Biography

Catherine Hebert was born around 1662 in Port-Royal, Acadie, Nouvelle-France. Her parents were Étienne Hébert and Marie Gaudet.^[1]

Catherine was listed in the first census of Port-Royal in 1671 at the age of 9 in her widowed mother's household,^[2] and again in 1678 at the age of 18 with her mother and her 2nd husband Dominique Gareau.^[3]

She married Philippe Pinet, before the census of 1678.^[1] Together they had 12 children.

In 1678 the young couple had settled in Port-Royal and posessed 1 cow and 4 acres of land. No children were listed yet.^[4]

The 1686 census shows that they had moved to Les Mines. Catherine HEBERT, aged 24, was living with her husband, Philippe PINET, aged 32, and their four children: Jean, aged 6, Antoine, aged 4, Noel, aged 3, and Marie, aged 1. They owned 2 guns and were living on 8 arpents of cultivable land with 12 cattle and 15 hogs.^[5]

They continued to raise their family at Les Mines.^[6][7][8][9].

Philippe passed away some time before 1710.

Catherine never remarried. She decided to settle in Port Toulouse, Île Royale (present day Cape Breton), with her children and worked as a gardener. She possibly arrived there in 1714 aboard "La Sonde", and she and her children received the King's ration for 1 year.

She was enumerated there in 1714^[10], 1717^[11], 1719^[1][12], 1724 ^[13] and 1726^[14]and was referred to as "La veuve Pinet".

Catherine died on 3 August 1727 in Louisbourg, Acadie, Nouvelle-France.^[15]
