Deux frères et une soeur sont baptisés à Dieppe (St-Jacques) : André, le 03-02-1628 ; Catherine, le 05-08-1629 et Laurent, le 01-10-1635. Ses grands-parents paternels sont Adrien Dumay et Catherine Pougnie, mariés à Étoutteville (Notre-Dame) 76253, le 12-08-1594. La sépulture d'une Barbe Mauger le 12-07-1699 à Dieppe (St-Jacques), âgée de 70 ans (décédée le 11), est inexacte, car elle serait née à la même époque que son fils André. Une plaque est apposée le 20-09-1998 dans l'église St-Jacques à Dieppe.[3]
    • http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=wesleyhcl... A branch of the Mauger less important than the one from Saint-Jacques settled in Saint-Rémi as soon as 1551. The family ties are strong enough for Barbe to be a godmother in 1618 and to give her name to Thomas Mauger?s daughter. She indeed liked that parish and its parishioners : she marries Pierre Mainfray there in 1620. Barbe gets remarried with Jean Dumay (the father) around 1626-1627. Before that, a notary act of Rouen in 1555 mentioning Jehan Dumays, rope maker from Autretot, allows us to learn more about the ancestry of our own ancestors. A compilation of all the acts for the Dumoys/Dumays of Autretot shows that there were adults of that name, in the records that were kept, as soon as the beginning of year 1546. There is one Jehan Dumay, rope maker, who is 23 years old in 1555, and another Jean Dumays who gets married, that same year, with a girl from Roquefort, Marguerite Berservoyse. The latter was probably older since according to the custom one has to be at least 30 to get married in the countryside. So when a rope maker or another tradesman states that he is from Autretot, it means he was born there and not necessarily that he lives there. Jehan and Marguerite, the newlywed, have a daughter, Marie as soon as 1556. After that, the couple disappears from Autretot. One must not forget that in the remote countryside, the men, often labourers of craftsmen, rent themselves for the harvest season, the winter labours or according to the orders for the rope makers. The disappearance of the couple from the village lasts 13 years. In that period, children are born in various locations, depending of the duties. We have traced some information on a few of them. - Jehan (the son), who marries Elisabeth Henze in 1596 and becomes a father that same year; - Adrien, who marries Catherine Pougnye, in Étoutteville, in 1594; that couple would be the parents of Jehan, born around 1595, who is in fact Jean Dumay, the father of our first ancestors; he is traced in Dieppe (Saint-Jacques) in 1626; - Magdeleine, born in 1559; - Adélise, a daughter with a lovely name, whose year of birth is unknown but who is a godmother in 1595.

    • Jehan Dumays and his 3 sons: Etienne, André and Jean, sailed from Dieppe in 1643 for “la Nouvelle France”. Catherine and Laurent remained forever in France.
    • Jehan’s presence is testified by his purchase of land on the coast of Beaupré which he later abandoned in 1646. On January 1, 1648 he signed as a witness to the wedding of his son Etienne in Quebec.
    • Jehan was granted 50 acres in Cap Rouge in the Seigneurie of Gaudarville.
