About Siméon Roy LeRoy Dit Audy

(He was Catholic) Alternate death location: Charlesbourg, Quebec, Canada
Simeon LeRoy dit Audy was born in Creances Normandy. Simeon settled first in the fief or seigneurie of St.-Joseph or L'espinay, Charlesbourg, near the Charles River which belonged to the Hebert- Couillard de L'espinay family in Quebec, Canada in October 1668. He was a master carpenter.
The census of 1681 shows Simeon LeRoy and his wife Claude and their 8 children as residents of Montreal. Simeon's last appearance in the records of Montreal was at the time of the burial of his daughter Marie on May 21, 1681. The next appearance of Simeon on any public record found so far is in Albany, New York (which was then part of New France) when on November 28, 1682 he apprenticed his son Augustin, age 11 to Adam Winne to learn rope making for 6 consecutive years.
Sometime between May 1681 and November 1682 Simeon took or sent his second son, Jean, to St. Joseph, Charlesbourg to live with his godfather, Jean Giron, and took his wife and most (if not all) of their young children to Albany, New York in the United States. In or before 1689 he moved to Kingston, Ulster county, New York (which was then part of New France). In 1689 he rented a house that belonged to Jochem Hendrickse.
Simeon fell on hard times in his old age which is proved by the fact that on March 1, 1708 the trustees of Kingston gave him a pair of shoes and a load of wood and paid for the burial of his wife. It is thought that Simeon died soon after his last mention in the Ulster County tax list of 1710.
Simeon was a Roman Catholic but his children became Protestants and married Protestants. The first 9 of the 11 children of Simeon and Claude were born in Quebec. The two youngest were born in NY, probably Kingston, Ulster Co. (© Lorine McGinnis Schulze, OliveTree Genealogy)
As Simeon married one of the "Filles du Roi" (see notes on his wife) it is likely that he had served as a soldier in the army of King Louis XIV.
The first grist mill in the county was erected by Simeon Laraway, on the small stream called Millbrook, from that circumstance, which runs into Fox's creek near Waterbury's mills. (HISTORY OF SCHOHARIE COUNTY by Jeptha R. Simms - 1845, CHAPTER III)
