302	I11373	CARON	Robert	Abt 1613	8 Jul 1656	0	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.	tree1

The marriage was known to be particularly close, and Eleanor travelled extensively with her husband. She was with him on the Eighth Crusade, when he was wounded at Acre, but the popular story of her saving his life by sucking out the poison has long been discredited. When she died, near Lincoln, her husband famously ordered a stone cross to be erected at each stopping-place on the journey to London, ending at Charing Cross.	tree1

308	I8348	CHADBOURNE	William	30 Mar 1582	Aft 20 Dec 1652	0	William Chadbourne, baptized on March 30, 1582, in Tamworth, Warwickshire, England, was a pivotal figure in the early colonization of New England. He was the son of Robert and Margery or Margaret (Dooley) Chadbourne. William married Elizabeth Sparry on October 8, 1609, in Tamworth. The couple had several children, but Elizabeth's life after their marriage remains largely undocumented, including her death date and place. In 1634, William arrived in New England aboard the ship "Pied Cow" with James Wall and John Goddard. They were under a contract with Captain John Mason of London's Laconia Company to build mills in Berwick. William, a master carpenter, played a significant role in constructing the first water-powered sawmill and gristmill in New England, starting on July 22, 1634. The house William built in Berwick, Maine, is believed to be the oldest in the state, with part of its foundation under a house at the northwest corner of Brattle and Vine Streets. This property was later deeded to his son-in-law, Thomas Spencer. The Chadbournes were not religious dissenters but members of the Church of England, possibly planning to return to England after fulfilling their contract with Mason. William's involvement in the construction of the Great House at Strawbery Banke (now Portsmouth, NH) is a subject of conjecture. While some sources attribute the building to his son Humphrey, it's more likely that William, given his expertise, was responsible for its construction. William's life in New England was marked by his active participation in community affairs. He was accused, along with his sons, by Mrs. Ann (Green) Mason, widow of Captain John Mason, of embezzling her husband's estate. However, their claim was upheld by the selectmen of Kittery and the Government of the Massachusetts Bay in New England. William was also involved in the establishment of a meeting house in Kittery and was a signatory of the Kittery Act of Submission in 1652. His last known appearance in records was on November 16, 1652. William Chadbourne's children, all baptized in Tamworth, include Patience, from whom we are descended. -------- The house William built may be the one said by Stackpole in 1926 to be the oldest house in Maine. Part of its foundation is under the present house on the northwest corner of Brattle and Vine Streets on the road from the Lower Landing (Hamilton House) to the original mill site at Asbenbedick (later Great Works) Falls. William Chadbourne deeded the home to his son-in-law, Thomas Spencer, and a nice picture of it appeared in the Boston Evening Transcript of 25 Jun 1938. Other accounts suggest that the property occupied by Spencer was actually a second, later house, and that the early home stood in the northwesterly angle of the intersection of Brattle Street leading to the mouth of the Great Works River and the highway to Eliot. The Asbenbedick Great Works was the site of a mill with nineteen saws built by the Leader brothers in the 1650s. The river was called Chadbournes River by many before and after, due to the Chadbourne dam and mill erected downstream in the late 1630s. ------	tree1

310	I2587	CHAMPNEY	Richard	1604	26 Nov 1669	0	Richard and Jane (unknown maiden name) Champney married in 1629 and had 6 children together, 2 born in England and 4 in Cambridge. The growing family emigrated on the Defence in1635 and setted in Cambridge, Massachusetts Bay where he became the ruling elder of the Cambridge church. And, like almost all the first settlers, he was a farmer. Richard engaged in numerous land transactions, being granted or purchasing hundreds of acres in Cambridge and Billerica. The inventory after his death in 1669 (Jane died the same year) listed real estate in Cambridge valued at over 1200 pounds and in Billerica valued at 410 pounds, making him one of the richest men in Massachusetts Bay.We are descended from Richard and Jane on the Wright (Tucker) side.	tree1
311	I11228	CHANDLER	Roger	4 Apr 1580	Between 1658 and 3 Oct 1665	0	Birth: 1580 Colchester Essex, EnglandDeath: 1665 Duxbury Plymouth County Massachusetts, USA Roger Chandler of Colchester England, married Isabella Chilton at Leiden, Holland on 21 July 1615. Isabella Chilton was the older daughter of Mayflower passengers James and Susanna Chilton. He was taxed in Plymouth 25 March 1633, and listed as a freeman the same year. This is believed to be the earliest record of him in New England. He was enumerated among those able to bear arms in Duxbury in 1643, and sold land there in 1644. He was listed among freemen of Duxbury in a tally presumed taken in 1658. In October 1665 the Plymouth Court granted 150 acres of land to the three (unnamed) daughters of Roger Chandler deceased. At least four children of Roger and Isabella have been identified: 1. Samuel was born in Leiden before 15 Oct 1622. 2. Sarah was born in Leiden before 15 Oct 1622. She married Solomon Leonard/Leonardson about 1640 and had six children. He died in Bridgewater before 1 May 1671. She died in Bridgewater before 27 Oct 1675. 3. Martha was born probably in the late 1620s. She married John Bundy by 1649 and had six children. She died in Taunton on 1 May 1674. He died in Taunton in 1681. 4. Mary was likely born in the late 1620s. She married Edmund Bruff by 1653 and had one son. She probably is the "Mary, wife of Edmund Burfe" who died in Boston on August 15, 1658. Part of the evidence for these children is a deed from Plymouth Colony to the daughters dated October 1665 in which Roger Chandler is reported to be deceased. Roger died probably at Duxbury, between 1658 and Oct 3, 1665.

312	I55	CHARLEMAGNE		2 Apr 742	28 Jan 814	0	Charles, the King of the Franks, was the first leader since the fall of the Roman Empire to rule over a united Western Europe, branding his legend and legacy over a geography that would today cover what is now Belgium, Luxembourg, France, the Netherlands, and western Germany. Charles’ goal was to unite all the Germanic people into a single Christian kingdom. However, Charlemagne perceived a purpose to Christian living apart from its spiritual benefits; his sense of order realized that people who lived by a uniform code of behavior served the nation better. Charles the Great reconfigured the map of Western Europe with his military conquests, restored Latin as the language of the educated, and bolstered the Papacy with his armies. He married often and fathered many children, some legitimate, some not; he lived long and, during his lifetime, his Empire flourished. But his heirs could not sustain his greatness -his unification of Western Europe did not last. His legend, however, is eternal. He is such an integral figure in medieval history that, had he not been born, lived, and ruled, the destiny of Europe would have been altered. He is regarded not only as the father of Europe, because he unified the continent from the North Sea to the Mediterranean Sea for the first time since Rome fell, but also as the father of modern France and Germany.	tree1

316	I13021	CHATAIGNE	Marie	Abt 1622	21 Feb 1699	0	Pierre Lefebvre, born around 1627 in Villers-sur-Mer, Normandy, France, was the son of Nicolas Lefebvre and Marie Vauverin. A master carpenter by trade, Pierre arrived in New France around 1652, settling in the village of Fargy in Beauport. Marie Chataigne, born about 1622 in Bournevaux (or Bournezeau), Aunis, France, was the daughter of Nicolas Chataigne and Catherine Sionnel (or Lionelle). Marie likely came to New France as a fille à marier, one of the young women sent to the colony to help establish families. On August 17, 1656, Pierre and Marie were married at Notre-Dame de Québec. Their union produced three children: Marie (baptized June 20, 1657, but died two days later), Jean-Baptiste (baptized June 24, 1658), and a second Marie (baptized July 6, 1664). The 1667 census shows the family living in Fargy, with Pierre listed as a 45-year-old carpenter. Tragedy struck the family on August 30, 1687, when Pierre Lefebvre was found dead in his barn at Beauport. The circumstances of his death led to a complex legal battle that sheds light on the harsh realities of colonial justice. Initially, Pierre was quickly buried. However, on September 26, 1687, the sénéchal of Beauport declared Pierre's death a suicide resulting from madness. This ruling had severe consequences. The sénéchal ordered that Pierre's body be exhumed, dragged through the town twice, and then hung by the feet on a scaffold in front of his barn. Furthermore, all of Pierre's property was to be confiscated by the seigneur of Beauport, Joseph Giffard. Marie was accused of covering up the suicide and was to lose her rights to their communal property and pay a fine of 20 livres. The family, led by Pierre's son-in-law Jean Clouet (husband of their daughter Marie), appealed this harsh sentence to the Conseil Souverain on October 13, 1687. In a strategic move, they requested that several council members recuse themselves due to their connections with the seigneur of Beauport. On October 20, 1687, the Conseil Souverain overturned the lower court's ruling. They ordered that Marie be absolved of liability for court costs, that the confiscated property and fines be returned to her, and granted permission for Pierre's body to be exhumed and reburied in consecrated ground. Pierre Lefebvre was finally laid to rest with dignity on October 25, 1687, in the cemetery of Beauport. This incident highlights the complexities of colonial law and the harsh treatment of suicide in 17th-century New France. It also demonstrates the resilience of Marie Chataigne and her family in fighting for justice and dignity in the face of tragedy. After these tumultuous events, Marie continued to manage her affairs. She made her will before notary Charles Rageot on January 22, 1699. Marie Chataigne passed away in Québec City at the home of her daughter Marie and son-in-law Jean Clouet on Rue Sault-au-Matelot. She was buried on February 21, 1699, in Québec City, bringing to a close a life marked by both hardship and perseverance in the challenging environment of early New France.	tree1
317	I19697	CHATEL	Thomine	Abt 1600	Aft 1667	0	Thomine's first husband died shortly after they were married, when she was pregnant with her second child. S quickly remarried as was necessary and expected in those days. Her second husband abandoned her by 1638, leaving her alone to care for her young daughter and son. As she was still technically married, she was unable to remarry and in May 1642 she requested and was given permission from governemnt authorities to sell the belonging she jointly ownder with her husband, as she needed the money. She received only 12 livres, an amount that illustrates her poverty. In 1646, she was recruited by Noel Juchareau, a recruiter for New France. He had been a witness at her second marriage, so he was someone Thomine knew. On March 16, 1646 she arranged to rent her farm to Giles Chastel and did something almost no woman woudl do at that time, boarding a ship with her two teenaged children, bound for New France. It is believed that they sailed on the La Marguerite that arrived in Quebec on August 6, 1647. Her daughter Francoise married soon after arriving in Quebec, and Thomine mostly likely lived with her. In 1656, she was one of several who received the Scapular of Mont-Carmel, and she was confirmed at Notre-Dame-de-Quebec on August 10, 1659. The last record of her was living in her daughter's household during the 1667 census.

318	I9678	CHATER	Lt. John	1618	19 Sep 1671	0	Except for two or three minor court actions, little is known about Chater's life at Newbury except an unhappy phase of his matrimonial experience. Sometime in 1652 he was lying seriously ill as was also one of his servants, Daniel Gunn, a Scotchman who had been deported and sold into servitude after the battle of Worcester. Alice Chater, carrying food to Gunn, told him that, if her husband should die, he should be her husband, of which prospect the young man took immediate advantage. Eighteen months later she confessed to her invalid husband in the hearing of William and Isabel Houldred, who were visiting them. Adultery was a capital offense and Gunn and Alice Chater were soon before the magistrates and in peril of their lives. The verdict of the jury before whom they were tried in the county court-whether it was "guilty" or "not guilty" does not appear-was not satisfactory to the judges, and the case was sent to the higher court in Boston as were the prisoners. On May 14, 1654, perhaps hesitating to inflict the death penalty, the governor and council stated that they were not guilty according to law but that, because of her shameful and unchaste behavior, Alice Chater should be severely admonished and stand tied to the whipping post for one hour and then be discharged that she might return to her husband, while Gunn, after Mr. Lunerius, the physician, had restored him to health, was to be whipped.5 The unhappy young Scot did not long survive his ordeal. In the meantime Newbury gossip was busy with the name of Isabel Houldred who was nursing Chater during his wife's absence, but the magistrates decided that it was unfounded when the usual presentment was made.	tree1

333	I3458	CHURCH	Benjamin	Abt 1639	17 Jan 1718	0	Benjamin Church, a notable figure in colonial American military history, was born around 1639 in the Plymouth Colony, Massachusetts. His life story is deeply intertwined with the early history of New England and its complex colonial and indigenous relations. Church's lineage traced back to the first English settlers in North America. His father, Richard Church, was a carpenter who arrived in the Plymouth Colony from England in the 1630s. Richard played a significant role in the development of the colony. Benjamin's mother, Elizabeth Warren, was the daughter of Richard Warren, a passenger on the Mayflower and a signer of the Mayflower Compact. This foundational document was crucial for the governance of the Plymouth Colony, highlighting the historical significance of Church's maternal lineage.(we are descended directly from Richard and Elizabeth through one of their younger son's, Caleb) Growing up in the Plymouth Colony, Church was immersed in an environment that was at the forefront of early colonial and Native American interactions. His upbringing in this community, combined with his family's standing, likely influenced his later military career and his approach to relations with Native Americans. Church's understanding of Native American languages and culture, which became crucial in his military campaigns, may have been shaped by his experiences during his youth in the colony. Church is best known for his role as a military leader during King Philip's War, a conflict between English colonists and Native Americans in New England. He developed innovative tactics in ranger warfare, adapting Native American techniques, which proved effective against the traditional European military strategies of the time. His approach was characterized by small, mobile units that could move quickly and strike effectively, a method that later influenced American military tactics. Church's military career began with his commission by Governor Josiah Winslow to form a company of rangers following the outbreak of King Philip's War in 1675. His unit, comprising both Englishmen and Native Americans, was instrumental in tracking down and killing the Wampanoag sachem Metacomet (also known as King Philip), which significantly contributed to the end of the war. During the French and Indian Wars, Church engaged in asymmetric warfare against the French and their indigenous allies. He led multiple expeditions into Acadia during King William's War and Queen Anne's War, employing tactics that combined traditional European methods with indigenous techniques. These tactics emphasized small, mobile, and flexible units adept at using the landscape for cover and surprise attacks, rather than relying on large formations and frontal assaults. Church's approach to warfare was innovative for his time. He stressed the importance of thorough planning, proper training, and equipping of troops, and building alliances with potential allies, including Native Americans. His methods prioritized minimizing unnecessary damage and harm, utilizing stealth and surprise, and understanding the broader strategic objectives of each operation. After King Philip's War, Church continued to play a role in colonial military affairs, including during subsequent conflicts such as Queen Anne's War. He authored an account of his experiences in King Philip's War, providing valuable insights into the conflict and the era. In addition to his military exploits, Church also held public office, serving as the first representative of Bristol to the Plymouth Colony legislature between 1682 and 1684. respect, combined with his military prowess, earned him a significant place in the history of colonial America. He passed away on January 17, 1718, in Little Compton, Rhode Island, where he was buried. Church's legacy in military history is significant and his military career was marked by a mix of combat success and diplomatic efforts. He was known for his attempts to negotiate and his respect for his Native American adversaries, a trait not commonly found among colonial leaders of his time. This His memoirs, published posthumously as "Entertaining Passages relating to Philip's War," are considered by some as the first American military manual. His great-grandson, Dr. Benjamin Church, would later become the first "Surgeon General" of the Continental Army. Furthermore, Church's tactical innovations influenced the formation of later ranger units, such as Rogers Rangers and Gorham's Rangers. In 1992, he was inducted into the U.S. Army Ranger Hall of Fame, acknowledging his contributions to military tactics and strategy. Benjamin Church's story is a fascinating blend of early American colonial history, military innovation, and cross-cultural interactions. His ancestry, rooted in the first settlers of New England, and his upbringing in the Plymouth Colony, shaped his unique approach to military leadership and diplomacy in a period marked by significant challenges and transformations.	tree1

They emigrated to New England by 1637, accompanied by the three children of his first marriage William, Thomas and Sarah, and at least two of Katherine's children by her first marriage, Robert and Rebecca Prince. In 1645 William was an innkeeper and proprietor of "The Ship's Tavern" in Salem, Massachusetts. He was quite a wealthy man, a property owner and an officer in Salem's military company. He probably enjoyed a relatively superior social position as he is described several times as "Mr. Clarke." in the Salem Town records. William died suddenly in the summer of 1647, he could have been a victim of an "epidemical sickness" that had smitten Salem residents in June of that year. He left a large and extesnive estate including a 200-acre farm, two houses, part ownership of two ships, 1500 lbs of tobacco, 3 hogsheds of sugar, 40 lbs of ginger and other food, and all the furnishings in the tavern.

346	I8832	CLEEVE	George	1586	1667	0	George Cleeve was a vintner in England . George emigrated to what is now New England in 1630, settling first in Spurwink, Maine (near today's Cape Elizabeth), and at Falmouth (today's Portland) in 1633. In 1637, Sir Ferdinando Gorges granted George and associate Richard Tucker 1,500 acres at Machegonne (Portland Neck) that included the area of today's downtown Portland. George is known as the father of Portland, and a statue is erected in modern Portland commemorating this. His career was both contentious and litigious, engaged in frequent land disputes and vying with Gorges' Province of Maine for jurisdiction over the area north of Cape Porpoise. In a letter to Governor John Winthrop from a contemporary, he was described as"a firebrand of dissension and hath set the whole Province together by the ears." He married Joan Price in England in 1618; George made several trips back and forth to England during his career and it is unknown on which trip she emigrated. Even before he left England, George was involved in a suit against his father-in-law, John Price. Not muchy is known of Joan's life but she is a docoumented "Gateway Ancestor" to royalty. The early records of Maine are filled with less than admirable descriptives of his nature. His hatred for Ferdinando Gorges, and others of the titled class, was pronounced, and he attempted every coercion possible to defame those who stood in his way, or to misrepresent his aim to others in order to pursue his own gain. That he was initially, to those who knew nothing of his character, persuasive and charming, is apparent, but it was not long before he had alienated every person of power in both Maine and Massachusetts.	tree1

350	I4452	CLOUGH	John	1613	26 Jul 1691	0	Salem Witch Trials connection: John Clough and his wife signed the petition in favor of Mary Bradbury. Mary was tried, convicted, and sentenced to hang, but managed to evade the sentence being carried out until after the trials had ended. She lived until 1700. Interestingly, my direct ancestors John Allen and Robert Pike supported Mary Bradbury as well. Our ancestor John Clough, sometimes spelled Cluff and Cluffe, was born about 1613. John Clough’s descendants have wondered if they were related to the Welsh Clough family, but despite much effort, could trace no connection. Richard Clough Yr Hen (meaning “Senior”) from Denbigh, Wales, was the father of three daughters and seven sons. One son, Richard (Jr.) made a pilgrimage to the Holy Land on crusade. He returned to Great Britain, where he accumulated a considerable fortune, and was knighted…becoming Sir Richard Clough. Members of the John Clough Genealogical Society (descendants of John Clough of Salisbury, Massachusetts) contacted Oxford ancestors to start a Clough Y-line DNA study. The Y chromosome of a male member of the Society (surnamed “Clough”) was analyzed, as was the Y chromosome of a direct male descendant of Sir Richard’s son by a Dutch mistress. The results were exactly the same. Meanwhile, our John Clough sailed from London, England, to America on the ship Elizabeth in 1635. Unlike many of the other settlers in New England, the passengers on the Elizabeth were not an organized company, but rather a group of individuals seeking land and a new home. “John Clough evidently came from a prosperous family as he paid at least 25 pounds for his passage on the Elizabeth and 50 pounds to become a proprietor of Salisbury.” He arrived at the age of 22. His name is first found on the records of Charlestown, Massachusetts, from there he went to Watertown, Massachusetts, and became a proprietor. Later, Clough removed to Salisbury. In 1639, John Clough was among original settlers of a new township named Colchester near the mouth of the Merrimack River. The name of this new town was changed to Salisbury the following year. There is a record of the general court granting to John Clough, land at Salisbury in 1639. Like most of the 20,000 Englishmen who migrated to New England between the years 1620 and 1640, John Clough was a Puritan, yet he was even more of a dissenter than the Pilgrims or the Puritans of the Bay Colony. John Clough was a Presbyterian, a member of a religious sect that was forbidden to assemble in England by order of the King in 1610. Nevertheless, he was quickly admitted to the church of Salisbury and was made a freeman in 1640. John received his land in the “first division” and acquired additional land in 1640. He paid 50 pounds to become a proprietor in Salisbury. To receive his share of the second division of upland land, he had to possess at least another 150 pounds. John married Jane Sanders in 1642. John received land in the first division at Salisbury and again in 1640; he was a taxpayer in 1650 and he subscribed to the oath of fidelity in that year; he was admitted freeman in 1642. By 1650, then 37 years old, John Clough was firmly established in Salisbury, where he became prominent in public affairs. He was appointed as the “Jury of Tryals,” an office he filled many times before 1677. That he was involved in other activities is indicated by this note in a town meeting: “Liberty be granted to John Clough, Robert Pike and Henry True to transport so many plank as will serve for the deck of a vessel building in Boston.” Pike, a wealthy business man, True and Clough were in an enterprise of building a “vessel in Boston,” probably for the coastal trade, which was a means of rapidly accumulating one’s income. All these outlays suggest that John Clough received considerable money from an inheritance in England, yet he left no record of his lineage or birthplace. About 1656, he became a pioneer on Salisbury Plains where he bought a farm of several hundred acres. This is where he erected his homestead. Salisbury Plains was a distance about two miles northwest into the wilderness. His rights as a commoner in the divisions of “upland” probably permitted him to purchase shares of land that is now part of Kingston, New Hampshire, where his grandchildren lived in the early 1700s. Before his death, John Clough acquired hundreds of acres of land in Salisbury, Amesbury, and Haverhill, which he distributed either by gift during his lifetime or by will to his children and grandchildren. John and Jane Clough were the parents of seven children. All were born in Salisbury. Both boys and girls attended the school that was taught first by the minister and then by Thomas Bradbury. Bradbury is highlighted in a chapter of the book titled Mary Bradbury. Jane died in 1679. John then married Martha Blaisdell, the widow of Thomas Cilley, in 1686. Martha is part of the Shipwreck Survivors chapter of this book, while Thomas is featured in the Cilley Family chapter. John Clough died in 1691 in Salisbury. His will was witnessed by Henry Blaisdell, the brother of Martha. Thomas Clough, the second son and fifth child of John and Jane, is our next direct ancestor. He was born in 1651. Their oldest child, Elizabeth, was born in 1642. She married William Horne. Elizabeth had the distinction of being the only woman to sign her own name, among many signers of a petition to Massachusetts to set up a temporary government. All other women made their mark. Horne was killed in the Indian massacre at Oyster River, New Hampshire, in 1689 when the Waldron Garrison House and several other garrisons were burned. Elizabeth was taken by Indians in Dover in 1707 and killed. from https://vandenheedemarkfamily.wordpress.com/gilman-family/clough-family/	tree1
351	I5178	CLOUTIER	Anne	19 Jan 1626	3 Feb 1648	0	Anne Cloutier, born on January 19, 1626, in St-Jean-de-Mortagne, Perche, France, was one of the earliest settlers of New France and a pivotal figure in the colony's early history. The daughter of Zacharie Cloutier, a master carpenter, and Xainte Dupont, Anne's life story encapsulates the challenges and realities faced by the first generation of French-Canadian settlers. At the age of eight, Anne embarked on a life-changing journey across the Atlantic with her family. They arrived in New France on June 4, 1634, as part of Robert Giffard's recruitment of skilled artisans to establish the Beauport settlement near Quebec City. The Cloutiers were among the vanguard of the Percheron migration that would significantly shape the demographic and cultural landscape of New France. Anne's childhood in the colony was likely filled with the daily challenges of frontier life. While her father worked on constructing essential buildings and fortifications, Anne would have assisted her mother in managing their household in the harsh New World environment. Perhaps the most notable event in Anne's short life was her marriage to Robert Drouin. On July 27, 1636, at just ten years old, Anne was betrothed to Drouin, a bricklayer and employee of Robert Giffard. Their marriage contract, signed in the home of Jean Guyon, holds the distinction of being the first recorded in New France. Due to Anne's youth, the contract included provisions postponing the consummation of the marriage. The actual wedding ceremony took place a year later, on July 12, 1637, at the Church of Notre-Dame de Quebec. Even then, the couple was required to wait two more years before living together as husband and wife. This arrangement reflects the complex realities of life in the early colony, where marriages often served strategic social and economic purposes. Despite her young age at marriage, Anne bore several children with Robert Drouin. Their first child, Agnes, was born in 1641 but sadly died within a week. Anne would go on to have five more children, though only two daughters, Geneviève and Jeanne, survived to adulthood. Notably, Michelle is descended through Anne's daughter Geneviève, while Jim's lineage traces back to Jeanne through the Vermette/Gilbert branch. Tragically, Anne's life was cut short at the age of 22. She passed away on February 3, 1648, in Quebec City, leaving behind her husband and young children. Her funeral, as described in the Jesuit Relations, provides a poignant glimpse into the communal nature of life and death in early New France. Though her life was brief, Anne Cloutier's story is a testament to the resilience and fortitude of the women who helped establish New France. Her early marriage, her role as a mother in a challenging frontier environment, and her position as a daughter of one of the colony's founding families make her an important figure in the early history of French Canada.	tree1
352	I6240	CLOUTIER	Jean	13 May 1620	16 Oct 1690	0	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.	tree1
353	I5201	CLOUTIER	Zacharie	18 Jul 1590	17 Sep 1677	0	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.	tree1

355	I20157	COLBATH	Betsy Caroline	Mar 1794	11 Aug 1863	0	There are many online trees that connect George Colbath, son of Pitman Colbath, with a marriage to a woman named Jane and 4 daughters. These trees also indicate that George died in Barnstead in 1843. The problem is that I can find zero evidence of any of this other than a Betsey C. (Colbath) Garland, widow, born in 1794, who died in Medland, MA in 1863 of a lightning strike, and her parents are listed as George and Jane. Now, there is a Betsey C. Colbath among the four daughters attributed to George Colbath, but she was living with her son Isaac Garland in Gilmanton, NH in both 1850 and 1860. It is possible that she had moved to Medland or was visiting Medland in 1863 when this lightning strike killed her, but it is also quite possible that her parents names were listed incorrectly. Also, I can find no evidence that George, son of Pitman Garland, had any connection with Barnstead. He didn't actually die in Barnstead in 1843, he died in Portsmouth in 1853. Also, if he ever married a woman named Jane, there is no record of it. In fact, the Portsmouth Athenaeum (The Athenæum houses an outstanding collection of documents and artifacts relating to local history. It also preserves what is undoubtedly the finest collection in the state of materials relating to the history of New Hampshire’s only major seaport.) has a record for George (https://athenaeum.pastperfectonline.com/byperson?keyword=Colbath%2C%20George%2C%20c1759-1853) in which it attributes no children and lists him as unmarried (with a question mark). The other daughters attributed to him are Jane Colbath born in 1782 in Barnstead, who married Daniel Sherburne. Also a Hannah Colbath born in 1792 who married an Ezra Straw.

She was born in Portsmouth according to her obituary, but was married in Barnstead.However, Ezra was born in Barnstead, so this may account for that fact. Finally, there is my ancestor Sarah Sally Colbath, born in 1789 in Barnstead, who married Ebenezer Adams Jr. of Barnstead in 1805, and died in Portsmouth in 1864. Ebenezer died in 1820 leaving her with young children to raise, and she never remarried, It would have been very difficult for a single mother in those years, so it makes complete sense that she moved her family to Portsmouth where there would have been more work than in Barnstead. There are a few issues in resolving all of these inconsistencies, and the most significant is that the early vital records from Barnstead were lost in a fire. The second is that most of the early founding families of Barnstead had family ties in the Portsmouth/Newington areas, and I've found a lot of fluidity among them. In my tree I have left George "married" to Jane, but only for research purposes, and have listed the four daughters I found in online trees. I have also listed Jane and Sarah Sally with Dependence and Eleanor, again, to aid with research, as explained below. It is my belief that Jane and Sarah Sally werevery likely the daughters of Dependence Colbath and Eleanor Walker. Dependence is from a branch of the family that was well established in Barnstead and the 1790 census lists them as having 2 sons and 5 daughters. We know they had one daughter Lydia, born in 1788 and died (unmarried) in 1832. She is buried with her parents in Barnstead. The two sons, it is believed were John and Dependence/Independence Jr. The names of the other four daughters living in 1790 are lost.

356	I2046	COLBATH	Dependence	17 Feb 1742/43	28 Jul 1838	0	In the History and Genealogy of the Barnstead Early Families, Stuart Merrill asserted that Dependence Colbath was the son of Benjamin Colbath. This is incorrect. He is the son of James and Olive (Leighton) Colbath and Benjamin was his uncle. Benjamin did have a son named Dependence, but he was at leas 15 years younger than "our" Dependence and he also moved to New York state, where he died in 1840. In 1816, Dependence and Eeleanor lived on lot 13, 1st division, below Roy Witham's property. In 1808, he owned lot 58, 1st division. According to the census, in 1790, Dependence Colbath's family was the only Colbath family in Barnstead. There were nine people in the household; two males over 16, one under 16, and 6 females (one would have been Eleanor). So, Dependence probably had 2 sons and 5 daughters, although birth records have proved impossible to find. Unforunately, many of Barnstead's records were lost in a fire, so these may have been among them.	tree1

363	I738	COLBATH	Sarah "Sally"	Abt 1789	26 Feb 1864	0	Based on Census and death records she was born approximately 1789 in Barnstead. People online have listed that she was the daughter of George Colbath and Rebecca Milken, but I haven't been able to verify that. According to the census, in 1790, Dependence Colbath's family was the only Colbath family in Barnstead. There were nine people in the household; two males over 16, one under 16, and 6 females (one would have been Eleanor). So, Dependence probably had 2 sons and 5 daughters, although birth records have proved impossible to find. Unforunately, many of Barnstead's records were lost in a fire, so these may have been among them. I believe that Sally was the daughter of Dependnce and Eleanor. She marrried Ebenezer Adams Jr. in Barnstead in 1808 Ebenezer Gilman was born 1 May 1809 George Washington was born 8 Mar 1811 Mary Jane was born 19 Feb 1813 * Joseph Colbath was born 25 Feb 1815 John Quincy was born 30 Mar 1819 Her husband, Capt. Eben Adams Jr. died 1 Jun 1820 (causes unkown) Sally Ann, the youngest daughter, was born 13 Jul 1820 (yikes! a month after her husband died!) On 12 Oct 1821, Sally was granted guardianship of her children following their father's death The 50-acre farm owned by her husband in Barnstead was auctioned in 1821. His estate was insolvent. (see attached) The1830 Census notes one Sally Adams and one young female living in Portsmouth. I am assuming this is OUR Sally, but what happened to the other children?? In 1837, Sally Ann, the youngest daughter dies in a tragic drowning in Portsmouth. The newspaper notes her mother and siblings. (see attached) In 1839, her residence is listed in the city directory as 25 Court St., Portsmouth. Her son Joseph C is also in Portsmouth at this time, living not far away where he had a blacksmith shop at 57 Daniel In 1860 she was living in Portsmouth with her daughter Mary Jane, and two granddaughters Sally Ann and Mary Jane. Sally died from "consumption" on 25 Feb 1864. Her burial spot is unknown. My questions???? How did Ebenezer die? He was so young! What happened to Sally and the children after Ebenezer died? I do NOT yet know enough about probate and land records but I'm guessing that Ebenezer got his land from the original Adams holdings (his great grandfather Rev. Joseph Adams). I'm thinking there would be a record of that?? Rev. Adams will left the land in Barnstead to Dr. Joseph Adams, Ebenezer's father. I can't find a probate record for Dr. Joseph Adams so far, but maybe there is some record of a land transfer to be found. Also, that after he died, the court must have made some provisions for his children. Did they really leave them homeless and without any support? There must be some record. Where did Sally come from? Who are her parents?	tree1

The two sons, it is believed were John and Dependence/Independence Jr. The names of the other four daughters living in 1790 are lost.

377	I2905	CORSON	Charles	30 Nov 1788	23 Apr 1860	0	He had a farm in Lebanon on River Rd. in sight of the bridge over the Salmon Falls River at East Rochester. Roger Gray says the farm was on the corner of the old River Road and the old county road that ran from East Rochester across the bridge over the Salmon Fall River, once called Garland's Bridge, and then east to Sanford, ME. The farm was on the east side of River Rd. and must have run north along the road for about a half mile. A little way up River Rd. on the right (going north) is an old abandoned building on a little rise (if it hasn't been torn down). This was the old school house and was on a lot taken from the farm. He was an elder and preacher (unpaid) of the Free Will Baptist Church. He presided at the marriage of some of his children including Eliza and Jeremiah Shorey. In 1992 an old account book was found in the attic of an old house in Lebanon, ME. The book was in fairly good condition, and Roger Gray and Mabelle Corson were able to borrow it for examination. The book was the property of Rev. Charles Corson, and had been primarily used by him to record the accounts of his customers who had brought wool to be carded in a mill set up by Charles. The mill is described in "The History of East Rochester, NH: by Arlene Stone, as a "grist mill and carding rolls." This was the beginning of the woolen industry in East Rochester. Actuall the mill was erected across the Salmon Falls River from East Rochester in South Lebanon. The earliest date noted in the account book was 1815 and the mill data ends with the terse statement "Factory burned Oct. 18, 1857." Many of Charles Corson's customers paid for his wool carding services by goods and services; very little cash seems to have been available. It was in this mill - about 1841 - that his daughter, Harriet Corson, lost a hand; however, Harriet grew up to become the first school teacher in East Rochester. "The History of East Rochester" states that in about 1847 two local businessmen bought what machinery Corson had, including the set of cards. Two years later they expanded the mill and began manufacture of blankets. This brings into question how long Charles had operated this mill.

378	I3001	CORSON	Cornelius	1652	1729	0	The name has had many spellings, but we stick with the present Corson. Cornelius was known as Cosenwhit, Cossen, Cursenwhitt, and Corson. David Allen McNeal theorizes he may have been a Dutch mariner from New York, appearing first in Dover in 1685. He married Hannah Hobbs before 3 Feb 1686. He was charged on that date with striking his mother-in-law, Hannah Hobbs. A Cornelius Cossen and Joanna Armitage, both married people were found in naked bed together and charged in Suffolk County (Boston) in June 1686. They were ordered to wear signs declaring they were being punished "For Adulterous and Lascivious Behavior to each other" for one hour, and that he was to be whipped with 25 stripes on the naked back and she was to get 20 stripes, or pay 70 pounds each. Cornelius was listed as a resident lieutenant in Frost's Garrison in Kittery in 1704. Genealogical dictionaries suggest this was a son of Cornelius, but it may well have been the Cornelius who owned the 23 acre grant at Lower Salmon Falls River just above the Frost Garrison. It would have been very easy for him to get there by canoe (five miles at most). Cornelius' grant was on the lower, or south side of the present (1987) bridge from Dover to Eliot. Research has suggested that the New England Corsons are not related to the New Jersey or South Jersey groups, though the lines may merge farther back than that. Cornelius may have been a descendant of John Cousins who settled on Cousins Island as early as 1627, or may have been associated with a William Cosin who lived in Boston in 1649 (a convenient time frame for Cornelius' birth).

381	I3015	CORSON	Samuel	1685	1764	0	Samuel, along with Bartholomew Stevenson, Peter Mason Jr. and Stephen Jenkins were charged in September 1701 with aiding in the escape of Grace Hall, daughter of the Deacon John Hall, after being charged with bastardy (she was 27 years old at the time). Samuel was witness against Joanna Potts, his mother-in-law, for selling drink in 1707. He owned 20 acres of land in 1719, presumably on his father Cornelius' grant on Fresh Neck Creek in Dover, left to him by his father. In 1719 Richard Waldren filed a suit in court against a dozen people "Pretenders to Land at Cocheco Point", including "Samuel Cosen. Planter." The suit dragged on for nine years and was settled in 1728 by dividing the land in question and giving half to Waldren. It appears that Samuel left his father's grant early in the 1720's but not because he was dispossessed. During the time of the lawsuit Samuel held a homestead in the Rollingsford (or Somerswirth) section of Dover. He was granted land in 1722 in Rochester, receiving a "thirdly third share," or one share to be divided equally between three poeple. He sold this property in 1725, but never lived on it, as the first permanent settler didn't move into Rochester until 1728. Samuel's land was noted in Somersworth 9 March 1727 in a plan to lay out a highway from Salmon Falls to Cocheco, passing between Samuel Corson's land and the Wallingford's land. Samuel "Cason" along with other inhabitants at the Somersworth section of Dover, signed a petition 17 April 1729 asking to separate Somersworth from Dover, stating: "the Dwellin places of your Ptitioners are at a great distance from the house of the Publick Worship of God in the Town of Dover where your petitioners live, by which their attendance thereon is rendered very difficult....It is humbly prayed by them that your Excellency .... sett them off as a Parish .... amongst themselves." Samuel is believed to have moved into Berwick, Maine in the early 1730s, probably shortly after 17 March 1729/30 when he and his wife sold their homestead to Thomas Wallingford. The earliest mention of his name in York County was "Samnuel Corson of Berwick" among a group of men who bought the mill privileges at Great Falls in Somersworth in 1737. On 6 June 1739, Samuel Colson of Berwick, labourer, sold his property to Samuel Lord for 50 pounds. By 1742 Samuel was on the Rochester tax list, and there is no evidence he lived in Rochester before that date. Samuel signed his "O" mark 19 Sept. 1753 in a deposition with two other men stating the "mark and dry pitch pine standing .... exact location then given .... seen the Letters thereon and have known it to be the reputed Bounds of Dover ... for thirty years past and upwards and further saith not." He received a summons issued to him in February 1756 for defaulting on a note on behalf of Job Clememnts.Judgement was obtained in Portsmouth by Clememnts for the balance plus two pounds, 18 shillings and 6 pence in costs. He lived probably to 1764, and had moved over the Rochester line into Somersworth. In the First Annual Report of the City of Sommerworth a new road "over ye rocky hills" is described as "running ... to the old way below Samuel Corson's house." By this time there were two other Samuel Corsons - one Samuel's son removed to Cherryfield, Maine, and his grandson Samuel (son of Zebulon) and in his 30s. His grandson was in the list of inhabitants of Lebanon, ME in 1760 and had purchased the land he was living on by 1766.	tree1

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 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. 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.	tree1
387	I20248	CÔTÉ	Martin	12 Jul 1639	30 Aug 1710	0	Martin Côté and Suzanne Pagé were early settlers of New France who contributed to the growth and development of the colony. Martin was born in Quebec City to French immigrant parents, making him one of the first generation of French Canadians born in the New World. Suzanne was also born in New France, to parents who had immigrated from France. Their marriage in 1667 united two families who were helping to establish a permanent French presence in North America. The couple settled on Île d'Orléans near Quebec City, where they raised a large family of at least 9 children between 1668 and 1686. Census records show their progress as farmers, with their holdings growing from 3 animals and 30 arpents of cleared land in 1667 to 10 cattle and 15 arpents by 1681. Martin and Suzanne lived long lives for their time, with Martin reaching 71 years of age and Suzanne living to about 65. Through their family and farm, they played a significant role in the early settlement and agricultural development of New France, contributing to the foundation of what would become Quebec society.	tree1

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.	tree1

396	I13786	CREVET	Marie	Abt 1615	22 Nov 1695	0	Marie Crevet, born around 1615 in Bénouville, near Bayeux in Normandy, 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's paths crossed in the small settlement of Quebec, where they married on October 25, 1637. Their wedding, held in the Notre-Dame-de-la-Recouvrance chapel, was officiated by Jesuit Charles Lallemant and witnessed by notable figures including Robert Giffard, the seigneur of Beauport. This union marked the beginning of a significant family line in New France. Initially, the couple settled on the Côte de Beaupré, east of Montmorency Falls. However, they soon relocated to Côte Sainte-Geneviève in Quebec City. Robert proved to be an industrious settler, clearing land and establishing a homestead. By 1643, he had acquired 40 arpents of land, which was later expanded by an additional 20 arpents granted by Governor Louis D'Ailleboust. Robert and Marie had seven children together, contributing significantly to the growth of the colony's population. Their children were: Marie (1638-1660) Jean-Baptiste (1641-1706) Robert (1647-1714) Catherine (1649-1725) Joseph (1652-1711) Pierre (1654-1720) Aymée (1655-1685) 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 and Jean had one daughter, Marie-Anne Langlois, who married Jean Côté. Jim has four separate lines of descent from Marie. He is descended from Marie and Robert Caron on the Dumas branch and from Marie and Noel Langlois on both the Vermette and Dumas branches.Jim also has four lines of descent from Noel Langlois and his first wife,Francoise Grenier, all on the Vermette branch. Marie lived to the exceptional age of 86 (or possibly 92), passing away in 1695.	tree1
