Also known as BIRARD

Identified by Peter Gagné as Filles du Roi for David:

Marie Birard was born about 1637, though her origins in France are unknown. She and came to Canada in 1669, at about age 32.

In 1669 or 1670, Marie married Pierre Pivin dit La Récompense at Charlesbourg. Pierre was born about 1627 in the parish of Saint-Jacques in Dieppe, Normandy, though his parents are unknown. Pierre had first married Marie or Marguerite Jobin in the parish of Saint-Sauveur in La Rochelle, Aunis. He came to Canada with his first wife, who gave birth to daughter Marie on 12 September 1663 at Château-Richer. Pierre and his daughter lived at the Côte Notre-Dame-des-Anges.

Marie and Pierre settled at Charlesbourg and had four more children Élisabeth vas baptized at Québec City 18 January 1671, followed by Louis dit Pierre (07 April 1673), Jacques (22 July 1675) and Geneviève (05 February 1678).

On 23 February and 14 May 1685, Marie Birard appeared before the Prévôté de Québec at the request of Geneviève Alexandre. It seems that a cow belonging to Geneviève’s husband Pierre Conille had gotten into a hay field belonging to Marie and her husband. In an effort to save her crop from the hungry heifer, Marie began to hit it with a stick. Seeing this, Geneviève swore at Marie, who responded in kind, and soon the two women were hitting each other with sticks. The outcome of the trial is not known.

Pierre Pivin dit La Récompense died 20 May 1701 at the Hôtel-Dieu de Québec. In the 1716 census, Marie was living with her daughter Geneviève at Québec City. Marie Birard died 04 November 1719 and was buried the next day at Québec City, allegedly 100 years old. [this is not true, she was about 82]

Identified in Tanguay Registers 1886 as the first centenarian recorded to have died in Québec, buried 5 November 1719. However, there is some other evidence below that shows her birth year to be ca 1637. Going by the birth dates of her children she would have started having them at age 50 if she were born in 1619, which is highly unlikely.
