Biography

Jacques Girouard is a descendant of an Acadian

Jacques, baptized at St.-Jacques, age unrecorded, in October 1773, ^[1]married Angélique Julie, daughter of fellow Acadian Simon Broussard, at Attakapas in January 1798.^[2]

Their daughters married Broussard cousins. Jacques died probably at Côte Gelée in September 1801; he was only 28 years old. He and his wife probably had no sons, so, except for its blood, this line of the family would have died with him. ^[3]
