Elisabeth Granger has English ancestors.

Elisabeth Granger was born about 1701 [1] in Acadie. [2] She was the daughter of Pierre Granger and Isabelle Guilbeau.

She married Jean Hebert, son of Etienne Hebert and Jeanne Comeau 8 Jan 1720 at Saint Charles des Mines.[3]

On 5 September 1755, Jean-Baptiste was imprisoned along with hundreds of other Acadian men at the St. Charles des Mines church in Grand-Pré. On a list of prisoners, he was said to live in the village des Hébert with 1 son and 2 daughters (spouses were not included on the list), and owned 2 bullocks, 8 cows, 18 young cattle, 57 sheep, 26 hogs, and 2 horses. His property and livestock became forfeit to the crown, and his family was required to prepare for deportation within 30 days. [4][5]

In December 1755 Jean-Baptiste, Elisabeth, and their children Jean-Baptiste, Marie and an unnamed girl, were deported to Massachusetts. They were recorded on a census in Worcester, Massachusetts in 1760 and again in Massachusetts in 1763. [5]

After the end of the Seven Years' War in 1763, the Acadians detained in the Anglo-American colonies were finally free to leave. On 1 March 1765, James Murray, Governor of the Province of Quebec, issued a proclamation offering free land to new immigrants. Between 1765 and 1775, 1306 Acadians deported to New England immigrated to Quebec. [6] Jean-Baptiste was mentioned in lists of Acadians in Massachusetts on 14 August 1763, 8 February 1766 and 2 June 1766, who desired to emigrate to the Province of Québec. [6]

Elisabeth died around 3 October 1767 and was buried on that day in Trois-Rivières. [7] She was given the age of about 66 years. The date of death was omitted. The burial date inscribed is 3 September 1767 but it seems to be an error since the entry is between events dated 1 October 1767 and 5 October 1767. [8]

Granger-1219 and Granger-1162 appear to represent the same person because: Same name. Same birth era. Same parents. Same spouse (also needs merge). Same death date and place.
