Marie Trotin (1646-1682)

Marie-Madeleine Triot was on January 01, 1646 in Bournezeau, La Roche-sur-Yon, Lucon, Poitou, France; the daughter of Jean Trotin and Madeleine Blanchard.  She arrived in the Quebec Colony as a Filles A Marier, contracted to be the bride of Michel Bouchard.  They were married December 02, 1662 in Chateau-Richer.

Michel was born in 1635 at Andilly L'Marais, La Rochelle, Aunis, France; the son of Clement Bouchard and Louise Brillard.  A younger brother Nicolas also settled in Quebec, marrying Anne Roy.

Michel and Marie would have eight children.  There is a funny story about Marie Trotin.  In 1667, she was charged with the assault and battery of Nicolas Huot dit Saint-Laurent, Sergent de Beaupre.   Apparently she and three other women were accused of spanking the man.  All were found guilty and had to make a public apology on the steps of the Chateau-Richer church, as well as make an "offering" to the shrine at
Sainte-Anne-de-Beaupre.

Marie died on October 27, 1682 at Chateau-Richer and soon after her husband married Suzanne Laporte.  He died on April 14, 1709 at Hotel Dieu in Ville De Quebec.
