| 801 | He was a soldier at Crown Point and Ticonderoga in Capt. Abraham Perham's Co., Col. Pierce Long, Dec. 7, 1776, to Jan. 7, 1777; | ADAMS, Joseph (I600)
|
| 802 | He was also called John on the monument in the Newington Cemetery. | DEROCHEMONT, Charles John Frederick (I902)
|
| 803 | He was at the home of his brother when he died | BURNHAM, Robert (I10128)
|
| 804 | He was called "Capt. Heard" because he was commander of ships in the foreign trade of Dover while in business connection with Capt. Richard Walderne. While he was in the shipping business he lived on Dover Neck, where he lived for 20 years before moving to the house he built on the hill where National Block now stands. He appears to have come to the Dover area in 1655. About 1675 when the Indians became dangerous, he had a stockade placed around his house and it became known as "Heard's Garrison." The next garrison below was that of Richard Otis. Of the five garrisons near the falls, that of Capt. Heard was the only one saved in the massacre of 28 Jun 1689. By some incredible folly two squaws were allowed to sleep before the kitchen fire in each garrison that night,even though fears of Indian troubles had sent many persons into the garrisons each night for safety. Early in the morning the squaws opened the gates to the stockades and let the Indians in, while the families were fast asleep. Elder Wentworthand his family were at Heard's garrison. Just as the Indians were about to enter a dog barked and awakened Elder Wentworth; he arose and closed the gate just as the Indians were about to enter. He fell upon his back and held the gate closed till other members of the household came to his aid. The Indians fired several bullets through the door, but no one was hit. Stackpole notes there were two John Heards - one who was in Kittery in 1640 on Champernowne's Island. He cautions that the other was of Dover and lived at Cocheco. He died 17 Jan 1688 leaving a large family, and it may have been he who owned land and lived in Gorgeana in 1648. John signed the Dover Combination in 1640. In March 1648/49 he had lot No. 8 in Cocheco Fresh Marsh assigned him. He did not appear on the tax lists of 1648, but does appear on that of 1657 and years following. An interesting point to the second John Heard (of Kittery) is that he had a son James who had a son John who had a daughter Dorcas who married a Hugh Tucker in the early 1700s. Could this be a tie to the Kittery John Heard? Pike's Journal notes John died after a short sickness before the massacre.

|
| 805 | He was embroiled in an argument with the archbishop of Trier as to the abbaye Saint-Maximin in Trier which he had avowed.[2] The archbishop excommunicated him and Conrad had to make honourable amends and set out on pilgrimage for Jerusalem to have his excommunication lifted.[2] He died in Italy on the return journey.[3] | CONRAD, I (I17319)
|
| 806 | He was found frozen on St. Pierre lake. He died as he was transported f or treatment. | BERNARD, Jean dit Hains (I1425)
|
| 807 | He was found near death from freezing on Lake St. Pierre and died on th e way to Quebec where he was taken for treatment. Original entry: "tro uvé gelé sur le lac St-Pierre et mort en chemin de Québec où on le mena it pour le soigner" | BERNARD, Jean dit Hains (I1425)
|
| 808 | He was killed by Godfrey II, Duke of Lower Lorraine in battle for Godfrey's claim of Count of Verdun. | LAMBERT, I (I7495)
|
| 809 | He was killed by the Indians while standing in his doorway, Feb. 21, 1676, the second year of the war. His wife was accidentally shot the same day, at Rev. Mr. Wilson's house, and died 29th of Feb. She was confined to the house by sickness, and was in a bed in the chamber, when the gun in the hands of Capt. John Jacob of Hingham, who had charge of a company of about 80 men stationed at Medfield, was accidentally discharged in the room below her, the ball passing through her bed. | ADAMS, Lieutenant Henry (I288)
|
| 810 | He was killed together with his brother Henry VI, Count of Luxembourg in the Battle of Worringen against John I, Duke of Brabant. The Battle of Worringen was fought on 5 June 1288 near the town of Worringen (also spelled Woeringen), which is now the northernmost borough of Cologne. It was the decisive battle of the War of the Limburg Succession, fought for the possession of the Duchy of Limburg between Archbishop Siegfried II of Cologne and Duke John I of Brabant, and one of the largest battles in Europe in the Middle Ages. | LUXEMBOURG, Waleran I of (I17307)
|
| 811 | He was killed, 7 May, 1696, and scalped. Pike’s Journal says, John Church, Sen.: slain by the Indians, as he traveled to seek his horse upon a little hill betwixt Cochecho and Tole-end." That road is the present Arch Street, from Silver to Washington Street. Belknap, in his History, says Church was killed near his house. One tradition says he was killed in Coffin’s woods, at the top of "Much-a-do-Hill," at the west end of Washington Street. | CHURCH, John (I4047)
|
| 812 | He was nicknamed the Bald (Calvus) after his maternal grandfather, King Charles the Bald.[1] | BALDWIN, Second Margrave (or count) of Flanders II (I7171)
|
| 813 | He was slain and left dead on the field during the Yorkist defeat at the Battle of Wakefield, leaving his baby daughter, Cecily Bonville heiress to his barony. | BONVILLE, William (I9192)
|
| 814 | He was son of William and Dorothy (Dixon) Moore who lived below Sentry Hill. Particulars of his captivity are wanting, but provisions for his share of his father’s estate in 1694 were made for his benefit, if he should return to demand it. He was still in Canada in 1711 and how much longer is unknown, or what became of him. | MOORE, William (I4416)
|
| 815 | He was the most powerful man in the kingdom of France (West Francia) during the reign of Louis IV d’Outremer and the early years of King Lothar. Son of a king (Robert I), father of another (Hugh Capet), and brother-in-law of three more (Rudolf of France, Athelstan of England, and Otto of Germany), Hugh possessed such vast territories that he could easily have assumed the crown on the death of Rudolf in 936, though perhaps at the cost of giving up his numerous counties and abbeys. Preferring to work from behind the throne, he instead suggested the accession of Louis IV, son of the deposed Charles III the Simple, who named him, in return, “duke of the Franks.” | GREAT, Hugh the (I7297)

| 819 | Hélène Desportes, born around 1620 in Quebec, was the daughter of early French settlers Pierre Desportes and Françoise Langlois. She is often credited as the first European child born in New France. Hélène's life epitomized the experiences of women in the early days of the colony. She first married Guillaume Hébert at a young age and was widowed by 19, left with three small children. On January 9, 1640, following a marriage contract signed on December 27, 1639, she wed Noël Morin, a 34-year-old wheelwright from France. With Noël, Hélène had 12 more children between 1641 and 1656, including Germain, the first Canadian-born priest ordained in New France, and Marie, one of the first Montreal-born nuns. Hélène's life in New France was marked by the challenges and triumphs of colonial life. She and Noël were granted a pew in the church in 1655, and in 1663, she became Madame de Saint-Luc when Noël was granted his seigneury. Hélène died on June 24, 1675, at St. Thomas, Montmagny, Quebec, at about 55 years old, predeceasing her husband by five years. Her legacy as an important matriarch in early French Canadian society lives on through her numerous descendants, including many notable figures in North American history. Hélène Desportes' life story represents the resilience, adaptability, and crucial role of women in establishing and nurturing the foundations of New France. | DESPORTES, Helene (I14718)

| 822 | Henry de Bohun figured with the earls of Clare and Gloucester among the twenty-five barons who were elected by their fellows to enforce the terms of the Magna Carta in 1215, and was subsequently excommunicated by the Pope. In the civil war that followed the Magna Carta, he was also a supporter of King Louis VIII of France and was captured at the Battle of Lincoln in 1217.[1] He died in June 1220 while on crusade to the Holy Land. | FITZGEOFFREY, Maud (I9285)
|
| 823 | Henry de Bohun was one of the 25 sureties of the Magna Carta in 1215, and was subsequently excommunicated by the Pope.[1] [2] "Henry de Bohun was a member of the Essex-based family grouping brought to the rebel cause by kinship with Geoffrey de Mandeville and Robert FitzWalter. His family also held important blocks of lands in the west of England."[6] In 1215 he joined the confederacy of the barons against the king, and his lands were seized by the king. He was one of the twenty-five barons elected to guarantee the observance of Magna Carta, signed by King John 15 June 1215. In consequence he was among the barons excommunicated by Pope Innocent III 16 Dec 1215.[2] | DE BOHUN, Henry (I9284)

| 824 | Henry Hobbs (also found as Hobs and Hobes) purportedly came from England about 1650/1655 and settled at Dover, NH where he received land grants in 1657 and 1658. He appears on the July and September 1657 tax list for Dover Neck, Cocheco and Bloody Point, and was assessed 5 shillings each date to be paid in goods at rates set by the selectmen for that year. He appeared again in 1658 with the same assessment. On the list published 22 Sept 1659 he was assessed 19 shillings, 4 pence and an additional 18 shillings, each assessment presumably representing two different pieces of property. He was deeded land, owned by his father in law, Thomas Canney, 12 July 1661, the land being located between Quamphegan and St. Alban's Cove (Dover). The lot, which had been granted to Canney in 1656 was assigned as an endowment after Henry married Canney's daughter, Hannah. He was elected 17 Jan 1663 and again on 8 Feb 1667, with others, at a Dover town meeting to serve on the "Jury of Trialls." In 1675 he served on the Grand Jury. Henry apparently had no problem with trespassing on the early land holdings of the Laconia Company, or of Capt. Mason's heirs in the tract lying between his land and the river. Henry used the land for his own purposes and later laid claim to it. Because of his claim, the town of Dover never granted the tract to anyone. In 1687 the circuit judge of Massachusetts, Samuel Sewall, referred to the cove in the lower extremity of the point as "Hobs his Hole, Quamphegan." It was called that because at high tide the water there was 40 feet deep. It faced down river and the location was used to build and launch small sloops and as a fair haven for seagoing vessels. Henry inherited a large part of his father-in-law's estate and resided in that part of town later known as Sligo. Henry Hobbs (also found as Hobs and Hobes) purportedly came from England about 1650/1655 and settled at Dover, NH where he received land grants in 1657 and 1658.

| 825 | Henry is an important figure in the history of the southern Netherlands and the modern countries of Belgium and Luxembourg. He was especially important to the history of the county of Namur, where he was the last member of the first line of counts, and the most powerful of them. His important inheritances were divided again after his death, bringing Namur and Luxembourg to different families. His daughter, born late in life kept Luxembourg and the smaller Ardennes lordships, while descendants of his sister Alice, counts of Flanders and Hainaut, possessed Namur. | BLIND, Henry the (I17315)

| 826 | Henry Langstaff's journey in the New World began with his arrival in the Piscataqua River area, now known as Dover, New Hampshire. Part of the colony sent out by Captain John Mason, Henry was among the early settlers who arrived less than a decade after the Mayflower, marking a new era in American colonization. By 1631, Henry had established himself at "Bloody Point," a promontory near the mouth of the Piscataqua River. His life in this new land was marked by significant contributions to the community. As a "freeman," he played an active role in the governance of Dover, serving as one of the "Select Men" of the community. This position reflected his status and importance in the early days of the settlement. During a time when many Puritans were immigrating to Massachusetts to escape persecution under Charles I, Henry and his fellow settlers in Dover faced challenges to their land claims. The influence of Oliver Cromwell and the Puritans led to the extension of Massachusetts' land claims, overshadowing those granted to Mason's colony by James I. Despite these challenges, Henry and his community stood their ground. The restoration of Charles II to the throne in 1660 brought a reassertion of the Mason grants. In 1665, Henry Langstaff, alongside other Dover Select Men, including Richard Waldron and John Davis, issued a grievance regarding their territorial rights, asserting their claims amidst the changing political landscape. Henry Langstaff's commitment to Dover was unwavering. He served multiple times as a juror and selectman, participating actively in the town's governance and legal proceedings. His allegiance to the Massachusetts government was evident when he took the oath of allegiance in 1652. Henry's life at Bloody Point continued until his death, which came after a fall that resulted in a ten-day illness. Living to be about 100 years old, he was known as a hale and hearty man, embodying the resilience and strength of the early American settlers. His burial at Bloody Point, alongside his wife, Lora, marked the end of a life deeply intertwined with the early history of Dover. Henry Langstaff's story is a testament to the challenges and triumphs faced by early settlers in New England. His life at Bloody Point, his service to the Dover community, and his resilience in the face of political and territorial changes paint a vivid picture of early American settlement and the forging of a new community in a new world. | LANGSTAFF, Henry (I8092)

| 827 | Henry Sherburne, born on March 28, 1611, in Odiham, Hampshire, England, was a figure of considerable wealth and influence in pre-independence colonial New Hampshire. His journey to the New World began when he landed in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, on June 12, 1632, from London. This marked the start of a life that would see him rise to prominence in the early American colonies. Sherburne's lineage traced back to the illustrious Sherburne (or Shireburn) family of England, known for their ancestral home, Stonyhurst Hall in Lancashire. His great grandfather left Stonyhurst for Oxford, England, where he resided in Beam Hall, and his father, Joseph Sherburne, eventually moved to Odiham, where Henry was born. In Portsmouth, Henry quickly utilized his classical education and mastery of court hand. By 1640, he had become a warden of the Church of England in Portsmouth. His skills and knowledge led to his selection as town clerk from 1656 to 1660, treasurer, and commissioner of Portsmouth. In 1644, he was appointed as a judge in Portsmouth, and later, the General Court of Massachusetts appointed him as an associate judge. Henry Sherburne was a significant landowner in Portsmouth. He married twice, first to the daughter of New Hampshire pioneer Ambrose Gibbons, with whom he had several children who later spread throughout the New World. His descendants included notable figures such as Colonel Tobias Lear, George Washington's private secretary. We are descended from Henry and his first wife, Rebecca Gibbons, who bore him several children, including a daughter, Mary, who married Richard Sloper. This union marked the beginning of a lineage that would spread throughout the New World. After Rebecca's death, Henry married Sarah (maiiden name unknown), the widow of Walter Abbott. Unusually, we are also descended through Sarah and Walter, through their sonThomas Abbott, who married Elizabeth Green, and also their daughter Mary Abbott, who married Thomas Guptail. Henry's life in Portsmouth was marked by various civic roles, reflecting his commitment to the community's development and governance. He played a crucial role in shaping the early history of Portsmouth and the broader region of New Hampshire. The end of Henry Sherburne's life was shrouded in mystery. In 1680, he was involved in a legal dispute with Edward Bickford and his wife Mary, who ran a licensed tavern and farm. The conflict began with Sherburne accusing the Bickfords of allowing their livestock to damage his property. Although cleared by a jury, Sherburne filed a second complaint, accusing the Bickford children of stealing pears. However, he never appeared in court for this case, as he died shortly before the scheduled date. The circumstances of his death, so closely timed with the legal proceedings, sparked rumors and speculation among the local community, but the true cause remained unknown. | SHERBURNE, Henry (I15150)

| 831 | Henry Travers, sometimes spelled Travis, originated from London, England. He arrived on the "Mary and John" in early 1634. While some secondary sources claim Irish ancestry, there is no concrete evidence supporting this. The "Mary and John" passengers initially settled in Agawam, now Ipswich, Massachusetts, and in 1635, many, including Henry Travers, relocated to Newbury. There, he received six acres of salt marsh in the Great Marsh and a half-acre house lot near the First Landing Place, along with four acres in another part of Newbury. He was listed as one of the 91 freeholders of Newbury on December 7, 1642. Henry's wife, Bridget, might have been related to Richard Fitts of Ipswich and Newbury, Massachusetts. Richard Fitts' will, dated December 2, 1672, mentions his sister "Travisse's" daughter. The term 'sister' could imply a sister-in-law, suggesting Richard Fitts might have been a brother-in-law or a step-relation. After Henry's departure, Bridget remarried Richard Window of Gloucester, Massachusetts, on March 30, 1659. There's speculation that Bridget might have been previously married to a Goodwin before marrying Henry Travers. It's also possible that Henry had a wife in England before coming to America, but this remains uncertain. In a court held at Ipswich, Massachusetts, on September 29, 1646, John Emery was fined for his misconduct with Henry Traverse's wife, Bridget Traverse, who was also fined for her misdemeanors. Henry Travers was a seaman. In 1648, he traveled to London and never returned, leaving behind his wife Bridget, daughter Sarah, and son James. Before his departure, he wrote a will, leaving various items to his daughter Sara, including livestock and household goods. In 1655, Bridget petitioned the court regarding the estate, indicating that Henry had left seven years prior and she had only heard from him once, five years after his departure. It seems he chose to stay in England, abandoning his family in America. His estate was inventoried on July 15, 1659, posthumously referring to him as "late of Newbury, deceased." At a court session in Ipswich on September 27, 1659, Henry Travers' will was presented but not proved. Administration was granted to his widow, Bridget, now Richard Window's wife. The court ordered the distribution of the estate among the family members. After marrying Richard Window in 1659, Bridget moved to Gloucester. Richard's will, dated May 2, 1665, and proved on June 27, 1665, mentions the Travers children, particularly concerning James Travis's inheritance. Bridget was widowed again and had passed away by November 9, 1673, when her estate was in probate. Administration was granted to Nicholas Wallingford and James Travis. An inventory conducted on October 9, 1673, totaled 11 pounds, 12 shillings, and 3 pence. Testimonies regarding her will were given, detailing the distribution of her estate among her children and grandchildren. Elizabeth Worcester, who later married Onesiphorus Marsh, Sarah Travers' third husband, was involved in the testimony. | TRAVERS, Henry (I8493)

| 833 | Henry was not a popular king and few expressed much grief on news of his death. Writing in the 1190s, William of Newburgh commented that "in his own time he was hated by almost everyone"; he was widely criticised by his own contemporaries, even within his own court. Many of the changes Henry introduced during his long rule, however, had major long-term consequences. His legal changes are generally considered to have laid the basis for English Common Law, with the Exchequer court a forerunner of the later Common Bench at Westminster. Henry's itinerant justices also influenced his contemporaries' legal reforms: Philip Augustus' creation of itinerant bailli, for example, clearly drew on the Henrician model. Henry's intervention in Brittany, Wales and Scotland also had a significant long-term impact on the development of their societies and governmental systems. | HENRY, II (I749)

| 834 | Her birth 20 Nov 1786 and death of 30 Nov 1828 date are from family papers which Virginia DeRochemont had in her possession. The marriage betrothal announcement was in the 31 Aug 1805 issue of the Essequebo and Demerary Gazette. In the US lawsuit filing against Frederic deRochemont, it was stated that MLS deRochemont died 6 Dec 1828, so I will use that legal date. The deposition to the lawsuit said that Maria was not in her right mind at the end. Her estate at death included the land and lot at #10 Werken Rust, the wharf and the passage to the road. Frederic sold the real estate and twenty-five of the slaves and placed proceeds in trust for the seven surving children. | DEROCHEMONT, Maria Louisa Suzette (I1280)

| 845 | HIGHLIGHTS: Arrived in Quebec on June 11, 1636, on a ship owned by the Company of 100 Associates, departing from Dieppe, France. Robert was a farmer; the land he cleared and farmed is now the site of the College St-Charles-Garnier. Marie 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. 10 years after Robert died, Marie remarried Noel Langlois, also a widow. Besides descending from Robert and Marie, Jim has 4 lines of descent from Noel Langlois and his first wife. CONNECTIONS: Robert Caron is Jim's 10th GGF on the Dumas side. 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. | CARON, Robert I (I11373)

| 846 | HIGHLIGHTS: As an interpreter, Jean Nicolet lived among the Algonquins on Allumette Island in the Ottawa River. His natural aptitude for languages and cultural adaptation then led him to spend nine years with the Nipissing tribe near Lake Nipissing. During this time, he not only learned their language but also ran a trading post, becoming deeply integrated into their way of life. Nicollet fathered a daughter, Euphrosine-Madeleine, born between 1628 and 1633 with a woman from the Nipissing nation whose identity is unknown. When Nicollet later returned to the French colony, he brought Euphrosine-Madeleine with him and educated her among the French children; she learned to both read and write, a rarity at that time She later married a French man. In 1634, Nicollet embarked on his most famous expedition. Setting out from Huronia, he traveled through the Straits of Mackinac and became one of the first Europeans to enter Lake Michigan. Recent scholarship suggests that Nicollet may have ventured even further, possibly discovering Lake Superior, Nicollet's journey took him to Green Bay, Wisconsin, where he encountered the Ho-Chunk (Winnebago) people. Nicollet played a crucial role in establishing and maintaining peaceful relations between the French and various Native American tribes. His ability to navigate different cultural contexts made him an invaluable asset to the French colonial enterprise. CONNECTIONS: Jim is descended from Jean Nicolet's Native American daughter Euphrosine-Madeleine. Jean is his 9th GGF on the Vermette line. LIFE STORY: Jean Nicollet, born around 1598 in Cherbourg, Normandy, was destined for a life of adventure and cultural bridging. The son of Thomas Nicollet, a king's postal courier, and Marie de Lamer, Jean grew up in an environment that likely instilled in him a sense of duty and an interest in communication. In 1618, at the age of 20, Nicollet embarked on his New World adventure at the request of Samuel de Champlain. He joined the Compagnie des Marchands as a clerk and interpreter, embodying Champlain's strategy of immersing young Frenchmen in Native American cultures to facilitate trade and exploration. Nicollet's journey of linguistic and cultural immersion began on Allumette Island in the Ottawa River, where he lived among the Algonquins. His natural aptitude for languages and cultural adaptation then led him to spend nine years with the Nipissing tribe near Lake Nipissing. During this time, he not only learned their language but also ran a trading post, becoming deeply integrated into their way of life. It was during his time with the Nipissing that Nicollet fathered a daughter, Euphrosine-Madeleine, born between 1628 and 1633. While little is known about Euphrosine-Madeleine's mother, a woman from the Nipissing nation, this relationship exemplifies the complex personal and cultural connections forged in the early days of contact between Europeans and Indigenous peoples. Notably, when Nicollet later returned to the French colony, he brought Euphrosine-Madeleine with him, demonstrating a commitment to his child that bridged two worlds. Euphrosine-Madeleine was taught to both read and write,a high level of education for the times. In 1634, Nicollet embarked on his most famous expedition. Setting out from Huronia, he traveled through the Straits of Mackinac and became one of the first Europeans to enter Lake Michigan. Recent scholarship suggests that Nicollet may have ventured even further, possibly discovering Lake Superior, surpassing the previous explorations of Étienne Brûlé. Nicollet's journey took him to Green Bay, Wisconsin, where he encountered the Ho-Chunk (Winnebago) people. His diplomatic skills came to the fore as he negotiated and established relationships with various Indigenous groups, laying the groundwork for future French trade and alliances in the region. Throughout his career, Nicollet played a crucial role in establishing and maintaining peaceful relations between the French and various Native American tribes. His ability to navigate different cultural contexts made him an invaluable asset to the French colonial enterprise. After his return to Quebec, Nicollet married Marguerite Couillard, goddaughter of Champlain, and settled in Trois-Rivières. He continued to serve as an interpreter and mediator between the French and Native Americans, earning respect from both communities. Tragically, Nicollet's life was cut short on November 1, 1642, when his boat capsized during a storm on the St. Lawrence River near Sillery, Quebec. He was on a mission to save an Iroquois prisoner from being tortured by Algonquin allies of the French, a final act that exemplified his lifelong role as a bridge between cultures. Jean Nicollet's legacy as an explorer, linguist, and diplomat was crucial in the early French exploration and settlement of North America. His discoveries, interactions with Native American tribes, and the personal connections he forged - including his relationship with his daughter Euphrosine-Madeleine - provide a nuanced picture of the cultural exchanges and personal stories that shaped the early years of New France. Nicollet's life story embodies the complexities of the colonial encounter, highlighting both the collaborative and challenging aspects of European-Indigenous relations in 17th century North America. | NICOLET, Sieur de Belleborne Jean (I18607)

| 847 | HIGHLIGHTS: Claude was a carpenter who had apprenticed while working for the monks at St-Maclou de Rouen in France. When Claude Poulin and Jeanne Mercier were married in Quebec City. in 1639, Claude, a literate carpenter, was 23 years old, while Jeanne, who could not sign her name, was only about 12 or 13. Shortly after their first daughter was born in 1641Claude and Jeanne made a surprising decision to return to France. During their time there, they had two more children: In the summer of 1648, the Poulin family returned to New France. Tragedy struck the family in 1661 when their sons Pascal, 16, and René, 10, either became lost in the woods or were captured by the Iroquois. Claude contributed to the construction of the church at Sainte-Anne-de-Beaupré, both financially and with his carpentry skills. CONNECTIONS: Claude is Jim's 9th GGF on the Vermette/Gilbert branch. LIFE STORY: Claude Poulin, born and baptized on January 26, 1616, in the parish of Saint-Maclou in Rouen, Normandy, located on the Seine River, a short distance from Le Havre. He was the son of Pascal Poulin and Marie Levert. His early education and apprenticeship as a carpenter likely took place under the guidance of monks at Saint-Maclou de Rouen. In 1636, at the age of 20, Claude embarked on a life-changing journey to New France. He arrived in Quebec on June 11, 1636, aboard a ship commanded by Sieur Courpon, part of a wave of new families recruited to bolster the fledgling colony. Jeanne Mercier, born around 1627 in Les Sables-d'Olonne, Poitou, arrived in New France a few years after Claude. Though her parents' names are unknown, we know she had a sister, Denise, who married François Baugis and immigrated to New France around 1640-1641. On August 8, 1639, Claude Poulin and Jeanne Mercier were married in Quebec City. Claude, a literate carpenter, was 23 years old, while Jeanne, who could not sign her name, was only about 12 or 13. Their union marked the beginning of a significant family line in New France. The couple's first child, Marie, was baptized on January 1, 1641, in Trois-Rivières. Shortly after, Claude and Jeanne made a surprising decision to return to France. During their time there, they had two more children: Pascal, baptized on February 15, 1645, and Madeleine, baptized on June 27, 1646, both at Saint-Maclou de Rouen. In the summer of 1648, the Poulin family returned to New France, settling initially in Quebec City. Over the next 16 years, they had six more children: Martin (1648), René (1651), Ignace (1655), Marguerite (1658), Marie (1661), and Pierre (1664). As their family grew, they moved to the Beaupré coast, where Claude received a land grant of six arpents in 1651. Tragedy struck the family in 1661 when their sons Pascal, 16, and René, 10, either became lost in the woods or were captured by the Iroquois. This loss was a stark reminder of the dangers faced by settlers in New France. Despite this heartbreak, Claude and Jeanne persevered. The 1667 census shows Claude as a 48-year-old carpenter and habitant, with Jeanne, 40, and their remaining children. By 1681, their household had changed, with only their adult sons Martin, Ignace, and Pierre still living at home. Claude and Jeanne were active members of their community. Claude contributed to the construction of the church at Sainte-Anne-de-Beaupré, both financially and with his carpentry skills. The couple's generosity and involvement in church affairs suggest they were respected members of their community. Jeanne Mercier passed away on December 14, 1687, at the age of about 60. She was buried the next day at Sainte-Anne-de-Beaupré. Claude followed her just three days later, dying on December 17 at the age of 71. He was buried in the church of Sainte-Anne on December 18. Their nearly simultaneous deaths may have been due to the smallpox or measles epidemics that affected the colony that year. | POULIN, Claude I (I13114)

| 848 | HIGHLIGHTS: François was known for his industriousness and business acumen. In 1647, he secured a loan of 100 livres from Pierre Legardeur de Repentigny to purchase wheat, using all his property as collateral. By 1667, he owned 50 arpents of cultivated land and 13 animals, marking him as one of the wealthier colonists. In 1653, he was elected mayor of the Quebec region near Longue Pointe (now Sainte-Anne-de-Beaupré). François was known for his strong, often confrontational personality. He was described as resourceful and honest, but also authoritative, demanding, and prone to legal disputes. His reputation for litigiousness was well-established, often causing tension with neighbors and family members. CONNECTIONS: François Belanger is Jim's 9th GGF on the Vermette/Gilbert branch and Michelle's 11th GGF on the Laviolette branch. LIFE STORY: François Bélanger, one of the early settlers of New France, was born around 1612, likely in Normandy, France. While his exact origins and parents remain uncertain, records from his confirmation in 1660 indicate he was from the diocese of Lisieux. In 1634, François immigrated to New France (now Quebec, Canada) as part of a group of settlers recruited by Robert Giffard. He quickly established himself in the colony, working as a mason alongside fellow settlers like Jean Guyon and Zacharie Cloutier. On July 12, 1637, François married Marie Guyon, daughter of Jean Guyon and Mathurine Robin. Marie, born around 1624 in Mortagne-au-Perche, France, was only about 13 years old at the time of their marriage. Despite her youth, Marie proved to be a capable partner and mother. François was known for his industriousness and business acumen. In 1647, he secured a loan of 100 livres from Pierre Legardeur de Repentigny to purchase wheat, using all his property as collateral. By 1667, he owned 50 arpents of cultivated land and 13 animals, marking him as one of the wealthier colonists. Throughout his life, François held several important positions: In 1653, he was elected mayor of the Quebec region near Longue Pointe (later Sainte-Anne-de-Beaupré). From 1663 to 1677, he served as Captain of the Militia for the Beaupré coast. In 1662, he was named trustee of the affairs and guardian of the children of Olivier Le Tardif. François was known for his strong, often confrontational personality. He was described as resourceful and honest, but also authoritative, demanding, and prone to legal disputes. His reputation for litigiousness was well-established, often causing tension with neighbors and family members. Despite his difficult nature, François earned the respect of colonial authorities. When the Sovereign Council was founded in 1663, he was referred to as "one of the principal inhabitants of the region" who had the confidence of both authorities and colonists. On July 1, 1677, in recognition of his services, Governor Frontenac granted François the Seigneurie of Bonsecours (later L'Islet). This vast concession, "a league in frontage by two leagues in depth on the south bank of the river," was officially recorded by the Sovereign Council on October 24, 1680. The 1681 census lists the Bélanger family in the seigneury of Bellechasse, with five arpents of cleared land and four servants. François had only recently moved to this new property and begun its development. François Bélanger died on October 25, 1685. In his final act, he bequeathed all his remaining property to his son Jacques, "in return for good and loyal service." This included his lands at Bonsecours, a house, a barn, a mill, livestock, and various equipment. Marie approved this bequest on April 25, 1687, suggesting François had passed away sometime before this date. Marie Guyon outlived François by nearly a decade, passing away on September 1, 1696, at Cap-Saint-Ignace. She was about 72 years old at the time of her death. François and Marie had twelve children together, ten of whom survived to adulthood. Their numerous descendants have played significant roles in the history of Quebec and beyond, contributing to the rich tapestry of French-Canadian heritage. | BELANGER, François (I6318)

| 849 | HIGHLIGHTS: Governor Montmagny granted Jean and Anne an arpent of frontage on la Grande-Allée near Quebec, while Giffard provided them with land in Beauport. However, the threat of Iroquois raids made them hesitant to settle their Beauport concession immediately. Instead, they initially rented a small parcel of land from Noël Langlois, Anne's step-uncle, to be closer to other settlers for mutual protection. Jean built a cabin on this rented land and began farming. Over time, they developed their properties, including a house in Upper Town, Quebec. Jean was known to be a diligent farmer and businessman, selling hay and engaging in various transactions with other settlers. CONNECTIONS: Jim's 10th GGF on the Vermette line LIFE STORY: Jean Côté, born around 1605 in Perche, France, was among the early settlers recruited by Robert Giffard to help establish the colony of New France. He arrived in Quebec on July 20, 1635, as part of the wave of Percheron immigration that would shape the future of French Canada. Anne Martin, born on March 23, 1614, in La Rochelle, Charente-Maritime, France is often attributed as the daughter of Abraham Martin, but there is no evidence that this is true. Jean and Anne's paths crossed in the summer of 1635, and they were married on November 17, 1635. The ceremony, performed by Jesuit priest Charles Lalemant, took place at the home of Robert Giffard, with Guillaume Couillard and Giffard himself serving as witnesses. This union would prove to be one of the foundational marriages of French-Canadian society. The young couple's early years were shaped by the realities of colonial life. In 1636, Governor Montmagny granted them an arpent of frontage on la Grande-Allée near Quebec, while Giffard provided them with land in Beauport. However, the threat of Iroquois raids made them hesitant to settle their Beauport concession immediately. Instead, they initially rented a small parcel of land from Noël Langlois, Anne's step-uncle, to be closer to other settlers for mutual protection.

Jean was known to be a diligent farmer and businessman, selling hay and engaging in various transactions with other settlers. Throughout their lives, Jean and Anne were active members of the growing colony. They had nine children together, eight of whom survived to adulthood: Louis (1636-1669) Simone (1637-c.1700) Martin (1639-1710) Mathieu (1642-1710) Jean (1644-1722) Jean-Noël (1646-1701) Marie (1648-1648) Louise (1650-?) These children would go on to play significant roles in the development of New France, with their descendants spreading throughout the colony and beyond. Jean Côté passed away on March 28, 1661, in his home in Quebec City. He was buried in the church of Notre-Dame de Québec, an honor that reflected his status in the community. Anne survived him by more than two decades, continuing to manage their affairs and see to the establishment of their children. She died on December 4, 1684, and was also buried in Quebec City. | COTE, Jean (I20251)

| 850 | HIGHLIGHTS: Guillaume was a skilled carpenter, seaman, and caulker, Following Louis Hébert's death in 1627, Couillard inherited half of his father-in-law's estate. He expanded these holdings and continued Hébert's agricultural innovations. In 1628, Couillard became the first person to use a plough in New France, significantly advancing the colony's farming practices. By 1632, he had nearly 20 acres under cultivation and owned a flour mill by 1639. During the British occupation of Quebec from 1629 to 1632, the Couillards were the only complete family to remain in the colony, demonstrating their commitment to New France. In recognition of his services to New France, Couillard was ennobled by the king in December 1654. His coat of arms, featuring a dove with an olive branch, symbolized his role as a peacemaker and pioneer. Three years after Guillaume died, Marie sold his house and a good portion of his land to Bishop Laval*, for the establishment of the seminary of Québec. The site of the house is marked today by a cairn in an inside courtyard of the seminary, and Guillaume Couillard has his statue, the work of the sculptor Alfred Laliberté, near Louis Hébert's monument beside the city hall of Québec. CONNECTIONS: Guillaume is Jim's 8th GGF on the Dumas branch. LIFE STORY: Guillaume Couillard, born around 1591 in either Saint-Malo or Paris, arrived in New France about 1613. A skilled carpenter, seaman, and caulker, Couillard quickly became an integral part of the fledgling colony. His marriage to Guillemette Hébert, daughter of Louis Hébert, the first farmer in New France, in 1621 cemented his place in the colony's history. Guillemette Hébert, born around 1606 in Paris or Dieppe, came to New France in 1617 with her parents, Louis Hébert and Marie Rollet. As one of the first European families to settle permanently in Quebec, the Héberts played a crucial role in the colony's early development. The union of Guillaume and Guillemette on August 26, 1621, officiated by Father Georges, a Recollet priest, and witnessed by Samuel de Champlain, marked the beginning of one of New France's most influential families. They had ten children, whose numerous descendants would form the backbone of French-Canadian society. Following Louis Hébert's death in 1627, Couillard inherited half of his father-in-law's estate. He expanded these holdings and continued Hébert's agricultural innovations. In 1628, Couillard became the first person to use a plough in New France, significantly advancing the colony's farming practices. By 1632, he had nearly 20 acres under cultivation and owned a flour mill by 1639. Couillard's contributions to the colony were numerous and varied. He was appointed as a "clerk responsible for inspecting the sown lands and the food of the settlers of Quebec" in 1639. He also engaged in shipbuilding, lime production, and participated in the defense against Iroquois raids. During the British occupation of Quebec from 1629 to 1632, the Couillards were the only complete family to remain in the colony, demonstrating their commitment to New France. Champlain entrusted them with the care of two young Indigenous girls he had adopted. Guillemette was equally active in colonial life, serving as godmother to numerous children, both French and Indigenous, and participating in various social and religious activities. Her role in maintaining community cohesion during the colony's challenging early years was significant. In recognition of his services to New France, Couillard was ennobled by the king in December 1654. His coat of arms, featuring a dove with an olive branch, symbolized his role as a peacemaker and pioneer. Guillaume Couillard died on March 4, 1663, and was buried in the chapel of the Hôtel-Dieu in Quebec, honoring his contributions to that institution. Guillemette survived him by more than 20 years, continuing to manage their affairs and contribute to the colony's development. In 1666, she sold a significant portion of their land to Bishop Laval for the establishment of the Seminary of Quebec. The legacy of Guillaume Couillard and Guillemette Hébert is immeasurable. Their efforts in agriculture, community building, and defense helped transform New France from a precarious outpost into a thriving colony. Today, their descendants number in the hundreds of thousands, and they are remembered as key figures in the founding of French Canada. A statue of Guillaume Couillard stands near Louis Hébert's monument in Quebec City, a testament to their enduring importance in Canadian history. | COUILLARD, Guillaume (I20261)

| 851 | HIGHLIGHTS: In March 1634, Zacharie signed a contract with Robert Giffard, seigneur of Beauport, to work as a master carpenter and land clearer in New France for three years. This decision, likely influenced by the promise of land and opportunity, Zacharie's skills as a carpenter were immediately put to use. He helped build Giffard's manor, the Château St-Louis (the official residence of the Governor of New France), a Jesuit presbytery, and numerous other structures essential to the growing colony. By 1800, Zacharie had 10,850 married descendants, the most of any Quebec colonist according to the Historical Demography Research Program of the Université de Montréal. The Cloutier name is commemorated throughout Quebec, with parks, streets, and even a type of cheese bearing Zacharie's name. CONNECTIONS: Zacharie Cloutier is Michelle's 10th GGF on the Laviolette side and Jim's 10th and 11th GGF on both the Dumas and Vermette/Gilbert lines. LIFE STORY: Zacharie Cloutier, born around 1590 in Mortagne-au-Perche, Normandy, France, was one of the most influential early settlers of New France. The son of Denis Cloutier and Renée Brière, Zacharie grew up in a family of nine children. His father was likely a joiner and ropemaker, skills that may have influenced Zacharie's future as a master carpenter. On July 18, 1616, at the age of 26, Zacharie married Xainte (also known as Sainte) Dupont in the parish of Saint-Jean in Mortagne-au-Perche. Xainte, born around 1596, was the daughter of Paul-Michel Dupont and Perrine, and the widow of Michel Lermusier. This union would become one of the most significant in the history of French-Canadian genealogy. The couple had six children in France: Zacharie (1617), Jean (1620), Xainte (1622, died in childhood), Anne (1626), Charles (1629), and Marie-Louise (1632). Their growing family would soon embark on a life-changing journey to the New World. In March 1634, Zacharie signed a contract with Robert Giffard, seigneur of Beauport, to work as a master carpenter and land clearer in New France for three years. This decision, likely influenced by the promise of land and opportunity, would shape the future of countless French-Canadians. The Cloutier family, along with fellow settler Jean Guyon du Buisson and his family, sailed from Dieppe and arrived in Quebec on June 4, 1634. They were welcomed by Samuel de Champlain himself, marking the beginning of their new life in the fledgling colony. Zacharie's skills as a carpenter were immediately put to use. He helped build Giffard's manor, the Château St-Louis (the official residence of the Governor of New France), a Jesuit presbytery, and numerous other structures essential to the growing colony. His work was crucial in establishing the infrastructure of early Quebec. On February 3, 1637, Zacharie and Jean Guyon officially took possession of their promised lands in Beauport. Zacharie's property, known as "La Clouterie" or "La Cloutièrerie," comprised 1,000 arpents (about 342 hectares). Despite being illiterate, Zacharie was meticulous about formalizing agreements, using a mark resembling an axe as his signature. The Cloutier family's life in New France was not without challenges. In 1646, a dispute arose between Giffard and his recruits over feudal obligations. Zacharie and Jean initially refused to pay homage to Giffard, considering themselves equals. This conflict, which lasted for years, exemplified the tension between Old World hierarchies and New World realities. By 1666, the first census of New France shows Zacharie and Xainte, now 76 and 70 years old respectively, living in Château-Richer. They had moved there sometime after 1652 when Zacharie was granted land by Governor Jean de Lauzon. In 1669, they signed over their possessions to their eldest son, Zacharie Jr., in exchange for care in their old age. Zacharie Cloutier died on September 17, 1677, at the age of 87, and was buried in the church cemetery of Château-Richer. Xainte followed on July 13, 1680, at the age of 84. Their legacy, however, was just beginning. The Cloutier family's impact on French-Canadian society is immeasurable. By 1800, Zacharie had 10,850 married descendants, the most of any Quebec colonist according to the Historical Demography Research Program of the Université de Montréal. Today, it's estimated that a significant portion of French-Canadians can trace their lineage back to Zacharie and Xainte. Their descendants include numerous notable figures, from political leaders like Pierre and Justin Trudeau to entertainers such as Céline Dion, Madonna, and Jim Carrey. The Cloutier name is commemorated throughout Quebec, with parks, streets, and even a type of cheese bearing Zacharie's name. Zacharie and Xainte Cloutier's story embodies the courage, resilience, and pioneering spirit of New France's earliest settlers. Their legacy lives on not just in the countless descendants who bear their genetic imprint, but in the very foundations of French-Canadian culture and society. | CLOUTIER, Zacharie (I5201)

| 852 | HIGHLIGHTS: Jean was a master mason and before emigrating worked on notable projects such as the staircase in the Saint-Aubin de Tourouvre church steeple and the restoration of Mortagne's fortifications. Once in Quebec, he contributed to the construction of a small mill, Giffard's seigneurial manor, the governor's residence (Fort Saint-Louis), and the parish church of Notre Dame de Québec. Jean and Mathurine had 14 children, with 10 surviving to adulthood. By 1729, just a century after their arrival, the couple had 2,150 North American descendants. This number has since grown exponentially, with an estimated 123,800 descendants by the early 21st century. CONNECTIONS: Jean Guyon is Michelle's 11th and 12th GGF through two branches originating on the Laviolette line and Jim's 10th GGF on 3 lines through the Vermette/Gilbert branch. LIFE STORY: Jean Guyon du Buisson, baptized on September 18, 1592, in Tourouvre, Perche, France, was a key figure in the early settlement of New France. Born to Jacques Guyon and Marie Huet, Jean honed his skills as a master mason in France, contributing to notable projects such as the staircase in the Saint-Aubin de Tourouvre church steeple and the restoration of Mortagne's fortifications. On June 2, 1615, Jean married Mathurine Robin dite Boulé. The couple had 14 children, with 10 surviving to adulthood: Barbe, Jean Jr., Simon, two daughters named Marie, Claude, Denis, Michel, Noël, and François. In 1634, Jean Guyon's life took a significant turn when he signed a three-year contract with Robert Giffard de Moncel, agreeing to settle in New France. As part of this agreement, Guyon was granted a one-thousand-arpent arrière-fief in Beauport, near the Rivière du Buisson. This land grant would later give rise to his title "du Buisson." Guyon arrived in New France in 1634, though accounts differ on whether he came alone or with his family. He was part of a group of French pioneers that included his friend Zacharie Cloutier, Marin Boucher, and others who would form the core of the early French-Canadian community. In New France, Guyon's skills as a master mason were put to good use. He contributed to the construction of a small mill, Giffard's seigneurial manor, the governor's residence (Fort Saint-Louis), and the parish church of Notre Dame de Québec. These projects were often undertaken alongside his friend and fellow settler, Zacharie Cloutier. Guyon's relationship with the seigneurial system was not without conflict. He and Cloutier engaged in a nine-year dispute with Giffard over seigneurial rights, refusing to pay annual taxes or perform the traditional "foi et hommage" (faith and homage) ceremony. This resistance to feudal obligations was a common theme in early New France, eventually requiring intervention from the colonial governor. Jean Guyon's legacy in New France was significantly enhanced through his children's marriages and descendants. His eldest son, Jean Jr., became a royal surveyor and married Élisabeth Couillard, connecting the Guyon family to some of the most prominent early settlers of New France. The Guyon family tree has since grown extensively. By the end of the 19th century, Jean Guyon had 9,674 married descendants, making him one of the most prolific ancestors in French-Canadian genealogy. Today, it's estimated that about three out of four Québécois can trace their lineage back to Jean Guyon. His descendants are known by various surnames, including Dion, Despres, Dumontier, and Lemoine. Interestingly, genetic studies have traced cases of Friedreich's ataxia, a rare inherited disease, through 12 generations of French-Canadians back to Jean Guyon and Mathurine Robin, highlighting the far-reaching impact of early settlers on the genetic makeup of the French-Canadian population. Jean Guyon died on May 30, 1663, in Château-Richer, New France. His life and legacy exemplify the challenges and triumphs of the early French settlers in Canada, and his descendants continue to play significant roles in French-Canadian and North American society. | GUYON, Jean (I13703)

| 853 | HIGHLIGHTS: Louis and Marie are recognized as the FIRST permanent settlers in what became Quebec City. The family emigrated in 1617. Louis served as the colony's first physician and apothecary in addition to farming.| Louis was the first private individual to receive a land grant in the New World from the French government. Appointed Procurator to the King in 1620, allowing him to intervene in matters on the King's behalf. There are statues of Louis and Marie (holding her three children), plus their son-in-law Guillaume Couillard in Montmorency Park in Quebec City CONNECTIONS: Louis is Jim's 9th, 10th, and 12th GGF on both the Vermette/Gilbert and Dumas lines. LIFE STORY: 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. | HEBERT, Louis Gaston (I13195)

| 854 | HIGHLIGHTS: Marin was a stonemason and was involved in constructing Robert Giffard's home and eleven houses for other settlers. His expertise was so valued that Samuel de Champlain himself housed the Boucher family in Fort St. Louis until they could settle on their land. Champlain's appreciation for Marin's work was evident in his 1635 will, where he bequeathed Marin his last suit of clothes. The Boucher family home (inherited by Marin’s first wife) still stands in St-Langis-les-Mortagne, France. Famous descendants of Marin and Perrine Boucher include Justin Beiber, Angelina Jolie, Madonna, Celine Dion, Ryan Gosling, and Justin Trudeau CONNECTIONS: Jim's 9th and 10th GGF on the Dumas and Vermette branches. LIFE STORY: Marin Boucher, born on April 15, 1589, in the Parish of Saint Langis, Mortagne-au-Perche, France, was one of the most influential early settlers of New France. A skilled stonemason by trade, Marin's decision to emigrate to the New World at the age of 45 would have a profound impact on the development of the colony and leave a lasting legacy through his numerous descendants. Marin's life took a significant turn when he married Perrine Mallet, his second wife, sometime before 1630. This union came after the death of his first wife, Julienne Baril, in 1627, with whom he had seven children. Marin and Perrine would go on to have seven more children together, forming a large blended family that would become one of the founding families of New France. In 1634, despite his age and established family, Marin made the bold decision to join the Percheron immigration movement to New France. Along with Perrine and three of his children, Marin embarked on the ship Le Petit Saint-Christophe, captained by Pierre de Nesle, departing from Dieppe in April. They arrived in Quebec City on June 4, 1634, ready to face the challenges of life in the new colony. Upon arrival, Marin's skills as a stonemason were immediately put to use. He was involved in constructing Robert Giffard's home and eleven houses for other settlers. His expertise was so valued that Samuel de Champlain himself housed the Boucher family in Fort St. Louis until they could settle on their land. Champlain's appreciation for Marin's work was evident in his 1635 will, where he bequeathed Marin his last suit of clothes. The Boucher family initially settled on land along the St. Charles River, where Marin combined his masonry work with farming. Over time, they moved to Beauport, where by 1650, Marin had acquired a substantial property measuring 1,150 feet wide along the St. Lawrence River and extending four miles inland. This land would become the foundation for the family's prosperity in New France. In 1663, records show the Boucher family residing in Château-Richer, where they were part of a growing parish. That year, Marin and Perrine, along with their family members, were among the 170 parishioners confirmed by Bishop François de Laval in the newly built stone church. The 1667 census provides insight into the Bouchers' success, listing Marin as the owner of 8 head of cattle and 20 arpents of cultivated land. By this time, he had acquired enough property to provide for each of his children and their families, ensuring their future in the new land. Marin Boucher's life came to an end on March 28, 1671, at the age of 82. His burial record, signed by F. Pillion, a missionary priest, speaks to Marin's character, describing him as having "lived as a good Christian" and receiving the sacraments before his death. He was laid to rest in the cemetery of Château-Richer. Perrine Mallet survived her husband, continuing to manage the family's affairs. Her date of death is not provided in the given information, but her role in establishing the Boucher family in New France was crucial. The legacy of Marin Boucher and Perrine Mallet is immense. By the end of the 18th century, their descendants numbered more than 8,500, making Marin one of the most prolific ancestors in French-Canadian genealogy. Today, hundreds of thousands of people across North America can trace their lineage back to this pioneering couple. | BOUCHER, Marin (I20240)

| 855 | HIGHLIGHTS: Noel was a wheelwright who was recruited to come to New France when he was just 20 years old. Noel's wife Helene was recognized as the first European child born in New France. Helene was previously married but widowed at 19 with three young children. She went on to have 14 more children with Noel, although two died in infancy. His descendants, numbering in the thousands, include many notable figures in Canadian and American history, such as Pierre and Justin Trudeau, Jack Kerouac, Madonna, Jim Carrey, and Céline Dion. CONNECTIONS: Jim's 10th GGF on the Vermette/Gilbert branch LIFE STORY: Noël Morin, born around 1616 in Brie-Comte-Robert, Île-de-France, France, was a significant figure in the early days of New France. The son of Claude Morin and Jeanne Moreau, Noël grew up attending the church of Saint-Étienne. His surname, possibly derived from "Morini," an Italian family long established in the region, might mean "brown of skin like a Moor." Trained as a wheelwright (charron), Noël was recruited by Robert Giffard to come to New France. He arrived in Quebec City in 1636, at the age of about 20. His skills as a craftsman were valuable in the developing colony, where transportation and construction were constant challenges. On December 27, 1639, Noël signed a marriage contract with Hélène Desportes, a young widow with three children. The contract, signed in the house of Olivier Le Tardif, included a dowry of 200 livres from a property Noël inherited from his mother in Brie-Comte-Robert. Their wedding took place on January 9, 1640, at Notre-Dame de Québec, attended by many prominent colonists. Noël and Hélène had twelve children together, born between 1641 and 1656. Their family became deeply woven into the fabric of New France society. Their eldest son, Germain, became the first Canadian-born priest ordained in New France, while their daughter Marie was one of the first Montreal-born nuns. In 1645, Noël acquired 50 arpents of land in Côte-de-Sainte-Geneviève, just outside Quebec City. Over the next two decades, he developed this property, building a house, shop, and barn. His success as a settler and craftsman led to further opportunities. In 1663, Governor Jean de Lauzon granted Noël a significant piece of land, elevating him to the status of seigneur. Noël named this fief Saint-Luc and adopted the title Sieur de Saint-Luc. Throughout his life, Noël continued to practice his trade as a wheelwright. In 1673, he was commissioned to make wooden mountings for 24 cannons in Quebec City, a project for which he was paid 960 livres. His expertise in this area is evident in his comment: "I am familiar with these cannons in the Upper and Lower town." Noël was also involved in various community affairs. He served as a witness to several marriage contracts and land transactions. In 1655, he and Hélène were granted a pew by the Fabrique of Quebec in exchange for two arpents of land, which later became part of the Citadel of Quebec. After Hélène's death in 1675, Noël turned to his son Jean-Baptiste for care in his old age. Noël Morin died on January 10, 1680, at the home of his son Alphonse in Montmagny. He was buried five days later in the cemetery of Notre-Dame de Quebec. At the time of his death, he was about 64 years old, though some records mistakenly listed him as 74. Noël Morin's legacy in New France was significant. He is recognized as one of the first 47 colonists of Quebec City, considered founders of New France. His descendants, numbering in the thousands, include many notable figures in Canadian and American history, such as Pierre and Justin Trudeau, Jack Kerouac, Madonna, Jim Carrey, and Céline Dion. Through his life as a skilled craftsman, land developer, and patriarch of a large family, Noël Morin exemplified the spirit of the early French Canadian settlers. His story is one of adaptation, perseverance, and the laying of foundations for future generations in the New World. | MORIN, Sieur de St-Luc Noel I Sieur de St-Luc (I14717)

| 856 | HIGHLIGHTS: On November 20, 1651, Guillaume married Marie-Françoise Hébert at Notre-Dame-de-Québec. His bride was the 13-year-old daughter of Guillaume Hébert and Hélène Desportes. Guillaume was 32 at the time. In early New France, it was not uncommon to see significant age differences between spouses. The legal age of consent was 12. Marriage in New France was often viewed as a practical arrangement rather than a romantic union. The primary goal was to establish a stable household and produce children to help populate the colony. Parents played a significant role in arranging marriages. They often sought to marry their daughters to older, more established men to ensure their daughters' future security and prosperity. Known for his demanding and combative temperament, Guillaume was involved in several legal disputes, suing multipl epeople for various reasons. CONNECTIONS: Guillaume Fournier is Jim's 8th GGF on the Vermette/Gilbert branch. LIFE STORY: Guillaume Fournier, a significant figure in early New France, was born around 1620 in Coulmer-Argentan, Normandy, France, to Gilles Fournier and Noelle Gageut (or Gagnon). While the exact date of his arrival in New France is uncertain, his presence is first recorded in 1651. On November 20, 1651, Guillaume married Marie-Françoise Hébert at Notre-Dame-de-Québec. His bride was the 13-year-old daughter of Guillaume Hébert and Hélène Desportes, and granddaughter of Louis Hébert, considered the first "Canadian Settler." This marriage connected Guillaume to one of the most prominent families in the colony. Guillaume and Françoise had 15 children between 1653 and 1680, though their first child and two others died in infancy. The couple's large family would go on to establish the Fournier name widely across North America. Known for his demanding and combative temperament, Guillaume was involved in several legal disputes. He notably sued Dame Guillemette Hébert, his wife's aunt, over land rights. In 1668, he acquired his first seigneury through litigation, becoming co-seigneur of the Sault-au-Matelot property originally granted to Louis Hébert. In 1672, Guillaume received a new seigneury grant from Jean Talon, consisting of thirty acres along the St. Lawrence River. This land would later become part of Montmagny. Guillaume is credited as the founder of the Saint-Thomas-de-la-Pointe-à-la-Caille parish in this area, where he donated land for the construction of a church in 1685. Guillaume's house in Montmagny, described as a single-story structure with an attic, served as a place for Mass until a proper church could be built. This act, along with his land donation, underscores his role in establishing the community. Guillaume Fournier died on October 24, 1699, in Montmagny at the age of 80. He was buried in Saint Odilon de Montmagny Cemetery. His wife Françoise, who outlived him by many years, passed away on March 16, 1716, at the age of 86. The Fournier legacy continued through their children, with their sons Charles and Jean having the largest number of descendants. | FOURNIER, Guillaume (I13257)

| 857 | HIGHLIGHTS: 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. Their son Eustache, born in 1621, was the first French-Canadian boy born in Quebec, though he lived only briefly. Champlain's will included a substantial bequest to the Martin family, indicating a close relationship. Their son Charles Amador Martin became one of the first Canadian priests.

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. | MARTIN, Abraham (I6292)

| 858 | HIGHLIGHTS: The story of Robert and Anne's marriage is notable for several reasons. Their marriage contract, signed on July 27, 1636, in the home of Seigneur Giffard, is the oldest surviving marriage contract drawn up in New France. What makes this contract particularly remarkable is that Anne was only 10 years old at the time of signing. The actual wedding ceremony took place a year later, on July 12, 1637, at Notre-Dame de Québec. However, due to Anne's young age, the contract included a provision that marital relations were not to take place for two years. This arrangement reflected the complex realities of life in the early colony. Robert and Anne's union produced six children. Tragically, their first child, Agnes, born in January 1641, lived for less than a week. Only two of their children, Geneviève and Jeanne, survived to adulthood. Anne died at only 22 years old. Following Anne's death, their daughters Geneviève and Jeanne were raised by their grandparents, Zacharie and Xainte Cloutier. This arrangement was reportedly due to the grandparents' disapproval of Robert's second wife, Marie Chapelier, whom he married in November 1649. Robert had 8 more children with Marie. CONNECTIONS: Michelle is descended (9th GGF) from Robert and Anne's daughter Genevieve and Jim is descended (9th and 10th GGF) through Jeanne on the Dumas and Vermette/Gilbert branch. Jim and Michelle are also descnded from Robert and his second wife, Marie Chapelier (9th GGF). LIFE STORY: Robert Drouin, born in 1607 in Le Pin-la-Garenne, Perche, France, was among the early settlers of New France. A skilled brick maker, he was part of the Percheron migration that played a crucial role in establishing the French colony in North America. In 1635, Robert arrived in New France, where he began working for Seigneur Robert Giffard in Beauport. Anne Cloutier, born on January 19, 1626, in Mortagne-au-Perche, France, was the daughter of Zacharie Cloutier and Xainte Dupont. She arrived in New France with her family in 1634 at the age of eight. The Cloutiers were also part of the Percheron migration and became close associates of Seigneur Giffard. The story of Robert and Anne's marriage is notable for several reasons. Their marriage contract, signed on July 27, 1636, in the home of Seigneur Giffard, is the oldest surviving marriage contract drawn up in New France. What makes this contract particularly remarkable is that Anne was only 10 years old at the time of signing. The actual wedding ceremony took place a year later, on July 12, 1637, at Notre-Dame de Québec.

Tragically, their first child, Agnes, born in January 1641, lived for less than a week. Only two of their children, Geneviève and Jeanne, survived to adulthood. Michelle is descended through Genevieve and Jim is descended through Jeanne (on the Vermette/Gilbert branch). Anne's life was cut short at the young age of 22. She died on February 3, 1648, in Château-Richer. Her funeral, as described in the Jesuit Relations, was a solemn affair that involved the entire community. The description provides a vivid glimpse into the funeral customs of early New France, highlighting the challenges posed by the harsh winter conditions and the limited resources of the colony. Following Anne's death, their daughters Geneviève and Jeanne were raised by their grandparents, Zacharie and Xainte Cloutier. This arrangement was reportedly due to the grandparents' disapproval of Robert's second wife, Marie Chapelier, whom he married in November 1649. Robert Drouin continued to play an active role in the development of New France. He remained in his trade as a brick maker, contributing to the construction of many early buildings in the colony. He also engaged in fur trading and farming. Robert lived to the age of 78, passing away on June 1, 1685, in Château-Richer. The story of Robert Drouin and Anne Cloutier exemplifies the challenges and complexities of life in early New France. Their marriage, arranged when Anne was still a child, reflects the strategies employed by early settlers to establish and strengthen the colony. Despite the hardships they faced, including the loss of children and Anne's early death, their legacy lived on through their surviving daughters and numerous descendants. | DROUIN, Robert (I5177)

| 859 | HIGHLIGHTS: Their daughter Hélène, born on July 7, 1620, was the first European child born in what would become Canada. Hélène's godmother wasHélène Boullé, the wife of Samuel de Champlain. Pierre wore many hats in the struggling colony. He managed a warehouse for storing fur pelts destined for export, served as the settlement's baker, and as he was one of the few literate settlers, was even involved in correspondence with France regarding the colony's condition. CONNECTIONS: Jim's 10X and 11X GGF on the Vermette/Gilbert branch. LIFE STORY: Pierre Desportes, born around 1594 in France, was one of the earliest settlers in Samuel de Champlain's vision for a New France. Though his exact origins are unclear, Pierre was known to be literate, suggesting he received some education - a rarity for his time. He married Françoise Langlois, likely between 1617 and 1620 in France, before embarking on their life-changing journey to the New World. The couple arrived at the fledgling Habitation de Quebec in 1619, accompanied by Françoise's sister Marguerite and her husband Abraham Martin. In this remote outpost on the St. Lawrence River, Pierre and Françoise became integral members of the small community. Their importance was underscored when Françoise gave birth to Hélène on July 7, 1620 - the first European child born in what would become Canada. Hélène's godmother was none other than Hélène Boullé, the wife of Samuel de Champlain himself. Pierre wore many hats in the struggling colony. He managed a warehouse for storing fur pelts destined for export, served as the settlement's baker, and was even involved in correspondence with France regarding the colony's condition. His literacy made him valuable in a community where few could read or write. Pierre was also associated with the Company of One Hundred Associates, though his exact role remains debated by historians. Life in New France was challenging. By 1625, only seven families resided in the settlement. The Desportes family's time in Quebec came to an abrupt end in 1629 when English forces led by David Kirke captured the outpost. Along with most other colonists, Pierre, Françoise, and young Hélène were forcibly repatriated to France via England. Tragically, neither Pierre nor Françoise would return to the land they had helped pioneer. Pierre is believed to have died in Dieppe, France between 1629 and 1634, while Françoise passed away in 1632. Their daughter Hélène, however, would return to New France, likely under the guardianship of her aunt and uncle, Marguerite Langlois and Abraham Martin. Despite their brief time in New France, Pierre and Françoise left an enduring legacy. Through Hélène's two marriages, first to Guillaume Hébert and then to Noël Morin, they became the ancestors of numerous individuals in North America, including several notable figures in entertainment, politics, and other fields. | DESPORTES, Pierre-Philippe (I14701)

| 860 | 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. | RACINE, Etienne (I11782)

| 861 | HIGHLIGHTS: Was one of the very first interpreters between the French and the indigenous people, particularly the Montagnais and Algonquin.His experience and knowledge of Indigenous languages and cultures made him an important figure in the development of New France. After he married, he became a clerk for the Company of One Hundred Associates and later operated his own trading business. His influence in the fur trade earned him the nickname "the little king of Tadoussac CONNECTIONS: Michelle's 10th GGF on the Laviolette side. LIFE STORY: Nicolas Marsolet, born in Rouen in 1601, was among the first and most influential interpreters in New France. His arrival in the colony, likely in 1613 with Samuel de Champlain, marked the beginning of a long and complex career that spanned the formative years of French settlement in North America. As one of the earliest interpreters, Marsolet played a crucial role in bridging the cultural and linguistic gap between the French and Indigenous peoples, particularly the Montagnais and Algonquin. His activities took him to various key locations in New France, including Tadoussac, Quebec, Trois-Rivières, and Algonquin villages along the Ottawa River. Marsolet's reputation was not without controversy. Champlain accused him of living among the Indigenous people "in the greatest licence" and pursuing profits at any cost. These accusations culminated during the Kirke brothers' occupation of Quebec from 1629 to 1632, when Marsolet chose to remain and work with the English. Displeased by this 'treachery', Champlain met Marsolet at Tadoussac and, according to Champlain's diary, Marsolet and another interpreter and also deserter, Étienne Brûlé, both said, "We know quite well that if they had us in France they would hang us; we are very sorry for that, but the thing is done; we have mixed the cup and we must drink it, and make up our minds ever to return to France; we shall manage to live notwithstanding" While Champlain viewed this as betrayal, some historians, like Dionne, suggest that Marsolet's decision may have been motivated by a desire to maintain continuity in the colony's development rather than abandon it entirely. A notable incident involving Marsolet occurred when he intervened in Champlain's plan to take two Indigenous girls, Charité and Espérance, to France. Marsolet conveyed a request from Indigenous elders to return the girls to their village, likely agreeing that a life in Paris would not be in their best interests. This action, while angering Champlain, demonstrated Marsolet's deep understanding of and respect for Indigenous cultures. After the French regained control of Quebec, Marsolet initially maintained his distance from the colonial authorities and missionaries. He was known for his reluctance to share his linguistic knowledge, with the Jesuit Paul Le Jeune noting in 1633 that Marsolet had sworn never to teach the "Savage tongue" to anyone. This stance reflected the complex dynamics between fur traders, settlers, and missionaries in the colony. However, following Champlain's death in 1635, Marsolet's approach changed. He began to settle into colonial life, marrying Marie Le Barbier in 1637 and receiving the seigneury of Bellechasse. Over time, he acquired numerous land grants, though his primary focus remained on the fur trade and commerce. Marsolet's career continued to evolve. He became a clerk for the Company of One Hundred Associates and later operated his own trading business. His influence in the fur trade earned him the nickname "the little king of Tadoussac." Despite his commercial success, Marsolet showed little interest in developing most of his land grants, with the exception of his property on the Sainte-Geneviève hill. Throughout his life, Marsolet maintained his role as an interpreter, a skill that remained valuable to both civil and religious authorities. His experience and knowledge of Indigenous languages and cultures made him an important figure in the development of New France. Nicolas Marsolet died in Quebec City on May 15, 1677, leaving behind a complex legacy. As one of the last living links to the earliest days of French settlement in Canada, his life story embodies the challenges, contradictions, and adaptations required of those who bridged two worlds in the creation of New France. Despite the controversies surrounding some of his actions, Marsolet's contributions as an interpreter and his role in the early fur trade were instrumental in shaping the foundations of French-Indigenous relations in North America. | MARSOLET DE SAINT-AIGNAN, Nicolas (I15250)

The Indians concealed themselves. One of them fired. With a view to induce the men to discharge their pieces, which they did. The enemy then rushed upon them before they could load again.

| 870 | Historians disagree extensively on the character of Leofric. Folklore tends to depict him as an unfeeling overlord who imposed over-taxation, whereas many historians object to this, and consider it as part of the Lady Godiva myth; they suggest that he was a strong and respected leader. There is also great disagreement over his reputation as a military leader: some historians believe Leofric to have been weak in this respect, but others go as far as to give him the title 'Hammer of the Welsh'. | LEOFRIC (I9292)

| 874 | Hon John 4 Gilman. Councillor. From the New England family History John 1 Gilman, the second son of Edward 3Gilman, Sr., was born in Hingham, Norfolk, England, Janu- ary 10th, 1624, and was there baptized 23 May, 1626. came to Exeter before 1650, and immediately became a prominent citizen. From the first he was concerned with his brother Edward in mills and lumber. After Edward was lost at sea in 1653, he inherited much of the latters' property, and took his place in devel- oping the resources of the town. He was chosen se- lectman more than one-half the years between 1650 and 1680: was repeatedly elected commissioner to end small causes ; and appointed upon committees to care for the town's interests. He had several handsome grants of land from the town, and a special right of a gristmill. In the two years before New Hamp- shire was emancipated from the Massachusetts gov- ernment he held the office of associate (judge) of the old Norfolk county court. In 1680 Mr. Gilman was made a councillor of the newly erected province of New Hampshire, and in 1682 a judge of the Court of Pleas; but in 1683 he was by Governor Cranfield relieved of both offices*. * "At last, after a struggle of many years' duration, the union of the two colonies was dissolved by order of the king. New Hampshire was erected into a royal province, under a president and six councilors, with It is needless to say that his reputation in theprovince did not suffer by reason of his removal. In 1693 he was chosen by his townsmen a delegate to the Assem- bly, and was made Speaker of the House, and again chosen in 1697. He married, June 30th. 1657, Elizabeth, daughter of James Treworgy (sec) (from which came the popular Christian name ofTrueworthy), and had six sons and ten daughters, and very numerous descen- dants. He built the "log house" oppositethe Great Bridge, which is still standing. He died July 24th, 1708, (C. H. Bell, History of Exeter. X. H, 1888.) The oldest house in town is undoubtedly that on the northerly corner of Water and Clifford Streets, now owned by Manly W. Darling. It was built by Councillor John Oilman. He was living in it in 1676, and there is ground for the belief that it dates back to 1658. It was constructed of square logs, the upper story projected a foot or more beyond the lower and the windows were scarcely more than loopholes. It was thus completely adapted for the defence of its in- mates against the attacks of savages, and is known as a "garrison house." (Picture opp. p. 530.) an assembly of eleven deputies. The commission was scaled 18 September. 1679. Guns were fired here upon receipt of the tidings. John Cutt was appointed president; Martyn, Vaughan and Daniel of Ports- mouth. GUman of Exeter, Hussey of Hampton, and Waldron of Dover were named as the council. Sin- gular to state, they were every one a firm friend of the Bay Colony. President Cutt lived but a year after taking office. Waldron succeeded him for a short term, when there came upon the stage one of the most restless, strong-willed and zealous representatives of royal authority that ever crossed the Atlantic." ( Ad- dress of F. W. Hackett at 200th Anniversary of the town of New Castle, N. II.. 1803.) 536 The original structure was small, and constitutes the main body of the present house. No doubt ad- ditions must have been soon made to it, for the first occupant had sixteen children, all but four of whom lived to maturity. The wing which protrudes towards the street was a much later apendage. In this wooden castle lived Councillor Gilman till his death in 1708. The place after 178S went into the possession of Ebenezer Clifford, whoremoved from Kensington to Exeter about that time. (Bell's Exeter.) The children of Hon.

| 877 | How many Jonathan Ellises are there? In 1810 there was a Jonathan Ellis in Rochester, and none in Maine. In 1820, there is no Jonathan in Rochester, but one in Rome, ME, living next door to Thomas Rankins, Samuel Bickford and Ephraim Mosher. Jonathan lived in Rome, or Waterville, at least through 1850. From 1820 on he lives near the Rankins family. The IGI shows Jonathan's spouse was Mary Jane Rankins. She is called Jane in the 1850 and 1860 census. We can only assume that Jonathan first married Jane (Jenny) Hartford, then married Mary Jane Rankins, though there is no clear break in the children's ages, nor is there any death or marriage record. Of course, there could have been two Jonathans! This Jonathan also could have been the son or grandson, of the Jonathan whom we have listed as this Jonathan's father. In 1830 they lived next door to George W. Mosher and Daniel Stevens and two doors from Joseph Rankins and Nathaniel Tuttle. In 1820, a man born between 1765 and 1794 lived with them. Could this have been Jonathan's father, Jonathan?
