Québec Généalogie - What is a 'dit/dite' name?
When the first settlers came to Québec from France it was a custom to add a 'dit' nickname to the surname. The English translation of 'dit' is 'said'. The Colonists of Nouvelle France added 'dit' names as distinguishers. A settler might have wanted to differentiate their family from their siblings by taking a 'dit' name that described the locale to which they had relocated.
The acquiring of a 'dit' name might also be the result of a casual adoption, whereby the person wanted to honor the family who had raised them. Another reason was also to distinguish themselves by taking as a 'dit' name the town or village in France from which they originated. This custom ended around 1900 when people began using only one name, either the 'dit' nickname or their original surname.

Québec Généalogie - The Seigneurial System (1627 - 1854)The seigneurial system was a form of land settlement modeled on the French feudal system. It began in New France in 1627 with the formation of the Compagnie des Cent-Associés (or Company of 100 Associates), which was initially responsible for handing out land grants and seigneurial rights. The land was divided into five by 15 kilometer plots, usually along major rivers like the St. Lawrence. They were then further subdivided into narrow, but long lots for settlement. These lots were usually long enough to be suitable for faming, and they provided everyone who lived on them with equal access to neighbouring farms and the river. There were three main groups of people who lived off the land in this system: Seigneurs, Habitants and Engagés
Mathieu DAMOUR (D'AMOURS) dit DESCHAUFOURS was a seigneur.
Seigneurs were the most important colonists, as they were usually in the military or aristocracy prior to being a settler. These seigneurs then were charged with the task of subdividing large parcels of land into five by 15 kilometer concessions, then renting this land to a habitant. Under regulations set up by the French government in France, the seigneur could also set up a court of law, set up a mill on his land and organize a commune.

Notre-Dame
Mathieu, son of Louis D'Amours, conseilleur de Roy at the Chatelet in Paris, and Élisabeth Tessier, was born at Paris in c1618. His "ancestors belonged to the French nobility and had possessed seigneuries in Anjou." Mathieu reached Québec in October 1651 and the following April married Marie, daughter of Nicolas Marsolet de Saint-Aignan, the famous explorer and interpreter to the Algonquins, and Marie La Barbide; Mathieu was 33 years old, and his bride was 14, at the time of their wedding. Mathieu served as major of Québec and commanded "'a flying column.'" Evidently his service caught the eye of the powers that be. Beginning in September 1663, Mathieu served as one of the seven founding members of the Conseil sourverain de Québec and served on the Council until his death in October 1695, age 77. His power and influence enriched him materially as well as politically. In November 1672, he obtained a seigneurie at Matane, on the south shore of the lower St.-Lawrence; he thus became Mathieu D'Amours, sieur de Matane. He also received grants on Rivière St.-Jean and on Rivière Métis, as well as fishing rights on the lower St.-Lawrence. In the summer and fall of 1681, after receiving a fur trading license for Matane, he was imprisoned for two months in the Château Saint-Louis by his political enemy, Governor-General Frontenac. Nonetheless, considering the sieur de Matane's power and influence, and his wife having come from a prominent Canadian family, it was expected that their surviving sons, Louis, Mathieu, fils, René, Charles, and Bernard, also would receive seigneuries in New France. All five of them, in fact, received land grants on Rivière St.-Jean, in present-day New Brunswick, during the early 1680s, after Frontenac's recall to France. Louis received his seigneurie at Jemseg in 1683 and became Louis D'Amours, sieur de Chaffours et de Jemseg; he received a further grant along Rivière Richibouctou, on the Gulf of St. Lawrence coast, in September 1684. In October 1686, at Québec, Louis married Marguerite, daughter of Simon Guyon and Louise Racine, and would remarry to Anne, daughter of Acadians Jean Comeau l'aîné and Françoise Hébert, at Port-Royal in January 1708. Mathieu, fils's grant, which he received in September 1684, lay along an upper stretch of the river between Jemseg and Nashouat (also called Nashwaak). With the grant came the title, sieur de Freneuse. In October 1686, at Québec, the sieur de Freneuse married Louise, daughter of Simon Guyon and Louise Racine and widow of Charles Thibault, a sister of Mathieu, fils's older brother Louis's first wife Marguerite. De Meulles counted the D'Amours brothers on Rivière St.-Jean in 1686. Louis, sieur de Chauffours, was age 32, but wife Marguerite's age was unrecorded. The intendant found them with no children. Mathieu, fils, sieur de Freneuse, was age 28, but wife Louise's age was not recorded. Nor did de Meulles record them with any children. Also in the census, on Rivière St.-Jean, was Louis and Mathieu, fils's younger brother, René, sieur de Clignancour, still a bachelor, who, like his older brothers, had received a grant along Rivière St.-Jean in September 1684. De Meulles did not give the young seigneur's age, but he would have been 26. René would marry Charlotte-Françoise, daughter of Charles Le Gardeur and Geneviève Juchereau, at Québec in 1689 but return to his seigneurie on Rivière St.-Jean. Two younger sons of the sieur de Matane who also would be associated with greater Acadia--Charles de Louvières and Bernard de Plaine--were not counted on Rivière St.-Jean in 1686; still bachelors like older brother René, they likely were still in Canada.

The Lordship of Matane was granted to Sieur Mathieu D'Amours de Chauffours. Many fishermen then settled in the region to fish for cod and salmon.
The first settlements were made shortly after the concession of the seigneury of Matane in 1672 to Mathieu Damours, on both sides of the river.
