Notre-Dame-de-Quebec

Rene Maheust and Jeanne Garnier

"A happy couple lived on the Beaupre Coast at what is now L'Ange-Gardien. They were Rene Maheu and Jeanne Garnier, married at Quebec on 30 July 1657. Rene, baptized on 2 July 1632 at St-Langis-le-Mortagne, was the son of Zacharie Maheu dit Point-du-Jour and Leonarde Foucquest. The bride Jeanne Garner, daughter of Sebastien and of Marie Roux, was born at Saint-Denis, Ile d'Oleron, arrondissement of Rocherfort, diocese of La Rochelle, in Sainteonge, today la Charente-Maritime. This twenty-one-year old girl had contracted for Canada on 10 April 1657. She was a strong and courageous woman. Rene and Jeanne had their only son Rene baptized at Quebec on 10 June 1658, by the Sulpicien Gabriel de Queylus. Alas! Jeanne Garnier's husband died before the spring of 1659."

Marriage notes:

"Pierre Gendreau dit LaPoussiere, the godfather of Pierre Delamarre, was willing to protect his godson and his mother. On 12 January 1663, notary Audouart drew up a third marriage contract for Jeanne Garnier. The thirty-three year old Pierre Gendreau, accepted Jeanne as his wife and lawful spouse, at Chateau-Richer on 24 January... There were ten years of happiness which made six flowers of life bloom, six Canadian branches of the Gendreau family. But the youngest, Genevieve Gendreau, was still unborn when her father left Jeanne Garnier before 12 October 1673."

Jacques BARBEAU
Marriage date: 9 February 1681
Marriage place: L'Ange-Gardien, Montmorency, Canada, New France

Marriage notes:

"After the loss of her third husband, Jeanne Garnier remained bewildered. She lived in mourning for eight years with her nine children from three marriages. They say that time heals all wounds and helps one to forget. Jacques Barbeau, a 58 year old bachelor shoemaker, proposed marriage to her on 22 October 1679. The contract drawn up by notary Auber was accepted, but it was only on 9 February 1681 that Jeanne and Jacques were joined in bonds of matrimony, at the church of L'Ange-Gardien. This fourth husband died on 18 November 1687."

1656 - The pendulum clock is invented (Christiaan Huygens, Netherlands)

'Jeanne Garnier must not have believed in the charlatans, either, but when she left her native Saintonge in 1657, she was undoubtedly far from suspecting what fate had in store for her in the new colony her entire life was marked with cruel trials and overwhelming sorrows.'
