1642 Birth 3 April 1642
Trois-Rivières, Canada, New France
'Jean dit Bellerive et Saint-Francois (1642-1693), married Marguerite Hertel de la Fresniere in 1663. As the seigneur of Saint-Francois-du-Lac, he was harvesting with several of his habitants, in the fall of 1693, when they were set upon and captured by the Iroquois. They took the prisoners back to their base near Albany and proceeded to torture them. They tore out Creviers fingernails and were preparing to burn him at the stake when, Colonel Peter Schuyler, commander of Fort Albany, hearing the news, ransomed him for fifty louis: Crevier died in Albany from his ordeal soon thereafter.'

Biography
CREVIER DE SAINT-FRANÇOIS, JEAN, furtrader, a prominent person in the colony; b. 3 April 1642 at Trois-Rivières, son of Christophe Crevier dit La Meslée and Jeanne Énard; d. shortly after August 1693.

1678 - Seigniory (St. Francois) Granted, Oct. 8, 1678, to Sieur Creviere
The seigneury of Saint-François, as sold by Pierre Boucher to Jean Crevier in 1673, had a frontage and a half leagues on the lake and a league deep inland. It extended on the left bank of the Saint-François river, but still included, on the right bank, along the Tardif channel, a strip where it touched the seigniory of Lussaudière. A few years later, in 1678, Jean Crevier had Governor Frontenac and Intendant Duchesneau grant him another league deep, behind his seigniory and also behind that of Lussaudière, i.e. two and a half leagues wide.
