Discovering the Ancestry of Françoise CAPEL: Events, Photos & Historical Records
Unlike the other Filles A Marier, Francoise was not under contract to a future husband, but to the Church; and arrived in the small French Colony in 1650 to begin training with the Ursuline Sisters, in hopes of becoming a nun.
However, an event would take place that may have helped her to change her mind. On December 30, 1650; a fire broke out in the convent and Francoise, along with fourteen other women, fled from the building in terror. Soon after, in the journal of Mother Marie de l'Incarnation, there is the following notation: 'The Sister de Saint-Michel, Francoise Capel, left the Ursulines to go and live at the home of Madamoiselle de Grandmaison.' At that time Eleanore Grandmaison was widowed from Francois de Chavigny, and needed help with her seven young children; all under the age of ten.
