Marie Marguerite was baptized 12 September 1620 in the parish of Saint-Vincent in Rouen, Normandy, the last of eight children of merchant, paddle maker and bourgeois François Marguerie and Marthe Romain. Her godparents were Nicolas Duchemin and Marie Marguerie. Marie's father is the third of five children of maréchal Thomas Marguerie and Marie Houllevicque from the parish of Saint-Maclou in Rouen. Her mother was baptized 25 July 1589 in the parish of Saint-Vincent in Rouen, the second child of tailor Nicolas Romain and an unknown wife (godparents: Jehan Cinole, Marthe Brice and Catherine de Crément). Marie arrived in Canada in 1639, following her brother François, an explorer and companion of Champlain, who lived at Trois-Rivières and was clerk and interpreter for the Compagnie de La Nouvelle-France.
On 23 August 1641, notary Piraubé drew up a marriage contract between Marie and
Jacques Hertel, Sieur de La Fresnière at Trois-Rivières. Marie could not sign the contract, which stated that she was bringing to the marriage community the considerable dowry of 650 lives. It is not known if her husband could sign the document. Jacques was born in Fécamp (arrondissement of Le Havre, archdiocese of Rouen) in the Pays de Caux region of Normandy, the son of Nicolas Hertel and Jeanne Miriot. He came to Canada as a soldier about 1626. During the occupation of Québec by the Kirke brothers, François lived among the Algonquins. Perhaps recompense for his loyalty and service maintaining good relations with the Amerindians, the Compagnie des Cent Associés granted Jacques the fief of Hertel at Trois-Rivières (200 arpents) on 02 December 1633 and the arrière-fief of l'Arbre-à-la-Croix at Cap-de-La-Madeleine on 05 April 1644. Jacques was an Indian interpreter for the Jesuits at Trois-Rivières and was syndic of habitants in 1647. On 16 April 1647, Jacques was granted the seigneurie of Cournoyer near Gentilly.
Jacques and Marie had three children. Son François was baptized by Father Jean de Brébeuf on 03 July 1642 at Trois-Rivières with François Marguerie as his godfather, followed by
Marie-Madeleine (02 September 1645, godmother: Madame de La Peltrie) and Marguerite (26 August 1649). Jacques Hertel, Sieur de La Fresnière died 10 August 1651 at Trois-Rivières (in what is believed to be an accident) and was buried in a chapel adjoining the parish church, which he had built at his own expense two years earlier as thanks to God for sparing Trois-Rivières from an Iroquois attack. Marie inherited half of the arrière-fief of l'Arbre-à-la-Croix and her children inherited the other half. Son François was later known as the "Hero of Trois-Rivières.”
About 1652, Marie married Quentin Moral, Sieur de Saint-Quentin at Trois-Rivières. Again, no marriage contract has been found for this union, though it is known that Marie's second husband could sign his name. Quentin was born about 1622, though his origins in France and his parents* names are unknown. He is noted in Canada as early as 22 December 1650, at Trois-Rivières. Quentin was judge of the Prévôté of Cap-de-La- Madeleine as well as judge (lieutenant civil et criminel) at Trois-Rivières. He and Marie had four daughters. Marie-Jeanne was born about 1653, followed by Marie (baptized 31 October 1655 at Trois-Rivières), Gertrude (22 March 1658) and Marthe (01 January 1661). The 1666, 1667 and 1681 censuses find the family at Trois-Rivières.
Quentin Moral, Sieur de Saint-Quentin was buried 09 May 1686 at. Trois-Rivières. Marie Marguerie died 24 November 1700 and was buried. two days later at Trois-Rivières next to the body of first husband Jacques Hertel, according to her wishes. For the last 50 years of her life, she had been in charge of the sacristy at Trois-Rivières.
