Marie Anne LeJeune was recorded as Mary Ann Young and spouse of John Dauphney on marriage certificate. She seems to have been one of the first Duffneys to settle in Port au Port, Newfoundland.
In the baptism records of her children Isaac and Emily, she is listed as "Mary Ann Young"[1]
It is not known when she died. I have her death as after 1851 because she was still alive at the baptism of her daughter Genevieve on Aug 28 1851. The death records for the 1850s through to the 1880s are missing and she has not been found yet in those that have been transcribed.[2]
She is possibly the daughter of Joseph Christophe Lejeune and Radegonde Lejeune. [3][4]
DNA testing has revealed that Mary Ann is Indigenous. It is believed that she is either the daughter of Joseph Christophe and Radegonde or a child of one of the other Lejeune cousin marriages. This would mean that she is Mi'kmaq. Vachon does not name a primary record so it is possible that she has different parents
Notes and copy of marriage certificate held in the files of Rhon White, from a journal at the Beaton, showing the records of Saint George on file. it appears that neither spouse could sign their name as there was an X in the signature.

Unknown Bourg is a new profile and family relationships were recently changed for Germain Doucet based on research by Carl Vachon and Denis Savard. I checked the parentage of everyone down from Unknown Bourg and I think this is the incorrect link. Could you review, please? We can loop Denis in if you need as he knows a lot more about it than I do. https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Savard-914
We are trying to get the incorrect DNA links (the non T2b7a2) on Unknown Bourg removed and that needs to happen by correcting relationships. Appreciate your looking into it.
Thank you, Rhon! Cindy
Update, I may have found the improper links for Unknown Bourg further up in her ancestors (with Jeanne Lejeune), but possibly this question is still relevant.

With regard to Bourg, I am now motivated to trace my line back to the first known ancestor. It is probably Antoine who married Antoinette Landry. Would be nice to know.
Thanks for bringing this to my attention. It's always nice to hear from you. Even if I cannot give much help, it makes me curious as to what we can find. Thanks for sharing. Best of luck in your searches too.
Take care Rhon

André-Carl Vachon- expert on the Lejeune family - believes to have ID'd the wrong link at Leroy-924 : Martine's husband is specified «legitimate» at their marriage and she is not. The marriage is transcribed and translated on that profile. More later.
