de St-Martin de Paris, Ile-de-France, France

Fille du Roi
8G grandmother of Lovina

From Gagné:

Barbe Roteau was born about 1653 in the parish of Saint-Martin in Le Roulle (arrondissement and archdiocese of Paris), Île-de-France, the daughter of Geoffroy Roteau and Catherine Carsilleu. After her father’s death, she left for Canada in 1673 at about age 20, bringing with her goods worth an estimated 200 livres for her dowry.

On 11 September 1673, Barbe married Pierre Moisan in Québec City. She could not sign the marriage contract drawn up 09 September by notary Duquet, but her husband could. Pierre was a river pilot, sailor, fishing boat captain and bourgeois. He was born about 1648 in the parish of Saint-Rémi in Dieppe, Normandy, the son of Jacques Moisan and Françoise Fontaine, who were married 08 January 1641 in Saint-Rémi de Dieppe. Barbe and Pierre settled at Québec City, where daughter Marie-Madeleine was baptized 01 August and buried 05 October 1674. Jean was baptized 18 August 1675 at Québec City, followed by Marie-Charlotte (20 October 1677), Marie-Madeleine 09 September 1679) and Pierre (11 July 1682, Château-Richer). François was baptized at Québec City 23 January 1685, followed by Michel (04 October 1687), Louise-Barbe (18 October 1689), Geneviève (11 December 1691) and Étienne (09 December 1693). Sadly, 14-year-old Marie-Madeleine drowned 05 July 1693 at Château-Richer.

Pierre Moisan was buried at Québec City 07 December 1693. On 24 October 1695, Barbe married Jacques Renaud in Québec City. either spouse could sign the mariage contract drawn up 16 October by notary Duquet. Jacques was previously (1665) married to Fille du Roi Marie Charrier, with whom he had four children. Barbe and Jacques baptized daughter Marie-Angélique 04 February 1697 at Québec City.

Jacques Renaud died 23 December 1708 and was buried the same day at Québec City. This haste suggests that he was a victim of the mysterious epidemic that struck Québec that year, since victims of contagious diseases were buried without the usual 24-hour delay. Barbe Roteau was buried 25 August 1728 at L’Ancienne-Lorette.
