Biography
Étienne TRUDEAU — (1641 - 1712)

Pioneer Étienne Trudeau (Truteau) was laid to rest on July 22nd, 1712, at Montréal. Étienne had arrived in New France in 1659 aboard the St-André, a master carpenter engaged to work for the Sulpicians.

A few years after arriving, Étienne, 'big and strong with proven courage,' was noted for his bravery helping repel an attack by a group of Iroquois.

Étienne married Adrienne Barbier in 1667: all but one of their fourteen children were boys! They're ancestors of actress Angelina Jolie as well as the Canadian political family Trudeau.

Etienne Trudeau, the Ancestor of all the Trudeaux
'Etienne Trudeau, the Ancestor of all the Trudeaux, was said to be the son of Francois, Master Mason, and of Catherine Matinier, of Notre-Dame-de-Cogne, in the city of La Rochelle. He had been baptized in another parish of the same city: Saint-Marguerite, on 15 September 1641. His godparents were Etienne Vilain and Catherine Boulliot. This robust fellow, a master carpenter at eighteen and already noted for his fine work, decided to try an adventure in Canada. On 8 June 1659, before notary Demontreau and Jerome Le Royer, the Representative of Monsieur de Queylus, he signed a contract 'to do five years of military service in New France.' (1) Etienne left La Rocehlle on 2 July 1659 aboard the Sainte-Andre, a ship of 300 tons. Also aboard during the same crossing were Marguerite Bourgeoys, Jeanne Mance and two Sulpicians. (2)'

The donation called for the son to take care of the old folks by giving them butter, milk, and eggs, in addition to wheat, peas, etc. For this the son was heir not only to the land, but also to four oxen, six cows, two horses, four pigs, six ewes, and twenty-four chickens.

Then she retired to the home of her son, Jean-Baptiste, where she occupied a room until she died. The death certificate of grandmother Adrienne has never been found.'
