| Marie Magdeleine Thebeau is an Acadian. Join: Acadians Project Discuss: ACADIA |
Marie Magdeleine Tebaud was born in Grand-Pré on 3 July 1739. She was the daughter of Jacques-François Thebeau and Anne Melanson. She was baptized the day she was born at Saint Charles des Mines, Grand-Pré, Acadia. Her godparents were Beloni Melancon and Marguerite Leblanc.[1][2] [3]
Marie married Jacques Bonnevie (born in Annapolis Royal, Acadie, Colony of Nova Scotia; son of Jacques Bonnevie and Marguerite Lord) around 1759 in Acadie. [4][5]
Their ten children included
The family experienced many hardships and displacements during the Grand dérangement, as shown in censuses and the various locations of their children's birth places. They managed to escape the first wave of deportations in Acadie by fleeing further north into Acadie française (present-day New Brunswick). They found refuge at Camp Espérance on the Miramichi, which provided shelter to about 1400 Acadians around 1756-1757. [5] They suffered greatly because of diseases and lack of food at the camp.
By 1760, many of these Acadians had been refugees for almost five years. In order to escape the roundups by the British soldiers, they were forced to move around constantly, only able to provide temporary shelter and food for their families. The family of 6 appeared on a census in Restigouche in 1760. [6] The following year, they had fled to Nipisiguit where they were recorded with one son. [7] [5]
By 1761, many were captured by British forces, or promised to surrender the following year, and were imprisoned in Halifax, Fort Edward, or Fort Beauséjour (renamed Cumberland). Jacques and his family were either surrendered to, or were captured by British forces who wished to rid the area of "French Vermin", and imprisoned at Fort Cumberland (Beauséjour) in 1761. [8][9]
In August 1763 Jacques, his wife, and one child were prisoners at Halifax.[10]
The prisoners were released after the treaty of 1763. The British authorities permitted Acadians to remain in the Colony of Nova Scotia as long as they took an unconditional oath of allegiance to the King of England. However the majority of the prisoners rejected their offer which would have obliged them to take arms against the French, and Natives, in case of conflict. Many left the colony by their own means by leasing vessels since the British refused to pay their passage to French-controlled colonies like Saint-Pierre et Miquelon. On 15 May 1767, a census was taken showing Jacques, Madeleine and their 3 daughters Marie, Marthe and Suzanne living in Saint-Pierre et Miquelon. [11]:
In early October 1767, Acadians were expelled from Saint-Pierre-et-Miquelon on the order of Louis XV because of the overpopulation of the islands. [12] Then from January 1769 to at least 1784, they resided in Chezzetcook, Halifax County, Nova Scotia.
Marie died on 10 February 1819 in Tracadie, Antigonish, Colony of Nova Scotia. [citation needed]
