• Notes

  BIRTH: - Name given as Marie Faucourt in the July 1716 baptismal record of her son Pierre, the February 1738 marriage record of her son, Honor? Sellier, and the January 1743 marriage record of her son Pierre Sellier. Name given as Marie Faucour in the August 1739 marriage record of her son Paul Sellier. - It is possible that she was born in the French colony of Saint-Christophe, which was captured by the British and renamed St. Kitts in 1690. A list of inhabitants of Saint-Christophe, dated to May-August 1690, contains the name of Paul Faucourt, in the same company as Fabien Cellier and Guy and Jean Petit. The list of inhabitants can be viewed at this link: http://www.ghcaraibe.org/docu/st-chr/1689/stx1689orig.html. A description of the document is contained in Bernadette and Philippe Rossignol, "Le Role General des Habitants de Saint-Christophe: 1690?", G?n?alogie et Histoire de la Cara?be Bulletin, no. 13 (February 1990), page 106, available at http://www.ghcaraibe.org/bul/ghc013/p0106.html. DEATH: - Described as deceased [Fr: defunte] in the August 1739 marriage record of her son Paul Sellier (See notes on his entry regarding why his name was mistakenly copied as Pierre in the record) and as the "late" [Fr: feue] Marie Faucourt in the January 1743 marriage record of her son, Pierre Sellier. The fact that she was not so described in the 1738 marriage record of her son Honor?, from the same locality and by the same priest as the 1743 record, may indicate that she died between February 1738 and August 1739. - The 1739 marriage record of her son described him as a resident of Anse-Bertrand parish, so this was likely her place of residence, as well. - The parish records of Anse-Bertrand, where her husband died in 1743, has a gap between 26 February 1738 and 2 December 1738. If she died in this period, a record of her burial would not have been kept. There is no burial record for her in Anse-Bertrand from 2 December 1738 to August 1739.
