LIFE STORY

Noël Langlois, a significant figure in early New France, was born around 1605 in Saint-Léonard-des-Parcs, Normandy, France, to Guillaume Langlois and Jeanne Millet. In 1634, at the invitation of Robert Giffard, seigneur of Beauport, and likely influenced by his brother-in-law Abraham Martin dit L'Écossais, Langlois embarked for New France. He arrived in Quebec on June 24, 1634.

On July 25, 1634, Langlois married Françoise Grenier (Garnier) in what is considered the fourth French-Canadian marriage in Canada. The couple settled in Beauport, where Langlois received a land grant from Giffard in 1637. He worked as a pilot on the St. Lawrence River and as a fisherman, playing a crucial role in the colony's maritime activities.

Noël and Françoise had ten children before her death in November 1665. On July 27, 1666, Langlois married his second wife, Marie Crevet, the widow of Robert Caron. The 1666 census listed him as a habitant in the Quebec area.

Jim has four lines of descent from Noel Langlois and his first wife, Francoise, all on the Vermette branch. He is also descended from Noel and his second wife Marie Crevet on both the Vermette and Dumas branches.

Throughout his life, Langlois was an active member of the community. He witnessed several important marriages, including those of Guillaume Lizot to his granddaughter Anne Pelletier in 1669, François Allard in 1671, and Damien Bérubé in 1679. His continued involvement in community events into his 70s suggests he remained vigorous well into old age.

Noël Langlois died on July 14, 1684, in Beauport at the age of 80. He was survived by his second wife and eight of his ten children.

Noel married GRENIER, Francoise on 25 Jul 1634 in Quebec (Urban Agglomeration), Quebec, Canada. Francoise died on 1 Nov 1665 in Quebec (Urban Agglomeration), Quebec, Canada. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
