Fille a Marier  Filles a Marier 1634-1662"When the Company of 100 Associates began their settlement scheme, their plan of recruiting only families proved to be too costly, so instead they signed on single men; tradesman and labourers; who would be indentured for three years. However, this meant that more than 80% of the colonists were men, so even if they decided to stay at the end of their term, there was little hope of them starting a family, unless they chose a Canadian girl. But, since her family would never allow her, or her children, to leave their village; the company directors needed to avoid this from happening. So instead, they began recruiting "marriagable young girls", who would first sign a contract in France and then be given passage and a small dowry to become the wife of a Quebec settler. You might wonder why these young girls (many under 16), would risk the dangers and hardships, which by now most of France were well aware of; but believe it or not; for many it was the best option. At the time, marriages were arranged, so if the girl's family did not have the means to provide a sutable dowry, her only option was to become a nun, if she was Catholic; or marry beneath her station. In the case of the young Filles a Marier, though a marriage contract must be signed before departure, she had every right to refuse the union, once she met her husband-to-be. As a matter of fact, many of them did just that, and were provided safe passage home." |

Bio "Louise Therese Marie Lebreuil was born about 1636 in Sougeal, St Malo, Bretagne, France; the daughter of Jean Lebreuil and Marie Lecompte. She immigrated to the Quebec colony on September 29, 1659, arriving as a Filles A Marier; contracted to marry Sylvestre Vacher. The wedding took place on October 03, 1659, but just weeks later on October 26; Sylvestre was killed by the Iroquois." "Louise then married Marin Deneau on November 24, 1659 in Montreal. Marin was born about 1621 in Luche, Le Mans, Maine, France; the son of Clement Deneau and Julienne Roault. He and Louise would have six children before his death on October 29, 1678 at La Prairie, Quebec." "Louise would then marry a third time to Charles Boyer, a domestic at the Hotel Dieu Hospital in Montreal. Charles was born about 1631 at Vasles, Parthenay, Poitou (Deux Sèvres), France; the son of Pierre Boyer and Denise Refence. He died about 1700 and Louise on March 22, 1727 in Montreal."
