Hello Alvenia, My QUEBEDEAUX lines get a bit complicated for me to explain because they don't follow the "normal" lines lol. I descend along 2 QUEBEDEAUX lines. My first QUEBEDEAUX is Marie Francoise QUEBEDEAUX m. 1745 Nicolas PREVOST dit Blondin. Marie Francoise was the daughter of Joseph QUEBEDEAUX dit L'Espagnol and Marie Antoinette BEAU. Among the children of Nicolas PREVOST and Marie Francoise QUEBEDEAUX was a daughter named Jeanne/Jeannette. Linking her to Nicolas and Marie Francoise was quite an exercise. Jeannette PREVOST gave birth to a son abt. 1783 by the name of Louis COLETTE, the "natural son" of Jeannette and Joseph COLETTE. I've since concluded that Joseph COLETTE is likely Joseph PREVOST dit Collet. Their son Louis married a descendent of my 2nd QUEBEDEAUX line. Marie Odile/Audelle/Theodille QUEBEDEAUX was the "natural daughter" of Toussaint QUEBEDEAUX and Marie Perine MOREAU. Marie married 1) Jacques George STELLY 10 April 1823. Jacques George Stelly filed a petition for divorce on 3 October 1834, naming Marie Theodille Quebedeaux and Louis Collet as co-respondents, accusing Marie of adultery. Disclaimed being father of any of her children except Don Louis. (Divorce #2109-St.Landry Parish, Opelousas, La.) I am a descendent of one of the children of Marie QUEBEDEAUX and Louis COLLET (Leufroy). It's about as clear as mud lol. take care, Neal..... --- "Alvenia (Peewee/Sis)" <queenbee@communicomm.com> wrote: > Which Quebodeaux family do u belong to?

Sauluise, Fredric Tenholt. Fr, Michel Bernard Barriere. Agricole established a farm at Bayou Vermilion (Bona Arcenault ‑ vol. 6, p. 2532) - NOTE: It is interesting to note that Agricole Landry was married on the same day that his grandfather Firmin Landry died. NOTE ** Agricole is listed in the census of 1810 as living in the Attakapas. In the "RECORDS OF THE ATTAKAPAS DISTRICT" by Sanders, Agricole Landry has 10 arpents of land (also 15 acres on West Vermilion) and 3 negros ‑ Franτ ois LaBauve is listed as having 13 arpents and 4 negros. - Agricole Landry was listed as having a flock (troupeaux) in the Attakapas and Opelousas ‑ on page 1063 of Bona Arcenault's Tome 2 ‑ Attakapas and Opelousas) According to James A. Landry of Belle Chasse, Agricole Landry (from the Attakapas), b. 1781 served in the war of 1812 as a pvt. in DeClouet's Regiment of the Louisiana Militia (Louisiana Genealogical and Historical Society) In the publication "Letter Books of W.C.C. Claiborne" on page 307 the following is listed: "Pardon of Agricole Landry" "William C.C. Claiborne, Governor of the Territory of Orleans: To the Sheriff of the County of Attackapas, and all others concerned, Greeting:" "Whereas Agricole Landry of the County of Attackapas, hath lately been convicted before the honorable the County Court of said County, of the crime of Assault and Battery; and was thereupon sentenced to a fine of fifty dollars:" "And Whereas the said Agricole Landry is represented to me to be a poor distressed man, and deserving of mercy: I have thought proper to grant him a free pardon of the Assault and Battery of which he stands convicted, and wholly to remit the fine of Fifty dollars to which he was sentenced." "Given under my hand and the seal of the Territory, at New Orleans, this 24. day of May 1806, and in the 30. year of the Independence of the United States." Signed W.C.C. Claiborne" ****************************************************************************** Agricole Landry died 24 November, 1819 at age 39 years old on the day his son Emile was born ‑ He died suddenly and by accident at the home of Eloy Dugas at La Fausse Pointe.

CHILDREN OF FIRMIN LANDRY AND FRANCOISE (dit) EIZABETH THIBODEAU : HELENE (ELEINE) LANDRY, 1751 M. ARMAND BROUSSARD ELEN, ELEINE or HELEN LANDRY, b. 1757, married 15 July 1771 (BRDA ‑ PC) to Armand Broussard s/o Joseph Broussard and Anne Thibodeaux (see # 169) Winston Deville's "Colonial Louisiana Marriage Contracts Vol 5 p. 66: ‑‑ Helene ‑ married Armand Broussard 15 July, 1771 in Pointe Coupée. Elen, Eleine or Helen LANDRY (Firmin Landry to Françoise (dit Elizabeth) Thibodeaux), b. 1757, married 15 July 1771 (BRDA ‑ PC) to Armand Broussard s/o Joseph Broussard and Anne Thibodeaux (see # 169) Winston Deville's "Colonial Louisiana Marriage Contracts Vol 5 p. 66: ‑‑ Helene ‑ married Armand Broussard 15 July, 1771 in Pointe Coupée. ELEINE or HELEN LANDRY, (Firmin Landry & Françoise dit Elizabeth Thibodeau) b. at Oxford Maryland ca 1757, married 15 July 1771 to Armand Broussard s/o Joseph Broussard and Anne Thibodeaux (see # 169) Winston Deville's "Colonial Louisiana Marriage Contracts Vol 5 p. 66: ‑‑ Helene ‑ married Armand Broussard 15 July, 1771 in Pointe Coupée. (BRDA ‑ PC) JOSEPH LANDRY, 1753 MARIE-ANNE MELANCON JOSEPH LANDRY, was born in Pisiquid, Acadia sometime around 1753, he was the son of Firmin LANDRY and his first wife, Françoise (dit Elizabeth) THIBODEAU. Joseph LANDRY was just 2 years of age in October, 1755 when he was deported to Maryland with his parents and his infant brother Saturin LANDRY. Seven and a half years later, Joseph, along with his parents, Firmin LANDRY and his mother, Elizabeth (Françoise) THIBODEAU and his younger brother Saturin and sisters Eleine and (Mary)‑Magdeleine appear in the 1763 census of French Neutrals in Oxford (Talbot County), Maryland. ["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"]. Further confirmation of Joseph having been born in Acadia is found in the Attakapas Militia lists of Louisiana where he is referred to as Joseph LANDRY, Acadian. In 1755 the family was deported by the British to Oxford, Maryland, in the New England colony. And, according to Dickson J. Preston, a journalist in Talbot county Maryland, the Fermee LANDRY that was referred to as being in Maryland "was obviously Firmin LANDRY, since there was no other person in Maryland at the time with a similar name. Mr. Preston also refers to Firmin LANDRY as a nephew to Abraham LANDRY, II, but does not recall where he came to that conclusion and a Joseph LANDRY acting as spokesmen for the French neutrals (Acadians) at Oxford, that had landed in Maryland in December, 1755.

(Robert C. West in "An Atlas of Louisiana Surnames of French and Spanish Origin" (Selected Acadian and Louisiana Church Records - Bodin vol. 1 ?? p. 298 Further confirmation of Joseph having been born in Acadia is found in the Attakapas Militia lists of Louisiana where he is referred to as Joseph LANDRY, Acadian. SATURIN LANDRY, 1755 SATURIN LANDRY ‑ was born in Pisiquid, Acadia ca 1755. He was the son of Firmin LANDRY and his first wife, Françoise (dit Elizabeth) THIBODEAU. Saturin LANDRY was not quite 1 year old in October, 1755 when he was deported to Maryland with his parents and his older brother Joseph LANDRY. . Seven and a half years later, Saturin, along with his parents, Firmin LANDRY and his mother, Elizabeth (Françoise) THIBODEAU and his older brother Joseph and sisters Eleine and (Mary)‑Magdeleine appear in the 1763 census of French Neutrals in Oxford (Talbot County), Maryland. ["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"]. Saturin Landry is sometimes listed as Maturin Landry ne 1755 ‑ Janet Jehn writes the following interpretation of the Census of Neutral Inhabitants detained at Oxford and lists the following: "Firmin LANDRY, Elizabeth his wife, Joseph (b. 1752) and Maturin LANDRY Eleine and Madeleine LANDRY" (Janet Jehn "Acadian Exiles in the Colonies" page 126) "Saturin Landry apparently remained single" ‑ (Robert C. West using Hebert 1974 vols 1‑ 4 in "An Atlas of Louisiana Surnames of French and Spanish Origin" ‑ page 92) This is probably true since I cannot find any record of his marriage. Winston Deville's "Colonial Louisiana Marriage Contracts Vol 5 p. 66 ("Attakapas Post: The Census of 1771 " - Deville) - On page 12 the census lists: Firmin Landry, 43; wife ; Joseph Landry ; Madeleine Landry 15 ; Saturin Landry 16; Girls 10, 8,. 28; Cattle, 7 horses; 12 Arpents without title. For further information see: (The First Acadian Settlement, "Louisiana History vol XVII, no.1 [Winter 1976 pages 91-96]) Firmin Landry is listed, along with his son Joseph Landry in the Acadian members of the militia at the Attakapas in 1774 and 1777. (Bona Arcenault - Tome 2 - Attakapas et Opelousas) Note: Saturin is listed as “Sinturnin Landry” in the 1777 Militia Role. Louisiana: Identified in the 1771 census of the Attakapas District as a sixteen-year-old member of his father's household. The June 20, 1774, muster roll indicates that he was a fusilier in the Attakapas District militia. His name is rendered as Saturnine Landry in the June 20, 1774, list. The May 10, 1777, muster roll indicates that he was a fusilier in the Attakapas District militia. His name is rendered as Sinturnin Landry in the May 10, 1777 list. Sources: Census of the Attakapas District, 1771, AGI, PPC, 188C:43vo; Hébert, Southwest Louisiana Records, 1:344; Arsenault, Histoire et généalogie, 6:2522; Muster Roll for the Attakapas District Militia Unit, June 20, 1774, AGI, PPC, legajo 161; Muster Roll for the Attakapas District Militia Unit, May 10, 1777, AGI, PPC, legajo 161. Again relying on Gregory A. Wood, “A GUIDE TO THE ACADIANS IN MARYLAND IN > THE EIGHTEENTH AND NINETEENTH CENTURIES; 1755-1899” ; Baltimore, Gateway Press, > 1995; p. 140: Saturin LANDRY, on 14 Jan 1766, was with Firmin LANDRY as witness to the Maryland marriage of Amant BABIN & Anastasie LANDRY (Reference: Mosley). On 29 Apr 1773 at Pointe Coupee, LA he was most probably the Saturin who was witness to the baptism of Hubert LANDRY, son of Firmin [his father] & [2nd wife] Theotiste TIBAUDOT (PCP-2, part 2, 150). So Saturnin? probably died after Apr 1773, but possibly before the militia lists were made in 1774 and 1777. I find no record of a marriage or children for him. In "General Census of the Posts of Attakapas and Opelousas of 4 May 1777" by Winston de Ville is found under Family 57 the following: Firmin Landry, 50. Theotette Thibodaut, wife, 33. Garcons: Joseph, 25; Scaturnin, 22; Hubert, 5. Filles: Barbe Gaudin, 18; Francoise, 7; Helene, 3; Rosalie, 1; Marie-Louise Thibodaut, orphan, 14. This indicates Saturnin was alive on 4 May 1777. He is listed on the 10 May 1777 Militia Role as "Sinturnin Landry". However, he does not appear on the 1780 Militia Roster or in the April 1781 census. Firmin is listed in the 1781 census of Attakapas with 8 individuals in his family. Possibly Saturnin could be one of these if he was still single? Barbe Gaudin, 18, was the daughter of Theotiste Thibodeau and her first husband, Bonaventure Gaudin. Marie-Louise Thibodeau, orphan, 14, was the daughter of the deceased Charles Thibodeau and the deceased Brigitte Breau, and the sister of Theotiste Thibodeau. Below are excerpts from the Acadian Memorial Database. The last info is the 1777 muster roll. Roger Rozendal and I had checked a while back and couldn't find any other information re marriages or death in the SWLR or the DOBR records. He wasn't shown in the 1801 probate of Firmin Landry's estate. I suspect that he was one of the soldiers who went with Declouet in Feb. 1779 to Pointe Coupee to fight under Galvez and was killed.

Bn 1690? 4th GENERATION In the burial record of Firmin Landry, dated 4 February1801 Firmin Landry is listed as the son pf Alexandre Landry, but the name of his mother was omitted. This led to a lot of speculation as to the parents of Firmin Landry. In a letter written to me in response to questions concerning Firmin Landry, Stephen A. White, Genealogist , University of Montcon in New Brunswick states: "Regarding Firmin Landry, I am aware of the hypothesis that has recently been advanced to the effect that Firmin Landry who married Françoise Thibodeau and Théotiste Thibodeau was a son of Charles Landry and Marie LeBlanc. The researchers who have reached this conclusion seem to have some reason for rejecting what appears to be recorded in Firmin's burial record at St‑Martinville,[ (4 Feb. 1801 at age 67 yrs) (SM Ch.: V. 4, #231)] which according to Father Donald Hébert (Southwest Louisiana Records, vol 1, p. 344) shows that Théotiste Thibodeau's husband was a son of Alexandre Landry. I do not know what their reason might be for this, and consequently I am not changed in my belief that Firmin Landry was a son of Alexandre Landry and Marguerite Blanchard. Insofar as I know, Marguerite Blanchard's husband was the only Alexandre Landry who was fathering children in Acadia around the time of Firmin Landry's birth (about 1726, or perhaps about 1728 as you suggest, although the burial record would make him much younger, born about 1734). Please note that Alexandre Landry who married Anne Flan could not have been Firmin's father, because he and Anne were only married in 1732." "Alexandre Landry is identified as a son of Germain Landry and Marie Melanson in the petition of his grandson Edourd Godin for a dispensation to marry his second cousin Madeleine Landry, Feb. 16, 1796 (Shirley Chaisson Bourquard, Marriage Dispensations in the diocese of Louisiana and the Floridas: 1786‑ 1803 (New Orleans: Polyanthos, 1980), pp. 10‑11)." ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.

LANDRYS OF ACADIA LIFE AT PORT ROYAL Unlike the rocky Atlantic coast of Acadia, the shoreline of the Annapolis Basin and the area along the Annapolis River had many tidal marshes. These marshes were large treeless stone‑free plains, that would be well suited for farming, if it were not for the tides that flooded the marshes twice daily. Fortunately, among the people that settled in the Annapolis Basin area, there were some Acadians from the Poitou and Vendee areas of France who were quick to recognize the potential of the tidal salt marshes. These early settlers or pioneers were familiar with a technique that consisted of running dikes or levees made from stabalized earthen mounds, equiped with "aboiteauxs". An "aboiteaux" is an ingenious one‑way wooden clapper valves, or sluice (water gate on horizontal hinges), used to control the flow of the tidal waters and creating vast meadows and fields for agriculture. So the Acadians cleared land for farms and they built these running dikes along the banks and across the mouths of the tidal rivers of the Minas Basin. The "running dikes" were built by driving five or six rows of logs into the ground and laying logs on top of one another between the rows. The spaces between the logs were packed with clay and mud. The "running dike" was then covered with layers of sod cut from the marsh itself. In some cases, the dikes were built by simply laying marsh sod over mounds or levees of soil that had been stabilized with spruce or fir boughs tied down with pegs. To drain the area, a system of drainage ditches combined with "aboiteaus" (or hinged one way clapper valves), that were buried in the running dikes and located at the mouths of the streams and creeks that lead off from these tidal rivers. The "aboiteaus" prevented the flow of salt water into the dike‑land when the tide was in, but allowed the fresh water from rain and snow to run off the dike‑land at low tide, and drain out into the sea. After allowing the snow and rain to wash away the salt from the dike‑land, the Acadians were left with fertile soil in about 2 to 3 years, which yielded abundant crops of wheat, oats, barley, rye, peas, corn, flax and hemp. They also kept a garden in which they grew beets, carrots, parsnips, onions, chives, shallots, herbs, salad greens, cabbages and turnips. Cabbages and turnips seemed to be an important part of their diet. The land that has been drained and lies behind the dikes are referred to as dike‑land, and the land that lies outside the earthen mounds is called marshland. The dike‑land is used for agricultural purposes and the marshland is where the salt grasses grow that are harvested as salt hay and used as fodder for the animals. The first attempts at dike building was commensurate with their small holdings. The size of the project increased as the population increased to running a dike across the river from shore to shore. The Acadians toiled in these dike ‑lands from early morning until the “Angelus” signaled the end of the day. They called this land Acadia. Because of the shortage of hay or fodder for the livestock during the long winter months, it was a common practice to slaughter most of the animals in the fall and buy a new supply of animals in the spring. The Acadians began using the coarse salt‑marsh hay (spartina) that grew naturally, even when the marshes were flooded twice a day by the tides. The use of this natural hay allowed the Acadians to have enough fodder to keep the livestock fed over the winter. As the drained dike‑land began to rid themselves of the salt, finer grasses gradually replaced the coarser spartina, but the Acadians continued to cut their salt‑marsh hay on the seaward side of the dykes. They stacked this coarse hay on wooden platforms, called "staddles", which were high enough to be above the highest seasonal tides. This abundant supply of hay was a tremendous help in developing and maintaining large herds of cattle throughout the winter months, a feat which would have been impossible without the constant supply of this salt‑marsh hay. Because they rarely cleared the upland forests for agricultural purposes, like the other settlers, instead they built dikes and cultivated the natural meadows and marshes. Because of this, the Acadians were criticized and considered lazy by other settlers and were called "defricheurs d'eau" (clearers of water). But today, we now know that the Acadian settlers understood the landscape and made it work for them. Now we can appreciate the wisdom of their approach, for the marshlands were more productive than the uplands would have been. As a matter of fact, on a number of occasions, the more than 14,000 acres of diked land were referred to as the most fertile land in the colony. In contrast, the few New England settlers in the area had made poor progress. The success of the Acadians soon became the envy of the New England settlers, who were jealous of the success of the Acadians with their system of agriculture. This led to speculation that among the many reasons that the British decided to deport the Acadians and seize their land, was a desire to take over the rich agricultural industry that was developed by the Acadians. Taking advantage the force of the tides in the Bay of Fundy, the Minas Basin and the tidal rivers the Indians were able to move with little effort on the tidal currents. So by using this system of tidal and lake waterways, the Acadians were able to travel the 86 kilometer distance between the Bay of Fundy and the Halifax harbour. (John V. Duncanson, Rawdon/Douglas: Two Loyalist Townships in Nova Scotia ‑ page 1 chapter 1) The Acadians also took advantage of the high tides by using a fishing method, taught to them by the Indians, of using fish traps or weirs to trap the fish that were carried with the tides. The phenomenon of the tides of the Bay of Fundy significantly affected the daily lives of the early Acadians as well as the others who followed them well into this century. The Acadians built few roads and utilized the tides like the Mi'kmaq (Mic Mac) before them to travel great distances with little effort. However, the cycle of about every 13 hours was an inconvenience, and the daily lives of the residents were largely determined by the tides. Small streams that could be easily forged at low tide, became a raging river twice during each of the 13 hour cycles. It is believed that the Acadians enjoyed the most prosperous era between 1671 and 1710. However, during British rule, the Acadians traded with New England legally and continued an active and profitable trade with the French at Louisbourg. Some Landrys leave Port Royal and establish at Grand Pre and Pigiguit. René Landry, le Jeune (René the younger and Marie Bernard had 15 children, 8 sons and 7 girls who were born between 1660 has 1693, and their children marry into the following families of Acadie, and count among their sons-in-law and daughters-in-law the Babins, Bellemeres, Blanchards, Brossards (2), Dupuis, Guilbauts, LeBalncs (2), Melansons (2), Prejeans, Racois, Richards, Theriaults (3), Thibodeaus (2). After René Landry, le Jeune (René the younger and Marie Bernard’s sons marry and start their own families, seven of their eight sons leave Port Royal and establish their families in the Minas Basin at Grand Pre and Pigiguit. The youngest son, Charles, stayed in Port Royal and it is possible that he inherited his father’s original Landry family site at Port Royal. René Landry, le Jeune (René the younger) and Marie Bernard’s son Antoine Landry established at Riviere-des -Habitants in the Minas Basin in 1687, and 1752. On maps of the area surrounding Grand Pre., we find Village - Landry, Village - Antoine Landry, and Village - Claude Landry. Rene and Marie’s sons Germain, Abraham and Pierre established their families at Pisiquid and on maps of Pisiquid ca 1755, we find Village Pierre-Germain, Village Pierre Landry and Village Abraham Landry located on the east side of the Pisiquid river in the parish of Sainte-Famille. René Landry, le Jeune (René the younger) died at Port Royal between 1690 and 1693, while Marie Bernard was buried in Port Royal on 11 January 1719. Before the Great Derangement, the Landry family was established throughout Acadia at: Port Royal, Grand Pre, Beaubassin, Chipoudie, Petcoudiac, Port - Toulouse, Royal Island, Port - Lajoye, and Isle St. - John.

Mr. Landry, Perhaps you missed my last email, so here it is again. I wanted to discuss what I believe are errors in the widely propogated online conclusions about the Quebedeaux lineage, particularly those posted in the Rootsweb Quebedeaux archives. A Joseph Quebedeaux is mentioned in March 1738, specifically in a contract to hire Joseph Quebedeaux by Peltier "with the permission of Quebedeaux's parents". It's been concluded that this is Joseph dit L'Espagnol, the husband of Marie Antoinette Beau. I propose it is unlikely a man documented with 5 children in a 1732 census would need his parent's permission to get a job 6 years later. Joseph dit L'Espagnol's son Mathurin was baptized in February 1724, from which you can conclude that Joseph dit L'Espagnol was born in the early 1700's, probably no later than 1700-1705. The Joseph mentioned in 1738 would more likely be the son of Joseph dit L'Espagnol and Marie Antoinette Beau, but is certainly not Joseph dit L'Espagnol. Joseph dit L'Espagnol was deceased by February 1745, as annotated in the marriage contract between his daughter Marie Josephe and Mathurin Pinau. He is also listed as deceased in the marriage contract between his daughter Marie Francoise and Nicholas Prevost dit Blondin in July 1745. This makes it unlikely (impossible) that he fathered Charles Quebedeaux with a birth date of 3 February 1751, yet that is the conclusion reached. At the marriage of Charles Quebedeaux to Marie Recuron his parents are listed as Joseph Quebedeaux and Marie L'est. The "L'est" surname has being explained as being because Marie Antoinette Beau was from Paris, therefore from the "east". I believe this is a stretch. As the Joseph Quebedeaux mentioned in 1738 is almost certainly not dit L'Espagnol, isn't it possible this is the father of Charles?

Firmin and his family were placed aboard the Sloop Ranger and deported to Maryland.     Following are two newspaper articles written by Dickson Preston and published in the Star Democrat Weekend Magazine on February 15, 1980 and February 22, 1980, that give an account of the Acadians (including the Landrys) who were deported to Maryland in 1755. These were furnished to Norma Pontiff Evans in Beaumont Texas who was the author of a book “Grand Pa with a stick”, and were accompanied with the following statements:   “Your Firmin Landry and his family were beyond a doubt among thise who landed at Oxford, and who underwent the suffering described in my articles. They are listed among the Oxford census of 1763 as “Firmin Landry, Elizabeth his wife, Joseph and Maturin Landry, Eleine and Madeleine Landry”.                   “The Maryland legislature refused to provide any relief, but empowered local county justices to levy taxes for that purpose if they saw fit. Oxford is in Talbot County, and at the August 1756 term of the talbot County Court, a petition was presented setting forth that Joseph Bujiale,Fermee and Charles Landree, French neutrals, “have each three small children, the oldest of which is not over five years of age. . . that they canmnot support their families, and can hardly get bread for themselves.” The justices of the court allowed each 500 pounds of tobacco, then used as money in Maryland, in modern terms about $20. Later they allowed 750 pounds of tobacco to Abraham Landry, II, as my article indicates. (See Oswald Tilghman, comp., History of Talbot County Maryland, 2 vol., Baltimore, 1915 v. II, p. 500)”                 “Allowing for local spelling, I take Fermee Landree to have been Firmin Landry. No other family head on the Oxford list had a similar name.”   Refugees, Especially French Catholics Without Funds, Found Chilly Reception Here   (First of two Articles) By Dickson J. Preston   This is the forest primeval, The murmuring pines and the hemlocks... Longfellow made the Acadians immortal with his tragic poem about Evangeline and her lost love. But to Talbot Countians in 1755 they were just a bunch of ragtag, unwanted enemy refugees, to be gotten rid of as quickly as possible A sloop carrying 181 of them anchored in Oxford harbor December 8, 1755, and the captain unceremoniously dumped them on the wharf, gruffly telling them he had no more provisions to give them. As far as he was concerned, they could starve. Then he sailed away, leaving them to the tender mercies of a group of people who hated everything they stood for. In an English colony which was overwhelmingly Protestant in religion, they were French and Catholic. What was even worse, they were penniless, and the provincial government at Annapolis had made no financial arrangement for then. So hard cash was going to have to be laid out to keep them from starving, if anybody could be found who cared. The refugees from French Canada could not have arrived in Maryland at a worse time. England and France were in a state of undeclared war, and things were going badly for the English colonists in America. In July 1755 had come word of General Braddock's terrible defeat at Fort Duquesne, during which only young Col. George Washington of Virginia had shown military skill. All along the frontiers, the French and Indians were on the attack, murdering settlers, burning forts and houses, capturing livestock and carrying off scalps as trophies of war. In the wake of this disastrous news a wave of rumors had swept through Maryland that Roman Catholics were plotting to stir up an insurrection among Negro slaves, capture the colony, and turn it over to Catholic France. The Governor's Council was told in July that there had been "tumultuous Meetings and Caballings among the Negroes" and that some Roman Catholics had "misbehaved in such a manner in some counties as to give his Majesty's Loyal Subjects just Cause to fear an Insurrection." It asked justices in each county to report whether any such goings-on had occurred in their area. If the rumors were true, they were to arrest the plotters; if false they were to arrest whoever was spreading them. Such tales were "old hat" in Talbot County, where "plot" charges against Catholics had been spread ever since 1689. The Talbot County Board of Justices replied that there was no evidence of Negro "Caballings" nor Catholic misbehavior. As for Catholic priests, the justices pointed out that there were none in the county and hadn't been for many years. However, at least one influential Talbot Countian disagreed. Edward Lloyd III, a member of the Governor's Council and the wealthiest landowner on the Eastern Shore, wrote to his half brother, James Hollyday, who was studying law in London, that the situation was "dangerous." According to Lloyd, there were at least 300 slaves along the Wye River "that may be called Roman Catholics...I say dangerous because some of my slaves have lately said they expected that the French would soon set them free." Lloyd wanted Hollyday to report the situation to Lord Baltimore when he next dined with him. In the midst of this hysteria, the Acadians arrived--French, Catholic, stubborn about it and without funds. They were there through no fault of their own. Their only "crime" had been that they refused to give up their loyalty to France and swear allegiance to the English king. Ever since the treaty of Utrecht in 1713, which awarded Acadia to Great Britain, the English had been trying without success to get the French settlers there to become British subjects. The name had even been changed to Nova Scotia (New Scotland) to give the region a British flavor. But nothing worked, and in the summer of 1755 English Governor Charles Lawrence resolved to solve the "Acadian problem" once and for all. With London's approval, he rounded up more than 6,000 of them, put them aboard vessels, and shipped them off to the English colonies along the Atlantic seaboard. About 900 arrived at Annapolis aboard five ships December 1, 1755. Nobody knew what to do with them. Governor Horatio Sharpe, who had agreed to let them come in, was off in New York attending an intercolonial council of war. The Acadians themselves asked to be treated as prisoners of war, but this was refused because England and France were not yet legally at war, which was declared the next year. Against the advice of Colonel Lloyd, who wanted them kept under restraint, the Council majority voted to let them go "at large and to their own liberty." Council President Benjamin Tasker decided to scatter them around the colony; he sent one shipload to the Patuxent River, one to the Wicomico, one to Baltimore, one to Oxford, and kept one in Annapolis. So the 181 men, women and children were dumped down at Oxford on December 8, their legal states uncertain, their attitude unrelentingly hostile, their homes destroyed, their possessions gone, their language and religion foreign, and with no provision made to furnish them with clothing, shelter and food. To Talbot Countians they undoubtedly seemed a miserable collection of beggars. But they were not. In Acadia before their uprooting, they had been sturdy farmers of French peasant stock, with comfortable houses, barns, livestock, chickens and good annual crops of wheat, flax and hemp. "They were an honest, hard-working, sober and virtuous people," an English officer who took part in their exile wrote of them. "Rarely did quarrels arise among them...I have never heard of marital infidelity among them." The men spent the short summer working their farms and the long winters hunting, trapping, and cutting wood for fences and fuel. The women and girls were experts at carding, spinning, weaving, and making garments from the plentiful furs. Most of those who reached Oxford were of a few closely interrelated families. Five of the family heads were brothers named L'Andre (later Anglicized as Landry), sons of Abraham L'Andre and his wife Marie, who had lived at the Acadian settlement called Pisiquid. Their ancestors had been in North America far longer than the forebears of the proud Talbot Countians who looked down their noses at the refugees. Rene L'Andre, the family founder, had migrated to Acadia from France with his new bride, Perrine, in 1640, when the Eastern Shore was a wilderness inhabited only by Indians and wild animals. The five brothers, Abraham, Charles, Rene, Alexandre and Pierre, were the original Rene's great grandsons. In addition, there were eight other family groups named L'Andre or Landry, undoubtedly descendants of Rene. A list of the Oxford arrivals compiled by Janet B. Jehn in "Acadian Descendents" includes a total of 81 persons, many of them children, named Landry. Other families were named LeBlanc, Bigeos, Braux, Babin, Douairon, Clemenceau, and Simonet. At Oxford, one man at least was moved to action by compassion for their plight. Henry Callister, factor (merchant) for the English shipping firm of Faster Cunliffe & Sons, was shocked at their condition. He used his own funds to provide them food and clothing, and immediately started trying to find temporary shelter for them. The grateful Acadians later wrote Governor Sharpe that they would have died of hunger if it hadn't been for Callister. "We can say with truth that he has saved our lives " they said. According to Colonel Lloyd, he also helped out despite his disapproval, ordering his Oxford storekeeper to pay Callister five pounds sterling a week for their subsistence "in order to prevent their starving or being too heavy a burden on the town of Oxford." But Lloyd was furious when Callister, seeking shelter for the refugees, hired young Jeremiah Banning to take a boatload of them up to Wye River and deposit them at the Lloyd plantation. Banning dropped off a few at the Rich Neck estate of Matthew Tilghman and more at Philemon Hambleton's Martingham, but about 50 were saddled on Lloyd. He was afraid they would be there all winter, for the weather was "very sharp and the sloop froze up in the river." If so, he wrote angrily to Hollyday, it would cost him an additional 12 pounds a week to feed them. Other Talbot Countians were even tighter with their purse strings. Rev. Thomas Bacon preached a sermon on "charity" at Whitemarsh Church Sunday, Dec. 14, and a collection was taken up "for the relief of the poor, distressed exiles of Acadia." But. he reported sadly, it turned out that his personal contribution was three times as large as that of his entire congregation.     Grudging charity cares for Acadian ‘pests’ (Second of two Articles)    By Dickson J. Preston   The 181 Acadian refugees from French Canada who landed at Oxford Dec. 8, 1755, were devout Roman Catholics, loyal subjects of King Louis XV, and members of large families with many children. All three characteristics made them unwelcome in the eyes of the Protestant, French-hating Talbot Countians who stuck with caring for them.                 They spoke no English and their family names – L’Andre, LeBlanc, Bigeos, Braux, Babin, Douairon. Clemenceau, Simonet – clogged up the throats of their grudging hosts. Even worse were such given names as Etienne, Jacques, Pelagie, Maturin, Baptiste, Ursule, Firmin, Brigette ND Hyacinthe, which Talbot officials couldn’t even pronounce, much less spell correctly.                 Nevertheless, somebody had to feed and clothe them, and shelter had to be found for at once. The winter of 1755-56 was a bitter one, with heavy snows, and ice clogging up all the creeks and coves.                 Henry Callister, Oxford merchant, took perhaps more credit than he deserved for his single-handed efforts in their behalf. On Christmas Day 1755, he sent Anthony Bacon of London, a brother of Rev. Thomas Bacon of Whitemarsh Church, an address to be presented to King George II asking for their relief. In a letter accompanying it he said:                 “Nothing yet has been done for them by the public…Nobody knows what to do; and a few have charity for them. I see no one interested in them but myself…The aversion we have to their principles as Papists, seems to have destroyed the seeds of charity in us.”                 And in January Callister wrote a lengthy letter to Maryland Governor Horatio Sharpe, who had been out of the colony when the Acadians arrived, telling of the “extraordinary” trouble and expense he had gone to in helping them, and enclosing and itemized bill for which he expected to be reimbursed.                 He complained to gov. Sharpe about opposition to his efforts by Col. Edward Lloyd, who had wanted the Acadians to be treated as prisoners of war and kept under restraint, but said nothing about the fact that Lloyd was contributing five pounds sterling a week toward their support.                 As a matter of fact, many other persons in Talbot, Queen Anne’s and Dorchester counties, despite their distaste for “Papists” had given Acadian families shelter on their estates.                 By January 17, Callister reported, all but five of the 27 families had been “placed in god houses for the winter,” and most of them were in good health. “There’s only and old woman dead in Dorset (Dorchester county), aged 87.” A boatload which he had sent up the Wye River estate of Colonel Lloyd all had been lodged, but he did not know at what houses.                 Among those recorded as having helped the refugees in the three counties were: Matthew Tilghman, Philemon Hambleton, P.C. Blake, Rev. Bacon, Thomas Browning, Jacques Tilghman, Michael Hacket, Jean Caile, Charles Brown, Guill Goldsborough, Mrs Sarah Black, Pollard Edmondson, David Robinson, Edward Niel, David and Simon Jones, Samuel Chamberlaine, Mrs. Marguerite Lowe, Thomas Wilson, Col. Joseph Ennalls, Careille Daly, Robert Howe and Edward Tilghman, in addition to Colonel Lloyd and Callister himself.                 It was a sizable list, and representative of the leading families of the area.                 Some had been taken in by Roman Catholic families, but the Governor’s council, suspicious of pro-French “plots”, soon ordered Catholics to be prohibited from having any contacts with the Acadians. Callister had reported that he had called back one family  “from the house of a Papist”, and that those still lodged at “Papists” houses could easily be distributed among Protestants in Queen Anne’s county.                 Those originally sent to Somerset County were far worse off than those at Oxford, There they received a complete rebuff, and were “obliged to betake themselves for shelter to the swamps, now and a long time full of snow, where they sicken and die.”                 Governor Sharpe ran into a stone wall when he tried to get money from the General Assembly to repay Callister and the others for out-of-pocket expenses. On March 16, 1756, he presented Callister’s bill to the lower house, which debated it and decided to do nothing about it. Eventually it appears that the governor paid Callister out of his own funds.                 Sharpe also fought a losing battle to get the Assembly to vote money for Acadian relief. The tide of anti-French and anti-Papist feeling in Maryland was too high. He apealed to the house to heed the “plight of these unfortunate French neutrals” and even sent a copy of an act passed by the Pennsylvania legislature as a model. But the stubborn Marylanders refused to vote any money for such a purpose.                 Instead, the Assembly in May passed an act pointing out that it was the governor of Nova Scotia who had saddled the colony with the Acadians in the first place. It declared that although Maryland, “out of compassion,” had permitted them to land ”in order that they might earn a living by their own labor and industry,” some through obstinancy’ refused to support themselves and their children.                 Therefore the county commissioners were empowered, if they saw fit, to treat the Acadians as objects of charity just as they treated their own poor. Children whose parents could not or would not support them were to be “suitably apprenticed.” No Acadian was to be permitted to travel more than ten miles from his place of residence.                 Under this less than generous arrangement, several of the refugee families in Talbot County  applied to the County Justices for relief. They were in desperate straits.                 Abraham L’Andre, one of the five L’Andre brothers in a group, was typical. At the age of 44, in hostile country where it was difficult to find work, he had a family of 12 to support. At least six of them were children under ten; and if the record is right his wife Marguerite was pregnant – a son Joseph is listed as having been born “in Maryland” in 1756 or 1757.                 According to Talbot court records, the Justices voted to give him 750 pounds of tobacco (about six pounds sterling, or $30). They voted similar amounts to his brother Charles, who had three small children and his father and mother, “very ancient people,” under his care; his brother Peter (Pierre); his nephew Firmin; and his cousins Joseph and Etienne Bigeos, whose name went down as “Bujiale” in the record book.                 Even this small charity infuriated many Talbot Countians. In February 1757 they complained to their representatives in the Assembly that the “wretched Acadians” were “going from house to house begging,” and that their “Papism” and their attachment to France, along with their “natural resentment of the treatment they have met with,” made it unsafe to keep them in Talbot County.                 “We therefore pray.” Their petition said, “that you will use your endeavors in the assembly to have this pest removed from among us.”                 Eventually these uncharitable Talbot Countians got their wish. By one means or another the “pests” removed themselves to Louisiana, where they became once more the solid citizens they had been in the first place, and where their Catholicism was an asset, not a curse.                 Rene L’Andre, one of the five brothers who were the backbone of the Oxford grpoup. Died June 3, 1781, in Donaldsonville, Ascension Parish, Louisiana. His nephew Joseph, the Talbot-born son of Abraham L’Andre, fought with the militia group in the American Revolution and thereby made his descendants eligible for the DAR. Francois, son of Alexandre L’Andre, in 1788 had an estate of six arpents (a land measurement peculiar to Louisiana) and owned 50 barrels of corn, five head of cattle, four horses and 13 hogs.                 Many of the women who had been small girls during the bad timesin Talbot County, met and married Acadian sweethearts in Louisiana and established sturdy families which would contribute much to American life.                 Today their descendants are known as “Cajuns” and there are more than 500,000 of them scattered among the 50 states. Most are still Catholics, and many still speak French; but they are none the less good Americans for that.   NOTE: Ronnie-Gilles LeBlanc, citing as his source Stephen A. White's manuscript of the new Dictionnaire II being prepared at the Centre d'études acadiennes, has written  "Pigiguit: l'impact du Grand Dérangement sur une  communauté de l'ancienne Acadie," which appeared in the book Du Grand  Dérangement à la Déportation: Nouvelles perspectives historiques, published in  2005 by the Chaire d'études acadiennes at Univ. of Moncton.   The article “Pigiguit” gives the name of husband/wife/village of origin/place of refuge/place of exile/and eventual settlement location.

FIRMIN LANDRY, PROGENITOR OF MANY ATTAKAPAS LANDRYS   Part 1   Firmin Landry of the parish of Saint Famille in Pisiquid Acadia son of Alexandre Landry and Marguerite Blanchard was born ca 1728. - In ca 1750, at the age of approximately 22-23 years, Firmin was married to Françoise Thibodeau, the names of her parents are unknown, but it is believed that she was the grand-daughter of Pierre Thibodeau, of Pisiquid in "la pariosse de L'Assomption de Pisiquid”. They were probably married in the church of “L'Assomption de Pisiquid”, located on the east bank of the Pisiquid (Avon) River, present day Windsor, Nova Scotia. Firmin Landry and Françoise Thibodeau, probably lived near Firmin’s parents Alexandre Landry and Marguerite Blanchard, in “Village (Pierre) Germain Landry”, which was located on the west side near one of the branches of the Pisiquid (Avon) River as it traversed into the tidal marshland. This area as well of all of the west side of the Pisiquid (Avon) River would later in 1722, be designated as "la pariosse de la Sainte Famille de Pisiquid" (present day Falmouth, N.S). “Village (Pierre) Germain Landry was established by Firmin Landry’s grandfather Germain Landry, bn 1674, son of René Landry and Marie Bernard. Germain’s two brothers Abraham Landry, born ca. 1678 and Pierre Landry, born ca.1680, left Port Royal in search of good farmland along the tidal rivers of the Minas Basin. They chose land near the marsh-lands of the various rivers, built dikes and placed the drained marshland (dike-land) under cultivation in order to support a permanent settlement.  They then established villages that would bear their names. And on the 1755 map of Pisiquid, there are plainly marked villages named “Village (Pierre) Germain Landry”, “Village Abraham Landry” and “Village Pierre Landry”. Germain Landry, along with his two brothers Pierre Landry and Abraham Landry, appear in the Pisiquid census for 1714. It is believed that the settlements at Grand-Pré, La Riviere aux Canards and Pisiquid were formed this way. There were villages named Landry located in "la pariosse de L'Assomption” on the east bank of the Pisiquid River (present day Windsor), as well as in the area around Grand Pré. (John V. Duncanson, - FALMOUTH - A NEW ENGLAND TOWNSHIP IN NOVA SCOTIA - p. 4) (Bona Arsenault "Historie et Genealogie des Acadiens" Tome 1 [Port-Royal], p. 434) 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 1751, their first child Helene (Eleine) Landry was born. And two years later sometime in 1753 their second child Joseph and sometime in 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. Captain Murray, the commander of Fort Edward at Pisiquid, tried to ease the tension by insisting 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, 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.  Inside the house, Françoise was spinning the wool into yarn to make clothes and blankets for the coming winter. Ans since it was time for the new baby to arrive, she will need some warm clothes for the baby as well. And it was this young family of five, 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. 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. What had they done to deserve this cruel and harsh treatment? Hadn’t they signed the “conditional” oath of allegiance to the British Crown. What would they do? Where would they be sent? In Grand Pré, the houses and barns were being burned and the glow of the fires could be seen as they lit up the sky. Smoke filled the air.

The ships had been renovated or re-fitted to accommodate 2 persons per shipping ton. This was not enough room for them to spend the amount of time it would take to travel to the New England colonies along the raetern seaboard. The height of the area they were housed was not quite 5 feet high. This ment that most adults couldn’t stand up straight, and since the space was so limited, they couldn’t all lie down at the same time. They had to sleep in shifts. The holds of the ships were damp and dark, and the only fresh air they had was when some were allowed to spend a few minutes on deck. The seas were rough, as is the case at this time of the year. Some, or possibly most of the Acadians became seasick. While at sea, they encountered a severe storm and had to take refuge at Boston.

Hi Claire and Listers.. I have just sent a message asking if this book is still available. When I saw Ronnie-Gilles last September I thought he had told me it was just about sold out. I will post information when I receive a response.

While researching St Landry, bishop of Paris The person who both the civil parish and church in opelousas Louisiana is named for, I discovered the story of Blessed Pierre Landry" " martyr des carmes" in Paris, where an Archbishop, 2 Bishops and about 2 hundred priests suffered Martyrdom for ther faith during the Massacre in the garden of the "Couvent des Carmes” on the 2nd or 3rd of September, 1792 At the time Blessed Pierre Landry was serving as assistant pastor of the church at in Niort, when he and a fellow assistant pastor along with the pastor of the church in Noirt were arrested and massacred at Carmes during the "Reign of Terror". An account of his martardom can be found at: _http://www.landrystuff.com/Blessed_Pierre_Landry.htm_ (http://www.landrystuff.com/Blessed_Pierre_Landry.htm) I am corresponding with relatives of Blessed Pierre landry in France and will post any additional information I learn about him.

Karen and all, I second Karen's recommendation of, Du Grand Dérangement à la Déportation, an excellent collection of essays. Ronnie-Gilles LeBlanc's long and valuable essay entitled "Pigiguit: L'Impact du Grand Dérangement," talks about the people who lived in that settlement at the time of the deportation. He gives a very informative account of the event leading up to the deportation, and how the deportation affected those families. His tables on pp. 224– 246 are very helpful, and he does link them back to White's books, which is very useful. But let me add a word of caution when using those lists—as always, we want to verify what we find. For example, the listing for my ancestor, Pierre LeMire, on p. 236 shows Pierre LeMire (husband); Marie-Josèphe Forest (wife); took refuge in Chipoudie and Pierre LeMire (husband); Isabelle Thibodaux (second wife); took refuge in Chipoudie; exiled in Halifax; finally established in Quebec (Nicolet) and Louisiana Regarding the first line... In fact, Marie Josèphe Forest and Pierre had both died before the deportations, so they never took refuge in Chipoudie. She died before by 1738 when he married his second wife, Isabelle Thibodaux at Port Royal. And he died before 1748 when his daughter Petronnille married (I have a copy of her Beaubassin marriage record, which mentions him as deceased). Regarding the second line... Pierre was already deceased, so the exile and deportation information in the line does not refer to him. Isabelle Thibodaux (his second wife) and at least some of her children took refuge in Chipoudie and then went to Nicolet. I am not aware that she and those children were imprisoned in Halifax, however. Other of Pierre's children, though, were imprisoned in Halifax and that group did go to Louisiana. So what appears in a single line in the table is really a summary and you can't assume that all of the information in that line applies to all the names mentioned on that line. Bear in mind that as important as the LeMire family is to me (smile!), it is not one of the "major, classic Acadian families." In fact, it is bit of a mystery in that community, with very sketchy information. So it is quite understandable that confusion could creep in. That caution notwithstanding, LeBlanc's article is excellent, and his tables are extremely helpful in sorting out what happened to the residents of Pigiguit during the deportations. His cross-references with White's work makes it all the more valuable. In the end, though, in genealogy we always need to verify what we find! That's both the challenge and the fun of the research, isn't it?

Hi all, just a heads up there are a lot of french, american books up on ebay today at really low low prices. ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.

I have had inquiries about the article I cited earlier: Ronnie-Gilles LeBlanc, "Pigiguit: l'impact du Grand Dérangement sur une communauté de l'ancienne Acadie," which appeared in the book Du Grand Dérangement à la Déportation: Nouvelles perspectives historiques, published in 2005 by the Chaire d'études acadiennes at Univ. of Moncton. Half of the articles in the book are in English, the rest in French. The article cited is one of ten in the book, and goes from page 167 to page 246. The last 23 pages are a graphic spreadsheet giving the name of husband/wife/village of origin/place of refuge/place of exile/and eventual settlement location. This section is easily understandable even to an English-only reader. Mr. LeBlanc on p. 223 cites his source as Stephen A. White's manuscript of the new Dictionnaire II being prepared at the Centre d'études acadiennes. In the graph on p. 242, Pierre LANDRY is designated #114, son of Pierre #37. His wife is designated daughter of Jean-Baptiste DUPUIS #13. They originated in the Acadian Village-Abraham-Landry, and settled in Louisiana. The book has other treasures, including these in English: "The True Number of the Acadians" by Stephen A.

Hi Karen, In your reply to Claire, see below, you indicate Pierre LANDRY married 1st to Anne Elisabeth Dupuis. Would you happen to have any other marriages for Pierre? I have a Pierre Landry marrying Marguerite LEFOREST whose daughter, Marie Brigite Landry married Charles Trahan in 1748 at Pisquit.. I have no parents for the above Pierre that married Marguerite Leforest. Could this be the same family? I would love to add them to my database if they are related. Thanks, Marsha Claire & all, The parents of Pierre LANDRY who married 1st to Anne Elisabeth DUPUIS are in White's DGFA: his father was also a Pierre LANDRY, born about 1705 in Pisiguit, Acadia (on p. 932); his mother was Anne-Marie DOUCET, born 1706, baptized at Grand Pre, Acadia (on p. 544). The parents of Anne Elisabeth DUPUIS are also in the DGFA: her father was Jean Baptiste DUPUIS, born 1706, baptized at Port Royal, Acadia (p. 602); her mother was Anne BREAU, born 1710, baptized at Grand Pre, Acadia (p. 275). The relationship to these parents is confirmed in an article by Ronnie-Gilles LeBlanc, "Pigiguit: l'impact du Grand D?rangement sur une communaut? de l'ancienne Acadie," which appeared in the book Du Grand D?rangement ? la D?portation: Nouvelles perspectives historiques, published in 2005 by the Chaire d'?tudes acadiennes at Univ. of Moncton.
