Biography

Pierre Granger was born in 1719. He was the son of Pierre Granger and Isabelle Guilbeau. He was baptized the same day as his birth 16 Aug 1719 at Saint Charles des Mines, Grand-Pré, Acadia. His godparents were Pierre Doucet and Anne Richard.^[1][2]

He married Euphrosine Gauterot, daughter of jean Gauterot and Anne Leblanc, on 23 January 1741 at Saint-Charles des Mines, Grand-Pré, Acadia. Pierre's father was deceased at the time of his wedding.^[3][4][5]

They were deported to Maryland in 1755, where they were forced to remain until the war's end. At that time they were counted on the census in Snowhill with five children.

Census: 7 Jul 1763 Snowhill, Worcester, MD ^[6]

Pierre Granger died in his early 40s, but his exact date of death is unknown. ^[7] Euphrosine Gautreaux is listed as his widow on the Acadian Wall of Names in Louisiana, which suggests that Pierre Granger may have died in Maryland or en route to Louisiana after the Maryland census of July 7, 1763, and before 1769, when a 1769 Louisiana census identified Euphrosine as married to Pierre Landry: "Pierre Landry, age 48; Froizine Gautheraut, w 45; Firmain, s 10; Paul, s 7; Ozitte, d 16; Baptiste Grange, s.l. 16." ^[8] However, when his daughter Marie married in New Orleans 1767 April 6, her parents were present and are referred to twice in the marriage contract. "Manuel Quintero, resident of New Orleans, son of Antoine Quintero and of Anne de LaCroix Fernandez, enters into a marriage contract with Marie Granger, minor daughter of Pierre Granger and of Euphrosine Gauthrot, native of La Grande Pre in Acadia, herein represented by her parents, who stipulate for her; and "Marie Granger and her parents declare themselves unable to sign." He died after that date and the fact that he was in New Orleans indicates he did arrive in Louisiana. ^[9][10][11]
