Claude David was born in France around 1621, based on 1666 census which gave him the age of 45 then. His exact place of origin is unknown.[1]
His first presence noted in the colony was on 19 august 1647 before notary Henry Bancheron in Trois-Rivières, where he was a witness to the act. Jetté tells us he was brother of Guillaume David, both men listed as of unknown parentage and origin.[2][3][4] Guillaume is found on the marriage contract of Claude's son Michel, being cited as uncle of the future groom.[5]
Claude David married Suzanne de Noyon sometime around 1649 in Trois-Rivières, neither marriage contract nor ceremony survives.[6]

GEDCOM Note
Three Brides for Three Brothers The Davids of Quebec The three David brothers; Claude, Jacques and Guillaume; arrived in New France before 1650; and all were later married to Filles a Marier; the single girls sponsored by various companies, churches and seigneurs, to help increase the population of the small colony The brothers were from Rouen, Normandy, France; sons of Blaise Julien David and Flavie Morel. Young and energetic, they should have been very successful, except for one thing. They were Hugenots. Not feeling terribly welcomed, they decided to try their luck in New Amsterdam (now New York), which was run by the West India Company. Since the Dutch never tried to hide that fact that their interest in the 'New World' was purely financial; they supported religious freedom and open trade. However, they were also often aggressive toward the Native populations, so the political climate was hostile at best. Therefore, the boys decided to go back to Quebec, and were confirmed into the Catholic faith on August 10, 1659. Claude married Susan Denoyen and had two boys. He settled at Trois Rivieres. Jacques married Marie Grandry, had seven children and settled at Chateau Richer. Guillaume married Marie Armand, had six children and settled first at Trois Rivieres and then Sorel.
