The Carignan-Salières Regiment
The pleas of the colonists of New France for assistance in their struggle with the Iroquois were answered in 1665 with the arrival of the first French regular troops in Canada, the Carignan-Salières Regiment. Between June and September 1665, some 1200 soldiers and their officers arrived in Quebec, under the leadership of Lt. General Alexander de Prouville, Sieur de Tracy.
The series of forts established by the Regiment along the Richelieu River, along with the success of its second campaign into the land of the Mohawk Indians, led to a long period of peace for the colony, which permitted it to prosper. However, King Louis XIV’s plan included the permanent settlement of many of the soldiers and officers in Canada. Over 450 of these troops remained in the colony, many of whom married the newly arrived filles du roi.
Most persons of French Canadian descent can claim one or more of these brave soldiers as ancestors. In addition to the list of soldiers and officers on the official “roll” of the Regiment, there were many others who participated in the successful campaign against the Iroquois, including many militiamen who resided in the colony but whose names were not recorded for posterity. We honor all these 17th century men who paved the way for growth and prosperity of New France.
With peace with the Iroquois in 1668 the Carigan-Saliere returned to France but left behind 400 members, among them was Jacques Genest-dit-LaBarre who chose to stay in Quebec and became a colonist.
Jacques’ first known child was born out of wedlock with the widow Claire-Francoise Pare’ dit Paris named Antoine on 15 February 1670 but died on 16 February 1670. He did not marry her. He then met and married Catherine Doribeau or Doribelle who may have been a Daughter of the King. No record of the marriage contract has been discovered. They had eight children, the first Marie born 3 November 1670 and the last Anne born 21 April 1685.
On 14 March 1666, Jacques-dit-LaBarre, purchased a farm on the Saint Lawrence River in the parish of Saint-Famille on the Ile d’Orleans. The farm consisted of a house, yard, garden, a bread oven, a small barn and about five acres of cultivated land. This land today is Lot 195 and 197 near the church. Since Jacques could not read or write the purchase contract was signed by the tinsmith and a notary. Jacques worked at his trade as master edged tool maker. In 1667 he increased his land under cultivation but still did not have any domesticated stock. In 1669 he lost his farm due to debts. The farm was given back to him out of generosity on 22 February 1671. The census of 1681 indicates that Jacques-dit-LaBarre owned 1 gun, 8 head of cattle, and 15 arpents (about 15 acres) of cultivated land. The 1681 census also indicates there were six children living in the house and that he was 45 and his wife was 36 years old. Jacques-dit-LaBarre sold his land and homestead on 18 August 1688. He was allowed to stay in his house until his planned departure to France. He was paid on 6 November 1688, but it is not known if he went to France. Where he lived after he sold his homestead is not known, but on 8 September 1695 records show he became godfather to his grand-daughter Marie Ouimet at Sainte-Famille. He also was at his son Charles’ wedding on 25 November 1699 at Sainte-Jean. The registry at the wedding stated that Jacques was from the Sainte-Famille parish. He died at the home of his son Charles on 9 December 1706. It should be noted that this house is still standing and restored at Saint-Jean by a Genest descendant
