Les Archambault d’Amerique:

It is in the Charente-Maritime department, which is formed from the old provinces of Aunis and Saintonge, we find our French roots. Our common ancestor Jacques Archambault, was born there in 1604, at a place called The neighboring Ardillière the village of Saint-Xandre, near La Rochelle. At that time The Ardillière depended, for the purposes of the Catholic hierarchy, from the parish of Dompierre-en-Aunis - today Dompierre-sur-Mer - Jacques and his children there were therefore baptized in the Church of St. Peter -aux-Links, dating from the eleventh century. In the aftermath of the siege of La Rochelle by Richelieu's troops (1627-1628), Jacques married Françoise Toureau giving him seven children, including a girl who died very young. The couple cultivating vines, and we see by a contract dated from 1637 that Jacques sells its production to a wine merchant La Rochelle named Bonnevye Hieronimus.

In 1645, Jacques Archambault and his family landed at Québec, probably recruited by Le Gardeur de Repentigny, who farmed his land to Jacques on the heights of Cap aux Diamants. Then he receives a land concession in Cap-Rouge. In 1654, he received the Governor Maisonneuve a gratification and a land to settle in Ville-Marie.

Jacques's wife, Françoise Toureau, died in 1663. After three years of widowhood, Jacques remarried in 1666 with Mary Denot de la Martinière, widow of Mathieu Labat, whose descendants created the famous brewery. Twenty-two years later, the ancestor Jacques died in turn, at the age of 84 years; he was buried in Notre-Dame in Montreal, February 15, 1688. He is the grandfather of 52 grandchildren and 12 great-great-grandfather of grandchildren.
