Exploring the Ancestry of Louis PRUD'HOMME: Events, Pictures, and Documents

Biography
PRUD’HOMME, LOUIS, pioneer, churchwarden, brewer, corporal and militia captain of Montreal, son of Claude Prud’homme and Isabelle Aliomet; b. c. 1611 at Pomponne (Île-de-France); d. 1 July 1671 at Montreal.

After arriving in New France in 1641 at the latest and being one of the first to settle at Ville-Marie (Montreal), he received in October 1650 a grant of land close to the fort and adjoining that of Michel Chauvin, whose bigamy he disclosed to Governor Chomedey de Maisonneuve. As it happened, Prud’homme had discovered, in the course of a trip to France that very year, that Chauvin had a wife there whom he had married before setting out for the colony. Hence this second marriage to Anne Archambault, celebrated at Quebec in 1647, was annulled in 1651 and Chauvin was banished from Ville-Marie. This judgement is the earliest one pronounced by the founder of Montreal that has come down to us. In 1654, 1662, and 1666, Prud’homme received further grants of land.
