Biography

Agathe Bariau is on the Wall of Names at the Acadian Memorial in St. Martinville, Louisiana, Plaque 6 Right, having sailed from France to Louisiana in 1785 aboard Le Bon Papa. Listed with her is her second husband, Anselme Landry.^[1]

Agathe Barrieau, daughter of Pierre Barrieau and Véronique Girouard, was born about 1731 in Pisiguit, Acadie. She married Isidore Daigre about 1749 in Acadia.^[2]

Children of the first marriage:

1. Firmin DAIGRE b: 12 Sep 1751 in Isle St. Jean, Acadia c: 9 Jan 1752 in Port Lajoie, Isle St. Jean, Acadia d: 1758, at sea.

In 1752 Isidore and Agathe were listed with their son Firmin in the La Roque census at Rivière du Nord-Est (North side), Isle Saint-Jean.^[3]

She and Isidore Daigre and their children were caught up in le grand derangement and deported to France in 1758. Isidore and their children must have died sometime during the crossing to France because Agathe is listed alone on the census of 1759 taken at Cherbourg, France.^[4]

Agathe married Anselme Landry on 12 February 1765 in Pleudihen, Cotes d'Armor, France.^[5]

Children of the marriage:

1. Marie Olive LANDRY b: 3 Jul 1766 in La Chapelle, Cotes d'Armor, France c: 4 Jul 1766 in Pleudihen, Cotes d'Armor, France d: 1836, Thibodaux, Louisiana 1836.

3. Charlotte Blanche LANDRY b: 29 May 1771 in La Gravelle, Cotes d'Armor, France c: 29 May 1771 in Pleudihen, Cotes d'Armor, France

They are on the census taken in September of 1784 in Nantes, Loire-Atlantique, France, on a list of Acadian families who wanted to immigrate to Louisiana.^[6]

Agathe and Anselme arrived in New Orleans aboard the Spanish ship Le Bon Papa on 29 July 1785.^[7][8] Their married daughter, "Marie Olive" Landry, was also on board, and is listed with her husband, Paul Dominique Boudrot.

They settled in southwest Louisiana along Bayou Lafourche, where they lived the rest of their lives. Her date of death is unknown.
