Notes:
HIGHLIGHTS:
Unlike many of his contemporaries, Étienne was educated and could both read and write, likely due to his time at a Jesuit college in Normandy.
Étienne arrived in Quebec as an indentured servant to Guillaume Hubou, a fellow Norman from nearby Mesnil-Durand. He had a 3-year contract
Étienne's marriage contract was drawn up with Marguerite Martin in 1637. She was the daughter of Abraham Martin (after whom the Plains of Abraham would be named) and Marguerite Langlois. Marguerite, born in Quebec in 1624, was merely 13 years old at the time. Due to her young age, the actual marriage ceremony was postponed until May 22, 1638, when Marguerite was 14 and Étienne about 32.
Etienne Racine travelled from 1644 to 1646, companion to the missionnaries Brébeuf and Lalemant (Société de Jésus) through out the Huron country. He returned for the birth of his daughter, baptized Marie-Madeleine Racine, on July 25, 1646, and sets out again one month later towards Lake Huron.
In October 1647, he goes to France with his friend Olivier Le Tardif, then on April 4, 1648, to La Rochelle before returning once again to New France.
In 1650, LeTardif granted Étienne a substantial property of 710 meters wide by 7200 meters deep in what would become Sainte-Anne-de-Beaupré. This grant makes Étienne the founder of Sainte-Anne-de-Beaupré, a town that would later become famous as a pilgrimage site.
CONNECTIONS:
Etienne is Jim's 10th GGF on both the Dumas and Vermette/Gilbert branches.
LIFE STORY:
Étienne Racine, born around 1606 in Fumichon, Normandy, France, was the son of René Racine and Marie Loysel. Unlike many of his contemporaries, Étienne was educated and could both read and write, likely due to his time at a Jesuit college in Normandy. This education would serve him well in the New World and foster a lifelong connection with the Jesuit order.
In 1634, at about 28 years old, Étienne arrived in Quebec as an indentured servant to Guillaume Hubou, a fellow Norman from nearby Mesnil-Durand. This three-year contract brought Étienne to the shores of New France, where he would make his mark as a significant early settler.
On November 16, 1637, Étienne's marriage contract was drawn up with Marguerite Martin, daughter of Abraham Martin (after whom the Plains of Abraham would be named) and Marguerite Langlois. Marguerite, born in Quebec in 1624, was merely 13 years old at the time. Due to her young age, the actual marriage ceremony was postponed until May 22, 1638, when Marguerite was 14 and Étienne about 32.
Étienne's life in New France was marked by adventure and enterprise. From 1644 to 1646, he worked as a carpenter for the Jesuits at their mission in Huron territory, showcasing both his skills and his continued connection to the Jesuit order. In 1647, Étienne's knowledge of both New France and his native Normandy proved valuable when he accompanied Robert Giffard back to France to recruit new settlers. This trip, which saw him depart from and return to La Rochelle, demonstrated Étienne's commitment to the growth of the colony.
Upon his return in 1648, Étienne's efforts were rewarded by his friend Olivier LeTardif, co-seigneur of Beaupré. On March 27, 1650, LeTardif granted Étienne a substantial property of 710 meters wide by 7200 meters deep in what would become Sainte-Anne-de-Beaupré. This grant makes Étienne the founder of Sainte-Anne-de-Beaupré, a town that would later become famous as a pilgrimage site.
Throughout their lives, Étienne and Marguerite raised a family of ten children - four boys and six girls - who would go on to play significant roles in the development of New France. Their daughters' marriages to men like Noël Simard, Jean Gagnon, and Jean Paré would establish family lines that continue to be prominent in French-Canadian genealogy.
Marguerite Martin passed away on November 25, 1679, at the age of 55. Étienne lived on for another decade, dying on April 24, 1689, at the impressive age of 83. Their lives spanned the crucial early decades of French settlement in Canada, and their legacy lives on through their numerous descendants and the town of Sainte-Anne-de-Beaupré.Etienne married MARTIN, Marguerite on 22 May 1638 in Quebec (Urban Agglomeration), Quebec, Canada. Marguerite (daughter of MARTIN, Abraham and LANGLOIS, Marguerite) was born on 4 Jan 1624 in Quebec (Urban Agglomeration), Quebec, Canada; died on 25 Nov 1679 in Chateau Richer, La Côte-de-Beaupré, Quebec, Canada.

LIFE STORY:
Abraham Martin was born around 1589 in Dieppe, Normandy, France. His early life is largely unknown, including the origins of his nickname "l'Écossais" (the Scot), which could suggest Scottish ancestry or connections.
Around 1615, Abraham married Marguerite Langlois. Their first son, Jean, was baptized in Dieppe in 1616 but did not survive infancy. In 1620, Abraham and Marguerite, along with Marguerite's sister Françoise and her husband Pierre Desportes, sailed to Quebec, which had been established as a permanent settlement by Samuel de Champlain in 1608.
Abraham was a fisherman and mariner by trade. He and Marguerite were among the first European inhabitants of Quebec City. Their son Eustache, born in 1621, was the first French-Canadian boy born in Quebec, though he lived only briefly. Their daughter Marguerite (1624) and son Pierre (1630) were among the first children baptized at the newly established Notre-Dame parish.
In 1629, when the Kirke brothers captured Quebec for England, the Martin family returned to France. They came back to Quebec in 1633 after the territory was restored to France. Champlain's will included a substantial bequest to the Martin family, indicating a close relationship.
In 1635, the Company of New France granted Abraham 12 arpents (acres) of land on Cap Diamant's northern slope. This land, which Abraham cleared by hand, became known as the Plains of Abraham. In 1645, he received an additional 20 arpents from Adrien Duchesne.
Abraham likely worked as a river pilot on the St. Lawrence River, referring to himself as a "royal pilot" in 1647, though no official record of this title exists.
Abraham Martin died around September 8, 1664, in Quebec City. Marguerite remarried in February 1665 but passed away later that year.
Abraham and Marguerite had eleven children in total, most of whom survived to adulthood. Their son Charles Amador Martin became one of the first Canadian priests. By 1800, their descendants numbered 7,765 married individuals.
The Plains of Abraham, named after Martin, later became the site of the famous 1759 battle between British and French forces, cementing his place in Canadian history. Today, the Plains of Abraham is a park. Abraham Martin is remembered as one of the founding pioneers of New France, his legacy living on through his numerous descendants and the historical significance of the land that bears his name.

Resilience: She endured the hardships of early colonial life, including the temporary English occupation of Quebec from 1629 to 1632.
Longevity: Marguerite outlived her husband Abraham, who died in 1664.
Second marriage: In February 1665, at around 70 years old, she married René Branche.

Legacy: Through her numerous children, Marguerite became the ancestor of many French Canadians. Her descendants played significant roles in the development of New France and later Quebec society.
