Biography
RAGEOT, GILLES, clerk of court, notary, seigneur; b. c. 1642 at Saint-Jean-de-l’Aigle, diocese of Évreux (Orne, France), son of Isaac Rageot and of Louise Duret; d. at Quebec 1692.
Rageot came to Quebec in 1663 or shortly before. He began his career as recorder by virtue of being clerk of the registry of the Conseil Souverain. In 1666, however, he acquired more important functions. The Compagnie des Indes occidentales granted him two commissions in rapid succession: that of clerk of the seigneurial jurisdiction of the town of Quebec (5 May 1666), and that of notary in the jurisdiction of Quebec. Having been appointed by the company, Rageot had not the right to take the title of royal notary; Intendant Talon, however, who disputed the company’s right to appoint notaries, issued a warrant dated 7 Nov. 1666, whereby Rageot could henceforth practise as a royal notary. When the company finally withdrew from Canadian affairs (1674), Rageot decided to make sure of the validity of his
