Biography

Marguerite Josephe was born in 1737. She was the daughter of François Bourg and Marguerite Hébert. [1]

Marguerite married Alexandre Robichaud (born in Acadie; son of Alexandre Robichaud and Unknown Bourg) around 1751 in Acadie. [1]

Their children were:

  2. Francois David Robichaud (about 1754–before 1759) .
  3. Theodose Robichaud (about 1758–before 1759) .
  4. Francois Xavier Robichaud (1760–1765) .
  5. Marguerite Robichaud (1762– ) .
  6. Anne Therese Robichaud (1764–before 1776) .
  7. Marie Robichaud (1766–1769) .

In 1758, during the second wave of deportations that took place on Ile Saint-Jean and Ile-Royale, the family was deported to France. They were forced aboard one of five English ships that left in the fall of 1758, and docked at Saint-Malo on 23 January 1759. Their three children François-Xavier, François-David and Théodose died at sea during the crossing. Also traveling with them were Théodose Bourg, the daughter of deceased Jean Bourg, who also died at sea, and Joseph Bourg, Marguerite-Josèphe's brother. [2]

Marguerite died on 29 January 1778 in Nantes, Bretagne, France. Her burial took place on 30 January 1778 in Nantes. [3][1]
