Marriage notes:

Marriage record not found at Saint-Anne-de-Beaupre in Drouin Collection for this date.

"Marguerite had signed a marriage contract on the Beaupre Coast on 4 December 1667. Her future husband was none other than Jacques Achon, the brother of Ozanne Achon married to Ancestor Pierre Tremblay. The Bonnefoy-Achon couple settled on a farm at L'Ange-Gardien, near Chateau-Richer, where in the census of 1667 Jacques Achon and Charles Davenne together owned 16 arpents of land under cultivation and 4 head of cattle... Unfortunately, Jacques died after the birth of his second daughter and before the fulfillment of all his dreams. His burial act has been lost."
