Biography

Anne Landry, veuve Jean Broussard, is on the Wall of Names at the Acadian Memorial in St. Martinville, Louisiana, at Plaque 2 Right. On the wall with her are three children: Firmin, Jean, and Paul, all Broussards.^[1]

Anne Landry was born about 1732 in Acadie. Her parents were Abraham Landry and Marie-Isabelle Blanchard.

She first married about 1751 in Acadie Jean Baptiste Broussard. They were deported by the British in 1755 to the Colony of Maryland where some of their children were born.

1. Firmin Simon BROUSSARD ca 1751-1785
2. Madeleine BROUSSARD ca 1753-/1769
3. Jean BROUSSARD ca 1761-1777/
4. Paul BROUSSARD 1766-/1769

On 7 July 1763 a census was taken in Port Tobacco, Charles, Colony of Maryland. Jean Broussard, his wife Anne and children Firmin, Madeleine and Jean were enumerated living there as prisoners of war. ^[2][3]

Jean Baptiste died; a treaty was signed ending the war between France and England, enabling Anne and three children to depart for Louisiana. There she married Rene Landry before 14 September 1769, when Anne and Rene and their children were counted on the census of Cabanocey with that date.^[4][5]

1. Pierre Jean Baptiste LANDRY 1773-1798
2. Anne Appoline LANDRY ca 1776-1808

Rene and Anne and children were again enumerated on 1 August 1770 living in the Cabanocey area referred to as Ascension Parish.^[6][7]

On 23 April 1777, the family was still living in Ascension Parish along Bayou Lafourche.^[8]

Anne Landry had an eventful life and survived many hardships during the deportations. She gave birth to at least 7 children, marrying twice. She died on April 29, 1788 in Ascension, Louisiana, and was buried the next day at present-day Donaldsonville, Ascension Parish Church cemetery. A probate was held in Ascension on 12 May 1788.^{[9] [10]}
