Biography

Magdeleine, the daughter of Pierre Vincent and Anne Gaudet, doesn't seem to be listed in the 1671 Port Royal census with the family,^[1] but the 1678 Census includes a 10 year old girl.^[2]

François Moyse dit Latreille, born perhaps at Arcasson, France, in c1655, had reached Acadia by 1681, when he was recorded as the godfather of an Indian girl at Chignecto^[3]. He married Madeleine, daughter of Pierre Vincent, at Port-Royal in c1685. They moved to Passamaquoddy on Rivière Ste-Croixe, at the border of present-day Maine and New Brunswick, where they were counted in 1693, and then to Rivière St-Jean, present-day New Brunswick, where they were counted five years later. François died at Port-Royal in January 1711, in his late 50s, so the family must have moved there sometime in the early 1700s. He and Madeleine had six children. One of their daughters married into the Pouget dit Lapierre family. Three of their four sons created families of their own:

Oldest son François dit Latreille, fils, born probably at Passamaquoddy in c1689, married Marie, daughter of Sébastien Brun, at Port-Royal in September 1713. They had 10 children, including three sons who married into the Blanchard, Hébert, and Bourg families. Their daughters married into the Blanchard, Bourg, Dugas, Guédry, LeBlanc, Ozelet, and Pitre families. The family moved to Île St.-Jean, today's Prince Edward Island, by the 1750s. One of François dit Latreille, fils's grandsons by his son Joseph created the only Acadian Moyse/Moïse family line in Louisiana.

Louis dit Latreille, born probably at Passamaquoddy in c1694, married Marie-Louise, daughter of Claude Petitpas, at Port-Toulouse, Île Royale, today's Cape Breton Island, in c1718. Their daughter Marie was born on Île Royale in c1741 and was the member of this family line to emigrate to Louisiana.

Pierre, baptized at Port-Royal in c1718, age unrecorded, must have been an even more avid wanderer than his older brothers. He married Marie-Rose, daughter of Paul Daniel and widow of ____ Mercier, at Grand-Bourg, Guadeloupe, in the Caribbean, in January 1753, before Le Grand Dérangement.

Youngest son Joseph, born in c1699, died at Port-Royal in August 1714. He was only 15 years old.

In 1755, descendants of François dit Latreille could be found on Île St.-Jean and Île Royale.

Marriage

François's wife's name, Magdelaine Vincent, is noted on the marriage of their son François in 1713^[4], which notes that François Moyse, and Magdelaine Vincent, habitants of Pasemoucadie were already deceased.
