Abraham Landry is on the Wall of Names at the Acadian Memorial in St. Martinville, Louisiana, on Plaque 4 Left. Listed with him are nine children: Simon, Etienne, Marie, Marguerite, Pierre, Isabelle, Joseph, Madeleine and Anne.[1]
Isabel "Elisabeth" Landry was born in Acadia c.1755 to Abraham Landry and his second wife, Marguerite Flan, just as the deportations were beginning.
Isabelle and her family and all of their Acadian neighbors were forcibly removed from their homes and scattered by the British in 1755. The Landrys were put on a ship that brought them to British Colonial Maryland. They were there for the births of Joseph in 1757, and Marie Madeleine in 1760. By the end of the decade they had moved to Spanish Colonial Louisiana.
Isabelle Landry married Acadian Francois Duhon on November 9, 1772, in the Spanish colony of Louisiana.[2]
Isabelle Landry died at the age of 29 in Donaldsonville, Louisiana, New Spain, in 1783.[6]

DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Isabelle by comparing test results with other carriers of her mitochondrial DNA.
Mitochondrial DNA test-takers in the direct maternal line:
Landry-5866 and Landry-570 appear to represent the same person because: These two profiles have same name, and both are mothers of child named Marie Julienne Duhon (also duplicated). The birth and death dates for Landry-5866 are obviously very broad estimates and the dates on Landry-570 look to be reasonably sourced.
