Judith Michel was born about 1699. She was the daughter of Jacques Michel and Catherine Comeau.
In 1700, at Port Royal, Judith, aged 1, lived with her parents, Jacques Michel, aged 42, and Catherine Comeau, aged 28, and her four brothers: François, aged 10; Jean, aged 8; Charles, aged 6; and Joseph, aged 2. The family owned 1 gun and lived on 7 arpents of cultivable land with 7 cattle and 10 sheep.[1]
In 1701, at Port Royal, Judith, aged 2, lived with her parents, Jacques Michel, aged 33, and Catherine Comeau, aged 30, and her four siblings: François, aged 11; Jean, aged 9; Charles, aged 7; and Joseph, aged 4. The family owned 1 gun and lived on 1 arpent of cultivable land with 6 cattle, 8 sheep, and 4 hogs.[2]
She married Paul Savoye, son of Germain Savoye and Marie Brau 23 November 1722 at Port Royal, Acadia. The bride and groom made their marks and Joseph Leblanc signed.[3][4]

The family was recorded on the 1752 and 1755 censuses at Chipoudie. In 1752 they had 2 sons and 2 daughters. In 1755 they again had 2 sons and 2 daughters.[5]
In 1755 the family was deported to South Carolina aboard the Edward Cornwallis that departed Chignecto on 13 Oct 1755 and arrived in South Carolina on 17 Nov 1755.[6] They do not appear on the 1763 census there and their descendants settled in Louisiana. Son Pierre arrived in Louisiana from Halifax so perhaps the family made their way back north.
She and her husband died before 11 July 1772, the date their son Pierre married in Louisiana and his parents were noted as deceased.
