♀Catherine Comeau

Born 1671.

Catherine Comeau (born 1671) was an Acadian of Port-Royal, the daughter of the farmer Étienne Comeau and his wife Marie Lefebvre. She was the seventh great-grandmother of Floyd Amatus Delahorne (1922–2014), through her daughter Madeleine Michel (born 1712).

The 1671 census of Port-Royal lists Étienne, a farmer aged 21, with his wife, written there Marie Anne Le Febvre, also 21, and one child, a daughter of three weeks named Catherine. Bona Arsenault’s compiled abstract of the 1686 census gives her as 14, with a sister Marie aged 10 and two brothers, Alexandre and Pierre, the latter aged 3. His abstract of 1693 lists Étienne as a widower and gives Catherine, aged 21, as the wife of Jacques Michel and “fille d’Etienne Commeaux”. The census of Port-Royal for 1693 counts Catherine, aged 21, as the wife of Jacques Michel, and the baptism of their daughter Madeleine at Port-Royal in 1712 names Catherine Comeau as her mother and describes her parents as lawfully married.
