Jean was a master carriage maker and enlisted to go to Canada on 18
Mar. 1649 at Tourouvre. Notary Choiseau drew up the contract on behalf of
Antoine Merry, acting as agent for Michel Le Neuf, Sieur du Herisson of
Trois-Rivieres. With his father present as a witness, Jean enlisted for a
salary of 80 livres per year. After arriving in New France, Jean spent his
three years of indenture at Trois-Rivieres before moving to Beauport. On 11 August 1654 notary Badeau
recorded Jean's purchase of a lot in the Bourg de Fargy section of Beauport. In 1660 he
bought part of the arriere-fief of Dubuisson from Claude Guyon, husband of
Fille a Marier, Catherine Colin.
The family is listed in the censuses for 1666, 1667 and 1681 for Beauport.
Marguerite died in 1703 most likely a victim of the smallpox epidemic that
year that killed a quarter of the population of Quebec City. Notary Duprac drew up an
inventory of the marital assets on 17 Apr. and on 18 Apr. 1703 Jean
acknowledged that his daughter Marie and her husband Jean LeFebvre spent 55
livres 5 sols for Marguerite's food and care during her illness.
