Biography

Jean-Baptiste (Hebert) Hébert lived
in Canada, Nouvelle-France.

JEAN BAPTISTE HEBERT, son of Etienne and Jeanne Comeau was born 1692-06-24 St-Joseph-de-la-Riviere-aux-Canards, Acadie (Grand-Pre, Kings, Nova Scotia).

On 1720-01-08 at Grand-Pré Acadie, he married [[Granger-1162|Elisabeth Granger, daughter of Pierre and Elisabeth Guilbault.^[1][2] Quite a few people were witnesses: Estienne Hebert, Pierre Granger, Joseph Grangé, Francois LeBlanc (signed), René Aucoin, Antoine Landry (signed), Charles Hébert.^[3] Before 1741 the couple had seven children: Marguerite, Francoise, Etienne, Joseph, Jean Baptiste, Honore Thomas, and Marie.

Based on the marriages of the children and the deaths of the parents, some of the family ended up in Quebec during the Great Upheaval.

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]

In June 1767 they left Boston aboard a schooner with other exiled Acadians and disembarked at the port of Québec on 23 July 1767. ^[6] Travelling with Jean-Baptiste and Élisabeth were their adult sons Joseph, Honoré and Étienne, and their granddaughter Marie Hébert.
