Ancestor's Life Events

Biography   FROM: HTTP:/WWW.LEVEILLEE.NET/ANCESTRY/HISTNOTES.HTM "PHILIPPE AMYOT ARRIVED IN CANADA IN THE SUMMER OF 1635 FROM SOISSONS. HE WAS ACCOMPANIED BY HIS WIFE, ANNE CONVENT, AND TWO SONS, JEAN AND MATHIEU. ON AUGUST 26 1636, HE BAPTISED ANOTHER SON, CHARLES AT QUÉBEC. FOUR YEARS AFTER HIS ARRIVAL IN NEW FRANCE, PHILIPPE AMYOT DIED. HOWEVER, THROUGH HIS SONS, MATHIEU AND CHARLES, HE ESTABLISHED A LONG LINE OF DESCENDANTS WHICH TODAY NUMBER IN THE THOUSANDS. MATHIEU AMYOT WAS A DECISIVE AND ENTREPRENEURIAL MAN. HE WAS GRANTED LAND CONCESSIONS AT TROIS RIVIÈRES, SILLERIE, AND NEAT QUÉBEC. FROM THE LAST CONCESSION HE TOOK THE NAME VILLENEUVE SINCE IT WAS SITUATED NEAR POINTE VILLENEUVE. WITH THAT PACE, IT IS NO WONDER THAT HE BECAME ONE OF THE NOTABLE SETTLERS IN THE COLONY. THE INTENDANT, JEAN TALON, SOUGHT TO OBTAIN A TITLE FOR HIM FROM THE KING. THESE WERE GRANTED BY LOUIS XIV IN 1668, BUT UNFORTUNATELY MATHIEU AMYOT FAILED TO HAVE THEM REGISTERED WITH THE SOVEREIGN COUNCIL OF NEW FRANCE AND THEY BECAME WORTHLESS. ALTHOUGH HE WAS TITLED, HE NEVER BECAME A NOBLE. HE DIED DECEMBER 18, 1688. HIS BROTHER, CHARLES, WHO WAS TEN YEARS YOUNGER, STARTED TO TRAVEL WITH THE MISSIONARIES AT 14. ASIDE FROM BEING A MERCHANT LIVING IN THE LOWER TOWN (OF QUÉBEC), HE RECEIVED MANY LAND GRANTS. THE IMPORTANCE OF THE ROLE HE PLAYED IN QUÉBEC PLACED HIM AMONG THE MOST NOTED OF THE TIME. UNFORTUNATELY, CHARLES AMYOT DIED AT AN EARLY ARE ON DECEMBER 10 1669 ONLY NINE YEARS AFTER HIS MARRIAGE."
