Biography

Agnes Thibodeau, daughter of Michel and Agnes Dugas was born 19 Nov 1706 in Port Royal, Acadia and christened 22 Nov 1706. [1][2]

Agnes married Joseph Broussard dit Beausoleil 11 September 1725 in Annapolis Royal, Acadia.[3][4][1]

Their children were:

  1. Joseph Broussard (~1726–1788) .
  2. Jean Grégoire Broussard (1726–1758) .
  3. Raphael Broussard (~1733–<1765) .
  4. Isabelle Broussard (~1735–1774) .
  5. Athanase Timothee Broussard (1741–<1769) .
  6. Marguerite Broussard (~1742–1821) .
  7. Amand Broussard (~1745–1818) .
  8. François Broussard (~1746–1819) .
  9. Claude Eloi Broussard (~1748–1819) .
  10. Françoise Broussard (~1751–1801)

She and her family were held as prisoners of war at Fort Edward, Nova Scotia, around October 11, 1762. British documents indicate that there were five persons in her family group in October 1762. [5] Her husband and 4 children immigrated to Louisiana.

It isn't presently known more about Agnés or exactly when she died. She isn't listed on the Wall of Names at the Acadian Memorial which indicates she died before her family arrived in Louisiana. Her husband Joseph is listed on the Wall along with four of their children: Francois, Claude, Amand and Francoise.[6]

Thibodeau-396 and Thibodeau-1036 appear to represent the same person because: Clear duplicate; child Armand is duplicate of Broussard-301.
