Biography
CUSSON, JEAN, farmer, seigneurial attorney, clerk of court, royal notary, and acting king’s attorney; b. 1632 or around 1635–36 at Clair, near Rouen (province of Normandy), son of Jean Cusson and Jacqueline Pépin; d. 8 April 1718 at Saint-Sulpice.
It has been said with a good deal of justice that the settlers of New France, craftsmen or soldiers rather than farmers, attracted moreover by the fur trade, had only a slight interest in farming. For many of them, cultivating their land remained a marginal activity and simply constituted, in the final analysis, a necessary means of supplementing their income but one which they endured impatiently and got rid of at the first opportunitet there were true habitants; Jean Cusson belonged to that group. After his marriage on 16 Sept. 1656, at Trois-Rivières, to Marie Foubert, a girl 15 years of age who originally came from Rouen, Cusson settled down at Cap-de-la-Madeleine. By 1667 the couple owned 7 head of cattle and 28 acres of land under...Read full story
