"On 8 December 1755, Jeanne Pellerin, widow of Pierre Surette, and 3 of their daughters, were very likely among the people who left Port-Royal aboard the Pembroke, destined for exile in North Carolina. The Acadians on board seized the ship and headed towards the St-John River. They later moved up river to Ste-Anne-du-Pays-Bas where they settled for the winter. Afterwards, Jeanne Pellerin and her daughters sought refuge in the city of Québec where Jeanne died during the smallpox epidemic that had developed between November 1757 and February 1758.≤ref>White, Stephen A.

Maternal DNA. Jeanne Pellerin's mother was Jeanne Savoie, whose mother was Catherine Lejeune, sister of Edmee Lajeune. Some have speculated that Catherine and Edmee were Amerindian. The Mothers of Acadia maternal DNA project posts its ongoing Maternal DNA results here. To date, the haplogroup of both sisters is consistently reported as U6a7a, indicating European origins. Another group known as Ancestry Out of Acadia DNA PROJECT, posts its results here. They too report that Catherine and Edmee have European haplogroups.
