MARTIN (MARTIN DIT BARNABE) FAMILY

Background clues for making a connection:

This lineage is of Acadian origin. In Nova Scotia/Acadie,

Robert Martin m. c. 1630, Marguerite Landry. Their son

Barnabe Martin m. c. 1666 at Port Royal, Jeanne Pelletret,

widow of Perrine Bourg, and their descendents became known

by the name of Martin dit Barnabe. See Fr. Adrien

Bergeron, _Le grand arrangement des Acadiens au Quebec_,

vol. I, "Barnabe".

Rene Martin (Barnabe Martin and Jeanne Pelletret) m. (2) c. 1694, Port Royal

Marie Meunier. b. 1679

Pierre Martin (Rene Martin and Marie Meunier) m. 4 February 1638, Port Royal, Acadie

Marie-Anne Granger (Laurent Granger and Marie Bourg)

After the dispersion, Pierre Martin and Marie-Anne Granger

settled at l'Assomption in Quebec Province. They had the

following three sons:

Pierre Martin dit Barnabe, b. c. 1739 (Pierre Martin and Marie-Anne Granger) m. 7 February 1762, Repentigny

Marie Foret/Forest, (the late Jean Foret and the late Marie-Josephte Pitre) of Acadie

Joseph Martin, b. c. 1746 (Pierre Martin and Marie-Anne Granger) m. 2 June 1767, l'Assomption

Marie-Louise Girouard (the late Pierre Girouard and Madeleine/Marie-Jeanne Forest)

Francois Martin, b. c. 1750 (Pierre Martin and Marie-Anne Granger) m. 17 January 1774, l'Assomption

Madeleine Poirier (Francois Poirier and Marie-Madeleine Arsenaud)

One of the above three sons of Pierre Martin-Barnabe and Marie-Anne Granger will be the ancestor of this family.

There is no absolute data at this moment to indicate the ancestor of the family in Grand Isle Co., Vt. However, for those interested in speeding research, it would be prudent to begin with the following marriage:

\np

David Martin (Joseph Martin and Marie-Louise Girouard) m. 5 August 1817, l'Assomption

Marie-Louise Marsan, widow of Laurent Blault (Pierre Marsan and Marie-Agathe Dalpee), her 1st marriage in 1809.

The reason that this is the most probable line is that Marie-Louise Martin-Barnabe, wife of Nicolas Douge dit Populus and mother of Antoine Populus of Grand Isle Co., Vt., was sister of this David Martin. This gives a tie-in.
