Francoise Belleisle Robichaux wrote to Paul Mascarene early in 1741 respecting her claim to some property in dispute with her relatives at Annapolis.
They had a number of children, one of whom, Marie Angelique, married Jean Baptiste d'Amour, de Chaufour, and had a daughter, Marguerite d'Amour, whose name seems very familiar to us. The parish records at l'Islet give considerable information concerning the descendants of the families d'Amours, Robichaux and Belleisle, but the space at our disposal will allow us to follow them no further. The St.
The Marquis de Vaudreuil says that in consequence of the famine prevailing on the river, many Acadian families were forced to fly to Quebec and so destitute were the wretched ones in some instances that children died at their mother's breast. The parish records of l'Islet show that Pierre Robichaux and his wife lived there in 1759.
Young Alexander le Borgne was, as already stated, a leader of the Indians in the attack on Annapolis early in 1744, which attack failed on account of the energy and bravery of Mascarene. The following letter of the Lieut.-Governor to Frances Belleisle Robichaux is of interest in thin connection. Annapolis Royal, Oct. 13, 1744.
"Ah! my child, a hundred miles; even more." "And to my uncle Rosamond's, Rosamond Robichaux, on Bayou Terrebonne?" "Fully as far, and almost the same journey." There was but one thing to be done, crush Claude out of her heart. The storm had left no wounds on Grande Pointe. Every roof was safe, even the old tobacco-shed where Bonaventure had kept school before the schoolhouse was built.
And Gaudin, and Laprade, Blouin, and Roussel, old Christofle Roussel of Beau Bassin, Duhon, Roman and Simonette Le Blanc, and Judge Landry, and Thériot, Colonel Thériot, Martin, Hébert again, Robichaux, Mouton, Mouton again, Robichaux again, Mouton oh, I've got 'em all! Castille, Beausoleil cousin of yours? Yes, he said so; good fellow, thinks you're the greatest woman alive."
A change of scene. Marguerite had treated the suggestion lightly, as something amusingly out of proportion to her trivial disorder, but took pains not to reject it. Zoséphine had received it with troubled assent, and mentioned the small sugar-farm and orangery of the kinsman Robichaux, down on Bayou Terrebonne.
She replied in the same Acadian French in which she was questioned, that there dwelt, or had dwelt, and about two weeks ago had died, "Monsieur Robichaux." The pot-hunter's paddle dipped again, his canoe shot on, and two hours later he walked with dust-covered feet into Houma.
