Biography

Marguerite Thériot was born around 1702 in Acadia towere Jean Thériot and Jeanne Landry. She was likely born in Les Mines as the family lived there continuously from 1693 to 1707.^[1][2][3][4]

She married Jean Babin on October 14, 1721 in Grand Pré, Acadia.^[5][6]

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 of Grand LeBlanc with two daughters (spouses were not included on the list), and owned 5 bullocks, 6 cows, 8 young cattle, 33 sheep, 13 hogs, and 5 horses. His property and livestock became forfeit to the crown, and his family was required to prepare for deportation within thirty days.^[7][8]

On 27 October 1755, Jean, Marguerite and daughters Marguerite and Anne were deported aboard the Sarah and Molly (AKA Sally & Molly) from Grand-Pré to Virginia. No accepted there, the following spring, on May 1756, aboard the Bobby Goodridge, they were deported again, from Virginia to Portsmouth, England, where they arrived on 23 June 1756. From there they were sent over land to Southampton.^[8]

According to their required genealogical provenance Declarations made by the Acadians at Belle-Ile-en-Mer, France Marguerite died in Southhampton, England in August 1756. ^[9][8]
