Marie Dupuis was born around 1679 to parents Michel Dupuis and Marie Gautrot. In 1686, at Port Royal, Marie, aged seven, was living with her parents, Michel Dupuis, aged 57, and Marie Gautrot, aged 49, and her three brothers, Martin, aged 21, Pierre, aged 17, and Jean, aged 10. They were living on five arpents of cultivable land with 6 cattle and 2 sheep.[1]
The 1693 census dates her to 1682 if she were age eleven.[2] But the census shows her at age 20 in 1698.[3] Who is reporting her age, as she became only 18 in 1700.[4] This was the last census in which her family was found.
On January 12, 1706, she married at Port Royal Acadia (Annapolis Royal, Nova Scotia) Jean-François Flan, a son of Pierre Flan (bourgeois from Paris) and Catherine Henry.[5]
After Marguerite was born in mid-June 1714, it's likely that Jean Francois was part of a group that went to view land on Ile Royale in late June, 1714 (his first name wasn't given,[6] but he was the only Flan in Acadie at that time). If they moved there even for a short time, it was not known. But they did move somewhere between 1714 and 1718, when their last child was baptized in St. Charles aux Mines, and they were more specifically noted as living in Riviere de Canards in 1732.[7]
She was not noted as deceased on either Marie Josephe's or Anne's marriages, the latter being in 1732.[8]
