Biography

Geneviève Lavergne is one of twins.

Geneviève was born in 1708. She was the daughter of Pierre Lavergne and Cécile Bernon and the twin sister of Cecile Lavergne^[1]

Birth: Mar 1 1708 Port Royal, Acadia

Christening: Mar 2 1708 Port Royal, Acadia

Marriage: 14 Feb 1726/27, Port Royal, Acadie to Charles Hache dit Gallant Feb 24 1727 Port Royal, Acadia.

The family moved to Ile Saint Jean by 1734 as they were found on the two censuses taken that year. ^[2][3]

They were also mentioned in the census of 1752 (La Roque) taken at at Rivière-du-Nord-Est, (South side) Isle Saint-Jean (present-day Prince Edward Island) .^[4]

In the same census, they were also mentioned in the entry for Sieur Louis Jonisseaux at Port-Lajoie. "They (Le Sr. Louis Jonisseaux, merchant & his wife Marie Therese Dauphin) hold the land by virtue of the following purchases, namely; One of two arpents front and fourty in depth, from Charles Haché Galland and Geneviève Lavergne his wife, and another of two arpents five perches front with a depth extending to the bank of the Barachois or Ance aux Sauvages from Louis la Bauve and Marie Landry his wife." ^[5]

"The Acadian's hope of living peacefully on Isle Saint-Jean was soon shattered. In the summer of 1758, the fortress of Louisbourg on Isle Royale was attacked by British troops. The French capitulated thereby forfeiting Ile Saint-Jean as well. Soldiers were sent to the Island with orders to deport the inhabitants to France. Some 3000 Islanders were successfully rounded up and crowded on ships that set sail for Europe later in the fall. For the Acadians, it was disaster.1500 of them managed to escape deportation by fleeing to the Bay of Chaleurs region and to Quebec where many died of sickness and hunger. Of those deported to France, more that half drowned or died by disease and illness during the voyage and many others died in the months following their arrival in France."^[6]

Most of the members of this family managed to escape deportation by fleeing to Restigouche.^[7] That is where, on 7 January 1761, Genevieve's daughter Henriette married Jean Pierre Melanson . After a few years, they returned to the land that they had abandoned on Isle Saint-Jean and in 1763 were named on a list of Acadians wishing to leave the island which had become a British colony and go to a French colony. They were residing at the time at Du-Moulin-à-Vent (near present-day Mount Stewart). There were 5 families there and everyone was related. There was Geneviève now widowed, her daughters Henriette and Anne, her brother-in-law François Haché, her nephew Louison Haché and their families.^[8] By 1765, they were all living in Havre-Saint-Pierre, Isles de la Madeleine where they stayed only a few years. They later settled in the Baie des Chaleurs region.^[7][9]

She passed away about 1813.^{[citation needed]}

"... quelques-uns des enfants de la veuve Charles Gallant s’établissent à Nipisiguit, y inclus Henriette et son époux Pierre Melanson. Joseph Chiasson et Anne Haché se rendent sur l’île de Miscou et de là leurs enfants vont s’établir à Caraquet et à Lamèque. Le couple de Louison Gallant et d’Anne Chiasson s’installent à Shippagan où Anne meurt en 1814. Trois de leurs garçons s’y fixent alors que les cinq autres retournent à île Saint-Jean s’établir à Rustico et à la baie de Malpèque.

La famille de François Haché et d’Anne Boudreau demeure dans l’île et s’établit à Rustico où les descendants portent le nom Gallant. Cette famille comprenait dix garçons que les historiens et généalogistes ont nommé « les dix frères de Rustico » 158 . En fait, deux des fils sont éventuellement partis s’installer au Nouveau-Brunswick : Sylvestre à Grande-Digue et René à Caraquet."^[7]
