     Marie-Josèphe Hébert was born on 5 January 1713 at Annapolis Royal, Colony of Nova Scotia, British North America.1,2,3 She was the daughter of Jean-Emmanuel Hébert and Madeleine Dugas. Marie-Josèphe Hébert was christened on 7 January 1713 at Annapolis Royal, Colony of Nova Scotia, British North America.2

Marie-Josèphe Hébert married Jean-Jacques Cyr, son of Pierre Cyr and Claire Cormier, circa 1736 at Colony of Nova Scotia, British North America.4,2,3 In the 1752 Census, Marie-Josèphe was recorded living in Memramcook, Acadia (now New Brunswick), New France.3 In order to escape deportation, the family fled to Isle Saint-Jean (present-day Prince Edward Island) between 1755 and 1758. Unfortunately, after the deportations of 1755 in the area of Beaubassin and Grand-Pré, another deportation took place on Isle Saint-Jean in 1758. The family was put aboard the Duke William and disembarked at Saint-Malo on 1 November 1758. They managed to survive horrific conditions on the ship. Of the 342 passengers listed, 146 died at sea, 29 died at hospital after arrival. Jean, Marie-Josèphe and 6 of their children needed to be hospitalized upon arrival in France.3 In the 1755 Census, Marie-Josèphe was recorded living in Memramcook, Colony of Nova Scotia (now New Brunswick).3 In the 1762 US Census, Marie-Josèphe was recorded, age 50, living in Saint-Servan, Ille-et-Vilaine, Brittany, France.3 In the 1772 US Census, Marie-Josèphe was recorded, age 48, living in Saint-Malo, Ille-et-Vilaine, Brittany, France. Clearly the age is incorrect.3 In the 1776 US Census, Marie-Josèphe was recorded, age 66, living in Île de Saint-Pierre, Saint Pierre and Miquelon.3
