Biography

Cécile Liébert was born and baptized on 15 Aug 1773 in Montréal (ND), the daughter of Philippe Liébert and Marie Françoise Lenoir.^[1]

She married Jean Gasqueton, 30 year old son of Pierre (deceased) and Isabeau Delhomme, of the town of Anins, in the Bordeaux diocese, on 29 Sept 1794 in Montréal (ND)^[2]. They both signed the record. (Jean's name gets converted to Gaston rather than Gasqueton in later records, although his signature was quite clearly Gasqueton on his marriage)

Known children:

1. Jean Baptiste Gaston, born & bapt 23 Jul 1795 Montréal (ND); died 12 Aug 1796 buried 14th Québec (ND), @ 1 year
2. Catherine Louise Gaston, died 23 Jul 1797 buried 24th Montréal (ND) @ 9 m
3. Édouard Gaston, born 12 Oct 1799 bapt 13 St-Marc-sur-Richelieu; died 28 Jul 1800 buried 30th Montréal (ND) @ 9 m^[3]

They obviously traveled around from locations of children's records. No further trace was found of them after July 1800 in this province's records.

She passed away in 1812 possibly in New York and was buried the following day on the 17th of April 1812 at L’Acadie, Quebec.
