Biography

Claude Landry was born about 1690 in Port Royal, Acadie, Nouvelle-France, son of Claude Landry (abt. 1663–1740) and Marguerite Thériot (abt. 1667– ).^[1]

In 1693, at Port Royal, Claude, aged 3, was living with his parents, Claude LANDRY, aged 33, and Marguerite TERIOT [sic], aged 26, and his three sisters: Madeleine, aged 8, Marie, aged 6, and Marguerite, aged 1. He was also living with the head of the household, his grandmother, Perrine BOURG, aged 67, widow of Rene LANDRY. The family owned 1 gun and was living on 32 arpents of cultivable land with 15 cattle, 15 sheep, and 6 [sic] pigs.^[2]

Claude (20) married Marie Babineau (18) (born about 1692 in Acadie; daughter of Jean Babineau and Marguerite Boudrot) on 23 Apr 1711 in Annapolis Royal, Acadie.^[3][4]

Claude, Marie and their children Brigitte, François, Marguerite (born 1728) and Jean were among the Acadians who escaped the 1755 Deportation by seizing, with other passengers, the boat Pembroke, which was supposed to transport them from Annapolis Royal to exile in North Carolina.^[6]

"8 déc 1755: Claude Landry, son épouse Marie Babineau et trois ou quatre de leurs enfants sont fort probablement parmi les gens qui partent de Port-Royal à bord du senau Pembroke, destinés à l'exil en Caroline du Nord. Les Acadiens sur ce navire s'en sont emparés et l'ont dirigé à la rivière St-Jean. Par la suite, ils ont monté la rivière jusqu'à Ste-Anne-du-Pays-Bas, où ils ont hiverné. Claude Landry et sa famille se sont ensuite réfugiés à la ville de Québec (Delaney, loc. cit.). Claude, son épouse et leur fille Brigitte sont tous trois décédés durant l'épidémie de la petite vérole qui sévissait à Québec entre novembre 1757 et février 1758."

"Dec. 8, 1755: Claude Landry, his wife Marie Babineau, and three or four of their children are most likely among those leaving Port-Royal aboard the senau Pembroke, destined for exile in North Carolina. The Acadians on this ship seized it and steered it to the St. John River. They then sailed upriver to Ste-Anne-du-Pays-Bas, where they wintered. Claude Landry and his family then fled to Quebec City (Delaney, loc. cit.). Claude, his wife and their daughter Brigitte all died during the smallpox epidemic that raged in Quebec City between November 1757 and February 1758."

Claude died on 11 Jan 1758 in Québec, Canada, Nouvelle-France, aged about 67.^[8][9] He died during the smallpox epidemic in that city during which many Acadians died. « Between 1757 and 1758, a smallpox epidemic killed 300 exiles in the city of Quebec alone. ‘Smallpox keeps on doing great ravages among the Acadians’ a French officer stationed at Quebec noted in December 1757. ‘ In recent days, fifteen and twenty are buried at a time.’ »^[10]
