Biography

François Viger was born about 1662, son of François I Viger or Vigé . His mother is unknown.[1]. This was the only Viger family known in Acadie at that time.

François (34) married Marie Mius (16) (born in Pobomcoup, Cap de Sable, Acadie, Nouvelle-France), a daughter of Philippe Mius d'Azy, in 1697 in Pobomcoup, Cap de Sable. [1]

They had seven children, four were listed on the 1708 census[2].

  1. François Viger (Aug 16 1699 – Mar 1760)
  2. Marie Josèphe Viger (May 23 1703 – Dec 13 1758)
  3. Marie Agathe Viger (Feb 5 1712 – before Nov 27 1797)

Their first three of four children were baptized on May 21 and 23, 1705. They were living at Ouimakagan (present-day Robert's Island), near Pobomcoup, in 1705[3][4]. At least for Marie, her godparents were Charles Mius de Pobomcoup and Jeanne of Pobomcoup. The family was also counted at Cap-Sable, probably Pobomcoup, in 1708[2]

Their oldest daughter Marie-Josèphe married Martin, son of Jean Corporon and widower of Cécile Joseph dit LeJeune, in c1718, and remarried to Paul, son of Pierre Benoit le jeune, at Port-Lajoie, Île St.-Jean.

Viger-45 and Viger-2 appear to represent the same person because: Same name, same birth year, same spouse. No conflicting information.
