She married Sylvestre Lalande on 24 Sep 1754 in Petitcoudiac.[6]
In 1755 Sylvestre and Marguerite were residing in Memramcook. No children were recorded yet on the census that year. [3] Around 1756-1757, it is uncertain but likely that they sought refuge at Camp d'Espérance on the Miramichi. [7]
She married second to Joseph Pierre Cormier, son of Pierre dit Palette Cormier and Cécile Thibodeau of Chignecto, around 1759 in Acadie. [8]
She was on a list of Acadian released prisoners at Halifax in August 1763, unnamed, with her husband and three children.[8][9] Joseph and Marguerite immigrated to Louisiana in 1765. Arrived in Louisiana in 1765 Marguerite Saulnier of Petitcoudiac, age unrecorded, with husband Joseph Cormier of Chignecto, age 25, a year-old daughter and Joseph's younger brother Michel. Marguerite was pregnant when she reached New Orleans and gave birth to twin daughters probably at Opelousas. They settled on Prairie Bellevue. [citation needed] Note that this paragraph differs from the information about children provided on the wall of names.
In Opelousas census, 1766, unnamed, she probably was the woman in the household of Joseph CORMIER. [citation needed]
She died before 25 April 1771, when her husband married Anne Michel.
Note from Karen Theriot Reader:
" I asked Stephen A. White to help solve a DNA mystery, and he was able to confirm a new lineage for the Marguerite SAULNIER who married Joseph Pierre." CORMIER (32 in the DGFA).
E-mail correspondence 14 Mar 2022 "RE: mtDNA puzzle," From Stephen A. White, Genealogist, Centre d'études acadiennes Anselme-Chiasson, Université de Moncton. - The test result you mention (X2b7) does indeed indicate that the lineage must go back to Barbe Bajolet... The key to the solution is in identifying Joseph Cormier's first wife as the widow of Sylvestre Lalande. This Marguerite Saulnier was a daughter of Étienne Saulnier and Jeanne Comeau. The maternal line than passes through Abraham Comeau and his wife Marguerite Pitre. The latter was one of Barbe Bajolet's daughter Marie Pesseley's younger daughters.
