  • Notes 
    • Marie-Josephe Orillon was born on June 15, 1736 in Port Royal. Marie-Josephe grew up in one of the most difficult periods of Acadian History. She married Michel Pitre in Quebec City while they were both refugees there in 1759. They had 13 children of which two, a girl named Marie and a boy named Joseph, died not long after birth.

      Marie-Josephe was the daughter of Charles II Orillon and Marie-Anne Richard.

      Charles Orillon dit Champagne the second was born on August 7, 1713. He married Anne Richard (daughter of François & Anne Comeau) in Port-Royal on September 22, 1734. Anne only lived until the age of forty-two. Charles Orillon II remarried a widow named Marie Doucet on June 27, 1763.

      According to Monsignor L. Richard of Trois-Rivières, among the Acadian settlers in Nicolet, three families (Pitre, Boudreau & Gaudet) were linked to Charles Orillon (Orion) dit Champagne through the marriage of his daughters. These families would have followed him to settle in the Nicolet region. Charles Orillon (Orion) dit Champagne left a progeny in that region that can be seen even today by the number of descendants bearing the names of Orillon, Orion and Champagne. Charles Orillon II dit Champagne passed away in Nicolet on March 19, 1790.

      Marie-Anne Richard was the daughter of François and Anne Comeau. Born around 1684 in Port Royal, she had the misfortune of dying young as she was only 42.

      Marie-Josephe Orillon herself lived in Nipisiguit until the age of 72, when she was buried there on January 18, 1809 .

      Marie-Josephe Orillon is a descendant of pioneer Charles Orillon dit Champagne. [1]
