    1. [ACADIAN-CAJUN] TIME-LINE OF FIRMIN LANDRY (1728-1801)
    2. While working on my files on Firmin Landry, I put together the following: (Please feel free to comment , add, delete, etc.) TIME-LINE OF FIRMIN LANDRY (1728-1801) 1727-28 Firmin Landry is born 1750 - Firmin Landry and François Thibodeau are married 1750-51 Joseph Landry is born 1754-55 - Saturin Landry is born Like their fathers before them, Firmin worked in the fields that surrounded "Village Germain Landry". He helped maintain the levees and dikes, planted and harvested the crops and prepared for the long winter months. And in ca 1752-53, their first child Joseph Landry was born. Sometime in 1754 or early 1755, Françoise became pregnant with her second child, Saturin, who would be born sometime in 1755. Tension was building. The military presence was everywhere. Ships were anchored in the Minas Basin. And although Captain Murray had tried to ease the tension, by insisring that the military presence was there for their protection and the ships were kept ready for the troop deployment if necessary. He urged the Acadians to continue with their harvest and preparation for winter. It was late August and the wheat, barley, rye and corn had been harvested and the corn was being crushed to make cornmeal. The turnips, cabbages, onions and potatoes had been harvested and stored in the cellar. The firewood was being cut and stacked in the house as well as in piles near the house. Friday September 5, 1755 - It is hard to imagine the pain and anquish that Firmin, his family and the families of the others at Pisiquid felt when, on Friday September 5, 1755 at 3:00 p.m., Captain Alexandre Murray, commander of Fort Edward at Pisiquid read the proclamation, declaring them prisoners of the Crown. And it was this young family of four, just starting their lives as a family, that were notified in September, 1755, that after working from sun up til sun down and afterwards, harvesting and storing their crop, that all of their land, cattle, stores, and belongings were forfeited to the Crown of England, and they would be transported away from there, never to return. October 28, 1755 - after being held prisoners "under house arrest" for 5 to 6 weeks, Firmin Landry and his first wife, Françoise Thibodeau, along with their first two children Joseph Landry bn 1753 and Saturin Landry, bn 1755, were led from Fort Edward to boats at the foot of the hill, to be embarked aboard the ship anchored in the Minas Basin. Firmin and his family were placed aboard the Sloop Ranger and deported to Maryland. November 5, 1755 - Because the fierce winter storms, Ranger sailed into the Boston Harbor to seek shelter for a number of days. While in Boston, the vessels were inspected and it was reported that the passengers were "sickley, occasioned by being to much crowded, some lying on deck;" While at Boston, the numbers of exiles on board the were reduced to 2 per ton. They then completed their voyage to Maryland November 30, 1755 Firmin arrives in Maryland aboard the sloop Ranger, (90 tons burden, Francis Peirey, master) with about 323 (or 263), 83 over her compliment aboard. The Ranger was among the ships embarked from Pisiguit, under the direction of Capt. Murray on 28 October, 1755. Dec. 8, 1755 - They arrived in oxford They stayed in Oxford as exiles and were enumerated among the "French Neutrals" (Acadians) at Oxford, Maryland, on 7 July 1763 1757 Marie Magdeleine Landry is born in Oxford Maryland 1759 - Helen "Eliene Landry is born in Oxford Maryland July 7, 1763 Census of the Acadians at Oxford, Maryland, in 1763. "LANDRY Firmin, Elizabeth his wife, Joseph and Saturin Landry, Eleine and Magdne. Landry" ("THE FRENCH PRESENCE IN MARYLAND p. 193 "Acadians in the 1763 Census ? Oxford") May 1765 - group that came from Halifax in May 1765 and settled on the Mississippi River January 14, 1766 - Firmin is last recorded in Maryland when he witnessed a wedding at St. Joseph's mission at Tuckahoe (Cordova) near Easton, Maryland. This was the Catholic Parish for all of the Catholics in this part of Maryland's Eastern Shore. The parish records shows a Firmin Landry along with Simon Landry being a witness to the marriage of Armand Babin and Anastasia Landry on January 14, 1766. 1766 - Theotiste was enumerated in the 1766 census of Cabahannocee living with Jean-Baptiste Bergeron and Marguerite Bergeron. Late March, 1767 - Schooner "VIRGIN", that left Maryland with Acadians bound for Louisiana Firmin and his family are very likely aboard this vessel. 1767-68 - Firmin arrives in Louisiana 1769 - Firmin probably married Theotiste in 1769 shortly after arriving in Louisiana and immediately went to Attakapas to join the siblings of Theotiste : Anselme Thibodeau; Anne Thibodeau; Magdeleine Thibodeau; Marie-Louise Thibodeau, where Firmin is recorded in the Brand Book at St. Martinville dated 1769. Firmin and his family are enumerated in the 1769 Attakapas census (exact date unknown): Firmen Landry age 42 Wife Joseph Landry son age 17 (bn 1752) Saturnin Landry son age 15 (bn 1754) Elena Landry daughter age 19 (bn 1757) Magdeleine Landry daughter age 13 (bn 1759) Barbe daughter (sic)[Gaudin] age 8 bn(1752) 1770 - On 22 October 1770, Firmin's fifth child, a daughter Françoise Landry, was born to his second wife Théotiste Thibodeau, widow of Bonaventure Gaudin. (SM CH.: V. 1, P. 20 1774 - Attakapas census lists Firmin Landyr with his 2nd wife , 6 children 25 cattle, 7 horses, 8 mules, 8 pigs and 6 sheep. 12 June 1775 - Rene Broussard was married to Firmin Landry's daughter Magdeleine Landrry 15 July 1771 Helene or Elen Landry (Firmin Landry and Françoise Thibodau) married to Armand Broussard s/o Joseph Broussard and Anne Thibodeaux (BRDA ?

On 9 January 1779 2 February 1801 Firmin Landry dies at age 67. He is buried at St Martinville in the Cemetery of St. Martin de Tours (Church of the Attakapas) on 4 February 1801. NOTE: WOW!! What a full life. When Firmin died, he left an estate that would be quite large even in today's standards. And like him his oldest son, Joseph Landry m. Marie-Anne Melancon left a large estate as well. All this and pennyless just 33 years earlier when they arrived in Louisiana. Don Landry

    3. Hi, I wanted to let you all know that I'm in the path of Hurricane Isabel. Right now they are saying we should have 90 mph winds. 5 years ago when Floyd hit we were without power for 5 days. The winds then were about 75 mph. My husband managed to snag a generator today:-). In a couple of hours I will be offline until the storm has passed. Probably Friday am. As long as my cable internet or my phone lines stay up I can access the net. There's no way of knowing. Lucie has agreed to help as much as she can. She is going to be very busy off list this week. The list pages are staying in my name. Any bounces or subscriptions problems I'll deal with as soon as I can. If needed, check our archives to see if you are missing messages also go to password central at RootsWeb and you can check your membership there. When they send you your lists, the links tell you what mode you are subscribed in and you can use those links to unsubscribe. Anyway, I'm keeping my fingers crossed for my phone line and I'll talk to you all later. Regards, Margy Va. Beach, Va.

Marie-Anne Melançon) and Saturin Landry (no record of marriage) serving with the militia (with Galvez) during the Revolutionary War?? Does anyone have documentation of the date of Saturin Landry's death. We all assume that he never married, but is this true??? Don Landry don2717@aol.com
