Biography

Anne was 3 years of age in the Indian Census of 1708 (see source link below). Her name on son Francois baptism record was Nanette.[1]

Paul Guédry (19) married Anne Marie Muis (14) in 1720 in Annapolis Royal, Acadie, Colony of Nova Scotia. (No marriage record found in St. Jean-Baptiste, the church serving Annapolis Royal).

Their known children were:

  1. Judith Guédry (1722)
  2. Helene b 1723[2]
  3. Jacques Guédry (1724)
  4. Marie-Josephe /Guédry/ birth: 1728
  5. Jean Anselme Guidry (about 1730) [uncertain].
  6. Marguerite Guidry (1732)
  7. Joseph Thomas Guédry (about 1733)
  8. Paul Guédry (about 1742)
  9. Jean Guidry (1743)
  10. François Guédry (before Nov 19 1749)

1722, in early summer, Paul was captured by the English with his brothers Claude, Philippe and Augustin and apparently their families. This along the east coast of Acadia during Drummer's War. They were first sent to New Hampshire, then later to Boston. Finally released in the fall of 1723. At least two children, Augustin and Jeanne's child Marie Josephe, and Paul and Anne's child Judith were born in Boston[3].

As written in the 1752 Census of Ile Royale, Anne Mius (the given age of 43 incorrect) and Paul Guedry (the given age of 45 incorrect) were living at Baye des Espagnola, Cape Breton. Their children were listed as Jean 22, Thomas 19, Paul 10, Petit Jean 9, François 2, Marguerite 20.This was the family's second attempt at living on Cape Breton.[4]

From her husbands information: Anne Mius d'Entremont, illegitimate daughter of a Mius d'Entremont and of a half-bred squaw of the East Coast. Once married he continued the life of his father, lifetime of fishing and of the coasting trade; he practiced the fishing from Baie St-Marie to Cap Nord of the Isle of Cap-Breton.

From Ancestors.com, When Anne Mius D'Entrement was born in 1705, in Cap-de-Sable, Yarmouth, Nova Scotia, Canada, her father, Philippe Mius, was 46 and her mother, Marie Mi'kmaq, was 36. She married Paul Guédry in 1720, in Annapolis Royal, Nova Scotia, British Colonial America. They were the parents of at least 8 sons and 2 daughters. Pobomcoup, meaning in Mi'kmaq "land from which the trees have been removed to fit it for cultivation" Pubnico, the modern spelling of Pobomcoup. Pubnico is considered the oldest village in Nova Scotia still occupied by the Acadians, and also the oldest village in Canada still occupied by the descendants of its founder. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philippe_Mius_d%27Entremont

It seems that so far they had 6 sons and 2 or 4 daughters. Can you help identify the additional sons and all of the daughters from your source, Leslie?
