About Marie Martin

Marie Martin was one of the Fille du Roi(The Kings Daughters)who came over from France between 1663-1673 to marry and help populate Canada. From the book of The Filles du Roi. Pg.402.

Confirmed on 9 Nov 1665 in Quebec. Her brother endowed her with a half-arpent of his land at Lirec for her first marriage.

She was probably among the "daughters of the king" and had only been in the country for a few months then.

Her second husband went into hiding for many years after incurring many debts.

Left to herself with 5 young children, she was complete destitute and decided to leave her land on the Ile d'Orléans.

The 1681 census mentions she and her family still living at Quebec, in the Upper Town.

In October 1683, she was confined to her sick bed at the Hotel-Dieu (hospital).

She accepted a plot of land located near the hospital. She only had to pay the annual rent of 20 sols, but she was committed to build a house there within a year.

Jean's wife, Marie Martin, was the daughter of Jacques Martin of La Rochelle, Notre-Dame-de-Cogne parish. This was a semi-rural parish on the outskirts of the city. Her mother was either Luce Chalut or Marie Lemaistre or Marie Bounau (I'm not sure what the confusion is here; maybe Jacques married several times). She was probably an orphan when she arrived in Quebec in 1665, around age 16, as a fille du roi. She signed her marriage contract. She had 3 children with Jean: Marie-Madeleine, Charles (b. 1670) and Elisabeth. She was remarried in 1673 to Jacques Charrier, a master mason from the central western town of Saint-Jean-d'Angely, and had two more children by him. She died in the Quebec General Hospital at the age of 80 in 1729. She was preceded in Quebec by her brother (or half brother) Joachim.
