I have found recordsthat indicate their death date was7Jan 1654, their son's wedding datein Canada, but have yet to confirm this.Jacques Beauvais dit St. Gemme... is from small village of St. Martin d'Ige in the Perche (Anjou) region of France. Jacques was christened 22 Nov 1623. On 7Jan 1654 he married Jeanne Sold? in Montreal.This was found about Jeanne's passage from France to Canada in 1653 as part of the La Grande Recue:The Few WomenRecruits... few women also boarded the Saint-Nicolas-de-Nantes and sailed to New France. ...the massivearrival of the King's Wards only started in 1663. In 1653, the major concern was to bring men over to defend New France. R.-J. Auger ... recordedthe names of fifteen female passengers. Recent research conducted by the Soci?t? de g?n?alogie canadienne-fran?aise indicates that there were actually fourteen women. Let us start with the names and the cities or villages they came from:1. ARTUS, Michelle - Noyen-sur-Sarthe (Sarthe / Pays de la Loire)2. BOURGEOYS, Marguerite - Troyes (Aube / Champagne-Ardenne)3. DUMESNIL, Marie - La Fl?che (Sarthe / Pays de la Loire)4.

VOIDY (ou VEDY ou VEDI?),Jeanne - Saint-Germain-du-Val (Sarthe / Pays de la Loire)Here is some additional information about these women. Perrine Meunier came over with her husband, Julien Daubigeon. It should benoted that she was pregnant during the crossing and gave birth toadaughter ten days after arriving! Two younggirls married in Quebec City. They were Michelle Artus, who married Jean Descaries dit Le Houx, on November 5, 1654, and Marie Renaudin, who joined in matrimony with Nicolas Levieux, on September 9, 1654.Although both women eventually returned to France in 1670, it is interesting to note that one of their daughters became a nursing nun and died at the H?tel-Dieu de Qu?bec. Marie Dumesnil, a 12-year-old orphan was assigned to MargueriteBourgeoys,who assumed responsibility for her until she married Andr? Charly dit Saint-Ange (November 9, 1654).Four of the new arrivals married recruits: Catherine Huraultmarried Jean Lemercher (October 13, 1654), Marie Lorgueil married Toussaint Hunault ditDeschamps (November 23, 1654), Marie Renaud married Mathurin Langevin dit Lacroix (September5, 1654) and Jeanne Rousselier married Pierre Gaudin dit Chastillon (October 13, 1654). Five others married men from Montreal: Catherine Lorion married Pierre Vilain (October 13, 1654), Jeanne Merrin married ?loi Jarry dit Lahaye (September 11, 1654), Marie-Marthe Pinson married Jean Milot (January 7, 1654), Jeanne Sold? married Jean Beauvais (January 7, 1654) and Jeanne Voidy married JeanDumay (November9,1654). Finally, one of the women was later called the Mother of the Colony ? and for good cause. This was, of course, Marguerite Bourgeoys, the first educator and 'social worker' of Ville-Marie, who needsno introduction.Some ofthe recruits,in addition to Marguerite Bourgeoys, led very extraordinary lives...from Maison Saint-GabrielJacques died and was buried, in Montreal, 20 Mar 1691. Jeanne was born in 1632 in LaFleche, Angers, Anjou, France, and died 12 Nov 1697 in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.
