General Notes (Husband)
From LaForest's French-Canadian Ancestors series
Like most of the colonists of his time, Loius Houde was a land clearer and farmer, however, on occasion, he worked at his trade of master mason. Born in Perche in 1617, he emigrated to New France thirty years later. A record left by notary Claude Lecoustre, and preserved in teh Judicial Archives of Quebec, confirms the presence of Louis aboard a ship out of Dieppe, owned by the Company of One Hundred Assoicates and commanded by Captain Marsolet.
According to his marriage contract, he was teh son of Noel Houde and of Anne Lefebvre, from Manou, doicese of Chatres, Perche (Eure-et-Loire). He began service with a number of individuals he sailed with in the employ of Seigneur Noel Juchereau de Chastellees, for whom he apparently worked off his three years of service to pay for his passage to New France. Noel Juchereau was purchasing agent for the Associates. He died soon after returning to Quebec, and his sister took inventory of his estate. The estate shows Louis Houde as a servant.
By 1649 he and Jean Dufour, who also had sailed on the same ship, bought in partnership a piece of land on the river 12 arpents wide by 20 deep. Probably in the bounds of present-day parish of Saint-Augustin, ceded to them by Jean Juchereau de Maure. On 11 Oct of the same year, they ceded this land to Mathurin Amyot dit Villeneuve. At that time this land remained unworked because of the constant danger of Iroquois raids.
On 19 Jun 1650, he signed a six year lase to Antoine Brassard for three arpents on the Grand-Allee, betwen the properties of Nicolas Marolet and Noel Pinguet. For a certain time he owned some ladn with a half-arpent in frontage on Saint-Michel cove, across from yet another lot on the cliff, which had been ceded to him in the early 1650's. This site, with one and a half arpents in frontage by 20 in depth, opening on the Grand-Alle, was sold to Nicolas Gaudry dit Bourbonniere on 28 Jun 1652 for 600 livres. On 20 Dec of the same year for half this amount, Houde acquired land twice as large as teh seigneurie of Sillery, from Louis Fontaine. On 17 Feb 1653, he sold this land to the same Nicolas Gaudry.
Some two years later, approaching 40, he married a 13 year old girl, Madeleine Boucher.
Louis did not let his marriage interfer with business; he continued to buy and sell land at a rapid rate.
On 27 Jun 1656, he procured a piece of land from Cluade Guyon, four arpents in frontage on the St. Lawrence River, in the parish of Sainte-Famille, in the seigneurie of Lirac, on the Ile D'Orleans. The Houde family moved there, and for nearly a quarter of a century the Ile was their home. This land with 72 arpents in depth, was large enough to let Louis welcome his brother in law Louis-Marin Boucher dit Boisbuisson, to whom he rented half.
In the census of 1666, 1667, and 1681, the Houdes were listed at Sainte-Famille. In the first cnesus they had a 24 year old servant in their service named Florent Lefebvre; the following year they had another named Robert Tourneroche who was 20 years old; at that time the family owned three head of cattle and wroked 17 arpents of land. In 1681 their property had grown to 8 animals and 40 arpents under cultivation.
By the year 1682, the family of eleven childrne had outgrown the capabilty of the land at Sainte-Famille to support them. So on 13 Feb of that year, the Houde family decided to leave their beloved island for a newer and larger estate. The Ursulines of Quebec conceded tehm an immense domain with twelve arpents of frontage in the seigneurie of Sainte-Croix in Lotbiniere. Now the sons could live on their own lots around the paternal house. According to Father Deziel, the parcel fo son Louis opened on the rocky cliffs, hence the surname Houde dit des Roches; Jacques's parcel was ribboned with streams; his descendants woudl bear the surname Desruisseaux. As for Joseph, he was also known as Bellefeuille.
On 9 November 1685, our ancestor sold his land on the Ile d'Oreleans to Abbot Francois Lamy. This was confirmed by a signed receipt on 27 Jul 1686. Later on this land was given to the Dames de la Congregation de Notre-Dame in order to provide them with sufficient revenue to support their school. As for the domain of Sainte-Croix, today it is within the village limits.
On 29 Oct 1709, Louis Houde and Madeleine Boucher took an inventory of their wealth. He died sometime during the year 1712. The registries of Sainte-Croix were destroyed for this era, and no document verifies the exact date of his death. However, he gave the necessary land to construct the first church. In return, he received a lifetime pew from Msgr de Laval. Thus it was from Sainte-Croix that the Houdes emigrated to spread throughout Canada and the U.S.
The nine sons of Louis Houde and Madeleine Boucher were all married. There fore it is not surprising that the head of this family, in orde to avoid the probable scattering of his children, decided in 1682 to acquier teh larger site at Sainte-Croix, where they could both cultivate the soil and fish for eels. As a matter of fact, all the offspring who survived the stay on the Ile d'Orleans settled at Sainte-Croix itself or nearby.
General Notes for Child Jean-Baptiste HOUDE
From my own copy from Tanguay as well as Genconnect databases, and LaForest's French Canadian Ancestors chapter on Louis Houde.
He attended the Seminary at Quebec and the trade school at Saint-Joachim. At first this couple lived at Sainte-Famille before going to settle in the seigneurie of Villieu. Jean was buried at Saint-Nicholas, and Anne at Saint-Antoine-de-Tilly.
General Notes for Child Gervais HOUDE
He attended the seminary and the trade school as well. He lived mainly at Lotbiniere.
General Notes for Child Jacques HOUDE
Also a student at the seminary and the trade school.

General Notes (Husband)
He was a servant at Three Rivers and then "colon" and "charpentier". He was buried in the church at Three Rivers.
From LaForest:
Canada, Perche et Normandie, 8 Dec 1899.
Le Perche des Canadiens, p 38.
Etienne Pepin de
Fond
Etienne Pepin was a carpenter from Saint-Laurent-de-la-Barriere, Saintonge, Charente Maritime. He was 30 at his marriage in January 1645. (b abt 1614) The first mention of him is on 7 Oct 1642, when as a servant in the house of the Ursulines of Quebec, he bought at auction some of the clothes of interpreter Jean Nicolet, who had been drowned on the river in a storm.
In November 1645, Etienne was called as a witness to a fight over a pair of oxen and a cart.
Father Jacques Buteau, a missionary who was killed by the Iroquois, with the Society of Jesus, granted Etienne a homestead two arpents in frontage by 40 in depth, located between the Faveral river and Cap-de-la-Madeleine. Later that year Etienne hired Pierre Albert for one year.
In Jun 1650, Etienne settled in the town of Trois Rivieres. He bought a lot on Rue Notre-Dame, 20 by 25 toises, facing the future rue de Platon. In 1668 he built a house tehre, with courtyard, barn, and garden. In July 1651 he acquired another lot, 12 by 20 toises, on the same street. He sold it on 24 Feb 1657 to Pierre Pellerin dit Saint-Amant for 70 livres; it was sold again and by 1668 this house was in ruins.
Lafond also owned land about 36 arpents, in the seigneuriy of Cap-de-la-Madeleine, betweeen the land of Etienne Gelineau and the Saint-Maurice River.
In 1655 Etienne became the seigneur of an undeveloped fief in the commune of Lake Saint-Pierre. It remained undeveloped because of ever present danger of Iroqois attacks. It was conceded by Governor de Lauson acting on behalf of the One Hundred Associates. The grant was located at the river Madeleine above Trois-Rivieres, on the north bank of the stream. Lafond never took poession of this domain; in 1672 his son in law Charles Lesieur registered for it. At this time Lafond`s widow, Marie Boucher, took possession of a rear -fief called la Pierre, in the seigneury of the Cap, below Trois Rivieres, in compensation for the one of 1655.
In July 1654 Etienne took possession of of another plot on the right bank of the Saint-Maurice, near Trois Rivieres, that measured three in frontage by eight in depth and was set back from the river by a road of six toises. He leased it to Mathurin Goyer dit Laviolette in exchange mostly for the obligation to clear the land. In 1656, Etienne received another plot, 2 by 20 arpents, situated in the third row to the northwest of town. His neighbors were Cristophe Crevier dit Lameslee and Jean Godefroy de Lintot.
For his time, he was a great landowner.
In March 1662, he rented a farm for five years from Madelinot Pierre Coucq dit Lafleur. While he was clearing and cultivating this land he was accepting construction contracts from others. In Aug 1662, he agreeed to construct for surgeon Michel Gamelin, a house similar to the one near the windmill on the Faveral river. In September he accepted another concessoin from Father Jean-Claude Allouez, SJ, in the seigneury of the Cap.
In Dec 1664, Etienne was hired to biuld a boat out of pine for Nicolas Gastineau-Duplessis. In 1655, some months before his death, he settled a difference with his neighbor Etienne Gelineau concerning their land holdings.
The parish record of his death says ``probably from a heart attack``.
Marie Boucher carried on in place of her late husband. In 1667, she accepted a piece of land from the last plat of Trois-Rivieres from Jesuit Father Jacques Fremin. In 1668 she bought a little house and barn in town from Charles de Montmainier.
The census of 1666, 1667 and 1681 mention the family Lafond; first at Trois Rivieres, with two domestics; 19 year old Jacques, and 19 year old Pierre Deshaies. Then at Petit-Cap-de-la-Madeleine, where the widow lived alone with 10 animals and 20 arpents of cleared land. Finally at the same Cap, Marie Boucher, age 51 (IN 1681)LIVED WITH HER SONS, Pierre, 26, Etienne, 20, and Augustin, 20. Pierre Deshaies still lived there as a domestic. The family owned a firearm, a dozen cattle, and 25 arpents of arable land.
Marie Boucher outlived her husband by more than 40 years, and carried out many transactions, including sales, gifts, concessions, loans, rents, and leases, recorded in the records of notary Jean Cusson, between 1674 and 1694. In 1691 she and farmer Aubin Mondoux took a dispute about the delivery of produce to court. In June 170 she agreed to pay Quebec merchant Francois Hazeur the sum of250 livres + for a debt incurred by her husand 35 yers before. Her brother was Governor Pierre Boucher. She seems to have managed the family affairs with authority and competence, and more skill at business than her brother.
