Twenty-one children is a lot of offspring, even for an early settler in New France, but Antoine Emery dit Coderre left such a legacy. He was born in the village of Le Vieux Sarrazac, France on August 6, 1643; his parents were Megny Aymeric and Marguerite Pasquau, who had at least two other children. When he came of age, Antoine joined the military and was part of the Carignan Regiment that sailed from La Rochelle on May 13, 1665. After a journey of several months, his ship, the La Paix, arrived at Quebec.
Antoine served as a soldier for three years; it’s unknown what specific campaigns he participated in. Like many of the members of his regiment, after his service was up, he chose to make his life in New France. On November 26, 1670, Antoine first appeared on the records in his civilian life leasing a cow in the settlement of Verchéres, which was on the south shore of the St. Lawrence River almost to Montreal. He took a wife around this time, a Fille du Roi named Marie Devault; they got formally married on April 13, 1674, but this was after they already had four children. By 1687, Marie gave birth to seven more; of their eleven children, five died young.
During those years, Antoine made his home in Contrecoeur on 90 arpents of land that fronted the river. The 1681 census showed that he had 8 cattle and 16 arpents under cultivation. On December 6, 1687, Marie died, probably from giving birth to her youngest child, who also died about the same time. The following year, 44-year-old Antoine married the 16-year-old daughter of one of the soldiers he had served with. Her name was Marie-Anne Favreau, and Antoine signed a contract in Boucherville on June 6, 1688 promising to wed her within 3 months. The actual marriage date isn’t known because the record is lost. The couple had ten children born between 1690 and 1711.
Meanwhile, Antoine acquired more land, probably to have property he could pass to his many sons. On April 18, 1695, he signed a lease from merchant Pierre Perthius for a tract that had 6 arpents of river frontage in Pointe-aux-Trembles. Then on January 27, 1699, he acquired 100 square arpents of land at Saint-Sulpice.
Antoine died in Contrecoeur on February 10, 1716. He was survived by his wife Marie-Anne, six daughters and eight sons. Marie-Anne remarried and lived until 1737.
About the name Coderre Antoine added “dit Coderre” to his name at the time he migrated to New France. It was common for immigrants to add “dit names” to their surname to indicate where they came from. Most of his descendants shortened the name, with some using "Emery" and others using a variation of "Coderre." The mystery of the name Coderre may have been solved when a 20th century descendant visited the site of the village where Antoine was baptized and discovered there had been another village nearby named Le Coderc. Both places are long gone and only exist today as the ruins of some old buildings. It’s likely that Le Coderc was where Antoine lived as a boy.
