| 1109 | King Edward III is noted for his military success and for restoring royal authority after the disastrous and unorthodox reign of his father, Edward II. Edward III transformed the Kingdom of England into one of the most formidable military powers in Europe. His long reign of fifty years was the second longest in medieval England and saw vital developments in legislation and government-in particular the evolution of the English parliament-as well as the ravages of the Black Death. | ENGLAND, Edward III of (I7610)

| 1119 | Kittery has the distinction of being the oldest town in the State of Maine, incorporated in 1647 -- more than a century and a quarter before the birth of the United States English settlers first made their home in this area in 1623. The town’s name is derived from Kittery Court, the family home of early inhabitant Alexander Shapleigh in Kingswear, England. | SHAPLEIGH, Alexander (I5057)

He served against the Scots in 1300, 130304, and 1310, and was summoned against them 13091314. In 1304 he was granted letters of protection to accompany Edward, Prince of Wales, across the seas. He received further grants of protection in 1308 to cross the seas with the king, and in 1314, to accompany the Earl of Gloucester overseas with Queen Isabel. He was summoned to Parliament from 10 March 1307/8 to 26 Nov. 1313, by writs directed Pagano de Tybotot, whereby he is held to have become Lord Tibetot. In 1309 he was one of the nobles who wrote the Pope to complain of abuses in the Church. In 1310 he supported the appointment of the Lords Ordainer. In 1313 he was forbidden to attend a tournament at Newmarket." (Ref: MCA) | DE TIBETOT, Payn, 1st Lord Tibetot Pain (I10167)

| 1126 | Lambert scorned both temporal and spiritual authorities and in 1054 even took up arms against Holy Roman Emperor Henry III. He was defeated and lost his life at Tournai. During his reign Brussels began its growth. Lambert arranged to transfer the remains of Saint Gudule to the St. Michael church. This church, thereafter known as Saints-Michel-et-Gudule, developed to become St. Michael and Gudula Cathedral. Lambert also constructed a fortress on the Coudenberg hill. | LENS, Lambert II of (I7435)

| 1127 | Landed in Boston in 1695 at the age of eighteen. With other fellow sailors he deserted ship, fled into the wilderness, evaded detectives, and eventually hid in a haymow and an old hovel in Cocheco, now Madbury, not far from the present Madbury Town Hall. After the ship departed, he emerged from hiding and settled in Cocheco among the Indians. A granite monument to his memory, with a large corn mortar carved upon it by the Indians, was placed on his grave by the poet-historian Robert Caverly Boodey, inscribed on each of the four sides with "Boodey 1695", King Phillip 1675", Demerritt 1758" and "Caverly 1780", to mark the spot where Red Men and White Men lived together in a kindly fellowship.

| 1129 | Last of the major Anglo-Saxon earls to remain powerful after the Norman conquest of England in 1066, and the son of Siward, Earl of Northumbria. In 1075, Waltheof joined the Revolt of the Earls against William. It was the last serious act of resistance against the Norman conquest of England. His wife, Judith betrayed Waltheof to her uncle, who had Waltheof beheaded on 31 May 1076. In 1092, after a fire in the chapter house, the abbot had Waltheof’s body moved to a prominent place in the abbey church. When the coffin was opened, it is reported that the corpse was found to be intact with the severed head re-joined to the trunk.[1] This was regarded as a miracle, and the abbey, which had a financial interest in the matter began to publicise it. As a result, pilgrims began to visit Waltheof’s tomb. After a few years healing miracles were reputed to occur in the vicinity of Waltheof’s tomb, often involving the restoration of the pilgrim’s lost sight. Waltheof also became the subject of popular media, heroic but inaccurate accounts of his life being preserved in the Vita et Passio Waldevi comes, a Middle English Waltheof saga, since lost, and the Anglo-Norman Waldef. | NORTHUMBERLAND, Waltheof (I7437)
|
| 1130 | Later perspectives of Æthelred have been less than flattering. Numerous legends and anecdotes have sprung up to explain his shortcomings, often elaborating abusively on his character and failures. One such anecdote is given by William of Malmesbury (lived c. 1080-c. 1143), who reports that Æthelred had defecated in the baptismal font as a child, which led St. Dunstan to prophesy that the English monarchy would be overthrown during his reign. This story is, however, a fabrication, and a similar story is told of the Byzantine Emperor Constantine Copronymus, another mediaeval monarch who was unpopular among certain of his subjects. Efforts to rehabilitate Æthelred's reputation have gained momentum since about 1980. Chief among the rehabilitators has been Simon Keynes, who has often argued that our poor impression of Æthelred is almost entirely based upon after-the-fact accounts of, and later accretions to, the narrative of events during Æthelred's long and complex reign. | AETHELRED, II (I7272)

|
| 1144 | Lieutenant Aaron Moses was born in a home located near Sagamore Creek in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. His exact birth date remains unclear, but it is believed to be around 1650. Aaron was the son of Sergeant John Moses, a respected member of the community, and his wife Alice, who is not well-documented in historical records. Military and Civic Involvement: Aaron Moses' life was marked by his active involvement in both military and civic affairs. He served as a Lieutenant in the local militia, a role of considerable importance during a time when local militias were crucial for the defense and order of colonial settlements. His military service included being a member of Captain Tobias Langdon's company, reflecting the community's reliance on local leadership for protection against various threats, including conflicts with Native American tribes. In 1696, Aaron was part of a court-martial convened by Governor Usher, indicating his involvement in higher-level military and judicial matters. His role in the militia and participation in the court-martial during this period align with the broader historical context of King William's War (1688-1697), part of the larger conflict between England and France for control of North America. Public Service and Land Management: Beyond his military duties, Aaron Moses was deeply involved in public service. He served as the constable of Portsmouth in 1690, a role that involved maintaining public order and executing the decisions of the town's court and administration. By 1694, he had risen to the position of marshal of the colony, akin to a modern-day sheriff, highlighting his standing and trust within the community. Aaron's management of the family farm at Sagamore Creek, inherited from his father, was a significant aspect of his life. He engaged in land transactions, including purchasing a tract near a mill-dam and selling various parcels, demonstrating his active participation in the local economy and land management. Family Life: Aaron Moses' marital life is subject to historical debate. While some records suggest he was married to Ruth Sherburne, the youngest daughter of Henry Sherburne, other documents, name his wife as Mary. This Mary is believed to be Mary Leach, whom he married around 1668. The confusion over his wife's identity reflects the challenges of early colonial record-keeping. After Aaron's death in July 1713, Mary Moses married John Sherburne, likely a cousin of Aaron's first wife, on October 20, 1720. This marriage further intertwined the Moses and Sherburne families, prominent in the Portsmouth area. Legacy and Estate: The administration of Aaron Moses' estate was granted to his widow, Mary, in 1713, and his son James was later appointed to finalize the estate's settlement. The estate included a substantial amount of land, indicative of Aaron's success and status in the community. Lieutenant Aaron Moses' life story is a blend of military service, civic duty, and family legacy, set against the backdrop of a turbulent and formative period in American history. His contributions to the Portsmouth area and his role in the local militia during a time of colonial expansion and conflict highlight the complexities and challenges faced by early American settlers. | MOSES, Lieutenant Aaron Sr (I9867)

| 1145 | Lieutenant William French's story begins in the quaint town of Halstead, Essex, England, where he was born on March 15, 1603. His life took a pivotal turn in 1635 when he, his wife Elizabeth, and their young children embarked on the "Defence" for the New World. This journey was not without its trials; the ship faced storms and a perilous leak, but ultimately, they arrived safely in Boston on October 3, 1635. William's life in the New World was one of service and leadership. He first settled in Newtown, now Cambridge, Massachusetts, where he purchased land in 1639. His involvement in the Ancient and Honorable Artillery Company in Boston, where he served as Junior Sergeant, First Sergeant, and Ensign, showcased his commitment to the community's defense and governance. In 1652/3, William moved to Billerica, Massachusetts, becoming one of its original proprietors. His roles in the town were varied and significant. He was appointed to solemnize marriages, chosen to sit in the Deacon's seat, and served as a commissioner to establish country rates. As one of the first selectmen, he held a position of trust and responsibility, reflecting the community's confidence in his leadership. William's dedication to education and religious instruction was evident in his service on a committee to examine children and servants in reading, religion, and the catechism. His political involvement extended to being the first Deputy or Representative of Billerica in the General Court at Boston. His first wife, Elizabeth, passed away in 1668, and he later married Mary (Lathrop) Stearns, the widow of John Stearns. This union brought together a large blended family, with children from both marriages. William's commitment to the cause of Indian instruction is highlighted in his letter to a friend in England, which was published as the tract "Strength out of Weakness." This work provided a detailed account of the testimony of an Indian convert, illustrating his interest in cross-cultural relations and religious outreach. William French passed away on November 20, 1681, in Billerica, leaving behind a legacy of public service, community leadership, and a commitment to the betterment of his adopted homeland. His life story is a testament to the challenges and opportunities faced by early American settlers and the significant role they played in shaping the history of the United States. | FRENCH, Captain William (I2579)

| 1151 | Little is known of the first 20 years of Egbert's reign, but it is thought that he was able to maintain the independence of Wessex against the kingdom of Mercia, which at that time dominated the other southern English kingdoms. In 825 Egbert defeated Beornwulf of Mercia, ended Mercia's supremacy at the Battle of Ellandun, and proceeded to take control of the Mercian dependencies in southeastern England. In 829 Egbert defeated Wiglaf of Mercia and drove him out of his kingdom, temporarily ruling Mercia directly. Later that year Egbert received the submission of the Northumbrian king at Dore. The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle subsequently described Egbert as a bretwalda, or "Ruler of Britain". Egbert was unable to maintain this dominant position, and within a year Wiglaf regained the throne of Mercia. However, Wessex did retain control of Kent, Sussex, and Surrey; these territories were given to Egbert's son Æthelwulf to rule as a subking under Egbert. When Egbert died in 839, Æthelwulf succeeded him; the southeastern kingdoms were finally absorbed into the kingdom of Wessex after Æthelwulf's death in 858. | EGBERT King of Wessex (I7179)

| 1161 | Louis Hébert, born around 1575 in Paris, France, is recognized as the first European apothecary and farmer in what later became Canada. He was the son of Nicolas Hébert and Jacqueline Pajot. In 1601, he married Marie Rollet, following his father's wishes, despite his love for another woman. Hébert's journey to the New World began in 1606 when he joined an expedition to Acadia, led by his cousin-in-law Jean de Biencourt de Poutrincourt and Samuel de Champlain. He lived in Port Royal (now Annapolis Royal, Nova Scotia) from 1606 to 1607 and again from 1611 to 1613. During his time there, he engaged in horticulture and was noted for his skill in cultivating the land. He returned to France in 1607 after the expedition's trade concession expired. In 1617, Hébert, along with his wife and their three children, Guillaume, Guillaumette, and Anne, left Paris to settle in Quebec City. He was offered a contract by the Compagnie du Canada, which included practicing medicine, establishing farming, and a grant of land. However, upon arrival, he was forced to accept a revised contract with reduced benefits. Despite these challenges, Hébert became a significant figure in early Canadian history. He was the first private individual to receive a land grant in the New World from the French government. In Quebec, he selected a ten-acre site for his farm, where he faced opposition from the fur trading company due to his deforestation for farming. Nonetheless, he successfully cultivated various crops (corn, winter wheat, beans, peas, an apple orchard, and a vineyard) and raised livestock, contributing significantly to the colony's food supply. Samuel de Champlain noted that in addition to serving as a physician for the colony, Hébert was the first head of a family in New France to subsist off what he grew.Hébert's contributions were recognized when he was appointed Procurator to the King in 1620, allowing him to intervene in matters on the King's behalf. In 1623, he became the first "Seigneur" of New France with the grant of "Sault-au-Matelot", and in 1626, he received another grant for "le fief de la rivière St-Charles". Tragically, Hébert's life ended on January 25, 1627, due to injuries from a fall on ice. He was respected by both Native Americans and French settlers and was the first to be laid to rest in the new vault of the Recollets. His legacy continued through his descendants, who became prominent in various fields in Canada. Marie Rollet, born around 1580, played an equally vital role in the colony. She provided medical treatment to Indigenous people and educated them in reading, writing, and the Christian faith. Records show she was godmother to many Indigenous converts. Following Hébert's death, Marie married Guillaume Hubou on May 16, 1629. That same year, when British privateers invaded New France, the Rollet-Hubou family was the only one to remain in the colony while others evacuated. Marie Rollet died on May 27, 1649, at the age of 69 in Quebec, leaving behind a legacy of cultural exchange and education. Louis Hébert and Marie Rollet's family played a crucial role in the early history of Quebec and Canada. Their descendants, numbering in the thousands, are spread across North America, contributing to the rich tapestry of the continent's history. They are considered among the first people to settle permanently in New France, laying the foundation for the future of French Canada. | ROLLET, Marie (I13196)

| 1162 | Louis IX commonly known as Saint Louis, was King of France, the ninth from the House of Capet, and is a canonized Catholic and Anglican saint. Louis was crowned in Reims at the age of 12, following the death of his father Louis VIII the Lion, although his mother, Blanche of Castile, ruled the kingdom until he reached maturity. During Louis' childhood, Blanche dealt with the opposition of rebellious vassals and put an end to the Albigensian Crusade which had started 20 years earlier. As an adult, Louis IX faced recurring conflicts with some of the most-powerful nobles, such as Hugh X of Lusignan and Peter of Dreux. Simultaneously, Henry III of England tried to restore his continental possessions, but was utterly defeated at the battle of Taillebourg. His reign saw the annexation of several provinces, notably Normandy, Maine and Provence. Louis IX was a reformer and developed French royal justice, in which the king was the supreme judge to whom anyone could appeal to seek the amendment of a judgment. He banned trials by ordeal, tried to prevent the private wars that were plaguing the country, and introduced the presumption of innocence in criminal procedure. To enforce the application of this new legal system, Louis IX created provosts and bailiffs. Following a vow he made after a serious illness and confirmed after a miraculous cure, Louis IX took an active part in the Seventh and Eighth Crusades. He died from dysentery during the latter crusade, and was succeeded by his son Philip III. Louis's actions were inspired by Christian zeal and Catholic devotion. He decided to severely punish blasphemy (for which he set the punishment to mutilation of the tongue and lips),[1] gambling, interest-bearing loans and prostitution. He spent exorbitant sums on presumed relics of Christ, for which he built the Sainte-Chapelle, and he expanded the scope of the Inquisition and ordered the burning of Talmuds and other Jewish books. He is the only canonized king of France, and there are consequently many places named after him. | FRANCE, Louis IX of (I10401)

| 1179 | Malcolm succeeded to the crown when his cousin Constantine II entered a monastery (943). He annexed Moray to the kingdom for the first time. After driving the Danes from York, the English king Edmund turned Cumbria over to Malcolm, apparently as a fief or seal of alliance. Later, when Norsemen again invaded the land, the Scots sent raids against the English, and in 954 the West Saxon king Eadred reunited the northern counties to his dominions. Malcolm was slain the same year during a rebellion in Moray. | SCOTLAND, Malcolm I of (I7313)
|
| 1180 | Malcolm's long reign, lasting 35 years, preceded the beginning of the Scoto-Norman age. He is the historical equivalent of the character of the same name in Shakespeare's Macbeth. Malcolm III fought a succession of wars against the Kingdom of England, which may have had as their goal the conquest of the English earldom of Northumbria. These wars did not result in any significant advances southwards. Malcolm's main achievement is to have continued a line which would rule Scotland for many years, although his role as "founder of a dynasty" has more to do with the propaganda of his youngest son David, and his descendants, than with any historical reality. | SCOTLAND, Malcolm III of (I915)
|
| 1181 | Man of high social standing but in court a lot; dark side to him and at odds with authority figures. Frequent drunkenness. From GMB (p102): "John Barnes appeared in the court records constantly, giving us a detailed view of a complicated personality. He was a man of high social standing, for he was frequently referred to as "Mr.," and he was a man of wealth who engaged in mercantile activity. But there was a dark side to his character, which placed him constantly at odds with the authorities, and prevented him from taking the place in Plymouth society which should have been his based on his wealth and social standing." "His trading activities are seen on occasion as the records of normal transactions [e.g., PCR 1:9, 13, 138, 2:31, 54], but more frequently when he engaged in some practice which the General Court deemed illegal, or at least unfair." 1 Dec 1640: presented [to court] "for exaction in taking rye at four shillings per bushel, and selling it again for five without adventure or long forbearance in one and the same place" (found not guilty) [PCR 2:5] 2 Mar 1640/1: presented "for selling black and brown threads at five shillingsn, four pence per lb."; (found not guilty) [PCR 2:12); see more examples at PCR 7:120-22. "John Barnes was also in court frequently as either plaintiff or defendant in civil suits, usually over debts arising from his business activities. These cases cover a period of thirty years from 1636 to 1667... "... Barnes was occasionaly in court under accusation of having slandered one of his neighbors. On 9 Jun 1653: accused Winifred Whitney of lying but was unable to bring forth proof and acknowledged his fault in making the accusations. [PCR 3:38] On 1 Mar 1663/4 Samuel Allin complained that Barnes had defamed him by stating that he was one of three men who might have been the father of the child of William Newland's daughter; Barnes wrote an apology, exaplining that he was merely passing on a rumor. [PCR 7:114]" "Evidence of his wealth ay also be seen in the frequency with which he was acquiring the time of servants from other men, or otherwise involved in disputes over his servants... "Another side of John Barnes may be seen in the frequency with which he was called on by others to stand surety for them when they had problems, as on 16 April 1639 when he posted bond for L20 for Richard Derby when he was accused of poisoning John Dunford [PCR 1:121]... "The worst of the difficulties encountered by Barnes were the frequent occasions when he was presented at court for drunkenness... [1638, 1642, 1650, 1652/3, 1659] ... on 10 Jun 1661 the Court ordered that the 'ordinary keepers of the town of Plymouth are hereby prohibited to let John Barnes have any liquors'... under penalty of 50s fine.[PCR 3:219] More: http://www.histarch.illinois.edu/plymouth/BARNES2.htm The following is purely the speculation of one of the researchers, some based on fact, and some based on wild imagination. This should not be used for purposes of reference or research: Given to both "civil" and "less civil" interactions, John Barnes dealt with all walks of life in Plymouth Colony. He was a businessman in the truest sense, even in today's terms. He had enough gumption and gall to poison a snake, and still have some left over to pass around the room (who else would "pet" a bull; granted, the bull "stroked" him back). When refinement was demanded, Barnes was there to muddle through, but he was also a man given to the "darker byways" of colony life,(26) a lover of drink and pipe. Barnes gives us a glimpse at a Plymouth reality that our eyes have not been trained to see. | BARNES, JOHN (I7746)

| 1186 | Margaret de Clare, countess of Gloucester, was the second daughter of Gilbert de Clare and his wife, Joan of Acre. [1] She was reportedly 22 years old at the time of death of her brother Gilbert at Bannockburn in 1314. She was married first to Piers Gaveston, Knight, Earl of Cornwall, on 1 November 1307 [2] at Berkhamsted. They had one daughter, Joan, [3] who was born on 12 January 1312 in York (she died on 13 January 1325). Piers was executed (beheaded) 19 June 1312, [4] and in September the king endowed the widowed Margaret de Clare with lands valued at 2000 marks per annum. In 1314, Margaret was co-heiress to her brother, Gilbert de Clare, Knight, Earl of Gloucester and Hertford, by which she inherited the Castle, borough, and lordship of Newport, and manors of Wentlloog and Machen, Monmouthshire, the Castle and manor of Tonbridge, Kent, and manors in many other counties, including Chipping Ongar, Essex, Campden and Thornbury, Gloucestershire, Naseby, Rothwell, and Whiston, Northamptonshire, Rotherhithe, Surrey, etc. [5] King Edward II was Margaret's uncle. [6]On 28 April 1317, at King's Chapel, Windsor, Berkshire, England, she married her second husband, Hugh Audley the younger. [7] Margaret predeceased her husband, dying on 9 April 1342. [8] At the time of her death she still held several manors in Devon and Newport in Essex as dower lands from her marriage to Gaveston. Her heir was her daughter Margaret, wife of Ralph Stafford, first earl of Stafford, said at the time of her mother's death to be aged, variously, eighteen or twenty years and more. Margaret was buried at Queenhithe, London.[9] Wealth at death: 2000 marks p.a. in jointure with Hugh Audley; share of Clare lands; £1500 p.a. The burial location referred to by Richardson in both Magna Carta Ancestry and Royal Ancestry is actually St. Michael Queenhithe, a church in the City of London in what is now Upper Thomas Street. First recorded in the 12th century, the church was destroyed during the Great London Fire of 1666. Rebuilt by famed 17th century architect Sir Christopher Wren, the church was demolished in 1876. | DE CLARE, Countess of Gloucester, Countess of Cornwall Margaret (I10285)

| 1187 | Margaret de Quincy, Countess of Lincoln (c.1206- March 1266), was a wealthy English noblewoman and heiress having inherited suo jure the earldom of Lincoln and honours of Bolingbroke from her mother Hawise of Chester, and acquired a dower third from the extensive earldom of Pembroke following the death of her second husband, Walter Marshal, 5th Earl of Pembroke. Her first husband was John de Lacy, 1st Earl of Lincoln, by whom she had two children. He was created Earl of Lincoln by right of his marriage to Margaret. Margaret has been described as "one of the two towering female figures of the mid-13th century". | QUINCY, Margaret (I10301)

| 1188 | Margaret is a character in Georgette Heyer's last novel My Lord John, where she is portrayed sympathetically as a kindly though outwardly formidable old lady. She is saddened by the death of so many of her children and grandchildren, in particular the death by drowning of her infant son Thomas Mauny. In her last years she is shown as being gravely concerned for the future of England, due to the misrule of her grandnephew King Richard II. | BROTHERTON, Duchess of Norfolk Margaret of (I8990)

| 1189 | Margherita's obit in Foster's says that she attended the one room school house in Newington, was a graduate of Portsmouth High School with the class of 1941 and the University of New Hampshire class of 1944. She also attended Boston University as a law student. She was working at that time as a title examiner in Boston. During WW II she worked at Camp Langdon and met her husband who was at that time the chief in charge of Navy Detachment at Fort Stark. Margherita was active in Newington affairs as editor of the "Newington Neighbor" for 25 years, member of the town church, member of the historical society and historical district. She was a 4-H leader for Newington and Greenland, and before 1972 when McIntire Road connected the two parts of town, she ran a branch library in her home in South Newington. Although born in Medford, Massachusetts, Margherita and her family moved back to the family homestead in South Newington in 1931. Margherita was a kind lady who was very interested in family history. One of her "treasures" was a bridal crown of woven flowers and ribbons brought back for the marriage of her great grandmother Maria Louisa de Rochemont. Suppposedly Maria's brother Carsten had bought it back from England. | DEROCHEMONT, Marguerita G (I1673)

| 1190 | Marguerite Langlois was born around 1595 in France, likely in Normandy. She married Abraham Martin around 1615, before they immigrated to New France. Key points about Marguerite Langlois include: Family: She was the sister of Françoise Langlois, who married Pierre Desportes. They immigrated to New France together in 1620. Children: Marguerite and Abraham had eleven children together: Jean (baptized 1616 in Dieppe, died in infancy) Eustache (1621-1621, first French-Canadian boy born in Quebec) Marguerite (1624-1679) Hélène (1627-1651) Marie (1635-1699) Adrien (1628-1651) Pierre (1630-?) Madeleine (1640-1687) Barbe (1643-1660) Anne (1645-1717) Charles Amador (1648-1711, became one of the first Canadian-born priests) Pioneer status: As one of the first European women to settle in Quebec, Marguerite played a crucial role in establishing the colony. 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. Death: Marguerite passed away later in 1665, shortly after her second marriage. 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. While less is known about Marguerite's personal life compared to her husband's, her role as a mother and one of the founding women of New France was crucial to the establishment and growth of the colony. | LANGLOIS, Marguerite (I6293)

She sat mostly in the chair by the window and watched the goings-on outside because she was very heavy and had trouble moving around.

| 1193 | Marguerite was born on January 3, 1645 in the Parish of St-Eustache, Paris, Île-de-France, France to Godefroy (aka Guillaume Abraham) and Denise Fleury. Her father was about 30 when she was born, and according to online trees, he died shortly after, in the same year. Marguerite's mother, Denise, was 22 when Marguerite was born. The area in which she lived was the home of France's largest food market. Living in a single-parent household after the death of her father meant that Marguerite probably grew up in poverty conditions, altjhough there is no way to know for sure. Online trees also indicate that her mother Denise died in 1665 at the age of 42. If this is true, it provides context to the reasons Marguerite would have been willing to uproot her entire life for a harsh and distant land, that very same year. She would have had opportunities there that far exceeded what she would have had if she stayed living in France. Marguerite immigrated in 1665, on the ship "Le Saint-Jean-Baptiste, de Dieppe" departing on June 18, 1665 and arriving in New France on October 2, 1665. The ship was approximately 76' x 27.33' and 10.5' in depth and the crossing was made along with 130 soldiers and 81 other Filles du Roi. She brought a dowry of 100 livres with her. An unskilled worker in 1655 France woudl have made about 1 livre per 10-hour day worked, so 100 livres was rather significant and like the other Filles du Roi, this would have been provided by the king. Just one month after she arrived, on November 6, 1665, Marguerite married Joseph Ozanie (aka Ossany) Nadeau dit Lavigne on the Ile d'Orleans. Joseph was born in 1637 in Genouillac, Creuse, Limousin; a small, lightly populated commune in central France with a church dating back to the 13th century in which Joseph was baptized. Much of what we know of Joseph's life is thanks to the research of Ken Roy, published in 1998 as part of the Nadeau family reunion. http://www.royandboucher.com/genealogy/histories/joseph_ossany_nadeau.php Joseph was the son of Macia Nadeau and Jeanne Despins. He was a young man in his early 20s when he immigrated to New France, possibly in 1659 on the Le Sacrifice d'Abraham which sailed out of La Rochelle. It is believed that Joseph worked first as a wagon builder and wheelwright when he first arrived in Quebec, but became a farmer a few years later. After a brief stay in Quebec City, he settled in Chateau-Richer in the shore of the St Lawrence. On February 3, 1663, Lord Charny gave 3 acres of land to Joseph on the Ile d'Orleans in the Ste Famille area, the first parish that had been established on the island. When there were still only about 100 people on the entire island, Joseph cleared his land and built a 20'x15' cabin on what is now lots 224 and 226, just northwest of the Ste Famille church. After marrying in 1665, for the first two years, Marguerite and Joseph lived in Sainte-Famille, but then moved in 1667 to what became Sainte-Laurent after Joseph was granted 7 acres of riverfront that was also 40 acres deep by the Bishop of Quebec. He sold the land in Sainte-Famille on October 18, 1675 to Antoine Dionne (one of Jim's GGFs). Marguerite and Joseph had 5 children together, 4 who survived past infanthood and 3 who survived to adulthood. Our ancestor is Denis, their fourth child, baptized on June 18, 1673 in Sainte-Famille. Joseph died on February 10, 1677, when he was just 40 years old, and was buried two days later in Sainte-Famille. This left Marguerite a widow with several young child under the age of 10. The following year, on January 31, 1678, she married Guillame Chartier. They had no children together. Marguerite died at Beaumont sometime shortly after November 9, 1695 at about 50 years old. | NADEAU DIT LAVIGNE, Joseph Ozanie (I12318)

She also brought several slaves, one of whom was named Nina and lived to be over 100 years old. They are buried in the garden of the DeRochemont home in Newington. Marguerita Mazeau related that her father Percy told her that as Maria Louisa, called Louisa, became elderly, she remained most of the time in the upstairs bedroom in the home where Marguerita now lives which at that time belonged to Louisa's son Clarence. She was afraid most of the time that a strange man was going to get her and would scream about it. Marguerita has in her home a small wreath of dried flowers that Louisa supposedly wore at her wedding, a present from her brother who got it while in England. I do not know if it was from brother Carstin or brother Leonard who died ca 1829. In the 1900 Newington census, Maria L was enumerated with Clarence and his family. It also states erroneously that both of her parents were born in Germany. It also states that she had a total of 12 children and that 6 were living as of 1900. I have only the names of 10 children for her. | DEWIT, Maria Louisa (I775)

| 1200 | Marie Crevet, born around 1615 in Bénouville, near Bayeux in Normandy, 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'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) 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 and Jean had one daughter, Marie-Anne Langlois, who married Jean Côté. Jim has four separate lines of descent from Marie. He is descended from Marie and Robert Caron on the Dumas branch and from Marie and Noel Langlois on both the Vermette and Dumas branches.Jim also has four lines of descent from Noel Langlois and his first wife,Francoise Grenier, all on the Vermette branch. Marie lived to the exceptional age of 86 (or possibly 92), passing away in 1695. | CREVET, Marie (I13786)
