Biography

Jacques was born about 1685. White doesn't give a place for his birth.^[1] At age 29, he lived with his family in 1714 in the River of Old Habitation, together with his 4 brothers and 5 sisters. His younger brother Marcel was married and had two children living nearby. This family made up half of the people living in this village.^[2]

He married Anne Hébert, daughter of Jean Hébert and Marie-Anne Doucet, no place given for marriage, ^[1]probably at Minas about 1724.^{[citation needed]}

They left the Minas Basin and settled at Petitcoudiac.^{[citation needed]}

Around 1740, in Acadie, widowed Jacques married another Anne Hébert, daughter of Jean Hébert and Jeanne Doiron. ^[1]

Also, DNA research would show that Marie Anne is the daughter of Anne Hébert married in 1740. ^[1]

   Ajouts p 815 (avril 2011) La même famille Ajouter une sixième Note de S.A. White, comme suit: vi. Jacques Saulnier a épousé vers 1724 Anne Hébert, fille de Jean Hébert et de Marie-Anne Doucet. La mention d'Agnès Daigre, petite-fille de Joseph Hébert et d'Anne-Marie Boudrot, comme cousine de Joseph Saulnier dans le recensement de Cabahannocer de 1769 nous permet d'identifier la mère de Joseph comme cette Anne Hébert. (Voir famille Jean Hébert [no 3], note de S.A.White no iii.) La pétition d'Édouard Saulnier, fils de Joseph, pour une dispense afin de pouvoir se marier à Denise Arseneau, petite-fille de Basile Babin et de Marie-Anne Saulnier (Disp Louisiane 11 janv 1799), cependant nous donne la preuve que Joseph et Marie-Anne étaient tous deux enfants de Jacques Saulnier. Toutefois, les résultats de deux tests de l'ADN mitochondrial chez les descendants de Marie-Anne Saulnier (haplotype W) prouvent que la mère de Marie-Anne ne pouvait pas être la fille de (Jean Hébert et de) Marie-Anne Doucet, parce que d'autres tests ont indiqué que l'ADN mitochondrial de celle-ci était de l'haplotype H (provenant de sa grand-mère maternelle, Perrine Bourg). Alors, il faut croire que Jacques Saulnier s'est marié à une deuxième Anne Hébert, qui est devenu la mère de Marie-Anne. Cette seconde Anne Hébert devait être la fille de (Jean à Étienne Hébert et de) Jeanne Doiron, parce que cette dernière était à l'époque la seule mère d'une famille Hébert ayant la même signature génétique, tel qu'ont démontré les résultats de deux autres tests chez les descendants de sa fille Jeanne Hébert (épouse d'Augustin Guédry) (voir S.A. White, «L'ADN mitochondrial des mères d'Acadie», CEA, dossiers généalogiques, divers).
   Google translation: i. The eldest child of Jacques Saulnier and his first wife Anne Hébert was baptized at Grand-Pré on December 25, 1725. This Jacques must have been the son of Louis Saulnier and Louise Bastineau dit Peltier, because the oldest of the children - children of these would not be born until 1711, too late to marry around 1724. In the 1707 census, Louis Saulnier had five sons. Two of these would be Pierre and Étienne who did not appear with the family in the census of 1693, so they were the two boys said to be under fourteen in 1707. The three sons said to be over fourteen in 1707 were by consequent the same three which were enumerated in 1693. He who was the consort of Anne Hébert from 1724 was therefore the same Jacques who was born around 1685. Mention of Agnès Daigre, granddaughter of Joseph Hébert and Anne-Marie Boudrot, as cousin of Joseph Saulnier in the census of Cabahannocer of 1769 allows us to identify the first wife of Jacques Saulnier as daughter of Jean Hébert and Marie-Anne Doucet (see family Jean Hébert [no 3], note by S.A. White no iii). The petition of Édouard Saulnier, son of Joseph, for a dispensation in order to be able to marry Denise Arseneau, granddaughter of Basile Babin and Marie-Anne Saulnier (Disp Louisiane 11 Jan 1799), however gives us the proof that Joseph and Marie-Anne were both children of Jacques Saulnier. However, the results of two mitochondrial DNA tests in the descendants of Marie-Anne Saulnier (haplotype W) prove that Marie-Anne's mother could not have been the daughter of (Jean Hébert and of) Marie-Anne Doucet, because further tests indicated that her mitochondrial DNA was haplotype H (from her maternal grandmother, Perrine Bourg). So, we have to believe that Jacques Saulnier married a second Anne Hébert, who became the mother of Marie-Anne. This second Anne Hébert must have been the daughter of (Jean to Étienne Hébert and of) Jeanne Doiron, because the latter was at the time the only mother of a Hébert family with the same genetic signature, as the results showed. two other tests in the descendants of his daughter Jeanne Hébert (wife of Augustin Guédry) (see S.A. White, CEA, files genealogy, miscellaneous). - Family of Louis Saulnier (1)
