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

Jean-Baptiste-François DESCHAMPS DE LA BOUTEILLERIE 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.

Biography

DESCHAMPS DE LA BOUTEILLERIE, JEAN-BAPTISTE-FRANÇOIS, seigneur of Rivière-Ouelle; baptized 1646 at Cliponville, son of Jean Deschamps, seigneur of Costecoste, Montaubert, and Landres (France), and of Élisabeth Debin; buried 16 Dec. 1703 at Rivière-Ouelle. His title La Bouteillerie came from his paternal grandmother, Suzanne La Bouteiller, Dame de La Bouteillerie.

It was long believed that Jean-Baptiste-François Deschamps de La Bouteillerie had come to America in 1665 with the Carignan regiment, but this is not the case. He sailed in June 1671 on the Saint-Jean-Baptiste “with two carpenters, two masons, and four labourers to clear land not exceeding 1,000 acres which the king had given him.” Michel-Claude Guibert, who reports this fact, adds that the ship also carried “100 men, 120 king’s daughters [filles du roi], 50 sheep and ewes, 10 asses and she-asses, cloth, blankets, and many other things for man’s everyday life and use.” The arrival of this nobleman greatly pleased Talon*,
