Charles Forest's marriage to Marie Josephe Poirier:
Title: Dictionnaire Généalogique des Familles Acadiennes: 1715 à 1780

Page: POIRIER #10 b
Text: Charles FOREST, widower of Marie CHIASSON, son of René FOREST & Françoise DUGAS, marrie around 1746 Marie-Josèphe POIRIER, widow of François HÉBERT,daughter of Jacques (10) POIRIER & Anne CORMIER.
Note of P. Delaney (translated):
Explanatory note from Paul Delaney: Marie Hébert was the daughter of François Hébert and Marie-Josèphe Poirier. The dispensations for the third degree of consanguinity granted upon the marriage of Casimir Bourg, grandson of Ursule Forest (daughter of Charles Forest and his wife "Mary"), to Marie Bourg, granddaughter of Marie Hébert (Parish register of Barachois, 22 Nov. 1830) and upon that of Dominique Bourg, grandson of Marie Hébert, to the above Casimir's sister Marguerite Bourg (Parish register of Cap-Pelé, 10 Sept. 1832), show that Marie Hébert must have been either a half- sister of Ursule Forest or of Marguerite Haché. The absence of any dispensations in the records when Moïse Bourg, another of Marie Hébert's grandsons, married Marcelline Bonnevie (Parish register of Barachois, 15 Sept. 1828) and when François Léger, yet another of Marie Hébert's grandsons, married Marguerite Bonnevie (Parish register of Grande- Digue, 14 July 1817) meanwhile eliminates the possibility that such a relationship might have existed between Marie Hébert and Marguerite Haché (the grandmother of the Bonnevies). The dispensation for the second to the third degree of consanguinity granted to Louis Léger, another of Marie Hébert's grandsons, when he married Ursule Forest's brother Paul Forest's daughter Marguerite (Parish register of Cap-Pelé, 30 Oct. 1820), then gives us the proof that Marie Hébert and all the children of Charles Forest and "Mary" had the same mother, because Paul was the eldest of those children and Ursule the youngest. Consequently, the wife of Charles Forest who is called simply "Mary" in the civil register of Franklin Manor was the same Marie-Josèphe Poirier who had first married François Hébert about 1740.

GEDCOM Note

Charles possibly escaped to Ile-Saint-Jean during the Deportation. In 1758, after that island fell to the British, he fled to the eastern coast of New Brunswick, and in 1763 he was imprisoned at FortBeausejour by the British authorities with other pioneers of Menoudie who resisted the British at the battle of Restigouche. In 1765, J. F. W. Des Barres obtained a grant of land in Menoudie, and from 1766 and 1767 a number of Acadian families established themselves there. Among the nine original tenants was Charles Forest. Having become widowed, Charles desired to marry Marie Girouard. However, as Marie had no proof that her husband (Michel Duguay) had died since his exile to France, Le Roux refused to marry them. Charles complained to Des Barres who, along with the governmental and religious authorities in Halifax, intervened in Charles' favor. Thus Father James Jones requested that Father Thomas Grace marry Charles and Marie despite the protestations of Le Roux. In addition to Le Roux's opposition, the six children of Charles and Marie Chiasson opposed the marriage because they were distressed to be associated with a woman whose sister (described as a prostitute by Le Roux) was living with a "black monster" and had 4 or 5 children. Moreover, Charles had given Marie Girouard all the property of his deceased wife, Marie Chiasson, which constituted in the eyes of Le Roux, a theft from Charles' children. In 1802, Antoine Bedard, mindful of the questionable marriage of Charles and Marie, visited the couple and advised them to separate until the bishop could make a final decisionon the matter. The elderly Charles confided to Bedard that he did not wish to live with Marie if she was no longer to be his wife, because he was troubled by the situation.
