Biography

Jean Baptiste Landry was born about 1686 in Les Mines, Acadie, Nouvelle-France, son of Claude Landry (1663–1747) and Marie Catherine Thibodeau (about 1667–about 1721). Since the family lived in Les Mines in 1686 when the census was taken, and he was born after that census and still found in the same place in 1693, he is thought to have been born in Les Mines.^[1]

In 1693, at Minas, Jean Baptiste, aged 7, lived with his parents, Claude Landry, aged 30, and Caterine [recte Marie Catherine] Tibaudeau [recte Thibodeau], aged 25, and his five siblings: Jeanne, aged 9, Rene, aged 5, Claude, aged 4, Eustache, aged 3, and Genevieve, aged 1. The family owned 1 gun and lived on 9 arpents of cultivable land with 12 cattle, 16 sheep, and 6 pigs.^[2]

Jean (31) married Marguerite Comeau (20) (born about 1697 in Port-Royal, Acadie, Nouvelle-France; daughter of Jean Comeau and Catherine Babin) on 17 Oct 1718 in Saint-Charles-des-Mines, Grand-Pré, Acadie, Colony of Nova Scotia.^[3][4][1]

Their known children were:

1. Eustache Landry (1719–1780)
2. Helene Landry (1721–about 1769)
3. Euphrosine Landry (1723–about 1779)
