Notes:

Jean Pelletier, born on June 12, 1627, in Tourouvre, Perche, France, and Anne Langlois, born on September 2, 1637, in Quebec, New France, were two individuals whose lives intertwined to create a lasting legacy in early French-Canadian history.

Jean, the son of Guillaume Pelletier and Michelle Mabille, migrated to New France in 1641 at the tender age of 14 with his parents and uncle. This move was part of the significant Percheron emigration that played a crucial role in populating the fledgling colony. Upon arrival, Jean quickly adapted to life in the New World, briefly serving as a donné (lay helper) to the Jesuits in 1646, possibly traveling as far as Fort Sainte-Marie in Huron territory.

Anne Langlois was born in Quebec to Noël Langlois and Françoise Grenier (or Garnier), making her one of the first children born to French settlers in the colony. Her baptism on September 2, 1637, was witnessed by notable figures in early Quebec society, including François Bellanger and Anne Cloutier.
The couple's story takes an interesting turn with their marriage. They first announced their intention to marry in 1647 when Jean was 20 and Anne merely 9 years old. This led to a postponement until Anne reached the canonical age of 12. They were finally wed on November 9, 1649, in the home of Robert Giffard in Beauport, with Jean aged 22 and Anne 12.

Jean and Anne's life together was marked by frequent moves and the challenges of establishing a home in the wilderness of New France. They initially settled in Beauport before moving to Île d'Orléans in the mid-1660s. Later, they lived briefly on Île-aux-Oies and Île-aux-Grues before finally settling in Saint-Roch-des-Aulnaies around 1678, where Jean was one of the first two colonists.

Throughout their marriage, Jean worked as a land-clearer, carpenter, and sawyer. He engaged in various business ventures, including selling wooden planks to Quebec merchants. The couple faced the dangers of frontier life, with Jean participating in the defense of Rivière-Ouelle against William Phips's attack in 1690.

Jean and Anne had nine children together between 1654 and 1674:

Noël (1654-1712)
Anne (1656-c.1687-1691)
René (1659-1713)
Antoine (1661-1661)
Jean (1663-1739)
Marie Delphine (1666-1666)
Marie (1667-1725)
Charles (1671-1748)
Marie Charlotte (1674-1699)

Their children went on to establish their own families, contributing significantly to the growth of the French-Canadian population.

Jean Pelletier passed away on February 24, 1698, at the age of 70, in Rivière-Ouelle. Anne Langlois survived him by several years, dying on March 16, 1704, at the age of 66, also in Rivière-Ouelle.

Jean married LANGLOIS, Anne Marie on 9 Nov 1649 in Chateau Richer, La Côte-de-Beaupré, Quebec, Canada. Anne (daughter of LANGLOIS, Noel and GRENIER, Francoise) was born on 19 Aug 1636 in Quebec (Urban Agglomeration), Quebec, Canada; died on 16 Mar 1704 in Lévis, Quebec, Canada.

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]
