marriage found at Immaculee Conception, Trois Rivieres in Drouin Collection

He is the son of Joannes Leclerc and Joanna Lucia.
She is the daughter of Moysis Gendre and Joanna Grosse.

"Florent Clerc or Leclerc settled in Trois-Rivieres at the latest in 1657. The first notarized act registered in his name was his 'agreement' of marriage drawn up by notary Severin Ameau on 24 January 1658. This manuscript, 325 years old, is badly damaged, but all the same, we can read certain interesting details therein. Marie Gendre, the future bride, was the widow of Jean-Baptiste Bourgery and a native of Surgeres in Saint-onge... On the following 4 February, in the local chapel, Father Jacques de Laplace, Society of Jesus, blessed the union of Florent and Marie. Drawn up in Latin, this act reveals that the bride was the daughter of Moyse Gendre and Jeanne Grosse... Marie Gendre had married Jean-Baptiste Bourgery 15 years earlier and from this union 2 sons and 2 daughters were born."
