Person talk:Claude Benoit (6)

Date of birth [20 January 2013]

I deleted the date of birth as it was listed as 1704, had no reference, and disagreed with other items with references. Namely, the 1714 census lists Claude as having a wife and two children - not likely to happen at by the age of 10.--Sbennett1986 12:10, 1 August 2012 (EDT)

Sbennett1986 - awesome!!!! Thanks for fixing that. :)--Aberksan 20:15, 1 August 2012 (EDT)

No problem. I have a copy of the "History, Notes and Genealogy of the Acadian Family Benoit" by Louis Benoit, and I am planning on updating all the info onto this site once I find the time.--Sbennett1986 11:38, 2 August 2012 (EDT)

Finally traced my family tree back far enough to make the link to Claude Benoit and thus back to Martin dit labriere. I deleted this note as it applied to a different Claude Benoit (son of Clement, not son of Jean):

"The second son of Martin Benoist and Marie Chaussegros, Clément married 1704 Anne Babin, widow of Abraham Doiron. He died before the Deportation. Clément’s son Claude married 1706 to Marie Comeau and was deported with his family to Massachusetts, where his children wre taken and placed in the home of a Mr. Duncan Campbell. When Claude and his wife moved near the Campbells to be near their children, Campbell promptly scattered the children to other families in Massachusetts. After reaching adulthood, most of Claude’s children married and eventually were able to leave Massachusetts for refuge in Québec. Another of Clément’s children, Catherine, was deported to Maryland where she and her husband died. At least one child of Clément’s son, Alexis married Helene Comeau, made it to Louisiana from Massachusetts. Anne Benoit married Amand Broussard, son of the Acadian patriot, Joseph dit Beausoleil Broussard, on May 24, 1775, at St. Martinville.
