1301 | I19423 | PICKERING | John | Abt 27 Jun 1600 | 18 Jan 1669 | 0 | John Pickering was a carpenter who arrived in New England in 1630. He married a woman whose name is lost to history in 1643 and they had five children together. They were among the earliest residents of Portsmouth and there are a number of records of his activities there, including a contract to enlarge a home for Ambrose Gobbons, a contract for his "purchase" of the rights to an indentured servant from Ireland named Dennis Mekermecke, and service as a selectman for four terms (5 years total), among others. We are descended on the Laviolette (DeRochemont) line. |

1326 | I13114 | POULIN | Claude I | 25 Jan 1616 | 16 Dec 1687 | 0 | 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. |

1331 | I7879 | PRATT | Matthew | 7 Jun 1629 | 12 Jan 1713 | 0 | Cotton Mather, in Magnalia, Vol 1, Page 495, writes: "One Matthew Pratt, whose religious parents had well instructed him in his minority, when he was twelve years of age became totally deaf through sickness, and so hath ever since continued. He was taught after this to write, as he had been before to read; and both his reading and his writing he remaineth perfectly, but he has almost forgotten to speak; speaking out imperfectly, and scare intelligible, and very seldom. He is yet a very judicious Christian, and being admitted into the communion of the church, he was therein for many years behaved himself unto the extreme satisfaction of good people in the neighborhood. Sarah Prat, the wife of this man, is one also who was altogether deprevied of her hearing by sickness when she was about the third year of her age; but having utterly lost her hearing, she has utterly lost her speach also, and no doubt all rememberance of everything that refers to language. Mr. Thatcher made an essay to teach her the use of letters, but it succeeded not; however, she discourses by signs, whereat some of her friends are so expert as to maintain a conversation with her upon any point whatever, with as much freedom and fullness as if she wanted neither tongue nor ear for conference. Her children do learn her signs from the breast, and speak sooner by her eyes and hands than by their lips. From her infancy she was very sober and modest; but she had no knowledge of a Deity, nor of anything that concerns another life and world. Nevertheless, God, of his infinite mercy, has revealed the Lord Jesus Christ, and the great mysteries of salvation by him, unto her, by a more extraordinary and immediate operation of his own spirit unto her, an account of her experience was written from her, by her husband; and the elders of the church employing her husband, with two of her sisters who are notably skilled in her way of communication, examined her strictly hereabout, and they found that she understood the unity of the divine essence, and trinity of persons in the Godhead; the personal union in our Lord, the mystical union between our Lord and his church; and that she was acquainted with the impressions of grace upon a regenerate soul. She was under great exercise of mind, about her internal and eternal state; she expressed unto her friends her desire for help; and she made use of the Bible, and other good books, and with tears remarked such passages as were suitable to her own condition. Yea, she once, in her exercise wrote with a pin upon a trencher, three times over, "Ah poor soul!" and therewith, before divers person, burst into tears. She was admitted into the church with the general approbation of the faithful,.....and her carriage is that of a grave, gracious, holy woman." |

1334 | I12883 | PREVOST | Martin | 4 Jan 1611 | 26 Jan 1691 | 0 | Martin Prévost and Marie Olivier Sylvestre Manitouabewich's union stands as a significant milestone in Canadian history, representing the first officially recorded marriage between a French colonist and an Indigenous woman in New France. Born on January 4, 1611, in Montreuil-sous-Bois near Paris, Martin Prévost was the son of Pierre Prévost and Charlotte Vien. Seeking new opportunities, he immigrated to New France in the late 1630s, with his presence first noted in Quebec in 1639. He found employment as a storekeeper for the Company of One Hundred Associates, immersing himself in the bustling fur trade of the new colony. Marie Olivier Sylvestre Manitouabewich entered the world around 1624 as a member of the Algonquin nation. Her parents, Roch Manitouabewich and Outchibahanoukoueou, made the significant decision to entrust their young daughter to Olivier Le Tardif, a respected interpreter and intermediary between the French and Indigenous peoples. This act was likely a strategic move to strengthen alliances between their people and the French colonists, a common practice in Indigenous cultures of the time. Under Le Tardif's guardianship, Marie's life underwent a dramatic transformation. She was baptized with the name Marie Olivier Sylvestre and received a French education, first with the Ursuline nuns in Quebec and later with the Hubou family. This upbringing immersed her in French language, customs, and Catholic faith, while likely retaining some connection to her Algonquin heritage. Martin and Marie's paths crossed in this colonial setting, possibly through Martin's connections in the fur trade or through mutual acquaintances like the Hubou family. While we can't know for certain, it's possible that Martin was drawn to Marie's unique bicultural background, her education, and her ability to navigate both French and Indigenous worlds. For her part, Marie may have seen in Martin a chance for stability and acceptance in the French colonial society she had been raised to join. Their wedding took place on November 3, 1644, at Notre-Dame de Québec, witnessed by prominent colony members including Olivier Le Tardif and Guillaume Couillard. This high-profile ceremony suggests that their union had support from influential figures in the colony. While we can't definitively state that theirs was a love match, the fact that they chose to marry despite potential social challenges suggests a strong personal connection. Martin, at 33, was choosing to marry outside his own culture, which would have been a significant decision. For Marie, at about 20 years old, Martin possibly represented a bridge between the two worlds she inhabited. After their marriage, the couple settled in Beauport, near Quebec City, where they raised a family of at least eight children between 1647 and 1665. Martin continued his work as a farmer and maintained property in Quebec City, while Marie likely managed their household and cared for their children. Their life together wasn't without challenges. They likely faced prejudices from both French and Indigenous communities, navigating a complex social landscape. However, the longevity of their marriage and their apparent stability in Beauport suggest they found ways to overcome these obstacles Additionally, their union, while groundbreaking in many ways, also reflects the harsh realities of life in 17th-century New France. This is particularly evident in the tragic fate of many of their children. Martin and Marie had at least nine children between 1647 and 1665, but the records show a heartbreaking pattern of infant and child mortality: Marie Magdeleine, their firstborn, lived only about two months. An unnamed child, born and died in 1648. Ursule, born in 1649, lived until the age of 11, dying in 1661. Louis, born around 1651, was one of the few to reach adulthood. Marie Magdelaine, born in 1655, died at about age 7 in 1662. Antoine, born in 1657, died at age 5 in 1662. Jean, born in 1660, survived to adulthood. Jean Baptiste, born in 1662, also survived to adulthood. Marie Thérèse, their last child, was born in 1665 and survived to adulthood. This high rate of infant and child mortality was not unusual for the time. In 17th-century New France, it's estimated that about half of all children died before reaching adulthood. The causes were numerous: harsh living conditions, limited medical knowledge, diseases that are now preventable or treatable, and periods of food scarcity all contributed to this grim reality. For Martin and Marie, the loss of so many children must have been a source of immense grief. The death of their first two children in infancy, followed by the loss of Ursule at age 11, and then two more children (Marie Magdelaine and Antoine) in the same year (1662) would have been particularly devastating. Despite these tragedies, Martin and Marie persevered, continuing to build their family and their life together. The survival of their later children - Louis, Jean, Jean Baptiste, and Marie Thérèse - to adulthood would have been a source of joy and hope. Sadly, their union was cut short when Marie passed away on September 10, 1665, at approximately 40 years of age. Martin remarried later that year to Marie d'Abancourt, perhaps out of necessity to care for his younger children. He lived to the age of 80, passing away on January 27, 1691, in Beauport. The story of Martin and Marie represents more than just a historical first. It embodies the complex cultural interactions of early New France, highlighting both the possibilities for cross-cultural understanding and the challenges faced by those who crossed societal boundaries. Their legacy lives on through their numerous descendants, many of whom still bear the Prévost or Provost name across North America. |

John and Priscilla had a large family, with their children including Thomas, John, Nathaniel, Elizabeth, Phoebe, and Sara. In pursuit of religious freedom and better opportunities, the Putnams decided to leave England. They arrived in Salem, Massachusetts, around 1634, where John quickly became a respected member of the community. He was granted land in Salem, which he farmed, and he also held various local offices, contributing significantly to the early governance and development of the colony. The Putnams were deeply involved in the Salem community. John was known for his strong work ethic and commitment to the Puritan faith, which guided much of his life and decisions. He was a freeman by 1635, indicating his full rights and responsibilities as a member of the colony. John Putnam passed away on December 30, 1662, in Salem, leaving behind a legacy as one of the founding figures of the town. His wife, Priscilla, had predeceased him, passing away in 1662 as well. Their children continued to play significant roles in Salem and the surrounding areas, with their descendants becoming involved in various historical events, including the infamous Salem Witch Trials. |

1343 | I11782 | RACINE | Etienne | 11 May 1607 | 24 Apr 1689 | 0 | 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. |

1346 | I9705 | RANDALL | Margery | 7 Oct 1630 | 23 Mar 1693 | 0 | Mary Spinney probably wasn't the biological daughter of Thomas Spinney. She was most likely born from a marriage between Margery Randall and William Norman, which was later found to be invalid. William Norman had married Margery by falsely claiming he was divorced from his first wife in England. This information was discovered, William was banished from the colony, and their marriage was subsequently annulled. By then, Margery had given birth to Mary, who would go on to marry John Fernald. This account is supported by evidence cited in the New England Historical and Genealogical Register (NEHGR, 65: Jan 1911:85). According to the NEHGR, William Norman, under the false pretense of being divorced, entered into this marriage with Margery Randall. Once the truth about Norman's marital status was revealed, the marriage was legally annulled. However, Mary had already been born by this time. Thomas Spinney initially arrived at Chaleur Bay near Gaspe, now part of Canada, and later moved to the Piscataqua Colony at Strawberry Banks, presently known as Portsmouth, New Hampshire. He traveled there on Captain Fernald's ship and eventually settled in old Kittery, now known as Elliot, Maine. Records in Kittery began to be kept only from 1650, the year Thomas Spinney married Margery Randall. Following her marriage to Thomas Spinney, Mary was recognized as Mary Spinney. Thomas and Margery Spinney later had five additional children: Hannah, Samuel, James, Thomas, and John. This part of the story is detailed in the Genealogical Dictionary of Maine and New Hampshire (p. 512). |

1352 | I16321 | REMICK | Christian | 1631 | 12 May 1718 | 0 | Christian Remick, born in 1631, either in England or Holland, made his way to the American colonies, arriving in Maine around 1651 or 1652. Settling in Kittery, he quickly established himself as a vital member of the community. His skills as a planter and surveyor were in high demand in the growing settlement. In 1655, Christian married Hannah Foster, (note that this is not the daughter of Andrew Foster and Ann Alcock as many family trees show her). At the time of her marriage, it is possible that she was Widow Thompson. Christian and Hannah had a large family, including children named Hannah, Mary, Jacob, Sarah, Isaac, Abraham, Martha, Joshua, Lydia, and another Sarah, all born in Kittery. Christian's civic engagement was notable. He signed the submission to Massachusetts in 1652, marking Kittery's acknowledgment of Massachusetts' jurisdiction. He served multiple terms as a selectman between 1670 and 1688, a role that involved overseeing town affairs and representing the community's interests. In 1692, he also served as a representative to the General Court of the Province of Massachusetts. Christian's contributions to Kittery extended beyond governance. He was a landowner, with records showing he received several grants, including a 52-acre plot where he built his homestead. His role as a surveyor was crucial in a time when land management and development were key to the town's growth. Christian Remick's life in Kittery was that of a respected and integral member of the community. His work, both in his professional capacity and as a town official, played a significant role in the early development of Kittery. He passed away after May 12, 1718, leaving behind a legacy marked by his contributions to the early American colonial life. |

The Middlesex County Court Records Folio Collection, at the Massachusetts State Archives, has a petition(Follo 1679-86-4) from the selectmen of Reading on 12, 10mo. 1679, for power to dispose of Hanah Davise, a "wlddow woman" with minor children, "she not haveing whearewith to mainetaine her selfe but her hard labor much less to mainetaine her chlldren...she haveing bene by us warned to put her children out and free us of this truble but yet the matter is neglected..." The Middlesex County court record book adds in 1679 that "The select men of Redding are ordered to dispose of the children of Widow Davis as the law directs. No further record Is found of the Davises in court records. It Is obvious that Hannah probably did not inherit property, land or otherwise, from her husband or her parents. She may well have remarried after 1679, but probably not In Reading as there is no record; the IGI entries for Hannah Davises marrying In Massachusetts during the next decade might be checked for possibilities |

Thomas married Mary (maiden name unknown), possibly in England. Thomas (and likely Mary) and his brother Samuel most likely migrated to the United States five years after their older brother Ezekiel who came over in the fleet with Winthrop in 1630. According to the "A Chronological History of Woburn, Massachusetts" for the years 1640's; 1650's; and 1676; the Richardson brothers were active members of their community and played a role in the building of the town of Woburn, Massachusetts. Thomas and Mary had 7 children together. He died in 1651 and Mary remarried to Michael Bacon in 1655. She lived to 1670. We are descended from Thomas and Mary through the Wright (Tucker) line. |

St. Matilda founded many religious institutions, including the canonry of Quedlinburg, which became a center of ecclesiastical and secular life in Germany under the rule of the Ottonian dynasty. She also founded the convents of St. Wigbert in Quedlinburg, in Pöhlde, Enger, and Nordhausen, likely the source of at least one of her vitae. She was later canonized, with her cult largely confined to Saxony and Bavaria. St. Matilda's feast day according to the regional German calendar of saints is 14 March. | tree1 |

In 1031, after the death of his father the king, Robert participated in a rebellion against his brother, in which he was supported by his mother, Constance of Arles. Peace was only achieved when Robert was given Burgundy (1032). Throughout his reign, he was little more than a robber baron who had no control over his vassals, whose estates he often plundered, especially those of the Church. He seized the income of the diocese of Autun and the wine of the canons of Dijon. He burgled the abbey of St-Germain at Auxerre. In 1048, he repudiated his wife, Helie of Semur followed by the assassination of her brother Joceran and the murdering her father, his father-in-law, Lord Dalmace I of Semur, with his own hands. In that same year, the Bishop of Langres, Harduoin, refused to dedicate the church of Sennecy so as not "to be exposed to the violence of the duke." His first son, Hugh, died in battle at a young age and his second son, Henry, also predeceased him. He was succeeded by Henry's eldest son, his grandson, Hugh |

1375 | I4516 | ROBERTS | Thomas | 1600 | 27 Sep 1673 | 0 | Thomas Roberts served as the last Colonial Governor of the Dover Colony before it became part of the Massachusetts Bay Colony. At the March, 1640 elections, Thomas Roberts was chosen Governor or President of the Country in place of Gov. John Underhill. He held that office until Dover (then Northam) came under Massachusetts rule in 1642. I have seen this written everywhere. Thomas was not a Governor in any sense of the word as we know it today. In March or April of 1640 he was elected "President of the Court" of the Bristol Company, the owners of Dover. This position has been described as little more than head of a group of selectmen. When the Dover Combination was signed on 22 Oct. 1640, there were only about 40 men in Dover. So, as the colony grew in size other men stepped up into leadership roles. Thomas held various minor offices, but never again assumed a leadership position. This is not said to belittle him as he was quite successful, but to style him as Governor seems a bit much, not to mention Governor of New Hampshire, which he most certainly was not. He was said to have come with the Hiltons. Signed the Dover Combination: 1640 Sewell's Hisory of the Quakers says he rebuked his sons for being cruel to the Quakers. |

1377 | I4056 | ROBERTS | Thomas | 1633 | 1703 | 0 | In 1640 Thomas Roberts succeeded Capt John Underhill as the fourth Governor of the Dover colony. Roberts served until the Massachusetts Bay colony achieved its ambition of annexing, in 1642, the Piscataqua River settlements, Dover, Strawberry Bank and Exeter, also Hampton, and making them a part of Norfolk County. He had a leading part in the formation and establishment, in 1640, of “The Dover Combination,” an improved scheme of local self-government. He was one of 21 of the 42 signers of the Combination agreement in 1641, a protest against annexation to Massachusetts. Gov Roberts was not of Puritanic mold. He possessed a liberality of thought which led him 20 years later to embrace the teachings of the Quaker missionaries, who had come here early in the ‘60s, and secured a following from among the orthodox Church people, only to be driven out of Dover in mid-Winter under harrowing conditions in accordance with Massachusetts laws against Quakers. While he sympathized with the missionaries and was fined by being deprived of his cow for attending their meetings and staying away from public worship, his two sons, John and Thomas, both constables, zealously executed their appointed part of Massachusetts’ order expelling the missionaries from its jurisdiction. |

The daughter of Eustache Robin dit Boulé and Mathurine Avrard, she grew up in rural France, developing skills that would prove invaluable in the New World. On June 2, 1615, Mathurine married Jean Guyon in Mortagne, beginning a partnership that would leave an indelible mark on French-Canadian history. In 1635, the couple embarked on a life-changing journey to New France, accompanied by five of their children: Simon, Marie, Claude, Denis, and Michel. This migration was part of the broader colonization efforts led by Robert Giffard de Moncel. Mathurine's role in the fledgling colony was crucial. As the wife of a master mason, she managed their household in Beauport, Quebec, while supporting her husband's work in constructing vital buildings and fortifications. Her responsibilities extended beyond domestic duties; she was instrumental in raising their large family and ensuring their survival in the challenging New World environment. The Robin-Guyon family grew to include ten children, all of whom survived to adulthood. Mathurine's maternal influence and household management skills were key to their family's success and, by extension, the colony's growth. By 1729, just a century after their arrival, Mathurine had 2,150 North American descendants. This number has since grown exponentially, with an estimated 123,800 descendants by the early 21st century. Mathurine's legacy is not just in numbers but in the resilience and adaptability she instilled in her family. Her descendants have played significant roles in shaping French-Canadian society and culture. While often overlooked in historical narratives that focus on her husband's achievements, Mathurine Robin's contributions to the establishment and growth of New France were equally vital. Her life exemplifies the crucial role women played in colonization efforts, managing households, raising families, and building communities in challenging frontier conditions. Today, Mathurine is remembered not only as the matriarch of a vast French-Canadian lineage but as a founding mother of Quebec, whose strength and perseverance helped lay the foundations for the vibrant French-Canadian culture that exists today. |

1386 | I13196 | ROLLET | Marie | 1580 | 16 May 1649 | 0 | 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. |
