The marriage of Methurin and Francoise was the first recorded marriage in Montreal.

On 11 Oct. 1653 Mathurin entered a contract to sell half his property to Michel l'Homme and the other half to Charles Pouliot, however, this deal fell through. In the records of notary Guillaume Audouart is an agreement between Mathurin and Pierre Paquereau with Denis Guyon, dated 10 Aug. 1654.(2) On 30 Jan. 1655 Methurin obtained a grant of 4 arpents of frontage in Sainte Anne de Beaupr� between the lots of Francois Boivin and Noel Simard.(1) Mathurin is on the map of 1658 listing the first colonists in Sainte-Anne-de-Beaupr�.
