This family surname started as Miguet. The Latremouille was added as a dit name at some point, and then the Miguet was dropped altogether. Because the path from Latremouille to Noel was primarily female, there will be quite a few direct line surnames on this page. In between "the begats" that will occur on this page, there will be more than one interesting story--I promise!
Charles Phillipe LATREMOUILLE - Marie HINS
My 5th great-grandparents Charles Philippe LATREMOUILLE was born 23 August 1781 in Boucherville, Quebec, to Jean Marie MIGUET dit Latremouille and Marie Anne RACICOT. He was baptized on the same day; his godparents were Charles Racicot and Marie Magdeleine Laforge.
After the customary publication of 3 banns, Charles Philippe married Marie HINS on 23 October 1809 at St. Joseph, Chambly, Chambly, Quebec. Charles Philippe supported his family as a farmer.
Charles Philippe and Marie had 16 children; their 10th child was Marguerite LATREMOUILLE--my 4th great-grandmother.
Although Marguerite was 10th in the birth order, she grew up as the second youngest of the surviving 9 children. The next 5 born after her died--including a set of twins that only lived 16 days.
Marie Hins died sometime between 25 June 1832 (the birth of her last child) and 7 January 1846. The latter date was the date of Marguerite's marriage to Moise Noel. Marie Hins is listed as "defunct" in that record. Charles Philippe Latremouille was listed in the 1851 Lacolle census; he died sometime after that.Jean Marie MIGUET dit Latremouille - Marie Anne RACICOT
My 6th great-grandparents Jean Marie MIGUET dit Latremouille was baptized 30 January 1747 in Boucherville, Quebec, the son of Jacques Urbain MIGUET dit Latremouille. Jean Marie's birth record lists his surname as Latremouille.
Marie Anne RACICOT was born and baptized 20 October 1752 in Boucherville, Quebec, the daughter of Joseph RACICOT and Françoise FAVREAU.
Jean Marie and Marie Anne were married on 3 November 1772 at St. Famille in Boucherville. Their only known child is Charles Philippe LATREMOUILLE.
However, their son would never know his father. Jean Marie died 15 February 1781 and was buried in Boucherville the next day; 6 months before Charles Philippe's birth. It is not known when Marie Anne died.Jacques Urbain MIGUET dit Latremouille - Marie Josette LESEUR
Joseph RACICOT - Françoise FAVREAUMy 7th great-grandparents
Jacques Urbain MIGUET dit Latremouille was the son of Silvain Jacques MIGUET dit Latremouille and Marie Anne VAUDRY. He was born 20 October 1709 in Montreal and baptized the same day in that city's Basilque Notre-Dame. He had little education, evidenced by the fact that he couldn't sign his name.
Marie Josette or Joseph LESUEUR was born to Jean-Baptiste LESUEUR and Louise DENOYON on 30 April 1713 in Boucherville and was baptized the same day. She seemed to prefer to be called "Josette", as she signed her name that way.
Jacques Urbain and Marie Josette were married in the bride's hometown of Boucherville on 31 August 1733, with Josette signing the marriage record.
The couple appears to have settled in Boucherville, as their son, Jean Marie, was born there. They were both buried there as well. Josette was first, interred on 19 June 1751. Jacques Urbain lived another 29 years before dying on 30 July 1780. He was buried the next day "in the cemetery" (unknown which one) at Boucherville.
Joseph RACICOT was born in 1726 to Jacques RACICOT and Marie Jeanne L'ABBE.
Françoise FAVREAU was born in 1725 to Jean FAVREAU and Jeanne MEUNIER.
After the traditional publication of 3 banns, the couple wed on 29 April 1748 in Boucherville. Both of their signatures are missing from the record--we must assume that they could not sign their names.
Their daughter, Marie Anne, was also born in Boucherville. It is unknown where or when this couple died.Sylvain Jacques MIGUET dit Latremouille -

My 8th great-grandparents Sylvain Jacques MIGUET dit Latremouille was born about 1666 in St. Syvran, Poitiers, Poitou, France. It is not know when he immigrated to Canada. Tanguay's Dictionary lists him as the "Seargeant of the Company of Beauville".
Marie Anne VAUDRY was born about 1667 in Cap-de-la-Madeleine, Quebec. She is listed as "Marie Anne in her baptismal record; Tanguay refers to her as simply "Marie". She was widowed by Claude Crepin, who she married at Montreal in 1692.
Sylvain Jacques Miguet dit Latremouille and Marie Anne Vaudry were married 27 November 1706 in Montreal. They had two known children; Marie Renée and Jacques Urbain.
Marie-Anne Vaudry died 15 October 1720 in Montreal, just shy of the couple's 14th anniversary. Ten months later, Sylvain Jacques followed suit; dying on 4 August 1721 in Montreal and being buried the same day. The lack of a 24-hour waiting period for his burial may indicate death by a contagious disease. They were both buried at the Basilique Notre Dame in Montreal.
Jean-Baptiste Lesueur was born about 1668; the place of this event is unknown. His parents were Jean LESUEUR and Marie LEBEAU.
Louise Denoyon was born 26 September 1690 at Boucherville, Quebec. She was baptized on the 28th at Boucherville, accompanied to the baptismal font by godparents Mathurin Richard/Marguerite Verroneau. Her parents were Jean Andre DENOYON and Marie CHAUVIN.
Jean-Baptiste Lesueur and Louise Denoyon were married 29 November 1710. The custom of the publication of 3 banns was carried out prior to the wedding. Louise's parents saw to it that she had some education, as she was able to sign the marriage record. Her husband's signature is absent.
The couple had 9 children--one of which was Marie Joseph or Josette LESUEUR.
It is not known when or where this couple died or were buried.

My 9th great-grandparents The only thing that is known about Jean LESUEUR and Marie LEBEAU is that at the time of the marriage of their son Jean Baptiste LESUEUR to Louise Denoyon, they were residents of "Ville Marie", which was the original name for the settlement of Montreal.
Jean Andre DENOYON was born in 1642. He is most likely from St-Pierre-du-Châtel, Rouen, Normandy, France, as this is the place of birth listed for his brother and sister, Guillaume Denoyon and Suzanne Denoyon. It is not known when this trio, the children of Jean DENOYON and Jeanne FRANCFORT, came to Canada. Suzanne arrived in the colony as a fille à marier as early as 1649, the year of her marriage to Claude David (a fur trader and firearms repairman) in Trois-Rivières. Both Jean Andre and Guillaume were here by 1666, as Guillaume is shown living with Jean Andre in that year's census.
Marie CHAUVIN was the daughter of Marin CHAUVIN and Gillette BANNE. Marie was baptized 8 September 1650 in Troi-Rivières.
Marie had been widowed by Rollin Langlois before she married Jean Andre on 20 July 1665 in Trois-Rivières. She may have had to keep house for both Jean Andre and his brother Guillaume, who did not marry fille du roi Jacqueline Aubry until 1689.
Jean Andre and Marie had two known children; Marie, born 30 June 1671 in Boucherville, and Louise DENOYON.Leonard MIGUET and Catherine DINCOTE were of the St. Syvran parish of Poitiers, Poitou, France. Their dates of birth/death/marriage are not known, nor are their parents. They were the parents of Sylvian Jacques MIGUET.

They had 10 known children; one of which was Marie-Anne VAUDRY.Pierre FAVREAU dit Deslauriers was born about 1636 in France; his parents and hometown are unknown. He arrived in Canada on 17 August 1665 as a solider with the Contrecoeur Company of the Carignan Regiment.
Marie BENOIT was a fille du roi that arrived in Montreal about 1667 at age 14, which makes her born about 1653. Her parents and origins in France are unknown. She came with no known dowry, and there is no record of her receiving the King's Gift.
Pierre and Marie were married about 1668 at Contrecoeur, Quebec. Pierre farmed for Monsier Arnault for a living.Jean FAVREAU was the 7th of 13 children born to this couple.

Marie Barbe RICHAUME was the daughter of Pierre RICHAUME dit Petrus and Marthe ARNUE.
Pierre worked as a farmer for M. Boucher, according to his daughter Jeanne MEUNIER's baptismal record, which is the only evidence uncovered thus far that this couple were married.
The couple's 3 known daughers--Anne, Marie Barbe, and Jeanne--all married sons of Pierre FAVREAU and Marie BENOIT.
Pierre died on 4 January 1695 in Boucherville and was buried there the next day.

Jean DENOYON - Jeanne FRANCFORT

Pierre FAYE dit Villefagnan - Marie CHAUVET

Vincent RENAULT - Marie MARTIN
My 10th great-grandparents Jean DENOYON and Jeanne FRANCFORT are the parents of Jean-Andre DENOYON. Jeanne Francfort is listed in Tanguay's Dictionary as Jeanne FRANCHARD. The book, "Filles à Marier" lists her as either Jeanne FRANCFORT or FRANCHART. Nothing else is known about this couple.
Marin CHAUVIN was from the town of Le Mesnil parish of St. Médard-de-Réno, canton of Tourouvre, asrrondissement of Mortagne, Perche, France. In the record books of that town can be found two entries for Marin Chauvin. The first one lists a Marin Chauvin that was baptized in 1609 and was the son of Jean Chauvin (mother not listed). The second was baptized on 16 March 1625, the son of Nicolas CHAUVIN and Catherine PIEDGARS. The latter seems the most likely candidate for being our ancestor.
Marin Chauvin enlisted to go to New France as an indentured servant on 8 March 1648, just shy of his 23rd birthday, in the service of Noël Juchereau. The 3-year salary that was agreed on for Marin was 40 livres per year. He was given a 10 livre advance. This was a low salary, which indicates that Marin was considered an unskilled laborer. He also had little education, as he claimed an inability to sign his name.Gillette BANNE was born around 1636 in Argences, Caen, Bayeux, Normandy, France, to Marin BANNE and Isabelle BOIRE or BOUR. She was a fille à marier who arrived in New France before or in 1649. She was also limited in education and was not able to write her name.
Marin and Gillette had one child, daughter Marie.
Sometime between the date of their daughter's birth (September 1650) and 7 June 1651, Marin Chauvin died.
Gillette married Jacques Bertault in 1653. One of their 6 children, Élisabeth, married at age 12 to 30-year old farmer Julien Latouche, who allegedly drank too much and beat her. He was also not much of a farmer, causing the Bertaults to have to feed the couple.
Because of this, Gillette and Jacques poisoned Julien Latouche with their daughter's knowledge. However, Latouche did not die from the poison--so Gillette and Jacques beat him to death.
The act was discovered; and Gillette Banne and her husband were sentenced to be led, nude, to the church to beg forgiveness for their sins. Jacques Bertault had his arms and legs broken with a rod, with his wife and daughter as witnesses. At 4:00 pm on 9 June 1672, the couple were hanged in Upper Quebec City. Their daughter Élisabeth had to witness the hanging of her parents and also make a public apology; the authorities seemed reluctant to hang a 13 year old child.
If you'd like to read the entire story, including the testimony of Èlisabeth Bertault, go here. James Woehr has transcribed the tale from the "Journal of American French Genealogy" and is quite a compelling read. My thanks to James for allowing me to link to his very informative article.Pierre RICHAUME dit Petrus came from Hiers-Brouage, Rochefort, Saintes, Saintonge, France. He was born in 1634 to Simon RICHAUME and Catherine BELIER, and came to France with his father in 1644. In the 1666 census, Pierre's surname was listed as "Richome", which could mean that this is a derivative of the French phrase "rich homme"--meaning rich man. Rich or not, he had enough education to be able to write his name. It is unknown when he came to Canada.
Marthe ARNUE was baptized 28 March 1632 in Ste.-Marguerite, La Rochelle, Aunis, France. Her parents were Marc ARNUE and Louise BRODIER. Marthe, along with her half sister Marguerite Sauviot, was one of the filles à marier who landed at Montreal in 1658 with their mother.
The 16th day of September 1658 was a big day in Montreal. On that day, Pierre and Marthe, along with 6 other filles à marier (one of which was her half-sister Marguerite Sauvoit), were married. Pierre and Marthe's marriage contract was penned on 2 September 1658. Pierre and Marthe had 9 children. Thier first children were a set of twins, Gabriel and Marie Barbe Richaume; sadly, Gabriel died at 6 months old.
Pierre Richaume dit Petrus died sometime between 8 May 1688 and 1 March 1689 at Repintigny, Quebec. Marthe Arnue died at the Hôpital Général de Montréal on 26 August 1700. She was buried the same day, which may mean that she was a casualty of that year's influenza epidemic.
Pierre FAYE dit Villefagnan was from St. Pierre de Villefagnan, Angoulême, Angoumis, France; born there around 1637 to Jacques FAYE and Isabelle BEGUIN. Pierre's surname has been recorded as Faye, Failly, Fagnan, and Villefagnan in various records. He arrived in Canada on 18 June 1665 as a soldier with the Carignan Regiment.
Marie CHAUVET was a fille du roi from Ste. Marguerite, Tonny-Charente, Rochefort, Saintes, Saintonge, France. She was born there about 1641, a daughter of Jacques CHAUVET and Michelle MICHELETTE. Marie came to Canada in 1668. She brought with her a dowry of goods worth about 300 livres.
There is no mention of her receiving the King's Gift of 50 livres after her marriage to Pierre on 16 August 1668. Their marriage contract was drawn up on 10 August 1668; neither party was able to sign it.Marie seemed to be unable to settle into married life in the beginning. She carried on affairs with both Pierre Vivien and Étienne Le Roy. After discovering that her husband was aware of her dalliances, she appeared before the Conseil Souverain on 2 January 1669 and accused Vivien and Le Roy of rape in an attempt to save her reputation. It was an attempt that the Conseil saw through; and they charged all 3 parties with adultery.
Marie's sentence was the shaving of her head and being beaten with sticks in the public square, along with a prison sentence; the latter of which was postponed because Marie was pregnant. After giving birth to a son in April of 1669 (he was buried 4 days later), she fulfilled her debt to Canadian society on 8 July of that year. Marie's lovers were sentenced to 8 days in prison--shackled in irons and on bread and water rations. They also had to pay 28 livres each--15 to Pierre Faye, 10 to the hospital in Quebec, and 3 for court costs.Pierre and Marie moved to Charlesbourg after this incident. They had 9 children altogether; their 5th child was Marie Anne FAYE. All but the aforementioned first child lived to adulthood.
Pierre died on 27 December 1692 at the Hôtel Dieu du Quebec. Marie died at Quebec City sometime after 10 April 1709.
All this is known about Adrien VAUDRY and Marthe DESCHAMPS at this time is that they are of Lamberville (near Bacqueville) in Normandy, France; and that their daughter is Marie Anne VAUDRYAll that is known about Vincent RENAULT and Marie MARTIN at this time is that they are of St. Nicolas, La Rochelle, Aunis, France. Their daughter is Jeanne RENAULT.
Jacques FAYE - Isabelle BEGUIN
Jacques CHAUVET - Marie MICHELETTE
Marc ARNUE - Louise BRODEUR
Simon RICHAUME - Catherine BELIERThere is nothing more known about Jacques Faye and Isabelle BEGUIN than their names. Jacques' name is not even known for sure--the surname has been mutated into Failly, Fagnan and Villefagnan in various records. Their son was Pierre FAYE dit Villefagnan.
Jacques CHAUVET andMarie MICHELETTE were the parents of Marie CHAUVET. Jacques was a sailor who died before his daughter left France in 1668.
Marc ARNUE and Louise BRODEUR were married about 1630 in La Rochelle and had daughter Marthe ARNUE about 2 years later.
Marc Arnue died sometime before 1640, when Louise Brodeur married Jean Sauviot. They had daughter Marguerite Sauviot a year later. But Jean Sauviot died sometime before 1658, which is when Louise Brodeur gathered up her two aforementioned daughters (both of whom are considered filles à marier and immigrated to Canada. It is not known when Louise died, or if she remarried.There is nothing known about Catherine BELIER, mother of Pierre RICHAUME dit Petrus. The information about his father, Simon RICHAUME, is conflicting. I give you what I know:
Simon Richaume seemed to be enlisted to go to Montreal by 29 April 1644, as Jerome le Royer lists Simon Richorme, wheelwright and carpenter, as one of the 5 citizens from Brouges hired for 3 years at a salary of 100 livres. Simon Richaume died 8 Feb 1655 in Montreal after a tree fell on him.
Historian Cyprien Tanguay did not feel that Simon was the father of Pierre.
Historian E. Z. Masicotte claims that Simon and Pierre did not arrive in the colony until 1648.
