Ancestor's Life Events

Birth "Antoine Drapeau, son of Pierre and of Marguerite Mergatonne, was born about 1646 in the parish of Notre-Dame, town of Fontenay-le-Comte, today the capital of the arrondissement of the department of Vendee, part of the former province of Poitou... When about 20 years old, Antoine heard the call of the sea, to the unknown America. The death of his father eased the burden of separation. He bid his adieux to his loved ones, shouldered his seabag and headed towards La Rochelle, the large seaport which had already seen many others depart." Thomas J. Laforest Our French-Canadian Ancestors : Volume XVIII, Page 93 |

1666 Census "From the census of 1666, we learn that Antoine Drapeau was already living among our people on the Ile d'Orleans. He was in the service of Antione Pepin dit Lachance, and stated he was 24 years old." Thomas J. Laforest Our French-Canadian Ancestors : Volume XVIII, Page 94 |

1717 Death "On Monday, 23 August 1717, the pastor Charles Plante, a child of the country and native of the Ile d'Orleans, was waiting in his priestly robes on the steps of the small church of Beaumont for the arrival of the body of Antoine Drapeau. With a cross in front carried by an altar boy, there was a solemn processional, then the mass, the homily and the libera. The parish had just lost one of its peaceful founders. Jean Arrive and Jacques Girard, son of Joachim and of Marie Halay, served as privileged witnesses." Thomas J. Laforest Our French-Canadian Ancestors : Volume XVIII, Page 100 |

Source: Le Programme de recherche en démographie historique - Univeriste de Montreal Marriage not found at Sainte-Famille-de-L'Isle-d'Orleans, QC, Canada in Drouin Collection. Records are sporadic for this timeframe. PRDH indicates that this marriage took place at Sainte-Famille in 1669. "Thus life silently moved along until the middle of the summer of 1669. One Monday afternoon, 5 August to be exact, Antoine Drapeau, accompanied by his notary Pierre Duquet went to Quebec to the house of Jeanne Duguay, widow of Antoine LeBoesme dit Lalime. Living there was Marie-Charlotte Joly, the one his heart had chosen to accompany him in the founding of his home... On the following 20 August, the missionary priest Thomas Morel blessed their union in the only church on the island at the time, Sainte-Famille, in the presence of the witnesses summoned for this honor: Pierre Loignon, Francois Dupont and Maurice Arrive."
