Edmée Lejeune

Notes:

Edmée Lejeune is a mystery. We know nothing about her background, only that she had a sister Catherine (born about 1633) who married François Savoie. There was only one Lejeune in Port-Royal in the 1620s, when the older sister was born - Pierre, and he was unmarried. Pierre Lejeune was in Acadia as early as 1611, with the very first settlers; they were all male, and several married Micmac women. The assumption is that Pierre did the same. This is quite possible, but not documented in any way. Micmac women who married French settlers usually converted to Catholicism and received Christian names, which are often recorded. On the other hand, Pierre could have had a French wife who left no record, and Edmée could even have been born in France. But the fact that so many Gautrot children were born and recorded, and then disappeared from later records, suggests that they lived with their Indian relatives.
