Anne Richard was born in about 1671 in Port Royal to Michel Richard and Madeleine Blanchard, progenitors of one of the largest Acadian families in North America. Anne and her twin sister, Madeleine, were five weeks old in the census of that year.^[1] She was counted again in 1678, at age 8.^[2]

Around 1686, Anne married Germain Thériot, son of Claude Thériot and Marie Gautrot.^[3]

In 1686, at Port Royal, Anne RICHARD, aged 15, was living with her husband, Germain TERRIOT [sic], aged 23. They owned 1 gun and were living on 6 arpents of cultivable land with 6 cattle and 8 sheep. No children were listed yet.^[4]

Seven years later, in the 1693 census, Anne and Germain had three sons and were living at Les Mines in the southeastern arm of the Bay of Fundy.^[5] They continued to tend their farm and raise their children there for many years, as shown in the censuses between 1701 and 1714.^[6][7][8][9]

Over the span of 27 years, Anne gave birth to 11 children, seven boys and four girls. Her sixth and ninth children, both unnamed sons, did not live to adulthood. When her last child, son Germain, was born in 1713, Anne was 42 years old.
