MARIE REMY: She was the daughter of Nicolas Remy and Marie Vinet of Paris. She arrived in Montreal in 1665 with Governor Remy (no known relationship) and many girls arriving to marry the pioneers. She was one of the "Filles de Roi" or Daughters of the King who were recruited starting in 1663 (until 1673) to come to New France to become brides and mothers. They were outfitted and financed by the King who also provided them with a dowry of 50 livres upon marriage. An aside regarding the death of Marie Remy is appropriate here. Like many others who have reported this event, this researcher had accepted the exact translation of this as recorded in the parish register for Notre Dame Church at Montreal. It clearly states in longhand the year 1676. An examination of the book (facsimile) however, reveals that this was written in error. It is recorded as an entry at the end of the year 1675 and is followed by entries for the beginning of the year 1676. This is well worth noting since it could escape no ones minds eye the different image of a man who would remarry a few days after the death of a wife or one who remarries a year later. Future researchers would do well to note the presence of notables such as a priest and governor of the name of Remy in such a small community as was New France of the mid-17th century.
