Biography

Grégoire Guilbault was born around 1750 in Annapolis Royal, Acadie, Colony of Nova Scotia. His parents were Alexandre Guilbeau and Marguerite Girouard. ^[1][2]

He was a passenger aboard the Pembroke. Alexandre Guilbeau and his wife Marguerite Girouard, as well as their children (Armand, Joseph, Charles, Marie-Josèphe, Ursule, Théotiste, Jean, Grégoire, Marie-Ludivine) were among the Acadians who escaped the 1755 Deportation by seizing, with other passengers, the boat Pembroke, which was supposed to transport them from Annapolis Royal to exile in North Carolina. Of the seven ships involved in this exodus, the Pembroke was unique in having only eight Englishmen in the crew. When bad weather separated the Pembroke from the other boats in the party, the Acadians on board revolted, and took control of the ship. They sailed first to Saint Mary's Bay, then on to the Saint Jean river. It was there that they were discovered by the British. Following a skirmish that forced the British to retreat, the Acadians burned the boat so it would not again fall into enemy hands. They then traveled by foot to the village of Sainte-Anne-des-Pays-Bas (Fredericton) where they spent the winter. Food and supplies were scarce. So the following summer they migrated to Quebec. It is tragic that having succeeded in escaping the Deportation, many Acadians who were on the Pembroke only reached Quebec City to die in the epidemic of "picote" or "petite variole" (smallpox). ^[3]

He married Agathe Millet on April 08, 1771.^[4][1][5][6]
