Marie Francoise Desportes
From freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/
~villandra/ lucillea/ a9.html#i329:
'Francoise originally came to Canada as a 'fille du roi', or 'King's daughter' - women who agreed to travel to the new settlements in North America and marry a settler there in exchange for a 50 pound dowry from the French King. Of the nearly 1000 women who undertook the journey, about 800 made it to Canada.They made contracts of marriage with the men who had originally settled the New World and usually married within a few days or weeks of the contract signing. Often the women broke the contracts, only to remake them or make new contracts with other men. Francoise had second thoughts and broke her contract before finally marrying Pierre Andre Renaud dit Locat'
