The act of marriage rehabilitation for Anne Roy, for St-Jean-Baptiste Parish tells us that Marie Aubois was of Mi'kmaq ancestry. Jean Roy (Jean LeRoy also known as Laliberté) was born at St-Malo (France) in 1648. He arrived in Acadia abt. 1671 and was listed at Cap Sable on the 1686 census.
In 1684 he married Marie Aubois, an Amerindian woman and together they had nine children.

Note: The above record has been transcribed to read "Marie Mikmak" however the original record in French read "Marie Sauvagesse". To my knowledge, in 1686 when Marie Aubois married Jean Roy dit Laliberté, the only "Sauvagesses" or "Sauvages", aka Natives, living in Acadia were the Mi'kmaw.

Hi;
I love your site. I have been looking for my husbands ancestors When checking on Marie-Josette Benoît married to Alexis Chartier. I found her father was Pierre Benoit married to Marie Louise Goguet. Pierres parents Geofroy Benoit and Magdelaine Babin I was excited to know the rich heritage of my husbands family.
Thank you for sharing with our readers!
