Biography

Madeleine was born abt 1741, in Port-Toulouse, Île Royale, the daughter of Jean Baptiste Martel and Marie Josephe "dit Lapierre" Pouget^[1]. After the Grand Derangement, she settled in L'Ardoise, Nova Scotia Colony. She married Michel Samson,

Michel’s marriage to Madeleine was revalidated (officially blessed by a Catholic priest) in L'Ardoise by the traveling missionary, Charles-Francois Bailly on October 3, 1771. A transcription of the marriage record on Page 64 of Bailly’s register is translated as follows^[2]:

On October 3, 1771 at Lardoise harbor in Cape Breton, we have rehabilitated the marriages below, originally contracted in the absence of a missionary but in the presence of witnesses, with the permission of Mr. Maillard, grand vicar, and we have given them the nuptial blessing according to the rites of our Holy Roman and Apostolic Church, having had them renew their vows and their mutual consent of marriage. In the presence of Jean Pere, Alexandre Roch, Joseph Martel and several other witnesses: Michel Sampson, son of Michel Sampson and Anne Paris, with Magdeleine Martel, daughter of J. Bap. Martel and Marie Pouget, without any impediments.
