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." |

Marie was my ancestor. My maternal grandmother, Laura Petit dit Beauchemin born in 1870 was the direct descendant of Nicolas and Marie''s sixth child Nicolas ( born 23-10-1664. Nicolas married Marie Réguindeau in 1693 at Boucherville Québec. In 2006 I published a book of historical fiction "Dauntless Spirit" about the life of Marie Pomponnelle pioneer wife and mother.
