daughter of Jacques Cerisier and Marie Lalande
There is a bit of confusion over her founding mother status, since she appears as both a Filles A Marier, and Filles Du Roi, though in fact she was an Indentured Servant. However, she was definitely a founding mother, marrying Francois Duclos on November 26, 1665 at Cap-De-Madeleine, with whom she had eight children.

Marriage notes:
PRDH indicates that Francois Duclos and Jeanne Cerisier signed a contract of marriage in 1665 at an undetermined place in Quebec, Canada.
"On 26 November 1665, notary Jacques de Latouche drew up their marriage contract. This document reveals that Francois was the son of Charles Duclos and of Madeleine Boutart, from Manerbe in Normandy. Father Godbout, who did the research in this area, discovered the birth record of the ancestor - he was baptized at Blangy on 12 March 1627. His mother was not a Boutart, but a Bouffart. Blangy is a small locality situated near Manerbe, diocese of Lisieux, district of Pont-l'Evesque, in Normandy (Calvados). The religious ceremony must have followed the signing of the marriage contract, but we know neither the place nor the exact date. We may presume that the nuptial blessing took place at Cap-de-la-Madeleine, the groom's place of residence."

Birth — 163722 April 1637
Mosnes, St-Martin, Indre-et-Loire, France
'Jeanne Cerisier, born in 1641 in the town of Amboise in Tourraine, was the daughter of Jacques and of Marie Lalande. She probably arrived in Quebec on 15 May 1664 - on the following 3 June she received the sacrament of confirmation from the hands of Msgr de Laval. Jeanne hurried less than others to take a husband. Some 'King's Daughters', even at the age of 13 or 14, were married several weeks after their arrival - Jeanne, nearly an old maid at the age of 23, waited a year and a half before saying yes to someone - that someone was Francois Duclos.'
