Biography

Madeleine was born around 1714, likely in Beaubassin since she was listed in the 1714 census of Beaubassin. She was the daughter of Pierre Carré and Angélique Chiasson.^[1]

Madeleine was married twice.

Her first marriage was to Barthélémy Martin around 1731. ^[1]

The young couple was recorded on the 1734 census at Rivière-du-Nord-Est, Isle-Saint-Jean (present-day Prince Edward Island) with two boys age 2 and 1. They owned 1 heifer. ^[2] Barthelemy's parents were listed before them, and a Joseph Martin, age 40 was listed alone on the neighbouring lot.

Barthelemy and Madeleine were on the 1752 La Roque census at Rivière-du-Nord-Est, with 6 sons and 4 daughters. ^[3]

Pierre Paul Martin, aged 20 years.

Charles Michel, aged 18 years.

François, aged 16 years.

Jacques Christophe, aged 14 years.

Joseph, aged 12 years.

Jean Foelix, aged one year.

Marie Joseph Martin, aged 13 years.

Euphrosinne, aged 9 years.

Marie Joseph, aged 7 years.

Jeanne, aged 3 years.

The family was likely deported to France, possibly in 1758 when thousands of Acadians from Isle Saint-Jean were expelled from the Island.

Madeleine was listed on a census in Cherbourg, France, in 1761. ^[4] Barthelemy does not appear on the list of Acadian refugees in Cherbourg. Stephen White believes that he died before that census. ^[1]

Madeleine and François Landry, son of Charles Landry and Catherine Broussard, widower of Marie Babin, were married on 14 June 1763 in the Très-Sainte-Trinité parish of Cherbourg. ^[5]

Madeleine, age 60, and François age 61, were listed on a 1772 census in Cherbourg. ^[6]
