Ancestor's Life Events



 Birth  
"It was at Chatillon-en-Bazois that Paul Benoit was born about 1626. Le Bazois, a tiny region of France, occupied the easter part of the French province of Nivernais... Paul brought the surname of Nivernois to New France and it was replaced by that of Livernois."

 New France  
"...He signed a commitment for 5 years in the presence of the notary Lafousse, at Lafleche, on 23 March 1653. Because he was a carpenter, he was promised 100 livres as an annual salary. On 20 June, at the port of Saint-Nazairre, in the presence of the notary Belliote, he obtained a salary advance of 123 livres. That same day he boarded the ship Saint-Nicolas. The son of Francois Benot and of Dimanche Chappelain looked for the last time at the shores of his country..."

"Could the good ship Saint-Nicolas out of Nantes face the ocean squalls? The fact that the ship was not water-tight, was worm-eaten and rotten, might make a difference... After having traveled 350 leagues at sea, it was necessary to turn back... Only on 20 July did the replacement ship Sainte-Marguerite set sail for the New World... Finally, the contingent reached the port of Quebec on Monday, 22 September 1653."

The curate Pierre de Caumont presided at the funeral ceremony. Paul was 66 years old, according to the registry."

Paul Benoit and Elisabeth Gobinet

"...Paul must have been about 32 years old in the summer of 1658. The time to set up a home had sounded a long time ago. He courted a young girl, newly arrived from France, one Elisabeth Gobinet, daughter of the late Nicolas Gobinet and of Marguerite Largeleux, from Gondesse au Vexin, arrondissement of Montmorency, archdiocese of Paris. His fiancee was about 17 years old. Elisabeth and Paul had their marriage contract drawn up on 9 September 1658 by the notary Benigne Basset... According to the custom, the nuptial blessing took place on a Monday..."
