Notes for Marie-Jeanne Rossignol:"King's Daughters and Founding Mothers:The Filles du Roi, 1663-1673" by Peter J. Gagne
"Jeanne Rossignol dit Grossonneau was born about 1652 in the parish of Saint-Pierre in Montfort-l'Amaury (arrondissement of Rambouillet, dicoese of Chartres), Ile-de-France, the daughter of Martin Rossignol and Renee Desjardins.After her father's death, she left for Canada in 1670 at about age 18, bringing goods worth an estimated 200 livres for her dowry.
On 01 September 1670, Jeanne married Charles Petit at Quebec City and was
given the King's Gift of 50 Livres.Neither spouse could sign the marriage contract drawn up 24 August by notary Becquet.Charles was born about 1639 in the parish of Saint-Pierre in Anneville-sur-Seine (arrondissement and diocese of Rouen), Normandy, the son of Jean Petit and Anne Mauger.
He and Jeanne settled at Neuville, but baptized son Jacques at Quebec City 01 November 1672.Sadly Charles Petit died between 29 March and 29 December 1673.Son Nicolas was born posthumously and baptized 04 January 1674.One month later, on 04 February 1674, Jeanne married Jean Forget at Quebec City.
Jean (or Jacques) was baptized 08 March 1642 in the parish of Saint-Michel in Poitiers, Poitou, the son of Mande Forget and Jeanne Dessery, who were married 13 November 1634 in Saint-Germain de Poitiers.He can be found in the 1667 census as the servant of Pierre Loignon on the Ile d'Orleans and also as the servant of Denis-Joseph Ruette d'Auteuil at Cap-Rouge.
Jean and Jeanne settled at Neuville, where their son Jean was born 31 October 1675 (baptized 17 November, Quebec City).
Apparently, Jeanne did not get along with her neighbors very well.On 20 June 1673, she brought a complaint before the Prevote de Quebec against Fille du Roi Suzanne Rousselin.However, after hearing the case, the court ordered Jeanne to keep out of others' business and warned both parties not to insult each other.That same day, Jacques Sabourin and his wife Mathurine Renault brought Jeanne before the same court for slander.The court decreed that unless Jeanne could prove that Jacques was a thief and fence and that his wife was a whore, she would have to make a "reparation of honor" (public apology) to the couple, which she did.
Jean Forget died at Neuville between 31 October 1675 and 07 November 1676.On this date, notary Gilles Rageot drew up a marriage contract between Jeanne and Urbain Fouquereau.The two were married 28 December 1676 at Neuville, though the act can be found in the registers of Quebec City.Urbain was born about 1653 in Continvoir (arrondissement of Chinon, diocese of Angers), Anjou, the son of Jean Fouquereau and Renee Bataille.
He and Jeanne lived at Neuville and had eight children together.Pierre was baptized at Quebec City 10 August 1677, followed by Elisabeth-Ursule (23 August 1679, Neuville) and Michel (05 October 1681, Neuville).Sadly, Pierre died after the 1681 census.Andre was baptized at Neuvill 20 December 1683, followed by Madeleine (11 July 1686), Guillaume (23 March 1690), Marie-Anne (03 July 1693) and Marie-Helene (15 February 1696).
Urbain Fouquereau was buried at Neuville 24 February 1700.On 02 September 1704, Jeanne married Francois Huard dit Laliberte at Neuville.Francois was born about 1654 in the parish of Saint-Denis in Amboise (arrondissement and archdiocese of Tours), Touraine, the son of Jerome Huard and Anne Duboist.He was previously (1684) married to Jeanne Brunet, who gave him no children.Francois and Jeanne lived at Neuville, but did not have any children together.Jeanne Rossignol dit Grossonneau died 22 January 1712 at the Hotel-Dieu de Quebec.Francois Huard dit Laliberte died at the Hotel-Dieu de Quebec 24 August 1722."
