Biographie Biography

Olivier Charbonneau avait été recruté en France pour venir prêter main-forte à la colonie naissante. C’est ainsi qu’il qu'il parti de La Rochelle le 2 juillet 1659 sur le Saint André et débarqua à Ville-Marie en Nouvelle-France le 7 septembre 1659. Guidé par Jeanne Mance, il alla s’installer dans la région de Ville-Marie (Montréal).

Il exerçait la profession de meunier. Avec sa femme, Marie-Marguerite Garnier, et ses deux enfants, il s’établit à la Pointe-aux-Trembles.

Dès son arrivée il se mit à la tâche et construisit un moulin-à-eau. Il s’agissait du premier dans la région. Il pouvait donc s’adonner à son métier de moudre le grain. Marie-Marguerite donnera naissance à trois autres enfants à la Pointe-aux-Trembles.

Deux de leur fils, Jean et Joseph se marièrent et eurent à leur tour des enfants qui allaient transmettre le nom de Charbonneau de génération en génération en cette terre d’Amérique.

============

Veuf en 1ère noce d'Osanne Lussaud

Engagé à La Rochelle 05-06-1659 avec sa femme, arrivé le 20-09-1659 à Montréal.

He was one of the first settlers of the Île Jésus (today, Laval). He is the father of 35,000 living North Americans, and ancestor of the entire population of Labelle.

There are only two surviving records for the family name of Charbonneau: one for Olivier and his wife, landing in 1659, and another for an unrelated man, Jean and his wife, around 1675. Nothing in the record suggests that the two were closely related. It has been estimated that 97% of the Charbonneau families in North America are descended from Olivier Charbonneau and his wife. Descendants of Jean are fewer in number and in New France have tended to cluster in the Vaudreuil and Soulanges area of Quebec near the Ottawa river.[6]
