In the decade of the mid-1750's through 1763, the English forced many of the children and grandchildren of Pierre Guedry dit Labine and Marguerite Brasseau to leave their Acadian homes aboard overcrowded ships and resettle in poverty at uninviting ports along the Atlantic seaboard of America and in France.
Pierre Guedry dit Labine, son of Claude Guedry and Marguerite Petitpas, married Marguerite Brasseau, daughter of Pierre Brasseau and Gabrielle Forest dite Michel about 1720 at Port-Royal, Acadia. Both Pierre and Marguerite died just before the tragic deportations began in the summer of 1755. Pierre, born about 1698, died before 1752 - possibly on 30 August 1751 at Port Toulouse, Ile Royale (today St. Peter's, Cape Breton Island). 1 , 2 , 3 His wife Marguerite Brasseau, born about 1702, passed away before 1749. 1 , 3
Their eldest child, Marie-Josephe Guedry, born in 1722, in Acadia, married Charles-Benjamin Mius d’Entremont dit d’Azit de Pobomcoup about 1749 in Acadia. Amid growing pressure from the English, the young couple left their Acadian home in August 1751 and immigrated to Pointe a la Jeunesse on Bras d’Or Lake in Ile Royale (today Grand Narrows, Cape Breton Island). There on the 27th of March 1752 they were living with their two daughters Marie-Josephe (age 2) and Anastasie (age 1). Also living with them was Marguerite Pelagie Brau (age 6) - probably a young orphan that they adopted. They owned only an ox. The land at Pointe al la Jeunesse was very rocky and unsuitable for cultivation. By the summer of 1753 Charles-Benjamin and Marie-Josephe had moved and were residing at Bras du Sud on the Baie des Bras Espagnols, Isle Royale (today near Sydney, Cape Breton Island) with their children Marie-Josephe, Anastasie and Jean-Baptiste and the young orphan Marguerite Pelagie Brau. Here they had an ox, one pig, one sow and a garden of twelve fathoms (about 76 feet). 5
On 23 January 1759 Marie-Josephe Guedry disembarked at St. Malo, France from one of the “Five Ships” 6 after a tragic voyage across the Atlantic Ocean. During the trip she lost her husband Charles-Benjamin Mius d'Entremont, her three daughters Marie-Josephe, Anastasie and Veronique and her two sons Jean-Baptiste and Firmin - all having died at sea. 7 , 8 From 1759 through 1762 Marie-Joseph Guedry resided alone at Chateauneuf and nearby Plouer in France. 7 , 8 On 8 February 1763 she married Claude LeBlanc, widower of Marie-Josephe Longuespee, at St. Servan, France.
Claude, his first wife Marie-Josephe Longuespee and their two children, Helene and Jean, had disembarked from the ship “Le Tamerian” at St. Malo, France on 16 January 1759 - just a week before Marie-Joseph Guedry had arrived at the same port. After their marriage Claude LeBlanc and Marie-Josephe Guedry with Charles’ four children lived at St. Meloir, France until 1764 and St. Servan during 1764 and 1765. They moved to Bordicado, Belle-Isle-en-Mer, France in 1765.
On 31 August 1767 Marie-Josephe Guedry died at Morbihan, Belle-Isle-en-Mer at 45 years of age. On 21 June 1768 at St. Servan Claude LeBlanc married a third time to Dorothee Richard, widow of Alexis Commaux and daughter of Francois Richard and Marie Martin. Claude LeBlanc, his wife Dorothee Richard and her mother-in-law Claire Landry departed Nantes, France on 12 May 1785 on the ship “Le Bergere”. After a journey of three months they arrived in New Orleans, Louisiana on 15 August 1785.
Pierre Guedry , born the 23rd of August 1723 at Port Royal, Acadia, married Agnes Triel dit LaPerriere (born in 1725), daughter of Pierre Triel dit LaPerriere and Catherine Bourg, about 1744 in Acadia. 9
In August 1751 Pierre, Agnes and their children Marie (age 6), Simon (age 4) and Marguerite (age 2) moved to Ile a Descout, Ile Madame (today D’Escousse, Ile Madame) at the southern edge of Ile Royale. With them was their niece Philippe Turpin (age 9). In late February 1752 Pierre and Agnes were still living at Ile a Descout, Ile Madame with their four children Marie, Simon, Marguerite and Charles (age 7 months) along with their niece Philippe Turpin and Agnes’ parents Pierre Triel and Catherine Bourg. They had been granted rations for one year and owned an ox and two cows. 10 After 1752 Pierre Guedry and Agnes Triel disappear from the record.
Jean Baptiste Augustin Guedry dit Labine dit Labrador , born in 1725 at Merligueche, Acadia (today Lunenburg, Nova Scotia), married first Claire Helene Benoit in 1747. 11 , 12 Claire died about 1755 - either just before or while the family was being deported from their homeland. 12
While living at Merligueche in the mid-1750’s Jean-Baptiste assisted an Englishman being threatened by the Indians who planned to attack his boat. For warning this Englishman the Indians attacked Jean-Baptiste - shooting him with buckshot such that about thirty pellets went through his topcoat and three lodged in his back.
Furthermore, they threatened to kill him at the first opportunity. Jean-Baptiste, therefore, left Merligueche with his family and moved to Pisiguit, Acadia (today Windsor, Nova Scotia). 13 , 14 On 5 September 1755 Captain Murray captured 184 Acadians at Pisiguit. Very likely one of these Acadian prisoners was Jean-Baptiste Augustin Guedry. On 27 October 1755 the English transports “Seaflower”, “Three Friends”, “Dolphin”, “Ranger” and “Neptune” departed Pisiguit with their cargo of helpless Acadians for ports in the American colonies. Jean-Baptiste Guedry, his daughter Anne Marie, his son Mathurin and probably his wife Claire Helene Benoit were crowded aboard one of these ships. Shortly after leaving the Minas Basin the transports encountered a very fierce gale causing the ships to separate and fight the high seas and strong winds on their own. In early November 1755 all five ships entered the harbor of Boston - some discharging their cargo here and others seeking repairs to continue their voyage further down the Atlantic seaboard.
Officials at Boston, noticing the overcrowded conditions and inadequate food and water supplies, removed some Acadians from the ships to relieve these poor conditions. Jean-Baptiste and his family were brought ashore at Boston. After a brief stay in some old huts in Boston to recuperate, the family was sent to Wilmington, MA where they lived until 1760. It is quite likely that Claire Helene Benoit died from the ravaging disease that attacked the Acadians during the voyage.
Shortly after arriving in Massachusetts, Jean-Baptiste remarried to Marie-Marguerite Picot, daughter of Michel Picot and Anne Blain. Marguerite suffered through the same horrifying voyage from Pisiguit that Jean-Baptiste had endured. Jean-Baptiste and Marguerite had four sons and two daughters while living in exile in Massachusetts. After living in squalid conditions at Wilmington, MA from 1755 until 1760, Jean-Baptiste was granted permission to move his destitute family to Woburn, MA.
Here they lived until the Massachusetts government allowed them to emigrate to Montreal, Canada in 1766. 15 Throughout his stay in Massachusetts Jean-Baptiste attempted to improve the squalid living conditions of his growing family. He wrote many petitions to the government describing his wretched living conditions and requesting improvement. Except for securing permission to move to Woburn, he was unsuccessful in his attempts. He also took every opportunity to depart Massachusetts for promising settlements elsewhere including France, Santo Domingo and finally Quebec.
In October, 1766 Jean-Baptiste, Marguerite and their children along with approximately 80 other Acadians, arrived in Montreal, Canada. After spending a tough winter in a Montreal warehouse, Jean-Baptiste and his family moved to nearby St. Alexis where they began life anew and prospered. 15
Throughout his deportation in Massachusetts, Jean- Baptiste Guedry referred to himself by several names including John Labardor, John Labrador, Jean Guidry, Jean Gaidry, Jean Guidri, Jean Guidrit and Guedrit. Within a few years after arriving at St. Alexis the children and grandchildren of Jean-Baptiste Guedry began referring to themselves as Guildry and Labine (the ‘dit’ name of their ancestor Pierre Guedry dit Labine). The surnames of many today are still Guildry and Labine as well as the variations LaBine and LaBean (primarily in Michigan). All of Jean-Baptiste Guedry’s children remained in Canada except for Olivier Guedry (born 1794 at Woburn, MA), who journeyed to Louisiana where he married Marie Felicite Aucoin on 8 January 1793 and began his family. 16 , 17

Charles Guedry , born on 10 February 1726 at Port Royal, Acadia, married first Adelaide Madeleine Hebert, widow of Jean Braud and daughter of Jean Hebert and Marie-Marguerite Landry, about 1751. 18 Charles Guedry, Adelaide Madeleine Hebert and Charles’ step-daughter Marie-Madeleine Braud fled their Acadian homeland in August 1751, resettling at Pointe a la Jeunesse, Ile Royale. Here they were in March 1752 with their daughter Marie Victoire (8 days old) and Marie Madeleine Braud (age 6).
Also living in their home were four of Charles Guedry’s siblings - Joseph Guedry (age 20), Jean Femilien Guedry (age 17), Augustin Guedry (age 12) and Agnes Guedry (age 10). They had one ox and one pig. 19
On 9 March 1759 Charles Guedry, his wife Madeleine Hebert, his step-daughter Marie Madeleine Braud and their children Marguerite, Antoine and Anne Laurence arrived at St. Malo, France on the ship “du Supply” from Ile Royale. During 1759 and 1760 Charles Guedry, Madeleine Hebert and their children resided at Bonnaban, France. On 23 April 1760 Madeleine Hebert died at Bonnaban - leaving Charles to care for his step-daughter and three children. Shortly after his wife’s death, Charles remarried on 13 January 1761 at St. Suliac, France to Agnes Bourg, daughter of Joseph Bourg and Francoise Dugas. They soon moved with their children to LaGouesniere, France and remained there from 1760 to 1763. During 1763-1775 the family lived at St. Servan, France. Charles and Agnes had five children: Pierre-Jean (born 18 February 1762), Joseph Hipolite (born 21 March 1766), Jean-Pierre (born 28 January 1768), Jacques-Servais (born 7 March 1770) and Theodore-Felix (born 27 November 1773).
On 15 November 1775 Charles Guedry, Agnes Bourg and their children Marguerite, Anne Laurence, Pierre, Joseph, Jean, Jacques and Theodore left from Chatellerault, France in the Second Convey for Nantes, France. Charles was a carpenter and sawer at this time while Agnes Bourg sewed and knitted. 21 While in Nantes, Charles and his family lived at Saint-Similien, Hauts Paves near Saint-Donatien at Coudray. 22 Their son Theodore-Felix died on 22 January 1776 - shortly after the family reached Nantes. 23 , 24 With the Spanish government’s agreement to pay the costs of transporting the Acadians from France to Louisiana, Charles Guedry along with his daughter Anne Laurence (age 26) and sons Joseph (age 18), Jean (age 17) and Jacques (age 15) departed Nantes, France on 11 June 1785 on the ship “Le Beaumont” and disembarked in New Orleans, LA on 19 August 1785. 25 , 26 , 27 , 28 , 29
After arriving in Louisiana, Charles’ children settled at various locations along the Mississippi River. Joseph Hipolite Guedry and Jean-Pierre Guedry made their homes in East Baton Rouge Parish, LA while Jacques-Servais Guedry lived in Ascension Parish, Louisiana. Anne Laurence Guedry and her husband Jean Baptiste Doiron lived briefly in East Baton Rouge Parish, LA and then settled in Pointe Coupee Parish, LA.
Three other children of Charles Guedry also came to Louisiana. Pierre-Jean Guedry married Louise-Julienne Blandin on 11 May 1784 at Nantes, France. 30 Shortly afterwards, on 11 June 1785 he and his new bride boarded the “Le Beaumont” at Nantes and arrived in New Orleans on 19 August 1785. 25 , 26 , 27 , 28 , 29 Pierre and Louise settled in Pointe Coupee Parish, LA.
Charles’ eldest child Marguerite Victoire Guedry married Jean-Charles Boudrot, widower of Agnes Trahan and son of Francois Boudrot and Angelique Doiron, on 22 August 1780 in Nantes. 31
On 20 June 1785 they departed from Nantes on the “St. Remi” with Henriette Boudrot (Marguerite Victoire’s stepdaughter) and their three children Marguerite-Reine (age 4), Pierre-David (age 2) and Felix-Marie (a nursing infant). 32 , 33 , 34 , 35 After arriving in New Orleans on 9 September 1785, Jean-Charles Boudrot, his wife Marguerite Victoire Guedry and their children settled in Ascension Parish, LA. Jean-Charles Boudrot died between 1790 and 1793. Marguerite Victoire Guedry then married Gregoire Chico, son of Francois Chico and Cecilia de Santos Fernandez, at Donaldsonville, LA on 18 February 1793. Shortly afterwards the family moved to Assumption Parish, LA.
Antoine Guedry, the son of Charles Guedry and Adelaide Madeleine Hebert, arrived in New Orleans, LA about 1780 - well ahead of his family and most Acadians living in France. How he reached Louisiana is not certain at this time. Could he have been a seaman on a ship plying the waters between Nantes, France and New Orleans, LA - remaining in New Orleans during one of the voyages? On 31 July 1780 he married in New Orleans Marie-Joseph Hebert, widow of Antoine Moreno and daughter of Paul Hebert and Marie Menacesou. They remained in New Orleans where Antoine Guedry died in 1809 as did his widow in 1821. 36 , 37 Charles Guedry died in New Orleans, where he lived after arriving in Louisiana, in September 1797. 38 , 39
Marguerite Guedry , born at Port Royal, Acadia on 13 October 1727, married Pierre Braud, son of Antoine Braud and Marguerite Dugas, about 1751. 40
As with her siblings, Marguerite Dugas and Pierre Braud left Acadia in August 1751 and restettled at Pointe a la Jeunesse, Ile Royale. On 27 March 1752 they were living at Pointe a la Jeunesse with their infant daughter Marie (21 days old) and with Marie Joseph Braud (age 18), the sister of Pierre. They owned one pig and four fowl. Pierre was a ploughman. 41
Although no specific records have been found confirming that Pierre Braud and Marguerite Guedry were deported to France, circumstantial evidence indicates that Marguerite Guedry, her children and possibly her husband Pierre Braud were sent to France - probably in late 1758 or early 1759 after the second fall of the Fortress of Louisbourg on 27 July 1758.
It is possible that Marguerite Guedry and her family were deported to Maryland as stated by Bona Arsenault; 42 but it appears unlikely that they were. Two records from the petition written on 7 July 1763 by the deported Acadians in Maryland to the French government requesting assistance to resettle in France are interesting. At Annapolis, Maryland were “Pierre Braux, Marguerite his wife and Marie Braux”. 43 , 44 , 45 Similarly, at Port Tobacco, Maryland were “Margueritte Braux widow, Marie Braux, Pierre Braux”. 46 , 47 , 48 Clarence T. Breaux in his extensive research on the Breaux family states that the Pierre Braux at Annapolis, Maryland in 1763 was married to Marie Marguerite Josephe LeBlanc. 49 Gregory Wood confirms that the Marguerite Braux at Port Tobacco was not married to Pierre Braud, but to Simon Braux and that this Marguerite was Marguerite Landry before marriage. 46 Thus it is unlikely that Marguerite Guedry, daughter of Pierre Guedry dit Labine and Marguerite Brasseau, was deported to Maryland.
Several interesting records on the family of Pierre Braud and Marguerite Guedry exist in France. On 7 January 1761 Marguerite Guedry, widow of Pierre Braud, married at Notre Dame Catholic Church in Rochefort, France, Claude Gabriel Chaperon, a soldier discharged from the Colonies.
Also, on 27 August 1770 Agnes Braud, daughter of the late Pierre Braud and of Marguerite Guedry, married at Notre Dame Catholic Church in Rochefort, France, Olivier LePrince, son of Joseph LePrince and Osite Melanson. She had been in Rochefort, France for 11 years and was a native of St. Pierre and St. Paul Catholic Parish at Cobequid, Acadia. Olivier LePrince was a sailor and was also from Cobequid, Acadia. Olivier had been in Rochefort, France for three years. 51
On 14 August 1780 Pierre Braud, twenty-six years old, son of the deceased Pierre Braud and of Marguerite Guedry, seaman by profession, native of Port Dauphin (today St. Ann’s, Cape Breton Island) and the Baie des Espagnols, Ile Royale (today Sydney, Cape Breton Island) and a resident for ten years of St. Martin de Chantenay, Nantes, France married at St. Martin de Chantenay Genevieve La Garenne, daughter of deceased Jean LaGarenne and of Anne Potier, twenty-seven years old and native of Ile Saint-Jean (today Prince Edward Island). Witnesseses to this marriage were Jean Guedry and Charles Guedry - both uncles of the groom. 52 Pierre Braud, therefore, was born at Port Dauphin, Ile Royale about 1754 and arrived at St. Martin de Chantenay, Nantes, France about 1770. Pierre Braud was one of the first Acadians to settle in Nantes, France - arriving long before the three convoys of 1775 from Chatellerault in which most Acadians came to Nantes. The extant records give no indication that Pierre Braud, husband of Genevieve La Garenne, ever left Nantes, France to resettle in Louisiana as did many Acadians in 1785.
The above marriage record confirms that Pierre’s parents, Pierre Braud and Marguerite Guedry, moved their small family from Pointe a la Jeunesse, Ile Royale to both Port Dauphin and Baie des Espagnols on Ile Royale between 1752 and 1755. Both of these villages were near Pointe a la Jeunesse. From the above records in France it seems very likely that Marguerite Guedry and her family were deported to France. They either disembarked at Rochefort, France or moved there shortly after arriving in France as they were in Rochefort in 1759.
Helene Guedry , born 28 September 1729 at Port Royal, Acadia, married Charles Pinet Jr., son of Charles Pinet and Marie Testard dit Paris, about 1750. 53 , 54 In mid-February 1752 Charles Pinet Jr. and Helene Guedry lived at Port Toulouse, Ile Royale (today St. Peter’s, Cape Breton Island). They had no children, no livestock nor a dwelling place. 55 Charles and Helene had one child Jean Baptiste Pinet, born about 1752. Helene Guedry apparently died about 1755 as her husband Charles Pinet Jr. married Marguerite Lavandie about 1756. 53 Charles and Marguerite had two sons Charles, born in 1757 and Louis, born in 1760. 53 Charles Pinet Jr. resettled his family at Miquelon sometime prior to September 1767 for on 6 September 1767 his three sons drowned in a pond at Miquelon. 53 No further information on this family beyond 1767 is known.
Joseph Guedry , born in 1732 in Acadia, 19 , 56 left his homeland as a young man of 19 years in August 1751 and moved to Pointe a la Jeunesse, Ile Royale with his brother Charles and sister-in-law Madeleine Hebert. On 27 March 1752 Joseph Guedry was living with Charles Guedry and Madeleine Hebert at Pointe a la Jeunesse along with Madeleine Hebert’s daughter by her first marriage Marie Madeleine Braud (age 6), Charles and Madeleine’s daughter Marie Victoire (8 days old) and the siblings of Charles and Joseph - Jean Femilien (age 17), Augustin (age 12) and Agnes (age 10). 19 No further information on Joseph Guedry is known.
Jean Femilien Guedry , born in 1735 in Acadia, 19 , 56 moved with his brother Charles and sister-in-law Madeleine Hebert to Pointe-a-la-Jeunesse, Ile Royale in August, 1751. On 27 March 1752, Jean Femilien Guedry is residing at Pointe a la Jeunese with his brother and sister-in-law. Also living in the household are Charles and Madeleine’s 8-day old daughter Marie Victoire Guedry, Jean’s three siblings Joseph, Augustin and Agnes as well as Madeleine Hebert’s daughter by her first marriage Marie Madeleine Braud.19 Jean Femilien was deported to France probably in late 1758 or in 1759 after the second fall of the Fortress of Louisbourg on 27 July 1758. On 14 August 1780 he was a witness to his nephew’s (Pierre Braud) marriage to Genevieve La Garenne in St. Martin de Chantenay, Nantes, France. 52 No further information on Jean Femilien Guedry is known.
Augustin Guedry , born in 1740 in Acadia, 19 , 57 was unique in that he was the only known Guedry never deported from the Acadian mainland and left Guedry descendents in Acadia. Like several of his siblings, Augustin left Acadia for Pointe a la Jeunese, Ile Royale in August 1751 and was there on 27 March 1752 living with his brother and sister-in-law Charles Guedry and Madeleine Hebert. In the same household were Charles and Madeleine’s 8-day old daughter Marie Victoire Guedry, Augustin’s three siblings Joseph, Augustin and Agnes as well as Madeleine Hebert’s daughter by her first marriage - Marie Madeleine Braud. 19 Sometime before 1755 Augustin Guedry returned to Acadia from Ile Royale although the exact time is not known. Perhaps he returned to Merligueche where his uncle Paul Guedry (Old Labrador) lived or maybe he went to Pisiguit or Cobequid where his siblings and cousins once lived. Family legend says that he was captured by the English during the deportation, but escaped and hid with the Micmac Indians from the mid-1750’s until after the Treaty of Paris in 1763. 58 , 59 , 60
In 1764 Augustin emerged from the woods and purchased a farm at Hobb’s Hill near Gilbert’s Cove. 58 , 59 , 60 This property is just west of the St. Croix Church at Gilbert’s Cove on Highway 1 with lovely St. Mary’s Bay visible from the porch. Here in 1767 Augustin met and married Marie-Francoise Jeanson, daughter of Guillaume Jeanson dit Billy and Marie Aucoin. 58 , 60 Due to the lack of a priest at this time, Augustin and Marie married in a civil ceremony in 1767 among witnesses. 57 , 58 , 61 Later on 8 May 1769, when a priest from Pisiguit, Acadia (today Windsor, Nova Scotia) came to St. Mary’s Bay, they consecrated their marriage in a religious ceremony. 58 , 62 At Gilbert’s Cove Augustin and Marie had six children: Hermat-Pierre in 1767, Joseph Felix in 1770, Augustin in 1771, Anne in 1773, Philippe in 1783 and Romain in1784. 58
In 1787 Augustin and his family embarked by boat to resettle farther south along St. Mary’s Bay. Legend has it that the English began settling closer and closer to Hobb’s Hill and Augustin had had about all he could take of the English so he decided to move away from them. He and his growing family landed at Bear Cove just north of soon-to-be Cheticamp (today St. Alphonse, Nova Scotia). He purchased land just inland from Bear Cove along present-day Highway 1. Here Augustin built a modest home and founded the town of Cheticamp. 58 , 59 , 60 Here also he and Marie had their last two children - Frederic and Jean, both born in 1790. 58 Two of the children, Hermat- Pierre and Philippe, established families that remain today along St. Mary’s Bay and in New England. Over the years along St. Mary’s Bay the Guedry name underwent many changes. Among the more common variations are Jeddry, Jedrey, Geddry, Gedry, Guidrey, Guiddry and Guidry. Augustin Guedry died sometime between 1818 and 1822 at Cheticamp, Nova Scotia. 58 , 63 Marie Jeanson, born in 1744 at Port Royal, Acadia, died at Meteghan, Nova Scotia in 1826. 58 , 62 Today many folks in the St. Mary’s Bay region and in New England descend from Augustin Guedry and Marie Jeanson.
