Le nom Mercure appartient aux 8oo familles de souche au Canada SVP, REVENIR SUR CE SITE, IL EST EN VOIE DE TRADUCTION. MERCI, DANIELLE Francois Mercure, dit de Villenouvelle, Toulouse, Languedoc, né en 1666, était un ami de Philippe de Rigaud, Marquis de Vaudreuil qui devint le Gouverneur le 1er aout 1703, l'année de la grande épidémie. Vaudreuil and Subercase both asked St-Castin for help in fighting the British. Governor Subercase was commended for his courage, as were also Saillant and Saint-Castin, in the Port Royal's defense against the British. The term "dit de Villenouvelle" has no value whatsoever, unless as a family branch identifier, It only refers to the place of birth of Francois Mercure. Francois came to New France with the Regiment of Vaudreuil, as a guard. The Vaudreil family owned a castle in the city of Revel, in the south of France, at 5 km from the village of Villenouvelle, which had been built in the 15th century around the prieuré St.Sernin de Goudourville, where the cimeterry now is, and which used to depend directly from the King. It's fortifications were destroyed in the 18th century. The church is from the 16th century and was there when Vaudreuil and Mercure decide to emigrate. Villenouvelle is 25 km south of Toulouse, in the Languedoc. In 1697 several regiments came to NewFrance to fight of the British and the first Nations who were the British's allies. Marie-Josephe Mercure, (who would become dame Francois-Benjamin Pichon-Toulouse,and be the Grand-Mother of Justine Papin who married Joseph-Nicaise Marsolet Lemire) was born in Cap Sante, daughter of Pierre Mercure and Solange Chaput,(Marie-Josephe Chaput Senez was the Mother of Bonaventure Senez Lemire Marsolet whose maternal Grand-Mother was Madeleine Gaudry de la Bourbonniere, Gr.grand-Mother of Joseph-Nicaise LeMire Marsolet, husband of Justine Papin), was the Grand-daughter of Francois Mercure and his second wife, Marie Perrot (Perrault)the first child and daughter of Joseph LeFlot Perrot Seigneur d'Argentenay and of Marie Daubigeon Gagne, who would have a total of nine children. Incidentally, as one of her own descendant would marry in the Guyon family, two brothers of Marie married two cousins: Bertrand Perrot, her closest brother, born Jan 7 1692 in Montréal married in Ste-Famille, Feb.2nd 1715, to Marie-Madeleine Lehoux Guyon (Claude GUYON & Marie-Madeleine Lehoux) but she died two years later and he remarried four months later (1717) to Angélique Drouin Simon. Marie's brother Jacques Perrault, the seventh child of the family, born on March 19 1702, was married to Marie-Françoise Lehoux Guyon (daughter of Gervais Guyon & Catherine Lehoux)born on March 13 1711 Ste-Famille Î.O Another sister, Geneviève Perrot born on January 30 1698 in Ste-Famille Î.O. was married in the Drouin-Loignon family, which some of Marie's descendants would marry into again: On November 22nd 1717, Genevieve married Nicolas Drouin (son of Nicolas & Marie Loignon) born in 1690 also at Ste-Famille Î.O. Present at Francois' second wedding on January 31 1707,when he married Marie Perrot, were Philippe de Rigaud, Marquis de VAUDREUIL, Gouverneur du Canada (who signed as a witness), several merchants and bourgeois from Québec city and...Jean Catelan and Jeanne Carreau, his previous in-laws, who, not only were present but honoured the new couple with an imposing monetary gift. Francois Mercure was 41 and Marie Perrot was ...17! Their marriage was nothing less but lavish. They married in the parish of Ste-Famille (on the Île d'Orléans) in a celebration that was tagged : "le marriage les plus somptueux que la jeune colonie aura connu" [the most somptuous wedding the young colony has seen]. SOME CHILDREN OF FRANCOIS MERCURE AND MARIE PERROT: Pierre, Joseph, (Father of Louis and Michel) Jean-Francois(?). Let us start earlier, in 1697, when Francois had his first wedding: François Mercure and Marie Catelan married on January 23, 1697 in Sainte-Anne-de-la-Pérade (near Trois-rivières). Marie Catelan's health however was fragile: she died in 1701 at the early age of 25. They had no children. She was the daughter of Jean Catelan and Jeanne Carreau. She was born at the Pointe-aux-Trembles (Neuville) near Québec. (not to be mistaken with the modern city of Pointe-Aux-Trembles located in the Montréal area). The relation between Francois Mercure and Jean Catelan (his in-laws) was very good. They kept their relationship alive for many years (at least until the death of Catelan). Records and notary minutes often show their mutual presence as witnesses in various sales acts and other. It is possible that Mercure's second marriage to Marie Perrot was a "mariage d'intérêt" as we say, and that his first marriage (Marie Catelan) had been one of love. Regardeless, one thing is for certain: Jean catelan considered his former son-in-law with the highest regards and vice versa. Also, when he married the second time, Francois did not have any known children and it was probably another determinant for his marriage. After the death of Marie (1701), Mercure disappeard for about 5 or 6 years. Records lost track of him, but it is believed that he joined the ranks of his former Chief of regiment (and probably friend) Philippe de Rigaud, Marquis de VAUDREUIL who was promoted Governor of Canada in 1703. Mercure reappears in the archives of Sainte-Anne-de-la-Pérade in 1706: a notary act describes the sale of his land where he had lived with Marie Catelan. Further research yields the fact that François Mercure had to sell this land as a condition for marrying Marie Perrot (Perrault) daughter of Joseph Perrot Seigneur d'Argentai. The Seigneur d'Argentenay imposed this condition probably to "motivate" Mercure to settle down and begin founding a family. Another condition was that he would have to live in Cap Santé in the house that still stands on rue Bois de l'ail. Around 1721, François Mercure was named Captain of the Militia in Cap Santé (despite the fact that this title was supposed to be granted only to a person whose past was irreprochable and that Mercure had spent some time in jail for having broken the arm of one of his neighbours over a dispute concerning dead wood) tru the agency of Vaudreuil who intervened to allow his former arm-fellow to enjoy the pivileges and duties of the title. Pierre Mercure is the best-knowned son of François Mercure. He continued the family tradition and was named captain of the militia in Cap Santé. Joseph Mercure was the Father of Louis and Michel Mercure who helped found Madawaska in northern New-Brunswick.(There is supposed to be a statue in the Madawaska county that recognises the contribution of the Mercure brothers to the creation of Madawaska) Louis Mercure was also famous as a courrier and woodsman. He often served Governor Haldiman (first governor of canada after the Conquest [or the Defeat, ... depending on which side you were on!]) One thing is sure however, it took only one generation for the Mercures to branch out into two distinct lineages : the Acadian lineage with Joseph and his sons Louis and Michel; and the Québec lineage with Pierre and I believe another son called Jean-François (often mistaken for François himself). So whatever the lineage, it always comes back to this. The motto of the Mercure family: "Sans craindre, ni feindre" [Without Fear, nor Feign] Also in 1707, the same year that Francois Mercure married Marie Perrot, Bernard-Anselme d'Abbadie, fourth Baron of St-Castin son fo Vincent, nobleman at the Court of Louis XIV and of Matilda Pidicwanmiskwe, a Penobscot Abenaki princess married in Port-Royal, Charlotte Guyon D'Amours de Chauffours By her wedding to Francois Benjamin Pichon-Toulouse, (son fo Francois-Marie Joseph Mercure, grandson of Francois Pichon-Toulouse and Jeanne Lanthier) Josephe Mercure was now allied to the families of: Simon-Dominique Pichon Toulouse, Marie Bresac or Marie Brissac,Zacharie Desjardins,Antoine Desjardins,Therese Lemire,Jean-Baptiste Morin,Guillaume Bonhomme-Dulac,Marie Martin,Noel Berthiaume,Joseph Lalonge dit l'Espagnol,Marie-Josephe Poirier,Jeanne Lanthier,Jacques Lantier,Angelique Labry,Lanthier,Bachan, Dubois, Dumetz, Vinet, Ranger, Brunet,Jean Dubreuil, dit St-Felix,Genevieve Duchesne,Jacques Varin (for more info:Go to Papin Family The grand-daughter of Marie-Josephe Mercure Pichon-Toulouse, Justine Papin would have 14 children who would marry in the families of: Marie Rose Peltier (ou Pelkin Peloquin), Denis Lesage ,Edouard Marsolais,Flavie Dorval,Basile Papin,Mathilde Perreault,Francois Labelle Ptre,Eulalie Dorval,Francois Forest,Adelaide Papin,Charles Lemire ptre,Helene Roussin veuve de Bellecourt,Georges Lesage,ptre,,Florence Brosseau,Eustache Lemire,Alfred Dupuis, ptre,Julie Cloutier,Médérée Dorval,Luce Lemire,du Dr.Norbert Chamberland,Joseph Laporte,Louise Marsolet,Jean-Baptiste Forest,Emilie Guilbaut,Ferreol Dorval, ptre,Elie Lemire, Léa Lemire Justine Papin's children, by their Father Joseph-Nicaise Lemire Marsolet, were descendants of: Nicholas Marsolet de St.Aignan and Marie LeBarbier Jean Guyon et Mathurine Robin Louis D'Amours and Elisabeth Tessier The king of France, from 1643 to 1715 was LOUIS XIV succeeded by LOUIS XV, from 1715 to 1774 D'AILLEBOUST D'ARGENTENAY FAMILY The first seigneur d'Argentenay in the Ile d'Orleans fief was Louis d'AILLEBOUST (1612-1660), sieur de Coulonges and Argentenay, Engineer, Third (3rd) Governor & Lieutenant-général of New France - He came from Coulonges-en-Tardenais, a town in the Aisne; Argentenay, which was in the Yonne (France). The family had been in the French nobility since the Antiquity. Pierre d'Ailleboust was the regular doctor of François Ier (King of France from 1515-1547); Pierre died in 1531, leaving six or seven children. Jean d'Ailleboust, the youngest child, became the first surgeon of Henri IV (King of France from 1589-1610. Jean had two sons, Henri, sieur de Mivoisin (Loiret) and Antoine, sieur de Coulonges. Antoine d'Ailleboust, councillor to the prince of Condé, was married twice and he had at least three children: - Nicolas d'Ailleboust, from the first marriage, had male sons. - Catherine became a nun at l'abbaye of Reims - Louis d'Aillebou came to Canada, (As per: Aeg. Fauteux, La Fam. d'Ailleboust, Montréal, 1917 ). Louis was born in 1612 at Ancy-le-Franc (Yonne). In Paris, on September 6 1638, he married Marie-Barbe Quéan de Boullogne, daughter of Florentin de Boullogne and Eustache Quéan, who came from Ravières (Yonne). Marie-Barbe was sickly and the doctors thought she was going to die in a short time, so when she insisted on going to Canada with her husband, they let her come, with her sister Philippine de Boullogne. Because the couple knew the "Société de Ville-Marie" it was a simple matter to make the arrangements for their passage to New France. In the spring of 1643 they went to La Rochelle to take their ship and they landed in Quebec on August 15, 1643. The Relations des Jesuites tells of their arrival and how their first action was to go to the Quebec Church to consecrate themselves to God and the salvation of the First Nations. In 1645 when M. de Maisonneuve had to go to France, he named M. d'Ailleboust gouverneur-intérimaire. In 1647 he was chosen to go to the French Court with M. Juchereau des Châtelets to make some representations on some modifications to the Privy Council (Conseil privé). On the recommendations of the "Compagnie des Cent-Associés", Mazarin chooses him as the successor to M. de Montmagny, on March 2nd 1648; it is a three years nomination. During this time, for five years, Marie-Barbe, his wife, had been working with Jeanne-Mance in the Quebec hospital. Now, in 1648, she joins him at the Chateau St-Louis, whereas her sister decides to become a nun with the Ursulines de Quebec, where she lived another nineteen years. Louis d'Ailleboust got a "fief" at l'Ile d'Orleans on July 23rd 1652 which he named "Seigneurie d'Argentenay" He helped build the Monastery for the Ursulines de Quebec and he accomplished many missions during his time in New France. He was the one who pronounced an Act of War against any Iroquois who would come and stand in front of the forts of Quebec, Trois-Rivieres and Ville-Marie. On May 31st 1660 he came back to Ville-Marie (Montreal) to die, ten days after their victory at Long-Saut. The historian Dollier de Casson said that he had a very christian death. Three years later his wife entered the Ursulines, then went to the Hospitalieres in 1670. She died on June 7 1685 in her own house, next door to the Hotel-Dieu Hospital of Quebec. The tradition wants that when they were married the couple had pronounced vows of chastity.
