The Delahorne/Curtis Family History

Richard · ◉ direct ancestor

♀Jeanne Richard

Born about 1694, Port-Royal, Acadie. Died before 1760.

Jeanne Richard (born about 1694) was an Acadian woman of Port-Royal (Annapolis Royal), in Nova Scotia, the daughter of Alexandre Richard and Elizabeth Petitpas, who married Pierre Dupuis there in January 1720. She was the seventh great-grandmother of Floyd Amatus Delahorne (1922–2014), through her son Justinien Dupuis (born 1725).

Marriage

On 6 January 1720 Jeanne married Pierre Dupuis, entered in the parish register of Port-Royal (Annapolis Royal) as “Jean Pierre Dupius”, the son of the late Pierre Dupuis and Magdelaine Landry. The same entry names her as the daughter of the late Alexandre Richard and Elizabeth Petitpas, so both fathers had died before the wedding. The priest who married them was Justinien Durand; the records do not say whether the couple’s son, born five years later, was named for him. By then Port-Royal had been under British rule for ten years, but its Acadian families still married and baptized their children in the French Catholic parish of Saint-Jean-Baptiste.

Family

Their son Justinien was born on 24 March 1725 and baptized on 20 May 1725, the son of Pierre Dupuis and Jeanne Richard. His godparents were Germain and Angélique Richard, “children of Alexandre Richard” - the name of Jeanne’s late father, so most likely her own brother and sister. The register records nine children of the couple, born between January 1721 and January 1740; the eldest, Anne, died in 1736 at about fifteen. On 3 February 1751 the register names Jeanne again as the mother of two of them, married on the same day to a brother and sister: Justinien to Anne Girouard, and Theotiste to Pierre Giroir, both children of Guillaume Giroir and Marie Bernard. The entries do not say whether she was then living.

No record of Jeanne’s birth or burial is known. She had died by 2 June 1760, when her son Cyprien’s marriage at Ristigouche names her as his late mother; where and when she died is not known, and the records do not show whether she lived to see the deportation of the Acadians in 1755.
