Remember you !!

By Yolande Laurion-Lalonde

REMEMBER YOU GRAND-MAMAN !!

Before 1663, there were not many women in Canada. The men reserved so the girls in very low age to have the certainty that one day they could start a home and family. They crossed a marriage certificate at the notary without however taking ownership of the child. Even men very often crossed three or four contracts. I noticed it in the family Lalonde. Jean cancelled four marriages. Towards the age of 12 years or in the maturity of the girl, the pretenders had to respect their contract, otherwise marriage was cancelled. If the little girl was not 12 years old, the husband had to live at the parents of the wife. There was an exemption to be paid to the church. With the arrival of the "Filles du Roi", a lot of marriage were so cancelled. These girls were "ready"!

In the index of Laurion, I get up:

•    30 filles du Roi
•    2 natural children
•    2 persons killed of Iroquois
•    2 persons prisoners of Iroquois

All ancestors Laurion are French origin except:

•    2 english
•    2 portuguese
•    20 unknown origin

Beautiful and big family Lalonde
All and each due to professions contributed to the development of Nouvelle France and Québec. Soldiers, plougmen, traders, travelers, notaries, carpenters, guaranteed the future of the country. Even in this time, we notice that the cod-fishing was commercialized.

In the index of Lalonde, I get up:

•    30 filles du Roi
•    1 saulnier
•    1 natural child
•    7 killed of Iroquois
•    7 prisoners of Iroquois

All ancestor Lalonde are also French origin except:

•    7 Irishwomen
•    1 english
•    1 german
•    1 american
•    10 unknowns

Mathurin

Children of Mathurin and his spouses

Catherine

The more I get ahead in this work, more Catherine Lorion fascinates me. She arrived at Quebec before her father Mathurin.
By these 4 marriages, she takes a big part in the populating of Quebec. As you can observe it, you more often find Catherine Lorion as grandmother than her father Mathurin. In date, you notice that she is the ancestor in 2 very different families, like Lapointe and Piché.

Jeanne

Renée

Marie

Jean

Les petits-enfants de Mathurin

Mathurin had more than eleven children. The elder daughters of France got married certainly but I can not know how much they had of children. I am sure that he has had just a son, who call Jean. The others are also dead very young.

The 5 children of Mathurin come from France and married here gave him forty six little children.

Two of the wives of Mathurin are your grandmothers: Françoise Morinet and Jeanne Bizet. Only

Jeanne Bizet came in Nouvelle France.

Three husbands of Catherine are your ancestors: Jean Simon, Nicholas Millet and Pierre Desautels.
It is Jean, his only son, who perpetuated the name of Laurion-Lorion in Canada and the United States.

Mathurin was a ploughman. He arrived at Quebec then settled down in Montreal where got married all his children. He had as neighbours: Urbain Tessier, Jacques Archambault, Michel Brouillet, Marin Janot Lachapelle and Simon Galbrun.

Coincidence maybe not as strange as it can appear, because then, the families moved in group by going away from the river to base the other parishes. Of Montreal, the descendants lived In Repentigny, l'Assomption, St Paul de Joliette.

Simon Galbrun arrived at Montreal in 1653, He is turned out dead in the municipality. His wife, Françoise Duverger will be accused to have collaborated in his murder and as a consequence hanged.

As regards Urbain Tessier, he arrived in Nouvelle France before the arrival of the soldiers of Carignan. He gets married towards the age of twenty years while his wife is only 12 years and seven months old. It did not spoil Anne Archambault's health, his wife, because she died in 83 years having given birth to 16 children.

Paul Tessier, his son had as godfather Mr. de Maisonneuve and as godmother Jeanne Mance.

In the archives of Prévauté of Montreal, we can read :

Urbain Tessier against Catherine Lorion

Lawsuit for damages caused with the cattle, the damages in the fields of wheat

We does not know who won...

Jacques Archambault was the father-in-law of Urbain Tessier. He would have been the first well maker of Montreal. When we proceeded in 1929 to excavations necessary for the implementation of one radiate to receive the building Aldred, Place d'Armes, we found the hole which the ancestor dug in 1658 at the request of the Mr. Maisonneuve.

In the judicial documents preserved in the archives of Montreal, we find incidents relative to the surgeon Bouchard. On October 29, 1661, it is said that the wife of Marin Janot dit Lachapelle had committed excesses on the person of Etienne Bouchard on the public highway.

Etienne Bouchard also noticed the death of Simon Galbrun.

Lachapelle's name comes simply of the native place of Marin. He arrived in 1653 with the Recrue. He was sailor in the army and drowned himself the 25.7.1664. The body was found in Throis Rivières and inhumed in this place.

His son Pierre married Pétronille Tessier, the girl of Urbain Tessier. Pierre neglect his earth to travel as far as Fort Pontchartain or Michigan. The notary of time wrote: " Pierre leaves his only 15 year old young wife. He left for Illinois with his employee Louis Brousseau. Urbain Tessier would indeed like to give leave to this intruder. It is he who provides in the good of the family ".

The wife of Michel Brouillet, Marie Dubois, comes from Fort Louis who call now Lachine.

First Laurion was all farmers. I do not find big thing on their subject with the exception of Catherine and of Renée.

Jeanne Bizet died in Pointe aux Trembles where she was interred in 1698. She was the girl of André Bizet and Françoise Merlet French People.

I don't have information about the other children of Jean and Marie-Anne. They were born between 1702 and 1719 and their marriages are not registered in dictionaries because they exceed 1720.

There was Jean-Baptiste, André, Thérèse, Jacques Antoine, Marie-Catherine, Pierre, Angélique, Louis, Hélène Véronique, this last one died the same year of her birth.

To set out the west mean that these descendants emigrated in United States of America.

Rose's history it is not the history of the soup of buttons. It is a true story which happened in 1938.

I remember myself, it was a winter day and we waited for the visit of uncle Jos, brother of grandpa Raoul, my dad. Jos had a big news to be learnt us.

He entered so blast, removed his overcoat and as usual, took dad by shoulders and squeezed him very hardly by saying to him:

" Raoul, I am going to tell you something. It is not necessary to make you worries, it is not very heavy. There was for a long time that I doubted but now I have the certainty that it's true. You and Cécile, you are married among relatives"

Dad goes pale, mom denied, quite offended. And I hardly eight years, I did not understand anything.

Jos it is a bad narrator said mom. Because then, there was always somebody of the family who told the history of the family because nobody knew how to read. But I in my small head, I believed uncle Jos. I so loved him especially when he declaimed us "La vierge aux souliers d'or" of Jean Narrache. He was very intellectual but liked also taking a small drink. When, as him, I shall have a small drink in the body, I shall tell you this history of la vierge aux souliers d'or. Ha Ha

You see, I am also a Lalonde. By wanting to tell you Rose's history, I got lost me went here is, well far from my subject.

You see Marilou, that took me fifty years to discover the "secret".

Raoul Lalonde and Cécile Marleau were really married among relatives. These family relationships were remote but real. I tell you:

Baptiste Lalonde had had several children of whom Rose and Guillaume. This last one engendered his lineage which is that of all Lalonde until Yolande, by way of Raoul. Rose was so Guillaume's sister, she married Joseph Gauthier, gave birth to the family Gauthier, that is my maternal great-grandmother, the grandmother of Cécile Marleau, the mother of Marie-Louise Piché.

It is very difficult to explain. You will understand better on the sketch than I made you.

If it was a surprise for Raoul and Cécile to learn that they were relatives, it was one for me also to learn that I had only a single grandfather.

These things will just be for me! And it is fault to Rose!!!

This union gave birth to 2 girls: Francine and Louise.

Description of the reunification of our lineage of the side Laurion

There it is I who am relatives with your grandfather Roger!!

And I believe that it is so for the most part of the French-Canadian

We are every relatives due to our ancestors come from France.

It is not wonderful? What there is still of grander, it is that you carry in you one gene of each grandfathers. It is for that that you are you, that you don't look like anybody, either physically, or morally.

On the other hand, there is a family tie among all the Quebecois. Some can have one or several same ancestors. When you read Lalonde dit l'Esperance or Desmarais dit Beaulac, you were able to understand that the families were subdivided. A group kept the name Lalonde and the other l'Esperance. These last ones go down also the same ancestors.

That makes really many relatives and is so forms a nation. Be proud of your genealogy! She is beautiful. Be proud also to be a French-Canadian! Your nation is physically beautiful, socially rich and morally brave.

Remember you, it is at the most 400 years of history, a simple history ensuing from the laborious exile of a handle of Frenchman. There is well some Italians, German, Irish or Indian, but you can consider Quebecois pure laine. You are a part so of this history. Your name is registered for ever in the Quebecois registers.

In spite of your young age, you travelled a lot in Quebec and the miracles of the nature dazzled you. Your ancestors bequeathed you the taste of the big spaces and the adventure. Goes it is in your turn to live and to engender life.

Take care of your environment. Stimulate beings and things which surround you with your kindnesses and your smiles. The happiness which you wish will spring.
