Marie-Madeleine GODIN dite CHATILLON was the child of Pierre GODIN dit CHATILLON and Jeanne-Marie ROUSSELIÈRE
Robert Henry or Henri of Rouen, France, evidently raised a Huguenot, also came to Acadia from Canada, where he was counted at Trois-Rivières in 1666 and 1667. He worked there as a domestic servant for Quentin Moral and was confirmed into the Roman Catholic faith at Trois-Rivières on 6 June 1666. Robert moved to Chignecto in c1676 perhaps with the seigneur of Beaubassin, Michel Le Neuf de la Vallière. In c1678, Robert married Marie-Madeleine, daughter of Pierre Godin dit Châtillon and Jeanne Rousselière. De Meulles counted them at Port-Royal in 1686; one wonders why they left Chignecto. Robert was age 43, and Marie-Madeleine was 20. They were living with four small children, including two sons and a daughter, the youngest child, only a baby, gender and name unrecorded (probably daughter Geneviève, born in January), who had not yet been baptized. De Meulles did not record the size of their farm, but he did say they owned 1 gun, 4 cattle, and 10 sheep. Marie-Madeleine gave Robert 13 children, including six sons who created families of their own.
