The Delahorne/Curtis Family History

Comeau · ◉ direct ancestor

♀Marie-Francoise Comeau

Born about 1693.

Marie-Francoise Comeau (born about 1693) was an Acadian, the wife of Charles Thibodeau of Port-Royal and the mother of two sons who reached Louisiana in 1765. She was the sixth great-grandmother of Floyd Amatus Delahorne (1922–2014) by two separate lines of descent, both through her son Olivier Thibodeau (1732–1803).

Marriage and family

The Port-Royal parish register records the marriage of Charles Thibodeau and Marie-Francoise Comeau (written Françoise Comeau in the act) on 19 December 1715; a compiled history of the Acadians of Louisiana gives December 1715, probably at Chepoudy. A Thibodeaux genealogy published in the Attakapas Gazette in 1985 gives her birth as 1693. The compiled history names two of their sons, Olivier and Amand, both born at Chepoudy, and records that Charles was a widower when he died at Port-La-JoyeW, on Isle Saint-JeanW, in August 1756, so she died before him; the records do not give the date. In February 1765 both sons reached New Orleans from Halifax with the party of their cousin Joseph BroussardW dit Beausoleil and settled on Bayou Teche. A sketch of Olivier published in the Attakapas Gazette in 1974 names his mother as Françoise Comeau.

Lines of descent

Charles Thibodeau and Marie-Francoise Comeau reach Floyd Amatus Delahorne (1922–2014) by two separate lines of descent, both through their son Olivier Thibodeau (1732–1803). The two lines meet again in Amelia Pennison Daigle (1869–1906), whose parents Melia Thibodeaux (born about 1850) and Jean Baptiste Daigle (born about 1847) both descend from this couple. The line through Jean Baptiste Daigle is probable rather than proved: it rests on the parentage of his grandmother, Anne Doralie Thibodeau.

Notes

The compiled history and the 1985 genealogy both name her parents as Pierre Comeau l’aîné and Jeanne Bourg. The Acadian censuses of 1693 and 1698, as transcribed, show a daughter Françoise of about the right age in that household, aged 9 in 1698, but also a Françoise in the household of a younger Pierre Comeau and Jeanne Bourgeois, aged 1 in 1693 and 5 in 1698. The censuses alone do not show which of the two married Charles Thibodeau.
