Marie Louise Cloutier

GEDCOM Note

Louise married François Marguerie, Sieur de la Haye at the age of fourteen. He was one of the most colorful men of early New France. A guide and interperter of Indian languages, he lived and worked among the tribes and even survived capture and imprisonment by the Iroquois. Shortly after they moved to Trois-Rivières, he was drowned in a canoe accident. Childess and widowed at seventeen, Louise returned to Québec where she married the tailor, Jean Mignot dit Chatillon 5 months later. In 1689 Louise married saddlemaker Jean-Pierre Mataux.
