Louis Dupuis, child of Jean and Anne Madeleine Richard was born in 1700 in Port Royal, Acadia. In the census of 1701, at Port Royal, Acadia, he was age 7 years but this is an error as he would not have been born so far before their marriage and when Anne Madeleine was age 12. [1]. There was no boy in 1703. The transcription is in error compared to the original transcript.[2]
However, there was only one boy present in 1707 and that would have been Jean Baptiste born in 1706.[3]
In Port Royal: Jean DUPUIS and his wife, 1 boy less than 14, 3 girls less than 12; 4 arpents, 15 cattle, 24 sheep, 12 hogs, 1 gun.

DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Louis by comparing test results with other carriers of his ancestors' Y-chromosome or mitochondrial DNA.
Y-chromosome DNA test-takers in his direct paternal line on WikiTree:
It is written age 7 in the transcription and also in the original record p. 4, 3rd line. However Stephen White adds [sic] after age 7 in DGFA p. 601 likely because the parents were married in November 1699. A boy born in 1694 means his mother would have given birth at age 12. He probably died before the census of 1703 in which there were only 2 girls.
HI, Gisele, now can you look at the original transcript for 1703? I think there is 1 boy listed, though I see White says only two girls in the DGFA. The numeral 1 is a bit higher than the other entries in line of the same line, but I would have thought it says 1. There clearly are only 3 boys by 1714. Thank you.
