Marie married Daigle Daigre Olivier 1666, Port-Royal, Acadie (NS). Olivier was born 1643, France; died Abt 1686, Port-Royal, Acadie (NS). [Group Sheet]

Notes:

Marie Daigle was the daughter of Oliver Daigle or Daigre and Marie Gaudet. She was their eighth child, born about 1677 at Port Royal, Acadia. She was married to Pierre Sibeleau by the time the Census of 1698 was taken. There were no children born of this union. Pierre was born about 1675 and must have died before 1703 (my guess per the next chapter in Marie's life).

Marie's first child, Marie, was born 20 Apr 1703 and baptized 13 May 1703 at Port-Royal, Acadia; baptism note "père inconnu" indicates father unknown. The father of this child was Gabriel Moulaison dit Rencontre, Marie and Gabriel were not married. The child, Marie Moulaison (also, Moulezon and Oulizon) was married about 1726 to John (Jean) Henshaw (Hansole). This Marie continued her mother's tradition of having "enfants naturels", children born out of wedlock, according to the Minutes of the Council of Annapolis, a petition, read 12 May 1726, indicates that Marie had a daughter (what was her name and what became of her?) by Beausoleil (alias Joseph Brosard). He had denied maintenance and responsibility, but was ordered to pay three Shillings and nine Pense every week until the child was eight years old. Is this Joseph Broussard dit Beausoleil, son of François and Catherine Richard, born about 1702, married 11 Sep 1725 at Port-Royal, Acadia, to Angela Thibodeau, daughter of Michel and Agnès Dugas; buried St-Martinville (St-Martin-de-Tours-de-Martinville, Louisiana?) 20 Oct 1765?

Marie's second child, Anne, was born about the end of Dec 1708 in Pisiquit, Acadia, and baptized 14 Apr 1709 in Grand-Pré, Acadia; baptism note "père inconnu" indicates her father was also unknown. Her father was Louis Blain (Blin or Hablin), also, not married to Marie. Anne Blain married Michel Picot on 15 Feb 1731 at Port-Royal, Acadia; indicating that she was the daughter of Louis Blin of Québec. They had the following children:

Marie-Marguerite (born abt 1735 at Port-Royal, Acadia; married abt 1749 to Jean-Baptiste Guidry, son of Pierre and Marguerite Brasseau; buried 10 Sep 1792 at St-Jacques-de-L'Achigan, Québec),
Marie-Anne (born on 16 Apr 1735 at Port-Royal, Acadia; married about 1761 in exile in Massachusetts and revalidated 12 Jul 1767 at L'Assomption, Québec, to Joseph Brault, son of Joseph and Elisabeth Thibodeau;
Isabelle (born 3 Feb 1737 at Port-Royal)
Jean (born when and where; married 10 Nov 1775 at Maskinonge, Québec, to Helene Desportais;).

Finally, Marie, the widow of Pierre Sibeleau, married for the second time. About 1711, she married Jacques Gouzil. They had four children:

Louis (born 17 Feb 1712 at Port-Royal, Acadia)
Marie-Josèphe (born 16 Apr 1713 at Port-Royal, Acadia; married at Port-Royal 9 Nov 1733 to Pierre Després, son of Pierre and Nicole Biard)
Marguerite (born 3 Feb 1715 at Port-Royal, Acadia; married at Port-Royal 22 Nov 1734 to François Lecul dit Guy, son of Jean and Marguerite Corporon)
Brigitte (born and died in Dec 1719 at Port-Royal, Acadia, 15 days old).
