The Delahorne/Curtis Family History

Hélie · ◉ direct ancestor

♀Madeleine Hélie

Born about 1626.

Madeleine Hélie (born about 1626) was a settler at Pobomcoup in Acadia, the seigneury of her husband, Philippe Mius d’Entremont, and the mother of the Mius d’Entremont family of Pubnico, Nova Scotia. She was the eighth great-grandmother of Floyd Amatus Delahorne (1922–2014) by ten separate lines of descent, through two of her children, her daughter Marie Marguerite Mius d’Entremont (born about 1650) and her son Jacques Mius d’Entremont (born about 1654).

Life

According to published accounts she came to Acadia from France with her husband, who served the governor Charles de Saint-Étienne de La Tour and received the seigneury of Pobomcoup at the head of Pubnico harbor. The census of 1671 lists her there, aged 45, as “Madellene Ellie”, with her husband, aged 62, three sons and a daughter of two, and notes that her eldest daughter, Marguerite, was married to Pierre Melanson. When the census was taken again in 1686 her husband was living at Port-Royal with two of their children and she was not listed, so she had probably died by then. The date of her death is not known, nor are her own parents and birthplace in France.

Lines of descent

Ten separate lines of descent run from her to Floyd through two of her children: nine through her daughter Marie Marguerite Mius d’Entremont (born about 1650) and one through her son Jacques Mius d’Entremont (born about 1654). Two come down the father’s side, by way of Jeffrey Delahorne, and eight down the mother’s side, by way of Ida Serrette; the nearest three are ten generations up. The lines meet again in Ida Serrette, whose parents Amelia Pennison Daigle and Pierre Anatole Serrett both descend from her, and finally in Floyd, whose parents both descend from her. One of the lines, through Judith Landry (born 1728), rests on an identification that is probable rather than proved.

Notes

Some published family trees give her noble parents in France; no record supports them.
