Marguerite Pitre was born around 1700 in Port Royal, Acadie, Nouvelle-France, daughter of Claude Pitre and Marie Anne Comeau. [1]
She was listed as Marie on the 1701 census in Port-Royal, age 1. (Parents listed as Jean and Anne) [2][1]

On 5 September 1755, Jean was imprisoned along with hundreds of other Acadian men at the St. Charles des Mines church in Grand-Pré. On a list of prisoners, he was said to live in the village des Aucoin (Rivière-aux-Canards) with 2 sons and 2 daughters (spouses were not included on the list), and owned 4 bullocks, 4 cows, 5 young cattle, 28 sheep, 18 hogs, and 3 horses. His property and livestock became forfeit to the crown, and his family was required to prepare for deportation within 30 days. [3][4]
On 27 October 1755, Jean and Marguerite and their children were deported to Virginia aboard one of the 14 ships that departed on that day. In May 1756, on the Virginia Packet carrying 289 Acadians, they were deported again, from Virginia to Bristol, England where they disembarked on 19 June 1756. [4] [5]
Jean and Marguerite died between September 1755 and the end of September 1756. [6]
