Biography

GENEVIEVE BABIN, veuve AMAND HEBERT is on the Wall of Names at the Acadian Memorial in St. Martinville, Louisiana, on Plaque 3 Right. Listed with her are her children: Genevieve, Marie Josephe, Charles, and Marguerite Hebert.^[1]

Anne Genevieve Hebert, daughter of Amand Hébert and Genevieve Babin, ​was born in 1747 in Grand-Pré, Acadia.^[2][3]

Exiled to Maryland during the grand dérangement in 1755, at age eight, Geneviève was listed in a report on released Acadians at Newton, Maryland at the end of the Seven Years' War, in July of 1763, with her parents and siblings.^[4]

With no home to return to, many of the released Acadians opted to migrate west to the former French colony in then-Spanish Louisiana. Geneviève arrived in Louisiana in 1767. "Genoveba IBER, 22" is listed in a report on Acadians who settled at St. Gabriel, Louisiana in 1767, with her widowed mother and siblings.^[5]

She married François Landreau (dit Andro or André), and moved to Cabanocé, (now St. James) Louisiana. She was counted in the Cabanocé census in 1769, occupying lot number 137, land not granted, left [east] bank, age 23, with husband Francois ANDRO age 21, and daughter Jeanne ANDRO age 10 months;^[6] and in the Ascension census in 1770, on the left [east] bank, age 23, with husband François ANDRÉ, age 21, who was head of family number 54, with daughter Jeanne ANDRÉ, age 1 1/2, and 6 arpents of land.^[7]

Parish records suggest more children were born to Francois Landreau and Genevieve Hebert than the various census records do:

1. Marie Jeanne Landreau bn. ~ Dec. 1767; m. Louis Boulet II
2. Zenon René Landreau bt. 14 Oct 1770^[8]
3. Marie Landreau bn. ~1769 who wed Charles Trahan on 28 Aug. 1798.^[9]
4. Marguerite Landreau (1775)^[10]

After her first husband's death she married, at age 30, Joseph François Drouin (whose name became Derouen over time in Louisiana), of St.-Michel, Montréal, Canada, widower of Charlotte CAMPO, on 29 November 1775, in L'Ascension church in now Donaldsonville, Louisiana.^[11]

Two boys and five girls were born to carry the name Derouen:

1. Joseph Marie (1776)
2. Genevieve (c.1779)
3. Jacques (1780)
4. Marie Francoise (1783)
5. Agathe Derouen (1785)
6. Marie Rosalie (1786)
7. Victoire Adelaide Helene (1788)

The family moved to the Opelousas District and were counted in the Opelousas census of 1777. Listed as age 29[sic], with husband Joseph DE ROUEN age 40, who was head of family number 73, and two children of her first marriage and one from the second; 2 slaves; 90 cattle, 100 horses, 4 hogs, 0 sheep.^[12]

They moved to Petite Anse area of the Attakapas District, now Iberia Parish, Louisiana.^[13]

Anne Genevieve Hebert was still alive as late as 1 May 1809, when her grand-daughter by her first marriage was married in St. Martinville, and she witnessed. She was about 62 years old then.^[14]
