Excerpt Ffrom Je Me Souviens: Spring 2015

Marie Pontonnier married Honore Langlois dit Lachapelle one month after the birth of her daughter. Born around 1632, he was the son of Jean Langlois and Jacquette Charpentier of Paris, France. He arrived in Québec in 1651 with M. de Lauzon, but was to remain in this settlement only a few months.

In the fall of the same year, M. de Maisonneuve, founder and governor of Villemarie, en route to France, stopped in Québec to ask M. de Lauzon if he could send at least ten men to help fortify his village, which was under constant siege by the Iroquois. M. de Maisonneuve's journey to the mother country was for the purpose of recruiting soldiers to help defend Villemarie. Langlois and others who answered M. de Lauzon's appeal, left Québec in the cold of late November.

The precarious situation in which he found Villemarie on his arrival must have horrified Langlois. There were only about fifty families in the village, yet at times they had to defend themselves against hundreds of warriors. It would be two years before M. de Maisonneuve would return with his troops. After risking his life to defend the settlement on so many occasions, the village must have become an integral part of his being and Langlois did not want to leave it. He bought a parcel of land and set about clearing it. When the census was taken in 1666, he had twenty "arpents" of cleared land and he owned two head of cattle. Later, Langlois also became a millener.

The Langlois had ten children, the last one born when Marie was forty-two years old. They had been married forty-eight years, when Langlois died in 1709. Marie survived him for nine years. She died fifteen days before her seventy-fifth birthday and was buried on January 7, 1718.

The Langlois had the following children:

Jeanne: b. 16 January 1664 Montreal (M); m. 7 April 1682 Pointe-auxTrembles, Montreal (PT) to Joseph Loisel, son of Louis Loisel and Marguerite Charlot; d. 22 February 1719 (PT).
