Louis Tetreau - Life Events

Bio   Article from http:/worldconnect.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=4215&id=I153827: FROM FRANCE TO AMERICA "Louis Tétreau was the first Tétreau to go to New France (Canada). He was the son of Mathurin Tétreau and Marie Bernard and was born in 1634 in the parish of St-Martin-de-Ligugé, dioces e of Luçon, in the ancient province of Poitou, France. He arrived at Trois-Rivières, Québec , in 1662, as a domestic servant to the Jesuits. Here, he married Nathalie (or Noëlle) Landeau on June 9, 1663. She was the daughter of Jean Landeau and Marie Aubert, baptized November 2 , 1638 in the parish of Tossé (Jauzé), diocese of Mans, in the ancient province of Anjou, France. She had previously married Jean Beaudoin at Trois-Rivières on August 12, 1659, but he died there in 1662." "The wedding of Louis and Nathalie was attended by Magdeleine Baudry, Etienne de Lafond, Magde leine Hertel, Urbain Baudry, Joseph Massé dit Besnier and the notary Sévérin Ameau. A famous pioneer Jesuit, Rév. Claude-Jean Allouez, was the celebrant. The couple were financially well off and enjoyed a certain popularity. The widow of Jean Beaudoin was the sole heir of her dec eased husband's inheritance. Louis Tétreau was worth 400 pounds, a very large sum in those days. The marriage contract contained a clause that stipulated Madeleine Beaudoin, born in 166 2 of the marriage of Jean Beaudoin and Nathalie Landeau, would be nourished and kept in the family, and that she would partake of the same rights and same goods as the other children who might be born from the future marriage." "Louis Tétreau and his family lived at Trois-Rivières until 1667. Then they moved to Cap-de-la -Madeleine, to Champlain and to Ste-Anne-de-la-Pérade. The Iroquois killed their oldest son , Claude, in Montréal in September of 1695. Four years later, Louis Tétreau was buried at Champlain, on the shores of the St. Lawrence River. The register of the parish says that he wa s buried in the afternoon of June 22, 1699, having died in the morning of the same day. His sons Daniel and Joseph-Marie, and a great number of relatives and friends, attended at the funeral." "The marriage of Louis Tétreau and Nathalie Landeau produced all the families that bear the na me today, both in the United States and Canada. Variations of the name are: Tétreau, Tétreau lt, Tétrault, Tétro, and Tatro (in the U.S.). There are also other minor variations. The name Tétreau dit Ducharme originated with Joseph-Marie, son of Louis and Nathalie. Some time later, the name Jeannot, Janot, or Genault appears among some members of the Ducharme branch of the family living in the vicinity of Beloeil, Québec, and later in L'Acadie, Québec."

Birth   "Louis Tetreau, the son of Mathurin and of Marie Bernard, was born about 1635, in a small French locality called Louin whose parish church was under the protection of Saint-Martin. Today Louin is part of the canton of Saint-Loup-Lemaire and the arrondissement of Parthenay, in the department of Deux-Sevres... (Louis) appeared in the sidelights of our country's history when he was about 24 years old... Louis Tetreau's arrival at Trois-Rivieres did not go unnoticed because he had 'red' hair and a gift of gab... [came to New France around 1660]" Thomas J. Laforest Our French-Canadian Ancestors : Volume XVI, Page 193
