Ancestor's Life Events

Marie Guyon   "Marie-Magdeliene Robin Guyon was born on March 18, 1624 at St-Jean, Mortagne, Perche, France; the daughter of Jean Francois Huet Guyon and Mathurine Avard Robin. Her father was a stone mason, who earned a reputation for his craft during the restoration work following the Religious Wars in France. This brought him to the attention of Robert Giffard, who recruited him for his new seigneury at Beauport, Quebec. The ten year old Marie, left with her family from Dieppe in May of 1634, and arrived in Quebec on August 8. Her first impression of what was to become her new home, must have been one of disbelief. This 'Colony of New France', was still little more than a trading post, and though it's affairs were directed from home; there was a strong Canadian Government in place, and the new settlers lived by their rules. Not that this was a bad thing. She would have the freedom to enjoy many activities not allowed her before, and any formalities were cast aside, while she became acclimatized to her new surroundings. The 'New World' that everyone spoke of, was more 'Old World' than she first thought; and though the French investors fought diligently to introduce the old feudal system to their small corner of North America, these first emigrants had an opportunity to carve their own destinies. Tradesmen were crucial, and as such, commanded a high degree of respect. However, Marie-Magdeliene was herself a valuable human commodity to the embryo of 'New France', since as a young French woman, her services were required to add to the small French population. As a result, she was married at the age of only thirteen; to another Giffard recruit; Francois Belanger. The marriage took place on July 12, 1637; performed by Father Charles Lallemant, at Notre-Dame-des-Anges. The other bride was eleven year old, Anne Cloutier who was wed to Robert Drouin." CHILDREN: "CHARLES (1640-1692), WAS MARRIED IN 1663 TO BARBE CLOUTIER, THE DAUGHTER OF ZACHARIE CLOUTIER, JR., AND MADELEINE EMARD. THEY HAD 4 BOYS AND 5 GIRLS.
