Biography
Marie Josèphe Cyr was born about 1730. She was the daughter of Michel Cyr and Madeleine Bourgeois.
She married Jean-François Cormier, son of Pierre Cormier and Marie Cyr, on 22 May 1747 at Beaubassin. Witnessed by, M. D. Ramezay, capitaine et commandant la poste du Canada & Jean Sire.[1][2]
They were residing in Ouescaque, Beaubassin region, with 2 boys and 3 girls, when the 1752 and 1755 censuses were taken. [3] [4][5]
Displacements of the family during the Grand Dérangement:
- Some time between 1756 and 1761, they fled to Camp d'Espérance which was established at the end of the summer of 1756 on the Miramichi river to protect from famine and from the roundups of the British soldiers the approximately 1700 Acadians who went there. Many suffered greatly because of sickness and lack of food at the camp. [6]

Jean, his wife Marie and their children were exiled from Acadie and arrived in St-Pierre-et-Miquelon before 1767 since their son Joseph was baptized there in 1766.
In 1767 the Cormier family was recorded on a list of Acadians at Saint-Pierre et Miquelon.[11][12]

"A few months later, Jean-François, Marie-Josèphe, and their six unmarried children Madeleine, François, Pierre, Marie, Adelaide, and Joseph were among the 40 deportees on the schooner La Louise which sailed from St-Pierre et Miquelon to France. In 1768, they returned to St-Pierre et Miquelon where Jean-François died in 1771." [13]
After Jean passed away, Marie and some of her children settled in St Charles-du-Richelieu.
She passed away in 1784 at St-Charles-sur-Richelieu at the age of 52.[14][15]
