Person:Rene Landry (3)

"Les Landry en Acadie remontent à deux souches. Ironiquement, ces deux ancêtres ne semblent pas avoir été parents même s'ils portaient le même prénom, René. C'est René le jeune, né vers 1634, qui, par son mariage vers 1659 avec Marie Bernard, est devenu le progéniteur des Landry des provinces Maritimes."^[5]

The elder René Landry is Person:Rene Landry (1).

!BIRTH-MARRIAGE-CHILDREN: Bona Arsenault, HISTOIRE ET GENEALOGIE DES ACADIENS; 1625-1810; Ottawa, Editions Lemeac, 1978, 6 vols.; pp. 623-624 (Port Royal); own copy. René LANDRY, born in 1634, "came from France with his wife" (footnote reference: Father Archange Godbout in his manuscript DICTIONNAIRE DES ACADIENS, preserved at the Quebec Archives, p. 423. Gaudet adds that the mother of Rene' was Marie SALE'. But, on the 1671 census, a Marie SALE' is mentioned as being "widow of the deceased Jean-Claude." Moreover, Placide Godbout indicates that the mother of his wife, Marie BERNARD, is Andre'e GUION. His father could not have been Andre' BERNARD, one of Latour's men, spared by D'Aulnay on the taking of Fort Jemseg, on St. Jean river in 1745, who had married Andre'e GUION?

  Another footnote on p. 623 adds that Rene' LANDRY was the second of the LANDRY name to leave descendants in Acadia. His name does not appear in the 1671 census, where only the other Rene' LANDRY is listed, called "aine'" (elder) which supposes the presence at this time in Acadia of another Rene'. The younger Rene' was enscribed for the first time on the census of 1678.
