In the marriage record for the marriage of Jacques Guédry and Marie Bonvillain, Jacques Guédry is called Donato Frederic (Frederique). His parents are listed as “Juan and Maria LeBlanc of St. Peter of Micvant”. The parents of Jacques Guédry were Juan Guédry and Marie LeBlanc. Furthermore the eldest child of Jacques Guédry and Marie Bonvillain was Geneviève Guédry, who was born on 27 June 1790 in St. James Parish, LA. The marriage of Donato Frederic and Maria Bonvilain occurred on 13 July 1789 in St. James Parish, LA. The locations and times agree very well with Donato Frederic being a corruption of the spelling of Jacques Guédry. Finally we find Celeste Frederic, daughter of Santiago Frederic and Maria Bonvilin, born in St. James Parish on 24 July 1791. This Celeste Frederick is obviously Celeste Guédry, daughter of Sanitago Guédry and Marie Bonvillain.6182,6188

    ____________________

“ Jean Anselme (D3) and his wife, Marie Leblanc, were held prisoners by the English in Halifax for a number of years during the expulsion. Anselme (as Jean was called) was probably captured at Mirligueche when Captain Sylvanus Cobb removed the settlers in 1752. Anselme’s name is among a list of 374 names of Acadian prisoners at Fort Beausejour dated August 24, 1763. This list was sent to the Duc de Niverois with an appeal for help in obtaining their release from captivity. Most of these French people had moved from Acadia before the exile and were captured on the Memramcook and Peticodiac Rivers. Some were from Cocagne and Miramichi. It is possible Anselme Guidry was part of the majority of self-exiled although there is a possibility as well that he was one of the settlers rounded up at Mirligueche in 1752. While at Fort Beausejour, the English considered the French settlers to be prisoners of war and refused to allow them to leave. In 1764 Anselme and other Acadians were offered land by the English but Anselme and most of the others refused and left for the Islands of St. Pierre and Miquelon. Anselme lived for a while on Miquelon and then went on to France as had done Pierre. We find him again on June 11, 1785, when he and his wife, along with their children Jean, Jacques, and Marie Joseph, boarded the ship Beaumont bound for Louisiana. Anselme had spent some 20 years in France where he received 6 cents per day assistance from the French King and had been part of several unsuccessful attempts organized by the French Government to resettle the Acadians in various places including the effort of resettlement at Grand Lane, near Châtellerault. “4770
