Marriage notes:

Marriage not found at Sainte-Famille-de-L'Isle-d'Orleans, QC, Canada in Drouin Collection. Records are sporadic for this timeframe.

PRDH indicates that this marriage took place at Sainte-Famille in 1669.

"Thus life silently moved along until the middle of the summer of 1669. One Monday afternoon, 5 August to be exact, Antoine Drapeau, accompanied by his notary Pierre Duquet went to Quebec to the house of Jeanne Duguay, widow of Antoine LeBoesme dit Lalime. Living there was Marie-Charlotte Joly, the one his heart had chosen to accompany him in the founding of his home... On the following 20 August, the missionary priest Thomas Morel blessed their union in the only church on the island at the time, Sainte-Famille, in the presence of the witnesses summoned for this honor: Pierre Loignon, Francois Dupont and Maurice Arrive."
