♀Madeleine Richard

Born about 1671, Port-Royal, Acadie.

Madeleine Richard (born about 1671) was a woman of Port-Royal, Acadie. She was the sixth great-grandmother of Floyd Amatus Delahorne (1922–2014), through her daughter Anne Babin (born 1688). Her twin sister, Anne Richard (born 1671), was Floyd’s seventh great-grandmother.

She was the daughter of Michel Richard (born 1630) and Madeleine Blanchard (born 1643). In 1671 she was five weeks old on the Port-Royal census, and the censuses of 1686 and 1693 name her again. She probably married Charles Babin (born about 1664), and the 1693 census of Les Mines calls her his wife.

Notes

Marriage

Arsenault, Bona, Histoire et généalogie des Acadiens (2nd ed.), vol. 2 p. 754, is a compiled genealogy. It gives Madeleine Richard, daughter of Michel Richard and Madeleine Blanchard, as the wife of Charles Babin of Grand-Pré, son of Antoine Babin and Marie Mercier. The same work’s vol. 3 p. 1092 entry places Charles Babin at Port-Royal and dates the marriage about 1686. The vol. 2 entry gives her birth as 1670; the 1671 census, which lists her as five weeks old, supports the date used here.
