Québec Généalogie - The Seigneurial System (1627 - 1854)The seigneurial system was a form of land settlement modeled on the French feudal system. It began in New France in 1627 with the formation of the Compagnie des Cent-Associés (or Company of 100 Associates), which was initially responsible for handing out land grants and seigneurial rights. The land was divided into five by 15 kilometer plots, usually along major rivers like the St. Lawrence. They were then further subdivided into narrow, but long lots for settlement. These lots were usually long enough to be suitable for faming, and they provided everyone who lived on them with equal access to neighbouring farms and the river. There were three main groups of people who lived off the land in this system: Seigneurs, Habitants and Engagés
Nicolas PERROT (PERRAULT) was a seigneur.
Seigneurs were the most important colonists, as they were usually in the military or aristocracy prior to being a settler. These seigneurs then were charged with the task of subdividing large parcels of land into five by 15 kilometer concessions, then renting this land to a habitant. Under regulations set up by the French government in France, the seigneur could also set up a court of law, set up a mill on his land and organize a commune.

Le Programme de recherche en démographie historique - Univeriste de Montreal
Madeleine RACLOS was the child of Bon RACLOS and Marie-Jeanne VIENNOT
Cap-de-la-Madeleine records in Drouin Collection begin in 1673
PRDH indicates that a marriage contract was signed in 1671 at an undetermined place in Quebec, Canada between Nicolas Perrault and Madeleine Raclos
"It was in this same year, 1671, while at the height of his fame, that Nicolas Perrot decided to establish a home... The fact remains that on 11 November, he was in Champlain to sign his marriage contract in front of the notary Guillaume de La Rue. The nuptial ceremony must have taken place immediately thereafter, but, unfortunately, the civil record has been lost. The notarized document tells us that Nicolas was the son of Francois Perrot and Marie Sirot (or Sivot), from Darcey, diocese of Autun in Bourgogne. The future bride was Marie-Madeleine Raclos, daughter of Bon (Godebon or Ildebon) Raclot (or Raclos) and of Marie Viennot, of Paris."

Our French-Canadian Ancestors : Volume IV, Page 209-210
"In 1671, Nicolas married Madeleine Raclos who was born in 1654 in Paris, France, the second child of Godebon Raclos and Marie Viennot. Madeleine had recently immigrated to New France from Paris with her two sisters as Filles du Roi or "King's Daughters" --a program sponsored by King Louis XIV to promote the settlement and population of the colony. The girls were accompanied by their father who provided each of his daughters with a dowry of 1,000 livres and then returned to France after seeing them well married."
