Assasiné par Dumont de Blaignac, Leut.

---

   Enlisted to come to Nouvelle France 04-18-1653. Arrived 11-16-1653 on the ship Sainte-Mauguerite.

Came from France to canada on St. Nicolas-de-Nantes in 1653. He became engaged in April 1864. Possibly met Marie on board during the trip.
Like most settlers in early Canada he had been contracted for 5 years as a labourer and, if necessary, a defender of the fort at Ville Marie. He obtained his concession early and began a life of buying and selling property.
He was murdered with a sword by Lt. Dumont de Blaignac on 09-13-1690, a French marine, who escaped. A civil suit was brought against the de Blaign family but the Hunaut family made no gain from it as they had ceded all their rights to a settlement to Charles Cougne to whom Toussaint owed much money.

Son of Nicolas and Marie Benoist

He was assassinated by Lieutenant Dumont Blaignac

18-4-1653 started the La Flèche Arriving in Montreal on 16-11-1653 _____________________________________________________

The place of origin of the ancestor families and Deschamps Hunault reads in the act of marriage celebrated in Montreal, November 23, 1654: "parochia Sti Petri Bellovacensis diocese," that is to say St. Peter's Parish of the Diocese of Beauvais. The designation is rather vague, but the articles of agreement of the 1653 Rookie of the said happily born "Saint-Pierre to the Champs, near Gournay in Normandy." Borders of that province, the parish of Saint-Pierre-és-field is located actually in the Ile-de-France and not in Picardy, as was recently the claim. It was part of the district of Paris and the election of Beauvais. This is why the town now belongs to the department of Oise, on the border of the Seine-Maritime, and not far from the department of Eure. At about six kilometers south of the Normandy town of Gournay, it has always been strongly marked by the imprint of Normandy.

The parish registers of Saint-Pierre-es-Champs held in the departmental archives of the Oise, Beauvais, back to the late 16th century. We have consulted on microfilm negative baptisms for the period 1617-1637 (Mi 467), which should help raise the act on Toussaint Hunault it there. It would indeed be born between 1625 and 1630, according to statements made in the census of 1666 (38), 1667 (42 years) and 1681 (56 years). He was the son of Nicolas and Marie Benoist Hunault, from his marriage. But here's what we have traced about this couple:

- "The May 18, 1620 was baptized Mary, daughter of Nicolas and Marie Benoist Hunot father and mother, so named by Pierette Benoist, Philippe godfather (Benoist?). "

- "The L6e day of May 1623 was baptized by Nicolas Jehan Hunot filz Hunot and Marie Benoist, his parin Jehan Langlois, Marriner's Beard Benoist. "

- "The September 12, 1632 was baptized (Francis?) Son of Nicolas and Unot Mary Benoist, his godfather (Bartholomew ...?) Hunot Marye's godmother. "

- "On July 25, 1634 son of François Nicolas Unot and Pierrette Duval. "

The latter relates baptism may not have the same parents as the other three. It also does not appear that the baptized to 1632 is named Toussaint. But it is still remarkable that the interval of nine years between 1623 and 1632, for which we found no note on the family Hunault includes precisely the period during which the future must have been born Canadian settler. An act has escaped our attention, but not two or three, because the couple Hunault-Benoit has surely had at least two children during this time. The records do not too much difficulty reading as a whole and the microfilm is quite clear. The chronological order of actions is extremely upset by cons and the pages are often upside down, at least on film. It may well be that the leaves are gone, unless they are below, with acts that we have not consulted. Toussaint's parents were finally able to move temporarily, so that their children born 1625-1630 to be registered in another parish.

A fact is not insignificant: the family actually lived Toussaint Hunault Saint-Pierre-es-Champs, the proof is now made. It is also likely that he was born. There are at least several Hunault in this parish and even more Benoit. We also found the name of Dorillard, which is that of another settler of the 17th century originating in that region, said Dorillard Guy Saint-Jean.

Le lieu d'origine de l'ancêtre des familles Hunault et Deschamps se lit comme suit dans l'acte de son mariage célébré à Montréal, le 23 novembre 1654 : « parochia Sti Petri diocesis Bellovacensis », c'est-à-dire de la paroisse Saint-Pierre de l'évêché de Beauvais. La désignation est assez vague, mais le contrat d'engagement de cette recrue de 1653 le dit fort heureusement originaire de « Saint-Pierre aux Champs, proche Gournay, en Normandie». Limitrophe de cette dernière province, la paroisse de Saint-Pierre-és-Champs se situait à vrai dire dans l'Ile-de-France et non en Picardie, comme on a pu récemment le prétendre. Elle faisait partie de la généralité de Paris et de l’élection de Beauvais. C'est pourquoi la commune appartient aujourd'hui au département de l'Oise, à la frontière de la Seine-Maritime et pas très loin du département de l'Eure. A quelque six kilomètres seulement au sud de la ville normande de Gournay, elle a toujours été fortement marquée par l'empreinte de la Normandie.

Les registres paroissiaux de Saint-Pierre-ès-Champs conservés aux Archives départementales de l'Oise, à Beauvais, remontent à la fin du 16e siècle. Nous avons pu consulter sur microfilm négatif les baptêmes de la période 1617-1637 (Mi 467), ce qui aurait dû permettre de relever l'acte relatif à Toussaint Hunault s'il s'y trouve. Celui-ci serait en effet né entre 1625 et 1630, d'après les déclarations faites lors des recensements de 1666 (38 ans), 1667 (42 ans) et 1681 (56 ans). Il était fils de Nicolas Hunault et de Marie Benoist, d'après son acte de mariage. Or, voici ce que nous avons retracé à propos de ce couple:

- « Le 18 mai 1620 a esté baptisée Marie fille de Nicolas Hunot et de Marie Benoist père et mère, ainsi nommée par pierette Benoist, le parrain Philippe (Benoist?). »

- « Le l6e jour du mois de mai 1623 a esté baptisé Jehan Hunot filz de Nicolas Hunot et de Marie Benoist, son parin Jehan Langlois, sa marrine Barbe Benoist. »

- « Le douzième septembre 1632 a esté baptisé (François?) fils de Nicolas Unot et de Marye Benoist, son parrain (Barthélémy …?) sa maraine Marye Hunot. »

- « Le 25 juillet 1634 François fils de Nicolas Unot et de Pierrette Duval. »

Ce dernier baptême ne se rattache peut-être pas aux mêmes parents que les trois autres. Il ne semble pas par ailleurs que le baptisé de 1632 puisse se prénommer Toussaint. Mais il est tout de même remarquable que l'intervalle de neuf ans, entre 1623 et 1632, pour lequel nous n’avons relevé aucun acte relatif à la famille Hunault, comprend justement la période pendant laquelle le futur colon canadien a dû naître. Un acte a pu échapper à notre attention, mais pas deux ou trois, car le couple Hunault-Benoit a sûrement eu au moins deux enfants au cours de ce laps de temps. Les registres ne présentent pas non plus de trop grandes difficultés de lecture dans l’ensemble et le microfilm est assez clair. L'ordre chronologique des actes apparaît par contre extrêmement bouleversé et les pages sont fréquemment à l'envers, du moins sur le film. Il se pourrait fort bien que des feuilles aient disparu, à moins qu'elles se trouvent plus loin, avec des actes que nous n'avons pas consultés. Les parents de Toussaint ont pu enfin se déplacer temporairement, de sorte que leurs enfants nés vers 1625-1630 seraient enregistrés dans une autre paroisse.

Un fait demeure qui n'est pas négligeable : la famille de Toussaint Hunault habitait effectivement Saint-Pierre-ès-Champs, la preuve en est maintenant faite. Il est également probable que celui-ci y est né. Il y a en tout cas plusieurs Hunault dans cette paroisse et encore plus de Benoit. Nous avons aussi relevé le nom de Dorillard, qui est celui d'un autre colon du 17e siècle originaire de cette région, Guy Dorillard dit Saint-Jean.

http://www.nosorigines.qc.ca/GenealogieQuebec.aspx?genealogy=Toussa... Toussaint Hunault (Heneau) dit Deschamps and Marie Lorgueil were married on November 23, 1654 in Montreal.

Changed burial location from Montreal per:

Although Toussaint was murdered in Montreal, he was probably buried at Saint-Joseph Cemetery (Rivière-des-Prairies)(The way it's listed on findagrave).  The records for that year at Saint-Joseph-de-la-Rivière-des-Prairies are missing, but that is where he lived, and the records of Notre-Dame in Montreal do not have his burial listed in their register between his death on 13 September and 5 October 1690.
