Joseph was a younger son of Abraham Arsenault (12 Mar 1702-19 Nov 1759) and Marie Josephe Savoie (25 Apr 1709-29 Dec 1757), who married on 29 Jan 1727 in Beaubassin, Nova Scotia.
Marie was from Louisbourg, Acadie (Nova Scotia), daughter of Louis Paul Girouard (1725-1755) and Marie Renée Boudrot (1 Feb 1728-1755), who married in 1746 in Acadieville, Kent County, New Brunswick. Her mother died in New Brunswick when she was about 5. Her father died the same year, but in Opelousas in what’s now the US state of Louisiana. Presumably Marie was taken in by relatives.
Joseph and Marie married about 1770 in New Brunswick. They settled on Prince Edward Island, probably in Malpeque. Joseph died in 1833. Marie’s date and place of death are unknown.

Berbe (22 Jul 1818-1882) — m. Joseph Arceneau in 1836
Nanette died in 1851, and Jean in 1869 in Egmont Bay.

The family lived in Miscouche. Francois died there in 1845. Don’t know about Agnes.
There’s supposedly a 15th child, a daughter Hippolyte who was born around the same time as son Hyppolite but died in 1846. I’m skeptical.
Beyond that he was born in Malpeque, no information.
No information
Dominique has his own entry in the family tree.
Bibiane married Joseph Arsenault, eldest child of Arsenault ancestors Jos Magitte Arsenault and Marie-Jeanne Bourgeois. See that page for details.
Domithilde married Sosime Moise Poirier (29 Nov 1789-13 Nov 1882) about 1810. Known children:
Julie (19 Jun 1813-????)
Donald (6 Apr 1815-????)
Judith (7 Feb 1817-????) — m. Felix Bourqe on 7 Jan 1839
Appolina (~1823-????) — m. Lazare Gaudet on 10 Jan 1843
Mary (~1825-????) — m. Sylvain Gaudet on 7 Jan 1847
Usebe (10 Dec 1825-????) — m. Marie Bernard on 11 Jan 1847
John/Jean Sosime (~1827-????) — m. Barbara Pitre on 22 Jan 1849
Hubert (????-1887)
Based on places of birth and marriage, the family lived at first in Rustico, Prince Edward Island, and in Tignish by the late 1820s. Domithilde died in 1834 in Tignish. Sosime died in 1882 in the same place.
The younger children of the family went with “Perry” rather than “Poirier”.
Juliette married Placide Areseneau (1787-1862) about 1810. Known children:
Hubert (30 Jan 1813-????) — m. Marguerite Arsenault on 28 Oct 1834; supposedly m. Marcelline Arsenault on 14 Oct 1845
Marie Blanche (1816-????) — m. Etienne Arsenault on 14 Nov 1836
Mathilde (1818-????) — m. Pierre Richard on 20 Oct 1834
Joseph P. (Aug 1820-????) — m. Luce Arseneau on 13 Oct 1840
Julie/Juliette (25 Jun 1824-19xx) — m. Maurice Arsenault on 15 Jan 1845
Etienne (~1828-????)
André (~1833-????) — m. Magdeleine Bernard in 1856
They apparently lived in Miscouche and later Egmont Bay, Prince Edward Island, since that’s where their children married. Juliette died in 1845, and Placide in 1862.
Records make son Hubert out to be a bigamist with two overlapping families and a total of 21 children. Hard to believe. Further investigation needed.
Marie married Fidele Chiasson (1783-????) in 1817 in Rustico, Queens, Prince Edward Island. Known children:
Judith (1809-1889) — m. Charles Arsenault in 1828; m. Clement Gallant on 13 Jan 1846; m. Sylvain Richard on 19 Nov 1861
Domitile (7 Oct 1812-????)
Thomas (15 Apr 1815-????) — m. Blanche Richard on 28 Nov 1837
The couple remained on Prince Edward Island. It’s not known where or when they died.
