Marie  GRANDIN

Biography
'We are now in 1670. It has been six years since Jean Baudet arrived in New France. Well accustomed to the new world , he decides to raise a family.

Now let us talk about the woman who shared her life with Jean Baudet and became the ancestor to all the Beaudet families of America. Her name was Marie Grandin, a French orphan girl, newly arrived in Canada. Marie, daugther of Michel Grandin and Marie Lejeune, was born in St-Euverte parish in the city of Orléans, today part of the department of Loiret-sur-La-Loire, a district about 125 km south of Paris. Marie was nineteen years old and was part of a contingent of girls called 'Les Filles du Roi' when she left for Canada.'

1715 Death
'When did Jean Beaudet see the sun disappear below the horizon for the last time? A secret of history. On 13 July 1714, an inventory of his remaining property was taken. And on 25 February 1715, Ancestress Marie Grandin devoted herself to her son Charles. She died at the Hotel-Dieu of Quebec on 14 July 1715, on a Sunday, the Lord's day.'
