Marie Gaudet migrated from France to Acadia.

Marie Gaudet was born about 1633 in France, daughter of Jean Gaudet (abt. 1575–bef. 1678) and Unknown (Inconnu) Gaudet (abt. 1600– ).^[1] Shortly after Marie married Étienne Hébert, her father remarried (to Nicole Colleson) and her youngest sibling was born about the time of her third child.

Note: While Marie's potential place of birth in France had been suggested to be Martaizé (which was near Loudun in Poitou), no corresponding source documents or citations have been identified, her parents are considered unknown, and neither White DGFA nor any other reference cited appears to identify her birth as being at Martaizé. Without further information or a source being identified, her birth is noted as being in France with the particular locality being unknown.

Marie (16) married Étienne Hébert (20) (born about 1629 in France; son of Unknown Hébert) in 1650 in Port-Royal, Acadie, Nouvelle-France.^[1] Their known children were:^[1]

1. Marie Hebert (abt. 1651–abt. 1677) .
2. Marguerite (Hebert) Hébert (abt. 1652–aft. 1715) .
3. Emmanuel Hebert (abt. 1653–1744) .
4. Éstienne Hebert (abt. 1654–1713) .
5. Jean Hebert (abt. 1659–abt. 1744) .
6. Françoise Hebert (abt. 1661–1713) .
7. Catherine Hebert (1662–1727) .
8. Martine Hébert (bef. 1665– ) .
9. Michel Hebert (1666–1736) .
10. Antoine Hébert (abt. 1670–bef. 1753)

According to depositions from their descendants, Marie came from France with her husband.^[2]

When Etienne died between 1669 and 1671,^[1][3]Marie (42) married Dominique Gareau (49) (born in 1626 in France) in 1676 in Port-Royal, Acadie. Their known daughter was Marie Gareau (abt. 1677–abt. 1755).^[4][5]

In 1686, at Port Royal, Marie GODET [sic]was living with her second husband, Dominique GARAULT [sic], aged 60, and their daughter, Elarie [recte Marie] Garault [sic], aged 9, and her two sons: Michel, aged 20, and Antoine, aged 16. Her two sons were children she had with her first husband, Emanuel [recte Etienne] HEBERT. The family lived on 3 arpents of cultivable land with 4 sheep and 4 hogs.^[6]

She was widowed again between 1686^[6] and 1698^[7]

Marie Godet, wife of Hebert was buried at Port Royal on July 30 1710, aged about 80 years.^[8][9]

DNA. The Mothers of Acadia Maternal DNA project is conducting ongoing research to verify their origins. As of 2015, Stephen White reported that Marie Gaudet had a J1b2 haplogroup.^[10] Numerous descendants have consistently reported a J haplogroup with 5 of those doing full testing to J1b2 , with many descendants of her sister Francoise Gaudet who have also reported a J haplogroup with 5 of those doing full testing to J1b2.^[11]. J haplogroups indicate European origins.

DNA Confirmations

• mtDNA Tester Justin Russ is a grandchild of Marie Anne Elaine Cormier who is a 9x ggd of Unknown (Inconnu) Gaudet through daughter Francoise Gaudet (abt.1623-abt.1699).
• mtDNA Tester UNK is a great grandchild of Leontine Josephine Leboeuf, who is a 8x ggd of Unknown (Inconnu) Gaudet through daughter Marie Gaudet (abt.1633-abt.1710).
• Maternal relationship is confirmed through Mitochondrial DNA test results on Family Tree DNA. Justin Russ FTDNA kit # N66807, (a grandchild of Marie Anne Elaine Cormier) and his maternal line cousin UNK (a great grandchild of Leontine Josephine Leboeuf), FTDNA kit # MK12792, have an exact HVR1 and HVR2 match, thereby confirming their direct maternal lines back to their most-recent common ancestor who is Unknown (Inconnu) Gaudet the 11x great grandmother of Justin Russ and the 11x grandmother of UNK.
