  • Notes 
    • François Bélanger was born in 1612 in Normandy, France. He was baptized on October 7, 1612, in the parish of Saint-Pierre-de-Séez. His parents were François Bellanger and Françoise Horlays.

      In 1634, François immigrated to New France (now Quebec, Canada) as part of a group of settlers that included Robert Giffard, Jean Guyon, and Zacharie Cloutier. They arrived after a two-month sea voyage to the small settlement of Quebec.

      François was a mason by trade. He was better educated than many settlers, as evidenced by his confident signature on documents. On July 12, 1637, he married Marie Guyon, daughter of fellow immigrant Jean Guyon and Mathurine Robin.

      Marie Guyon was born around 1624 in Mortagne-au-Perche, France. She came to New France with her family in either 1634 or 1636. At the time of her marriage to François, Marie was only about 13 years old. Despite her young age, Marie proved to be a capable partner to François and mother to their children.

      François and Marie had twelve children together, ten of whom survived to adulthood and had families of their own. Their union represents one of the earliest families in New France, and their descendants are numerous throughout North America.

      In the colony, François worked hard and became prosperous. The 1667 census shows he owned 50 arpents of cultivated land and 13 animals, making him one of the wealthier colonists. He 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 1677, Governor Frontenac granted him the Seigneurie of Bonsecours (later known as L'Islet).

      François was known for his strong personality. He was described as resourceful and honest, but also authoritative and prone to legal disputes. He had conflicts with neighbors, family members, and even his son-in-law over various issues.

      Marie, on the other hand, seems to have been a stabilizing force in the family. She managed the household and raised their large family while François pursued his various business and civic interests.

      In October 1685, François bequeathed his property to his son Jacques. He died sometime before April 1687. Marie 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.
