Marie Anne Cholet Laviolette was born July 26, 1706, in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. She was the daughter of (and first born) Sebastien Cholet Laviolette and Marie Anne Ener Prevost (formerly Anne Heard or Herd/Hurd) who was one of the New Englanders captured during the Candlemas Massacre in 1692 (see Herd-236 for details). Marie Anne was baptized on the same day she was born also in Montreal.

When she was 20 years old, she married Jean Baptiste Legault Deslauriers on January 14, 1726. Their union produced 10 children: Jean Baptiste (who died 1-day before his first birthday), Jean Baptiste (m.

Antoine Clement Lariviere Chambly), Sebastien (m. Marie Eugenie Turpin), Joachim (m. Marie Charlotte Charles Choret), Joseph (Marie Josephe Meloche), Louis Basile ( who died at 13 months), Pascal Amable (who lived 2 days) and Basile (m. Marie Rouleau).

She died on December 6, 1788, and was buried in Pointe-Claire, on December 8, 1788. Her husband Jean died September 27, 1771, and was buried one day later at St. Genevieve (Pierrefonds). She did not re-marry.
