Marriage notes:

Marie Miteouamigoukoué was born around 1632 in the Trois-Rivières area. She belonged to a Christian branch of the Weskarini who lived near the mission in Trois-Rivières under the protection of the French.

Marie’s first marriage was to a member of her band, a man called Assababich. They had at least three children together. However, in 1652 there was yet another horrific offensive on the part of the Iroquois, a raid that turned into a massacre, with the Iroquois winning the day. As a result, Assababich was killed and two of their children taken captive by the enemy. A daughter born in 1647, named Catherine, was baptized in November 1652 in Trois-Rivières, months after her father's death.

April 1652 -- '...Several days before, a band of Iroquois warriors had attacked her village, the village to which Assababich, her husband, her two children and a very close cousin had fled when the Iroquois had pushed the Hurons, then the Algonkins from the fertile Ottawa River Valley (border between Ontario and Québec). Led by Sachem Pachirini, chief of the Weskarini Band of the Christian Algonquin people, the peaceful clan, along with the French Colonists at Trois-Rivières had fought valiantly. The women and children had fled into the forest while the remaining warriors and soldiers fought to save their peaceful village. During the flight into the woods, Assababich's two children were abducted and eventually adopted by the Iroquois, along with Wahwahsekona or Fleur-de-la-Prairie, a cousin of Mite8ameg8k8e…'
