Biography

Jean Jacques "James" Langille was born circa 1736, the son of David Langille and his first wife, of Dampierre, Montbéliard, in what is now France^{[1] [2]}

In 1752, he emigrated with his family to Halifax, Nova Scotia aboard the Sally. He is noted as a 16-year old farmer in the passenger lists, which distinguishes him from his younger brother and/or adopted step-brother, who were also Jean Jacques^{[3] [1] [2]}. In 1753, they were among the founders of Lunenburg township^{[4] [5] [6]}

On May 4, 1763, he married Eve, daughter of George Leau^[7]. Circa 1772, the family then moved to Frederick River, River John, Colchester County, Nova Scotia.^{[8] [1]}

Their children included:

1. John George, born March 17, 1765^[7], who married Mary Hayman^{[1] [8]}
2. Mary Catherine, born July 26, 1767^[7], who died young^[1]
3. John David, born October 1, 1769^[7], who married Mary Miller at River John^[1]
4. Mary Magdalen, born February 27, 1772^{[7] [1]}
5. James, born circa 1773 in River John, who married Agnes Nancy, daughter of John George Patriquin^[1]
6. Joseph, born circa 1775, who married Phoebe, daughter of John George Patriquin^[1]
7. George-Frederick, born circa 1777, who married Susan Catherine, daughter of John George Patriquin^[1]

James Langille was living in Tatamagouche in 1817^{[1] [9]}. This profile shows he died some time after 1817.

Settled in French River after immigrating to Nova Scotia in 1752 with his Father, David Langille (settled in Lombardy Point).

After spending several years in Lunenburg, Nova Scotia, he and his family were among the first English-authorized settlers of Tatamagouche, Nova Scotia, following the Acadian expulsion.^[10]
