Biography

Anne was born 5 May 1740. She was the daughter of Michel Joseph Caissie and Catherine Poirier. She was baptized 7 May 1740 at Beaubassin. Her godparents were Charles Poyrie and Charles Poyrie.^[1]

She was listed in the la Roque census in 1752 at Port-la-Joye, living with her step-mother (second wife of her father), though perhaps she is called an orphan because her father and mother had died by then.^[2]
