Samuel Papineau dit Montigny was born in the 1670 at the village of Montigny, in the Province Poitou, in France. He was the son of Samuel Papineau (a merchant) and Marie Delain (Delair). Samuel Papineau was a soldier in the Company of the Sieur d'Andresy, which arrived in Quebec about 1688. The latter, who died during the crossing, was replaced by Aloigny de La Groye.

For ten years Papineau served faithfully under Frontenac and Galliere, and was then discharged. On the 25th of April, 1699, he acquired from the Sulpicians, a land grant of sixty acres on the Cote Saint-Michel. In 1705, he sold this land to Jean Guillebert, dit Laframboise, and in 1711 obtained ownership of a new grant of lant at Riviere-des-Preiries which he retained until hisdeath. Samuel was a private soldier and evidently never made much money.He concerned himself mainly with the land grants which were made to him from1699 on. Samuel did 23 April 1737 and is buried at Sault-au-Recollet. He left only a few possessions as was shown by an inventory that was drawn up after his death.

Samuel is the founder of the Papineau families in Canada. Samuel took the name of Montigny after his place of birth in France to distinguish himself from other Papineau mambers. On 6 June 1704, at Riviere-des-Prairies, Samuel married Catherine Quevillon, by whom he had nine children.

Catherine was born 14 March 1686, the daughter of Adrien Quevillon and Jeanne Hunault(Gunault). When Catherine was an infant, she and a seven year old sister were carried off by the Iroquois and the sister was burned to death in front of Catherine.Catherine was ransomed after several years of captivity. (The records I read did not say who ransomed her). As I was reading of this event,and also checking the records of the Quevillon family, I found that the seven year old sister was probably Francoise-Angelique who was Born 13 March 1681. Catherine was a baby at the time of the kidnapping, so the age of the sister would be right. Francoise is the only child listed to Adrien & Jeanne Queillon that does not have a marriage date. I have no proof of this, only supposition. Catherine married four times and died at the age of ninety five.

Catherine's four marriages are as follows:1. Guillaume Lascombe, m. 30 July 1703 at St Amant2. Samuel Papineau, m. 6 June 1704 at Rivieres-de-Prairies3. Jacques Daniel, married 3 April 1742 at Sault-au-Recollet4. Jean-Baptiste DeVerac, m. 18 February 1754
