Michel  CHRETIEN dit LEBRUN

Michel was indeed the son of Jacques Chretien and Catherine Nivard. The officiating priest N. Poussier indicated that the godfather and godmother were Louys Douard and Anne Nivard, probably relatives of their tiny godson.'

He lived there until death called him more than a half-century later.'

'That date of 27 February let it be understood that the pioneer from Touraine arrived in New France at the latest in the preceding year, perhaps even 1662, if we take into account the duration of the indenture contracts of this era, i.e., generally for three years...'
