Biography
Geneviève Vécot died young.
Geneviève was born about 1753, after the 1752 La Roque census, and before 1758. She was the daughter of Francois Vécot and Anne Marie Arseneau.
During the French and Indian War, the siege of Louisbourg Fortress in 1758 resulted in the British expelling the Acadians from Ile Saint-Jean and Ile Royale. As French subjects they were deported to France aboard the Duc Guillaume. Close to half of the passengers, 146, did not survive the horrific conditions on board and died at sea. Twenty nine died at hospital within 2 months of arrival in Saint-Malo.
The whole family was deported. Four of their children, including Geneviève, died at sea during the crossing, and her mother Anne-Marie died on the ship while in harbor in Saint-Malo. Her father François and his only surviving child François disembarked on 1 November 1758. The father died at the hospital. The fate of young François is uncertain: there are conflicting sources. [1]
