The children of Pierre De Lavoye and Jacquette Grinon

  1. SUZANNE was baptised on the 29th May 1650 at St-Étienne d’Aytré. She enters into a marriage contract with Jean Tesson, son of Barthélémy and Marie Dusein, on the 24th August 1666 before notary Becquet and the actual marriage is celebrated at Notre-Dame church of Québec on the 13th September 1666. In the 1666 census, Jean Tesson is mentionned as living at Ile d’Orléans. This union will be short lived however and will not produce any progeny; it’s unknown where or when Jean Tesson actually passed away. However, Suzanne de La Voye, widow of Jean Tesson, enters into a marriage agreement before notary Rabusson from La Rochelle, on the 27th of March 1669 with Pierre Guibert, son of Étienne and Marguerite Giboulleau . Some sources suggest that Pierre Guibert deceased shortly after his marriage. Archange Godbout, in his « Émigration Rochelaise en Nouvelle-France » mentions, that in the papers of notary Teuleron of La Rochelle was found an engagement contract for Canada in the name of Pierre Guibert for the year 1669. Following 1669, we find Suzanne de La Voye in New France, married to Pierre Girard.. The information isn’t all that clear. Some contend that this is the third marriage of Suzanne, with a contract drawn up before notary Rageot, document which is lost. Others affirm that Pierre Guibert and Pierre Girard are one and the same person! In the 1681 census, we find Pierre Girard and Suzanne de La Voye, properly married, in the company of their children, in St-Augustin, of the Seigneurie de Maure, owning 1 rifle, 5 beasts of burden and 12 arpents of cleared land. This couple will produce 8 children of whom 6 will have roots in Québec, the other two having deceased at an early age. Suzanne de La Voye will die at the tender age of 37, on the 24th July 1686, in Neuville. Her husband Pierre Girard, will remarry in 1688 to Élisabeth Lequin, widow of Étienne Léveillé; this couple will not produce any children. Élisabeth will be no more in 1700. Pierre Girard will himself decease after 1710, at St-Augustin.

  2. MICHEL is an unknown son of Pierre and Jacquette Grinon. See the engagement contract that Pierre de La Voye had drawn before notary Becquet, dated the 3rd November 1670, with Michel Lecours, bourgeois merchant, in Beauport... What happened to Michel de La Voye is unknown. My extensive research has been unable to find any trace of his whereabouts.
  3. OLIVE, born in Aytré, in 1654 (according to her age when she deceased) or 1663 (according to Jetté) was present at Cap-Rouge in 1667, with her father and sister Marie. She is a servant working for Jacques Samson in 1681. Olive enters into a marriage agreement before notary Rageot, with Michel Fernet or Frenet, on the 23rd May 1684 and the couple tie the knot in the church of St-Augustin in Neuville on the following 26th June. Michel was the son of Michel and Christine Juneau, originally from the region of Évreux in Normandie. In the 1666 census, he is said to be residing at Beaupré, is a sabot maker, and a servant working for Bertrand Chesnay. In 1681, the census tells us the he living in Neuville where 5 of his children are born. Olive deceases at Cap-Santé in 1729, at the age of 75.haut

  4. MARIE,was baptised on the 1st of April 1657 at St-Étienne of Aytré. In 1674, the 24th April , Pierre signs an agreement for her to work for 2 years for Étienne Landeron (he is said to be a pastry chef in Quebec, in the 1666 census), this for her upkeep, her room and board and 50 £ in wages. Marie will marry Pierre Grenon, son of Pierre and Marie Soseaux, on the 16th February 1676, in Québec. They will settle in the seigniory of Bélair, dit les Écureuils. In 1681, the couple own 1 rifle, 2 cows and have 6 arpents of cleared land. Pierre and Marie will have 11 children together. Marie will decease in 1727.

  5. JEAN, is born in Aytré near La Rochelle, France. He arrives in the colony with his parents around 1665-1666. In his marriage contract, dated the 3rd of September 1690, we read that: «Jean de La Voye soldier in the château garrison of this city (Québec) and resident of the seigniory of Maure». In his actual marriage, dated the 28th November 1690, we read « Jean de La Voye, soldier of the garrison of fort St-Louis of Québec ». Jean de La Voye enters into wedlock with Barbe Lhomme, daughter of the late Michel Lhomme and Marie Valade (who will remarry with Jacques LeMeilleur). The signing of the contract is made in the presence of notary Genaple, on the 3rd of September, and the religious ceremonies will be celebrated in the church of St-François-de-Sales of Neuville on the 28th November 1690. Their first child will be born in 1691. His third daughter will be born at Tilly (other name for Villieu) and be baptised at St-Nicolas, parish in the adjacent seigniory, i.e. seigniory of Lauzon. If his son Jean-Baptiste was really born in 1698 as we think he was, it was in Tilly (or Villieu), that he was born. In 1700, Jean de La Voye and Barbe Lhomme have 4 children; their last two were born in 1701 and 1705 at Cap-de-la-Madeleine. After 1705, he returns to the Quebec region, for in 1711, dated the 26th of August, the death registers of Hôtel-Dieu of Québec mention the demise of Barbe Lhomme, «arrived the 19th preceding from the parish of Charlesbourg, aged 42 years. We have no information of this kind concerning the demise of Jean de La Voye. Some say 1714, others 1714, and still others, 1724, as the year of this death.


The children of Pierre De Lavoye and Isabelle Aupé

  1. MARIE-ANNE, In 1673, Pierre and Isabel have their first daughter baptised on the 21th of January, at Notre-Dame of Québec. She was born on the 10th of January preceding. On the 13th of May 1687, Pierre de La Voye, will provide her with a work agreement before notary Gilles Rageot, for a duration of 5 years, for yearly wages of 36 £. Marie-Anne will enter into a marriage contract before notary Chamballon, dated the 6th April 1695, with Jean Poitras, widower of the late Marie-Sainte Vié, father of 17 children (of whom 8 deceased and 2 were married at the time of his marriage with Marie-Anne). She will give him 10 additional children at L’Ancienne-Lorette where the couple was setled. Marie-Anne will decease in 1711, at L’Ancienne-Lorettehaut

  2. MADELEINE, On the 12th of June 1674, Pierre and Isabel have their second daughter Madeleine baptised. She was born on the 2nd June preceding. On the 26th January 1689, Pierre hires her as a servant to Louis de Laporte, who promises to feed, lodge, upkeep, and pay her wages of 36 £, this for a period of 4 years. While consulting the PRDH, we can see that Madeleine de La Voye, of Neuville, aged 14 years, was hospitalised for one day at Hôtel-Dieu in Québec. We don’t know why that was. Then we lose track of her completely.

  3. MARIE, In 1675 we see the arrival of another daughter, Marie, born on the 21st November at a place called Rivière-aux-Roches, within the seigniory of St-Augustin de Maure. She was baptised on the 2nd December at Notre-Dame of Québec. Similar to her sister Madeleine, she leaves very little trace of herself in the Quebec archives. In the PRDH, dated the 8th of November 1691, we learn that Marie is hospitalized at Hôtel-Dieu of Québec for a period of 23 days, for reasons unknown. And, likewise, as her sister Madeleine, Marie doesn’t seem to have died at Hôtel-Dieu, for no mention of her name appears in the death registers of the hospital. Her trace disappears

  4. PIERRE, Pierre and Isabel return to Notre-Dame on the 5th November 1676 for the baptism of their first male child… Pierre, born on the 1st of November preceding, at Côte St-Ange, within the seigniory of Maure. Unfortunately this first son of Isabel and Pierre dies at the age of 15, on the 29th May 1690; he is buried the same day in Neuville.

  5. VINCENT, born on the 16th of October, is baptised on the 1st of November 1678 at Neuville. As his younger brother Pierre, Vincent also dies at a young age, 24 years, on the 12th February 1702, and is buried the same day in Neuville.

  6. FRANÇOIS, born on the 31st of October 1680, baptised on the 4th of December of the same year. We know that he was present during the 1681 census, but have no trace of him following that date. haut

  7. ROMAIN,The birth of Romain, son of Pierre and Isabel Loppé, is mentionned on the 3rd June 1684, at Côte St-Ange, with a baptism on the 10th of June following, at St-Augustin of Neuville. Romain is the only male progeny from the union of Pierre and Isabel to continue the family lineage. The Lavoie family name, still present in this region, is proof of that. He will enter into a marriage contract before notary Rageot, with Marie Thérèse Jean dit Denis, on the 5th November 1730 and will marry the 13th of November following, at St-Augustin de Neuville. This couple will have 3 children before Romain passes on in 1736. His widow, Marie Thérèse Jean dit Denis, daughter of Nicolas and Marie-Madeleine Cliche, will enter into a 2nd marriage contract on the 17th February 1738, with Charles Tinon.

  8. ÉLISABETH, In 1686, Pierre and Isabel will have another girl by the name of Élisabeth, who was born on the 22nd March, and baptised on the 13th of April following in Neuville; she will die but a few months after her mother, on the 14th March 1688.
