Catherine  DODIER

Biography
'Catherine Dodier was born about 1633 at St. Martin D'Ige Parish in Mortagne, Perche, France; the daughter of Sebastien Dodier and Marie Bonhomme. When she was just a baby, her father travelled to 'New France', probably recruited by his cousin Gaspard Boucher; where he remained for three years working as a carpenter. At the end of his contract, in 1636; he went back to Perche and resumed his former life.'

'Two more children were born; Sebastien and Marie; and with a growing family and few opportunities; he was lured by the promise of land in the new colony, for anyone willing to work.

The following year, a son Michel was born, who died in infancy, and within another three years, Marie-Perrine and Pierre. '
