She came to Acadia in 1636 with her father, Nicolas Bayols. They sailed aboard the ship "St.Jehan" with Issac Pesselin and the first families who came to Acadia. She married in Acadia in 1649 to Pierre de Comeau, born in 1597, the son of Jean de Comeau and Marguerite Ocquidem. (From rootsweb.com)

"Barbe Baiols, widow of Savinien de Courpon, was probably one of the ancient settlers of Acadia. The census of 1671 states that she had eight children living in France and two daughters married at Port Royal. The latter were Rose Baiols, wife of Pierre Commeaux, the cooper, and Marie Baiols, wife of Jean Pitre, the edge tool maker. Barbe Baiols, who was then a great- grandmother, must have been an independent sort of person, for she maintained a house of her own, although poor. She was the owner of one cow and five sheep when the census ot 1671 was taken. When the census of 1686 was taken, Rose Baiols had disappeared from Port Royal she was probably dead for she was an aged woman fifteen years before. None of the name of Baiols now remain in Acadia, nor does the name appear in any census after that of 1671."
