Jean, son of Pierre Grondin and Marie Rigoulet

Sainte, daughter of Jean Midnaud dit Chapillon and Louise Cloussier

"...Sainte, more than 16 years old, however, had an unexpected daughter by Jean Fortin dit Membre, an accomplished seducer. The little Madeleine Mignault-Fortin was presented at the batpismal font on 26 April 1669. What did it matter! Jean Grondin made a lie out of the family name (it means grumbler). He loved Sainte Mignault and wanted to make her happy forever. He proposed to her."

"At the home of the Mignault parents, on 10 July 1669, there was the approval of the marriage contract in the presence of a crowd of relatives and friends... Jean and Sainte received the nuptial blessing at Beauport on the following 4 August, a Sunday, in the presence of the witnesses recorded in the registry of Quebec: Giroux and Lefebvre."
