1672 Murder
On 12 Aug 1671 “Elisabeth-Therese” married Julien (de) Latouche at Trois-Rivieres PQ. He was from the city, arrondissement, and diocese of LaRochelle, Aunis (now Charente-Maritime) France. She was 12 and a half years old at the marriage. He was about 30 years old and a former soldier in the company of Grandfontaine in the Regiment de Carignan. They were married by Father Andre Richard at L’Immaculee-Conception des Trois-Rivieres.
Latouche turned out to be lazy, domineering, abusive and alcoholic. Since he did not have his own farm, he worked for Maurice Poulin and later for Claude Jutras. He left both places probably due to laziness or drunkenness. He did not provide the food for his wife, so that Jacques Bertault had to send her meat, bread and eggs. Latouche also beat his young wife severely, so that she told him she wished he were dead. Bertault spoke about these things to his son-in-law, but to no avail. The parents could have taken the issue to the courts or simply
