Notre-Dame-de-Quebec

"...This proceeding, written up that same day by the notary Martial Piraube, was the first mention of the presence of Etienne Pepin de Lafond in New France. There is no more news of him until the day of his wedding, 30 January 1645, in Quebec. Etienne, son of Pierre and of Francoise Prieur, was a thirty year old carpenter originally from Saint-Laurent-de-la-Barriere, in Saintonge (Charente-Maritime). He married fifteen year old Marie, daughter of Gaspard Boucher and of Nicole Lemere. Marie was the sister of Pierre Boucher, the future governor of Trois-Rivieres."
