Biography

Anne Picot was born on 16 May 1735 in Annapolis Royal, Acadie, Colony of Nova Scotia, daughter of Michel Picot and Anne Blin/Daigre. [1] She was baptized on 15 Aug 1735. Her name in the margin of the register was written Anne Blin.

Anne married Joseph Breau, son of Joseph Breau and Isabelle Thibodeau, around 1762 in Massachusetts. Their marriage was revalidated on 12 Jul 1767 in Saint-Pierre-du-Portage (L'Assomption), Province de Québec. [2]

Their children were:

  1. Elizabeth Brault
  2. Marie Brault
  3. Joseph Brouxs
  4. Félicité Brault
  5. Marie Anne Brault
  6. Jean Baptiste Brault.

Joseph and Anne were recorded in Massachusetts on 14 August 1763 with one daughter. [3]

After the end of the Seven Years' War in 1763, the Acadians detained in the Anglo-American colonies were finally free to leave. On 1 March 1765, James Murray, Governor of the Province of Quebec, issued a proclamation offering free land to new immigrants. Between 1765 and 1775, 1306 Acadians deported to New England immigrated to Quebec. [4]

Joseph, Anne, and two daughters boarded the schooner Abigail that left Boston around 17 May 1767 and disembarked at the port of Québec on 18 June 1767. [4]

Joseph Breau, 28
Anne Picot, his wife, 32 
Élisabeth Breau, daughter, 3 
Marie Breau, daughter 2 

The first mention of the family in Québec records was when Elizabeth and Marie were baptized at L'Assomption on 6 Jul 1767. [4] They had 4 more children baptized at Laprairie: Joseph, 1767; Félicité, 1771; Marie Anne, 1773; Jean Baptiste, 1777. [5]
