♂Jean Landry

Born about 1666, Port-Royal, Acadie.

Jean Landry (born about 1666) was a man of Port-Royal in Acadia. He was the seventh great-grandfather of Floyd Amatus Delahorne (1922–2014), through his son René Landry (1688–1733). He had a brother, René Landry (born 1668).

A compiled genealogy gives his parents as René Landry (1634–1693) and Marie Bernard (born 1645). He probably married Cécile Melancon (born about 1668), and their children were René, Jean-Baptiste, Joseph, Marie-Josèphe, Benjamin, Germain and François.

Notes

Sources

The marriage and the list of children come from Bona Arsenault’s compiled genealogy of the Acadians, Histoire et généalogie des Acadiens, vol. 3, p. 1263, and vol. 4, p. 1401. The compiled genealogy is the only source named for the marriage itself. The 1711 abstract of René Landry’s marriage at Grand-Pré names his parents as Jean Landry and Cécile Melancon, which supports the couple.
