Biography

CHARLES BABINEAU is on the Wall of Names at the Acadian Memorial in St. Martinville, Louisiana, on Plaque 1 Left. Listed with him is his second spouse, Anne Guilbeau, and two sons, Dominque and Joseph.^[1]

Anne Guilbeau was born 24 March 1739 and baptized the next day at the St. Jean-Baptiste in Annapolis Royal, Nova Scotia.^[2]

Anne and her family were among the Acadians who escaped the 1755 deportations by seizing, with other passengers, the ship Pembroke, which was supposed to transport them from Annapolis Royal to exile in North Carolina.^[3]

Apparently as a fugitive, she married Louis Charles Babineau on 5 February 1760 in Restigouche.^[4][5]

They lived in Nipisiguit, Acadia in 1761,^[6] and apparently surrendered or were captured by 1763, when they were listed at Halifax, Nova Scotia.^[7]

They were freed at the end of the war and immigrated to Spanish Louisiana. Settling in the Attakapas District, she and her husband Charles Babineau became the sole progenitors of Louisiana's Babineaux family.^[8][9] She was listed on the 1769 census of Attakapas as the unnamed wife of Charles Babino, with four children;^[10] by 30 October 1774, still in Attakapas, she had six children, and her mother lived next door.^[11] By 4 May 1777, she was widowed.^[12] She was counted on a sparsely detailed census the following year in Carencro, St. Martin, Louisiana.^[13]

She died and was buried 15 May 1813 in the St. Martin of Tours Church cemetery in St. Martinville, Louisiana.^[14]

DNA

• Maternal relationship is confirmed through Mitochondrial DNA test results on Family Tree DNA. Donna Friebel Storz, FTDNA kit # B5389, and her maternal line cousin UNK (a direct matrilineal descendant of Euphemie Degeyter), FTDNA kit #790364, have an exact HVR1 and HVR2 match, thereby confirming their direct maternal lines back to their most-recent common ancestor who is Barbe Bajolet, the 8x great grandmother of Donna Friebel Storz and 10th great grandmother of UNK. See this diagram from the Mothers of Acadia DNA Project for more information.
