Biography

Elizabeth (Robar) Vienot was a Huguenot emigrant (1540-1790).

Elizabeth Catherine Robart (Robar) was born September 9, 1741 at Étobon. Punch lists her as the daughter of Joshué Robert.[1]

The record of her having "emigrated from Montebeliard and arrived in Halifax, NS on the ship 'Betty' in 1752." (from Passenger lists for ships carrying "Foreign Protestants" to Nova Scotia. Ship named the "Betty..." is being researched. Jim O'Connor, in his research, makes the statement that she is listed as a "passenger on the Betty, along with her brother Joshua and widowed mother, Jeanne Robert".[2]

Children

Punch notes that 11 children were born to Ann Catherine Robert. The first child, Elizabeth born, November 20, 1759, is listed in this source as having the surname Robert but is considered one of the 11 children of Christophe James Vienot.

Research Notes

Father

Her father is listed in Montbéliard migration to Nova Scotia as Joshué Robert.[3]

Entry for Robert from the Betty, 1752:

Robert, David, 18, Montbeliard, Farmer

This is probably her father and she was with the family on the "Speedwell", not the "Betty". There is more information of her father's profile Robar-12.

Robar-11 and Robar-143 appear to represent the same person because: son Johann George is your John George.

Robar-11 and Robart-2 appear to represent the same person because: There are a few minor spelling inconsistencies, but these 2 profiles are consolidated with more information about her father. She was included on details of her parents' arrival on the Speedwell.

Robar-131 and Robar-11 appear to represent the same person because: appears to be same person

Robar-11 and Robart-2 are not ready to be merged because: Need to find the correct last name at birth if possible. I tried to find the source posted for her arrival in Acadia on Robart-2. Can not verify the ship name. It has been changed from Speed well to Betty but not on either ship list. Her father Abraham may be the one listed on the Speedwell. I posted the links on the profile.
