Biography
Jean Baptiste was born around 1728 in Acadie. He was the son of Jean dit le Neveu Henry, and Marie Madeleine Thériot.[1]
Around 1749 in Acadie he married Suzanne Pitre, daughter of Jean Pitre and Marguerite Thériot.[2]
After the birth of Marie and Marguerite, the young couple decided to settle at Rivière-de-l'Ouest, Isle Saint-Jean (present-day Prince Edward Island) with their 3 daughters . They were listed in the 1752 La Roque census[3]
By 1758, there were 5 girls in the household: Marie, Marguerite Josèphe, Marie Madeleine, Isabelle and Osite. During the Great Upheaval, the family was deported to Europe with thousands of Acadians, in 1758.[4]
On 23 Jan 1759 Jean-Baptiste, Suzanne and only two daughters disembarked at St. Malo from one of the "Five ships." Marie, Isabelle and Osite died at sea.[5]
Marie Madeleine and her father Jean Baptiste passed away only 2 months after arriving in France.[6]
Suzanne remarried the following year to Pierre Hébert and gave birth to 8 more children.

Stephen White has given permission to post the following response to the question of Jean's parents.Jean-Baptiste-Olivier Henry was a son of Jean Henry and Marie-Madeleine Thériot. His parents were identified over thirty years ago by Father Patrice Gallant, who noticed how close "Baptiste Olivier" was in La Roque's census to Jean and Marie-Madeleine in the Rivière-du-Ouest settlement of Île St-Jean.
