Biography

Jean-Baptiste Hebert was born about 1730 in Acadie, son of Jean-Baptiste (Hebert) Hébert and Elisabeth Granger. [1]

On 5 September 1755, his father Jean-Baptiste was imprisoned along with hundreds of other Acadian men at the St. Charles des Mines church in Grand-Pré. On a list of prisoners, he was said to live in the village des Hébert with 1 son and 2 daughters (spouses were not included on the list), and owned 2 bullocks, 8 cows, 18 young cattle, 57 sheep, 26 hogs, and 2 horses. His property and livestock became forfeit to the crown, and his family was required to prepare for deportation within 30 days. [2][1]

In December 1755 Jean-Baptiste, his parents and his siblings Marie and an unnamed girl, were deported to Massachusetts. They were recorded on a census in Worcester, Massachusetts in 1760 and again in Massachusetts in 1763. [1][3]

Jean-Baptiste married Marie Rose LeBlanc on 24 Aug 1762 in Boston, Massachusetts. Their marriage was possibly revalidated in 1767 or 1769 in the Province of Québec. (See Research Notes)

Their children were:
  1. Honoré Hébert (~1763 - 1832)
  2. Françoise Hébert 1768-1791
  3. Marie-Rose Hebert (1770 - 1846).

After the end of the Seven Years' War in 1763, the Acadians detained in the Anglo-American colonies were finally free to leave. On 1 March 1765, James Murray, Governor of the Province of Quebec, issued a proclamation offering free land to new immigrants. Between 1765 and 1775, 1306 Acadians deported to New England immigrated to Quebec. [4] Jean-Baptiste was mentioned in lists of Acadians in Massachusetts on 14 August 1763, 8 February 1766 and 2 June 1766, who desired to emigrate to the Province of Québec. [4]

In June 1767 Jean-Baptiste and Marie-Rose, with their 2-year-old son Honoré, left Boston aboard a schooner with other exiled Acadians and disembarked at the port of Québec on 23 July 1767. [4]
