Biography

This profile is part of the Bourque Name Study.

Jean-Baptiste Bourg was born about 1748 in Acadie, son of Alexandre Bourg and Marie Hébert. [1]

In 1752 his parents were refugees in Memramcook where they were recorded on a census with 8 children (5 boys & 3 girls). [2][3]

The family does not appear on any censuses in Acadie after that. It is believed that they managed to escape deportation by seeking refuge on the banks of the Saint-John River in present-day New Brunswick. [2][4] From there they travelled by canoe with other Acadian exiles up the Saint-John River and various waterways until they reached their destination between Trois-Pistoles and Montmagny. Travelling with Alexandre and Marie were the following children:[4]

Alexandre
Pierre
Anne
Joseph
Jean-Baptiste
François
Sylvain
Simon
Paul

They settled at Saint-François-du-Sud, Province of Québec.

Jean Baptiste married Marie Françoise Morin on 22 October 1770 at St-François-de-la-Rivière-du-Sud. [1]

Their children were: [5]
  1. Jean Baptiste Bourg (1772 - )

  3. Geneviève Bourg, b. 26 Oct 1777, St-Joseph, Beauce,
