Biography

Marguerite Duval died young.

Marguerite Duval was born on 15 March 1744 in Ile Saint-Jean, Acadie, Nouvelle-France, daughter of Pierre Duval and Madeleine Hache. She was baptized in 1744.^[1] She was baptized on 4 June 1744 at Saint-Pierre-du-Nord, Ile Saint-Jean.

By 1752, Marguerite, age 7, was recorded on the La Roque census at Rivière du Nord-Est on île Saint-Jean (Prince Edward Island Canada). ^[2]

In 1758, the British captured île Saint-Jean and Acadians either fled the Island or were deported to French territory. According to the roll of the Duke William on which the Duval family was deported, the whole family died at sea during the crossing to France in 1758. ^[3]
