  • Notes 
    • Jean Cloutier, baptized on May 13, 1620, in the church of Saint-Jean de Mortagne in Perche, France, was the son of Zacharie Cloutier and Sainte Dupont. His journey to New France began early in life when he arrived in Quebec on June 4, 1634, with his father. The rest of the family, including his mother and siblings Louise, Charles, and Anne, joined them in 1635 or 1636.

      Marie Martin, born in 1635, was the daughter of Abraham Martin dit l'Écossais (after whom the Plains of Abraham are named) and Marguerite Langlois. She was born into one of the earliest French families in Quebec, her parents having arrived in the colony around 1620.

      On January 21, 1648, Jean Cloutier, at 27 years old, married Marie Martin, who was only 12 at the time. Their marriage contract, drawn up by notary Claude Lecoustre on December 27, 1647, preceded their wedding ceremony at Notre-Dame de Québec. This union, though shocking by modern standards, was not uncommon in the early days of New France, where the need to establish families and populate the colony often led to marriages between older men and very young women.

      Jean and Marie settled in Château-Richer on the Côte de Beaupré. Jean officially received his land concession on July 16, 1652, though his name appears on Jean Bourdon's 1641 map of the Côte de Beaupré. The 1680 map of Château-Richer shows their land, numbered 68, located just east of Sault à la Puce, with a flour mill near the river.

      Over their long marriage, Jean and Marie had fourteen children:

      An unnamed child (1650-1650)
      Jean (1652-1709)
      Marie (1655-1713)
      Marguerite (1656-1727)
      Louise (c.1657-1733)
      Anne (1659-1714)
      Sainte (c.1661-1725)
      Joseph (1663-1671)
      Pierre-Paul (1665-1665)
      Pierre (1667-1703)
      Françoise (1669-1721)
      Angélique-Geneviève (1672-1699)
      Agnès (1673-1761)
      Marie-Madeleine (1676-1699)

      Jean Cloutier was confirmed in the Catholic faith on February 2, 1660, at Château-Richer by Bishop Laval, alongside his parents. As a master carpenter, Jean played an important role in the construction and development of the growing settlement.

      The family appears in several censuses, providing snapshots of their life over the years:

      In 1666, Jean is listed as a 47-year-old carpenter with six children and a domestic servant.
      The 1667 census shows the family with eight children, 12 head of cattle, and 22 arpents of cultivated land.

      By 1681, Jean is 60 years old, with seven children still at home, 2 guns, 14 head of cattle, and 15 arpents under cultivation.

      Jean Cloutier died suddenly on October 16, 1690, and was buried the same day in the cemetery of La Visitation-de-la-Bienheureuse-Vierge-Marie parish in Château-Richer. The burial record states he was 79 years old, though this appears to be an overestimation based on his baptismal record.
      Marie Martin survived her husband by many years, though her exact date of death is not provided in the given information.
