Philippe Noël and Marie Rondeau are my 8th great-grandparents Phillipe was the son of Francois Noël and Nicole Legrand, born to them on 28 December 1670 in Ste. Famille, Île d'Orleans, Quebec, Canada. He was baptized on the same day.1,3
He married Marie Rondeau on 5 November 1692, in St. Pierre, Île d'Orléans, Quebec, Canada.1,3,4Marie was born on 9 January 1672, also in Ste. Famille, the daughter of Thomas RONDEAU & Andree REMONDIÈRE.1,5
Phillipe Noel and Marie Rondeau had the following known children:
Angelique was baptized 15 February 1695 at St. Pierre. She married François Gosselin on 25 November 1720 at St. Pierre. François was the son of François & Marie Charlotte Cote, born to them 30 September 1689, also at St. Pierre. Angelique and François had 9 known children, with 7 surviving. The following child merits our attention:
Angelique and François relocated to St. Thomas sometime between 1732-1734 and lived out the rest of their lives there. François Gosselin was buried 18 May 1743. Angelique Noël followed 6 years later; she was buried 18 December 1749. They are both buried in St. Thomas.1,4Marie- Baptized 30 March 1728 at St. Pierre.

One son, Pierre-Marie Niel, died at the age of two. And the last surviving son, Antoine, died at the age of 21 without marrying or leaving any issue to carry Pierre's line into another generation.1,4
Their daughter Marie Anne, who was baptized 15 November 1742 in Québec City, married Nicolas Paradis 17 November 1760 at St. Pierre. He was the son of Ignace & Marie Anne Turcot.1

Marie lived another 15 years but never remarried. She died on 31 May 1751 at age 79 and was buried the next day. Both were buried at St. Pierre.1,2The In-Laws Sometimes we love 'em, sometimes we hate 'em; sometimes there's lots of them and other times they are few and far between! Either way, they are almost always a constant in our lives. Here are the folks that have come into this line through marriage, arranged alphabetically by the husband's surname. Note that if a set of in-laws have already been linked to another page in the body of this webpage, they won't be listed again here.
Augustin was baptized 22 June 1689 in the St. François parish of the Île d'Orléans; his parents were Joseph & Marie Madeleine Duchesne. Geneviève was the daughter of Olivier Gagné & Elisabeth Pepin; the latter is recorded as Isabelle in some records. Geneviève was baptized 28 September 1695 at Cap St. Ignace, Québec.
Augustin and Geneviéve were married on 8 November 1679 at Ste. Famille. Their children of interest are Pierre and Zacharie. Their death information is unknown.Very little is known about this couple at this time. Pierre Niel was born in 1662, the son of Pierre Niel & Jacquette Lefranc, who were married 1 May 1658 at Québec City. Pierre père was born about 1640 and buried in Québec 4 November 1700. Jacquette was born about 1645 and buried 2 November 1717 in Québec. Marguerite Vanier was born about 1672; her father was Germain Varnier.
Pierre and Marguerite were married in 1690. Their son is Pierre. No death details are known for Pierre Niel and Marguerite Vanier.1,4Jacques REMONDIÈRE & Renée RIVIÈRE The origins and date of birth of Jacques Remondière are unknown. Renée Rivière's parents are equally mysterious, but we do know that was born about 1630 in the parish of Notre-Dame-de-Cogne, La Rochelle, Aunis, France. The couple married sometime in 1650 at La Rochelle. A year later, their daughter Andrée was born.
Jacques Remondière died sometime before 1666, the year that Renée and Andrée left France for Canada. Many sources list Renée as a fille du roi along with her daughter Andrée. But while Andrée was actually a "King's Daughter", Renée was not. The proof of this lies in the 1666 census of Canada, who lists one Mathurin Croisis (actually Croiset) as a married man whose wife Renée Rivière had not yet joined him in Canada. And in the marriage contract of daughter Andrée, Renée and Mathurin are listed as Andrée's mother and father-in-law. Note: Obviously "father-in-law" is an error and should be stepfather. I don't know if that is an error in the original record or in the source.
Mathurin Croiset died at the Hôtel-Dieu de Québec 18 June 1697. Renée Rivière died 3 May 1699 at was buried the next day at St. Pierre, Île d'Orléans.5Thomas RONDEAU & Andrée REMONDIÈRE Thomas Rondeau was born in St. Soulle, La Rochelle, Aunis, France about 1638. His parents were Jean RONDEAU & Marie FOURESTIER, about whom nothing else is known. It is not known when Thomas, a nailsmith and a man of some education who could sign his name, came to New France. Andrée Remondière was a fille du roi from roughly the same area in France as Thomas; the parish of Notre-Dame-de-Cogne in La Rochelle, Aunis to be exact. She was born there about 1651 to Jacques REMONDIÈRE & Renée RIVIÈRE. Renée came to Canada in 1666 along with her mother. She came with a dowry of 100 livres and enough education to be able to sign her name.5
Thomas and Andrée appeared before notary Vachon somewhere on the Île d'Orléans on 31 October 1666 for the creation of a marriage contract--which we know they could both sign. The date of the wedding is not known.5
The couple stayed on the Île d'Orléans, in St. Pierre and had a family of 15 children. Their daughters Elisabeth and Marie married into our NOËL line at some point.5
The couple both died and were buried at St. Pierre. Andrée died first (after 15 children, who would wonder at it!!), passing on 21 November 1702 and was buried the next day; she was 51 years old. Thomas lived another 19 years, but never remarried. He died 10 November 1721 and was buried the next day at the ripe old age of 83.5Sources:
