Biography

Marie Anne was the daughter of Nicolas Julien and Francoise Gingras. She was born 30 May 1793 and baptized the same day in Saint-Augustin-de-Desmaures, in modern-day Québec. Her godfather was François Gingras; her godmother's name is illegible on the record.^[1]

On 2 August 1814, the twenty-one-year old Marie Anne married the twenty-five-year-old Nicolas Beaupré in St-Augustin. In attendance as witnesses were Marie Anne's uncles François Gingras and Etienne Gingras, and her brother Jean Baptiste Julien.^[2]

Marie Anne and Nicolas had the following children:

1. Nicolas, born 5 July 1815
2. Maxime, born 13 April 1817; died young on 16 April 1817
3. Casimire, born 26 February 1818
4. Magdeleine, born 13 September 1819; married Mathias Cantin in 1838
5. Hubert, born 26 March 1821; married Marie Louise Langevin in 1844
6. Dosithée, born ca. 1823; married Pierre Auger in 1847
7. Ignace, born 30 January 1825
8. Louis, born 19 August 1827; married Cécile Martel in 1849
9. Pierre, born 30 March 1829; died young on 21 July 1830
10. Léon, born 27 June 1830; married Elizabeth Langevin in 1854
11. Félicité, born 31 March 1832; died young on 17 October 1832
12. Pierre, born 15 February 1834; married Rose Délima Langevin in 1854
13. Hilarion, born 19 October 1835
14. Henri, born ca. 1836; married Marguerite Moisan in 1862
15. Marie Philomène, born 9 October 1837; married Louis Langevin in 1855

Nicolas and Marie Anne were relatively early settlers in the area that came to be called Saint-Raymond after the official founding of the parish in 1844. They moved to the area sometime after the birth of their final child, Marie Philomène, in October 1837, and their household appears on the 1842 Census for St-Raymond. The large family of ten had one cow and one pig, and lived on a farm that produced barley, rye, oats, and potatoes.^[3]

Nicolas passed away in 1848, and Marie Anne continued to live in St-Raymond after his death. She appears on the first page of the 1851 Census of Canada East for St-Raymond in a household with four of her children.^[4]

Marie Anne passed away 27 August 1852, at the age of fifty-nine. She was buried two days later in St-Raymond.^[5]
