"The name “Antaya” is associated uniquely with the descendants of François Pelletier and Marguerite Morisseau, who married on September 26, 1661, at the Mission Saint-Joseph in Sillery. François was the son of Nicolas Peltier and Jeanne de Vousy, originally from the parish of Gallardon, today within the department of Eure-et-Loir in France. He was the first to bear this name, and his descendants are the only ones to bear it today. It is therefore a name that belongs solely to these sons and daughters of Québec."

Ancestor's Life Events

1659-1661   "Francois traveled with his brother-in-law, Noel Jeremie, Sieur of la Montagne, interpreter and clerk at the trading posts of the Domaine du Roi (King's Domain). Francois married a native woman at the post of Tadoussac, in the presence of the Jesuit priest Albanel, in April, 1660 without any publication (of marriage bans) or advance notice of any kind. This caused a considerable reaction; this marriage was hardly accepted in the religious community - a white married to a pagan was not looked upon favorably. The young lovers were not happy for very long since on April 13, 1661, Francois' wife died at the Hospital in Quebec. No child was born from this marriage of Francoise Pelletier and Dorothee the Native (le Sauvagesse). Francois Pelletier, now a widower, becomes engaged to Marguerite Morisseau. After the publication of the three banns at the church of Sillery, they married on Sept 6, 1661 before Jesuit priest Pierre Bailloquet. their first six children are born and baptized in the parish of Sillery, the others would be baptized in Sorel..."

The couple established themselves on the land of Nicolas Pelletier, father, master carpenter, in the concession of the natives on the hill of St. Francois Xavier, Parish of Sillery."

1669-1670   "On October 13, 1669, Nicolas gives his farm to his son Jean Pelletier, but reserves rights to the farm, and one notes in the contract that Francois Pelletier dit Antaya, brother of Jean, is his neighbor on their father's farm. Francois gives his house and farm to Denis Ruette d'Auteuil of Monceaux on Aug 20, 1669. He leaves Sillery with his wife and his children for a parcel of land that is unknown to him and where the Iroquois prowl and watch for victims to decapitate during the night. Francois Pelletier settles in Sorel with his wife about 1670. " Source: http:/home.centurytel.net/gmgordon/peltr.html

1675 -   "On October 22, 1675, Francois Pelletier dit Antaya purchases the fief d'Orvilliers from Sieur de Gauthier de Comporte. This fief is located on the north coast of the St. Lawrence, in the Iles of Upper Berthier, on one side Dautray and on the other the lands not conceded belonging to Sieur Randin, along with the Ile au Foin. He finally left Sorel, after the sale of his concession to Pierre Coutois dit Bonnehumeur, on September 17, 1677. In the contract, Francois is referred to as farmer of Dorvilliers. The father and brother of Francois, Nicolas and Jean, settled in the said fief Antaya on March 23, 1678 as the first farmers of that area. Francois died before June, 1688. Marguerite Morisseau, wife of Sieur Antaya, died at the Hotel-Dieu (hospital) of Quebec on December 15, 1707 at the age of 70. Seigneur (landowner) Pierre Pelletier, son of Francois and Marguerite Morisseau, paid homage in the name of his brother and sisters on February 17, 1723. (Probably a religious ceremony of remembrance.) The cradle of the Pelletier and Antaya family thus lies right in the heart of Monteregie. Sorel, located at the confluence of the St. Lawrence and the Richelieu River, is the fourth oldest city of Canada." Source: http:/home.centurytel.net/gmgordon/peltr.html
