Marie is the daughter of Rene Bernard and Andree Guyon (1620-). She married Rene Landry in 1659, in Port-Royal, Acadie. They are the parents of the following:
1) Antoine (1660-) md Marie Thibodeau
2) Claude (1663-1747) md (a) Marie Babin and (b) Anne-Catherine Thibodeau
3) Cecile (1664-1741) md (a) Etienne Racois and (b) Pierre Theriault

13) Anne (1684-) md Rene Blanchard
14) Charles (1688-1722) md Catherine Brossard
15) Isabelle (1690-)

The exact name of Marie and Jeanne Bernard's father is heavily debated. All evidence says it is not Rene or Andre so do not change the name unless you have discovered some new evidence that dozens of scholars have not found in decades of searching. The strongest evidence suggests his name was Charles. There is a marriage record in France for Charles Bernard and Andree Guyon, but it is still unclear if this was the same Andree Guyon. A profile for Charles Bernard as the spouse of Andree Guyon is linked to her profile so his information can be documented. Perhaps mtDNA evidence will someday allow us to link our Andree Guyon to the Thyphaine Pannier maternal line in France. Until then it is best to leave the given name blank.

Notes:

He is the son of Pierre Laverdure dit Melanson and Priscilla Melanson. Pierre was a tailor by trade and a captain in the militia at Mines, Acadie.

He was supposedly a Huguenot, and a Calviniste (although that isn't confirmed). Pierre was of French and English descent as explained below:

His father, Pierre Laverdure dit Melanson, left France because of persecution of his Protestant faith, finding refuge in England. It was there that he met his wife Priscilla Melanson or Malleson.

Pierre senior moved to Boston with his wife Priscilla and youngest son in 1667 (after the French retook Acadia), where he probably died. After his father died, his mother was remarried to William Wright, on 18 April 1680.


After initially settling at Port Royal, Pierre Melanson was later one of the founders of Grand Pre with Pierre Theriot. He was a stonemason.

"In the spring of 1657, the family embarked in England aboard the vessel Satisfaction under the command of Captain Peter Butler, forming part of the company which Thomas Temple was transporting to Acadia, over which he had been named Governor after its capture by the English. Having first stopped at Boston, Captain Butler next went to the fort on the St. John River, where a group of his passengers disembarked, and finally to Port-Royal. It appears the La Verdure (or Melanson, as they were known) family stopped at Fort St. John. After the Treaty of Breda, under which in 1667 England ceded Acadia to France, he and his parents went to seek refuge under the Protestant government at Boston.
