LIFE STORY:
Robert Caron, one of the early settlers of New France, arrived in Quebec on June 11, 1636, on a ship owned by the Company of 100 Associates, departing from Dieppe, France.. Robert Caron's parents are not named on his marriage record, which was reconstructed from memory by the clergy after the church records burned in a 1640 fire. Thus, his exact origins in France remain a subject of debate among genealogists, However, it's believed he may have come from Normandy and that his father was René-Édouard Caron and his mother, Catherine Fortin. Regardless of his birthplace, Robert quickly established himself as a significant figure in the fledgling colony.
Marie Crevet, born around 1615 in Bénouville, near Bayeux in Normandy, daughter of Marguerite Lemercier and Pierre Crevet, was among the "Filles à Marier" - young, marriageable women who ventured to New France in search of husbands and new opportunities. These women, distinct from the later Filles du Roi, paid their own way to the colony and were crucial to its early development.
Robert and Marie married on October 25, 1637, in the Notre-Dame-de-la-Recouvrance chapel in Quebec, with Jesuit Charles Lallemant officiating and notable figures like Robert Giffard as witnesses. The couple initially settled at Longue-Pointe, where their first two children, Marie-Anne (1639) and Jean-Baptiste (1641), were born.
Facing constant harassment from the Iroquois, Robert and Marie sold their Longue-Pointe land to Guillaume Couillard in 1642 for 150£ and moved to Coteau Ste-Genevieve near Quebec City. Robert began clearing this land in 1643, receiving 40 acres in 1649 and an additional 20 acres from Governor Louis D'Ailleboust in 1651. During their 12 years at Ste-Genevieve, they had five more children: Robert (1647), Marie-Catherine (1649), Joseph (1652), Pierre (1654), and Aimee (1656).
In 1654, for reasons unknown, Robert sold their Ste-Genevieve land to Charles D'Ailleboust, the governor's nephew, for 1,700£. The family then moved to Sainte-Anne-du-Petit-Cap on the coast of Beaupre, purchasing five frontage acres with 1-3 miles depth from Julien Fortin de Bellefontaine for 500£. This move closer to Iroquois territory seems puzzling given Robert's previous concerns.
Tragically, Robert's life was cut short. He died suddenly on July 8, 1656, at the Quebec Hospital, aged about 44 or 45. The cause of his death remains unknown.
Marie Crevet, now a widow with young children, demonstrated remarkable resilience. She waited ten years before remarrying, wedding Noël Langlois in 1666. This marriage was based on mutual affection, with the couple keeping their assets separate to avoid disputes among heirs. Marie lived to the exceptional age of 86 (or possibly 92), passing away in 1695.
Interestingly, the land Robert cleared at Ste-Genevieve remained undeveloped for many years, with building reportedly forbidden for unknown reasons. Eventually, it became the site of the College St-Charles-Garnier, which stands there today, a testament to Robert Caron's enduring legacy in Quebec.

Robert and Marie's paths crossed in the small settlement of Quebec, where they married on October 25, 1637. Their wedding, held in the Notre-Dame-de-la-Recouvrance chapel, was officiated by Jesuit Charles Lallemant and witnessed by notable figures including Robert Giffard, the seigneur of Beauport. This union marked the beginning of a significant family line in New France.
Initially, the couple settled on the Côte de Beaupré, east of Montmorency Falls. However, they soon relocated to Côte Sainte-Geneviève in Quebec City. Robert proved to be an industrious settler, clearing land and establishing a homestead. By 1643, he had acquired 40 arpents of land, which was later expanded by an additional 20 arpents granted by Governor Louis D'Ailleboust.
Robert and Marie had seven children together, contributing significantly to the growth of the colony's population. Their children were:
Marie (1638-1660)
Jean-Baptiste (1641-1706)
Robert (1647-1714)
Catherine (1649-1725)
Joseph (1652-1711)
Pierre (1654-1720)
Aymée (1655-1685)
