Marguerite Granger was born around 1668 to parents Laurent Granger and Marie Landry. She was age 3 on the 1671 Port Royal census.[1] Her parents were married in Port Royal, and all her siblings were born there as well.
In the 1678 census, where ages were calculated, it puts her born about 1667.[2]
In 1686, at Port Royal, Marguerite [recte Marie Marguerite], aged 18, was living with her parents, Laurens [sic] GRANGER, aged 46 [sic], and Marie LANDRY, aged 36, and her six siblings: Pierre, aged 16, Jacques, aged 14, Rene, aged 10, Claude, aged 8, Marie, aged 6 and Anne, aged 2. This was her last year at home. She was the oldest child with significant household responsibilities. She helped to take care of the younger children and the animals. The family owned 1 gun and was living on 3 arpents of cultivable land with 8 cattle, 6 sheep and 6 hogs.[3]
Marie (18) married Nicolas Babineau (33) (born about 1653 in France) in 1687 in Port-Royal, Acadie, Nouvelle-France. Their known children were:[4]
They were in Pentagoeuet in 1693, married with three children (her name was listed as Jeanne).[5]
Neither of them were enumerated in 1698, so their residence is not known except that it wasn't in any of the larger villages. The family moved to Port Royal in 1701, when Nicolas purchased a homestead on the Dauphin (Annapolis) River from Martin Bourg (July 18, 1701).[4]
They were there in 1703.[6]
In 1707, the family homestead was located on the north bank of the Dauphin (Annapolis) River west of the Fort (Anne).[7]
Marie and Nicolas were still living together with four of their children in 1714, at Port Royal.[8]
Marie Granger, wife of Nicolas Babinot, was buried at Port Royal on April 11, 1719. The date of death is not mentioned in the register.[9][10]
DNA. Marie Granger's mother was Marie Landry, whose mother was Perrine Bourg. The Mothers of Acadia Maternal DNA project conducts ongoing research to verify their origins. Stephen White reported that Perrine Bourg had an H14 haplogroup. Lucie Leblanc Constantino reported results here. Ongoing test results are also reported here. Descendants have consistently reported an H haplogroup, indicating European origins.
Child number 2 Bernard does not seem to be hers. He is either Rene or he should be disconnected. See notes on Bernard Babineau. Bourque-573 10:23, 8 October 2020 (UTC)
