Marriage notes:
Jean Nicolet, who lived among the Nipissing for seven years as a clerk, interpreter and intermediary for a company of wealthy French merchants, first married a Nipissing woman. Their daughter was named Euphrosine Madeleine Nicolet. Euphrosine (also known as Madeleine) was born circa 1628. When Jean Nicolet returned to the French settlement of Québec around 1637 and married a French woman, it seems he brought Euphrosine with him. She was literate and could sign her name which she spelled UFroisine.
