My Sixth Great-Grandmother
Daughter of Rene Robichot and Marguerite Martin
Husband Jean Charles Hebert
Mother of Maria (about 1774), Scholastique (1776-1828), Solange (1781), Moyse (1783), Julia (1787), Marie (1789), Ursin (1792), Valmont (1795), Marguerite (1797) Dorothé (unknown)
No child should have to spend their youth the way Magdelene Robichot did. Her childhood was lived in hunger, fear, on the run, and as a refugee. She had to sail the Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico to find a home in 1765, when she was about 10 years old. Thankfully, her parents were with her.
Magdelene’s family were Acadians living in L’Acadie, an area in Nova Scotia that was in the possession of the British. The Acadians, emigrants of France, had lived there for a hundred years and had developed it into land that was more fertile than anywhere else. They also had a good relationship with the Native Americans whom the British feared. Over those years, France and England took turns controlling the land. Between 1755 and 1764, English Brigadier-General Charles Lawrence, who became the Governor of Nova Scotia, had executed a scheme to rid Nova Scotia of all the Acadians. His “great and noble scheme” has been called the “Grand Dérangement,” the “Expulsion of Acadians,” the “Great Upheaval,” and the “Deportation of the Acadians.”
Magdelene was born between 1748 and 1755.[1]The first time Magdelene’s age is recorded is in 1769 as fourteen. She would have been born around 1755. “Antoine Borda (abt. 1720 – bef. 1783)” WikiTree … Continue reading (See discussion below about her age.) Her family lived in the Halifax area of L’Acadie (now Nova Scotia) between 1759-1764. The family may have been in Restigouche (northern New Brunswick) in 1760 with the progenitor [original ancestor] of the DeLauchessee family, Philippe de St. Julien LaChaussee, a surgeon.[2]“Acadian Census Records,” Acadian-Home.org; digital image (http://www.acadian-home.org/frames > Census Records > 1760 Census of Restigouche : viewed 29 April 2022). (My paternal grandmother’s maiden name was DeLauchessee, and she was a descendant of Philippe de St. Julien LaChaussee.) The family then moved on to Nipisiguit (now Bathurst, New Brunswick) in 1761.[3]Ronnie-Gilles LeBlanc, “Acadians in Halifax and on Georges Island, 1755-1764;” digital file Rootsweb.com, Ronnie-Gilles LeBlanc … Continue reading When Magdelene was a young girl, her father, René Robichot, was documented as a prisoner at Fort Edward in 1762 and 1763.[4]Ronnie-Gilles LeBlanc, “Acadians in Halifax and on Georges Island, 1755-1764;” digital file Rootsweb.com, Ronnie-Gilles LeBlanc … Continue reading (Fort Edward was in Windsor, Nova Scotia, formerly known as Pisiguit).[5]Fort Edward (Nova Scotia) Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fort_Edward_(Nova_Scotia), viewed 16 Feb 2020). He may have been captured and the family joined him, or the family may have gone to Fort Edward voluntarily out of desperate need of food and shelter.
Louisiana church records cite Magdelene Robichot living to age eighty-three and her husband, Jean Charles Hebert may have died at the age of ninety-three.[6]Rev. Donald J. Hebert, Southwest Louisiana Records Church and Civil Records (1974) 2:438 and 559. Living to such an age would be incredible given the hardships they faced during the early years of their lives but those ages most likely are incorrect (see Table 1 and discussions below for an explanation). Magdelene and Jean Charles were the parents of at least nine children and Louisiana greatly blessed them.
It is thought that Magdelene’s family traveled with the Broussard contingency from Halifax to St. Domingue (now the island of Haiti and Dominican Republic) before arriving in New Orleans, Louisiana, in 1765. (It is incredible to think that my ancestors were in Louisiana before there was a United States of America.) What was it like for a young girl to be on board a ship in 1764 and 1765 going from Halifax to St. Domingue? Once the ship landed in St. Domingue, the Acadians were very disappointed with the climate and harsh realities there. Did she suffer from the extreme heat and disease that turned the ship from the Caribbean island? Who did she associate with on the ship? Did she meet Jean Charles Hebert, her future husband, on board? What were her thoughts when she learned that they would not be staying in St. Domingue but would be sailing onto Louisiana? Did she just want to get off the ship and walk on land again?
Relieved as she may have been when they finally debarked from the ship in Louisiana, the Acadians were plagued with more hardship. Her father and many others died shortly after they arrived and her mother, Marguerite Martin, remarried two years later.[7]Rev. Donald J. Hebert, Southwest Louisiana Records Church and Civil Records of Settlers, (Eunice, Louisiana, Rev. Donald J. Hebert, 1974), 1:488. Citation reads “ROBICHEAUX, … Continue reading
In 1769, Magdelene was living with her mother and stepfather, Antoine Borda, at Attakapas Post (near present-day Breaux Bridge, Louisiana).[8]“Antoine Borda (abt. 1720 – bef. 1783)” WikiTree (https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Borda-24#_note-5 : viewed 2 May 2022).

Magdelene married Jean Charles Hebert 27 April 1773 and received the nuptial blessing from a priest from Pointe Coupeé, Louisiana. Witnesses were recorded as Borda (probably her stepfather), Ricard and De la Houssie.[10]Diocese of Baton Rouge Catholic Church Records 1770-1803 (Baton Rouge, Diocese of Baton Rouge, 1980), 2: 357 and 638.

But children did follow soon after.
A child by the name of Maria may have been born as early as 1774.[12]Winston DeVille et al, Marriage Contracts of the Attakapas Post 1760-1803 and 1774 Census of Attakapas Post (St. Martinville, … Continue reading Her daughter Scholastique was baptized 5 May 1776 in St. Martinville but her date of birth is unknown.[13]Rev.

At age forty-three, Jean Charles served as a fusilier (a member of a regiment with a firearm) in 1792 and was recorded in the General Census of the Militia of Attakapas, Second Company.[18]Sanders, Mary Elizabeth, “General Census of the Militia of Attakapas Militia Second Company, “Records of Attakapas District, Louisiana, 1962, p. 48.; digital … Continue reading He served with Claude Broussard who was the godfather of his daughter Scholastique.[19]Rev.

A census was taken in 1803 of the District of Vermilion and the Hebert family is recorded. Magdelene was forty-eight and her husband was fifty-two. From the description of the land and cattle, they are doing very well. They had ten arpents of land (an arpent is just under one acre). At that time, five children were living with them, Moyse, Ursin, Valmont, Marie, and Marguerite. They also enslaved three people, Rosette, François, and Pierre.[21]“Attakapas Census May 1803 District of Vermilion,” Attakapas Gazette (Louisiana, Attakapas Historical Association, 1966-1994), Volume XXII, Summer 1987, Number 2, … Continue reading
Just before the U.S. census was first taken in Louisiana, Attakapas took a census in 1809. Magdelene’s husband was described as having five enslaved people and five arpents of frontage property with an estimated value of $900.[22]Mary Elizabeth Sanders, “Census of the Attakapas, 1809,” Attakapas Gazette, vol. 10 Winter 1975 No 4: 192-195.
In the US Census of 1810, the land the family was living on was described as being in the Territory of Orleans. Only Magdelene’s husband’s name is recorded as the head of household, and he is recorded as John C. Hebert. It can be assumed that this was Jean Charles because the similarities in the name and there are other family members living nearby. At that time, there was one male between ten and fifteen listed (maybe Valmont) and one male over forty-five (Jean Charles). There was one female between ten and fifteen (either Marie or Marguerite) and one female over forty-five (Magdelene). There were seven enslaved people.[23]1810 U.S. census, Orleans Parish, Louisiana, pop. sch., p. 55, John C. Hebert household; NARA microfilm publication M252, roll 10.
A record of taxes for the Attakapas area in 1810 cites Jean Charles Hebert with five people enslaved and five arpents of frontage land and estimated value of $700.[24]Mary Elizabeth Sanders, Attakapas Tax List, (Louisiana, Attakapas Historical Association, 1966-1994), Volume XI, Summer 1976, Number 2, p.94; digital … Continue reading What happened during the year that caused him to have $200 less in estimated property value? There may have been two different people estimating the property; or perhaps the property to be valued for tax may have been different from one year to the next.
With the Louisiana Purchase in 1803, landowners in Louisiana had to prove to the new government (the United States of America) that they owned the land they occupied. Between 1811 and 1823, Madeline’s husband took steps to prove that the land they lived on was theirs. Jean Charles was able to prove that they had been in possession of and occupied the land in Attakapas for at least twelve years prior to 20 December 1803.[25]Louisiana, Office of State Lands, … Continue reading This meant they would continue to own their land which was about 169 acres.
Magdelene and Jean Charles were living in St. Martin in 1820 with no children, but they enslaved ten people. They were both listed as over the age of forty-five. The enslaved people were two boys under fourteen years old, three men between twenty-six and forty-four, three girls under fourteen, and two girls between the ages of fourteen and twenty-five. Magdelene and Jean Charles continued to live near family as the names of their sons Moyse and Valmont are recorded above and below Jean Charles’ name in the census record. The Hebert family was engaged in agriculture.[26]1820 U.S. census, St. Martin Parish, Louisiana, pop. sch., p. 171, John Chs. Hebert household; NARA microfilm publication M33, roll 31.
Louisiana redrew the parish boundaries, so in 1830 Magdelene and Jean Charles were in the same place but what was then the Parish of Lafayette. The same group of names on the page where Jean Charles is recorded in the census record are those that were in 1810 and 1820. While Magdelene was recorded as between eighty and eighty-nine years old, Jean Charles was between ninety and ninety-nine. It is possible that a granddaughter between twenty and twenty-nine had been living with them as well as has a boy and a girl under five, maybe great-grandchildren. There were eight people who were enslaved: two men between ten and twenty-three, and one man between twenty-four and thirty-five; a female under twenty and four women between ten and twenty-three years old.[27]1830 U.S. census, Lafayette Parish, Louisiana, population schedule, p. 149, Jean Charles Hebert household; National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) microfilm publication M19, roll 44; … Continue reading
Magdelene’s husband died 24 October 1830 and was buried in the church cemetery [28]Hebert, Southwest Louisiana Records, 2: 438. “HEBERT, Jean Charles m. Madeleine ROBICHAUD d. 24 Oct. 1830 at age 93 yrs. – died Oct. 23rd in morning. (Laf.Ch.: v.2, p. 103).” Magdelene died 24 July 1831.[29]Hebert, Southwest Louisiana Records, 3:559. “ROBICHAUD, Magdelaine m. d. Jean Charles HEBERT d. 24 July 1831 at age 83 yrs. (Laf. Ch.: v. 2, p. 110).” Services for both were probably at St. John the Evangelist Catholic Church in Vermilionville, which is now located at St. John’s Cathedral in Lafayette. Their daughter, my ancestor, Scholastique Hebert Guidry, had died before them in 1828.
Magdelene Robichot and Jean Charles Hebert began life with very little and experienced great hardship. Their arrival in Louisiana was a positive turnaround. They had property, many children and grandchildren and lived a long life.
The next post will focus on Magdelene’s mother, Marguerite Martin who had similar experiences and has been identified as adopting the orphan Emmeline Labiche who was the true “Evangeline.”[30]Stanley LeBlanc, “The Genealogy of Acadian Reminiscences,” The Attakapas Gazette (http://attakapasgazette.org/vol-5-2015/the-genealogy-of-acadian-reminiscences/ : viewed 5 May 2022).

Discussion on Magdelene Robichot’s Age
In 1769 and 1771, Magdelene’s age was recorded in census records. Depending on which month the censuses were taken, Magdelene may have been born in 1755 or 1756. In 1803, she or Jean Charles may have provided her age of forty-eight, placing her year of birth as 1755. The U.S. census records for 1810 and 1820 place her age as forty-five years old or older, which would make her born sometime before 1765. In 1830, the U.S. census has her age as between eighty and ninety which would make her birth between 1750 and 1760. The next time her age is recorded is when Magdelene died, 24 July 1831 and someone gave her age as eighty-three years old. If she was eighty-three, then she would have been born in 1748. The reported ages that are most likely to be correct are the ages of fourteen and fifteen given in 1769 and 1771 because it is likely her mother provided her age to the enumerator who would know her daughter’s age, whereas the person giving Magdelene’s age in the 1830 census and to the church may have been guessing her age. There is a difference of eight years between 1748 and 1756. More than likely, Magdelene was about seventy-six years old when she died in 1831. I believe she was born in 1755 and not 1748, but the trials and tribulations she endured with the deportation from Acadia could easily account for someone thinking she was much older than seventy-six.
Discussion on Jean Charles Hebert’s Age
Jean Charles Hebert’s age is first documented as fifteen in a 1766 census of the inhabitants of the right bank of the Mississippi River. He would have been born around 1751. However, if he was ninety-three when he died in 1830, he would have been twenty-seven years old in 1766 and probably not described as an orphan. Therefore, his age of fifteen in 1766 is probably close to correct. The next time Jean Charles’s age is documented is twenty-six years later in 1792 when he is listed in the Attakapas Militia as forty-three years old making his year of birth as 1749. That is a two-year difference from the first record of his recorded age which would not be unusual. About eleven years later, in an 1803 census, Jean Charles is listed as fifty-two years old, making his year of birth as 1751, which coincides with the year of birth for the 1766 census. If he were to have actually been ninety-three years old when he died in 1830, then there likely would have been instances where he or someone else would have reported him as at least ten years older than reported in 1766, 1792 and 1803. More than likely, Jean Charles was closer to seventy-nine years of age, though he could have been as old as eighty-one years old. I believe that his wisdom and life experience had others thinking he was older than he actually was.
