptiste Guédry and Madeleine Mius nor Charles Guédry; however, I cannot definitely rule them out.  I do believe the evidence points away from them; however, your arguments certainly are correct as to the possibility.   The marriage of Claude Guédry and Anne Moise occurred at the Catholic Church in St. Suliac, France on 3 February 1762.  A translated copy of this marriage document can be found on page 128 of "Acadian Marriages in France - Department of Ille-et-Vilaine, 1759-1776" by Albert J. Robichaux, Jr. published by Mr. Robichaud in 1976.  In this marriage document it mentions that the couple received a dispensation of impediment of consanguinity of third to fourth degree.  I have looked at the genealogies of Anne Moise and Claude Guédry and could not find any third to fourth degree impediment of consanguinity.  However, Anne LeJeune and Anne Moise were related in the third to fourth degree through their Brun lines as noted by Stephen White in his "Dictionnaire Généalogique des Families Acadiennes" on page 774 and on page 158 of the English Supplement.  The marriage document apparently was in error and should have said impediment of affinity rather than consanguinity.  The marriage document does not mention the parents of either Claude Guédry nor Anne Moise.  Furthermore, no relationships could be diciphered from the witnesses to the marriage. I really appreciate your comments.  As I stated, I can find no evidence anywhere as to who the parents of this Claude Guédry were although several folks have assigned him to either Jean-Baptiste Guédry and Madeleine Mius or to Charles Guidry and "Morningstar".  I believe the evidence points elsewhere, but at this time cannot prove it.

The age found in the Laroque census could very well be correct. We notice that Anne is reported to be a Theriot (an obvious copy of the wife in the previous entry). She is also shown as being 38a which could be a copy of Claude's age. But we know that Anne Lejeune was probably 10 yrs. younger. Many census takers over time try to make couples nearly the same age which would explain the ages reported in France.   Who has a register copy for Claude's second marriage? Mr. White refers to a dispensation for affinity for this marriage. Were the parents of Claude not listed?   Another line of thought begins with the fact that Anne Lejeune's father Germaine took as his second wife Marie Guédry (a daughter of Jean Baptiste hung in Boston and Madeline Mius). This shows a very familial association. I honestly cannot make a conclusion as to who the parents of Claude were. But there is absolutely nothing to show he was from a different brother.   .....and his age reported in France could also be correct and he be the son of JB-Madeleine Mius!!! JB was hung in 1726 and Madeleine was barely into her 30's. Many families have a child 10 yrs. after the previous child --- also there could have been many more children in the middle --- they were lost in history or died at a very young age!!!         C
