Marriage notes:

Notre-Dame

Mme. BOYER returned to France, possibly to claim her inheritance, and returned pregnant in 1676. The daughter was baptized 14 jan 1677 at Que. She accused Madard CHOUART, Sieur DES GROSEILLIERS, the companion of Pierre-Esprit RADISSON, of being the father. He admitted having relations with her but denied that he was the father. He also claimed that she had been seen with several men in LaRochelle, France. He was ordered to pay 200 pounds damages and she was returned to her husband. She died sometime after 28 Jul 1710.
