Biography

Jean Baptiste Guedry, son of Augustin Guédry and Jeanne Hebert, was born c.1728 in Cobequid, Acadie, Nouvelle-France.^{[citation needed]}

He married Anne Madeleine Agnes Dupuis c.1750 in Acadia, where their first two children were born.^[1]

Known children of the marriage:

1. Firmin Guedry (1753)
2. Madeleine Guedry (1754)
3. Jean Baptiste Guedry (1762)
4. Monique Guedry (1763)^[2]
5. Elisabeth Guedry (1765)

He was deported with his family in 1755 to British colonial Port Tobacco, Maryland, where they were detained until freed by the Treaty of Paris in 1763. By then his third and fourth children were born.^[3] A fifth (and last) child was born before the family reached Louisiana.^[4]

Jean Baptiste died en route or very shortly before or after his family migrated with other freed Acadians to Louisiana, before his family was counted without him in Louisiana on 7 February 1768.^[5][6]

Research Notes

Both of Marcel W Landry and Karen Theriot Reader have Jean Baptiste in this family and he's married to Anne Madeleine Agnes Dupuis. He died in Maryland before 1768. Reader has about 6 sources but some questions too. She includes Bona Arsenault who says "very probably" to these parents. Reader's list of children and Landry's list of children
