"The fleet of 1636, under the command of DuPlessis-Bochart and havingarrived on June 11th, appears to be the most impressive in these first years of immigration by social level of the families which landed or by thedynaism that these new colonists displayed. Two knights of Malta were on board: Charles Huault de Montmagny, the successor to Champlain, and his lieutenant,Achille Brebault de L'Isle; two Jesuits; Noel Juchereau des Chastelet andJean-Paul Godefroy, who entered the country. Amongst the great number of familieswhich it brought over were in particular, ancestors from Normandy who soon willplay an important role in the economy, the Legardeur and LeNeuf Families.Pierre Legardeur de Repentigny, with his mother, wife and three children; hisbrother Charles Legardeur de Tilly; their brother-in-law, Jacques LeNeuf de LaPoterie, accompanied by his mother, wife and daughter; Michel LeNeuf du Herisson, brother of Jacques with his daughter; two sisters of LeNeuf, MArie and Madeleine, the latter arriving with her husband, Jean Pinterel duColombier, and four sons. Father Le Jeune estimates these families alone consist of45 people aparently counting the servants and contract workers. Along withthese families came the Sevestre family from Paris, which also becameimportant. It was in 1636 probably that the wives and children of the Lods Gyion andCloutier arrived. We should mention other families at a lesser level, those of Jean Cochon, of Nicolas Pelletier, of the widow Pinel, of Pierre Gadois, of the carpenter Antoine Arnoux, of the brewer Pierre Blondel, of ChristopheCrevier dit Lamesle; or individuals such as Francois Belanger, James Bourguignondit Le Patron, Antoine Brassard, Robert Caron, the brothers Jacques and Robert Caumont, the clerk Pierre de la Porte, Guillaume Isabelle, the notaryJean de Lespinasse, Claude Poulin, among others. We identify two marriageabledaughters Claire Morin (who will marry Bourguignon on November 30, 1636, RobertCaron will be present at their marriage), and Francoise Mery. At least twoimmigrants are Huguenots. In total we recognize 98 people, including 11 couples and 2 women who came to join their husbands. The fleet left at the end ofAugust with two Jesuits, te commander Laviolette, Nicolas Marsolet, the Perche native Charles Pierre and some amerindians." !ORIGINS: Excerpt from "Robert Caron and His Family", by Ivanhoe Caron,Pg. 3. "Some authors have maintained the Robert Caron came from Normandy, othershave said that he was a Breton (We read in the "Ursulines of Trois-Riviere",Vol III, page 272: The Carons are natives of the Artois, but one of them hadhis family in Britanny. Today his descendants are established in Rennes, inDol and other areas in Ile and Vilaine. Robert left Renne for Canada towards 1640and settled at Ste-Anne-de-Beaupre.) Strong presumptive evidence favors thefirst opinion. It apprears that Robert Caron would have been part of the first recruits sent to Canada by the Company of One Hundred Associates, made up mainly of people from Normandy, such as the LeGardeur, LeNeuf de laPoterie, and Herisson families. A close examination of the conditions imposed onthe One Hundred Associates permits us to conclude that they could recuit their colonists from different areas and in fact, they recruited them from allover the provinces of France. The more we study the origins of the firstcolonists of Canada, the more we become convinced that that they had among thosewho came to New France, from 1630 to 1640, a large proportion of folk fromSaintonge and Aunis. We believe that Robert Caron was neither a Norman or a Breton, butthat he came from Saintonge and that he embarked at LaRochelle for Canada. It appears that he disembarked at Quebec in the summer of 1636 becasue he is present at the marriage of Jamen Bourguignon and Claire Morin on November30, 1636. In the month of February 1660, Monsignor de Laval travelled to Chateau-Richer and administered the sacrament of confirmation to animposing group of inhabitants on the Beaupre coast: Marie Crevet is among theconfirmed; it is said that she hails from the diocese of Bayeux. At the same timeMarie Caron is confirmed -- the young wife of Jean Picard. The odd thing is that Marie is mentioned as coming from the diocese of LaRochelle. In ouropinion, there is proof which strongly militates in favor of the opinion stated atthe beginning of this work, that Robert came from LaRochelle or it's environs. Marie Caron having heard her father say that he was from LaRochelle,concluded that she should say she was a native of that area; otherwise why not saythat she came from the diocese of Bayeaux, like her mother, or simply declarethat she was born at Quebec. We can even ask if she wasn't born at LaRochelle, during a trip Robert Caron and his wife could have made there after their marriage." The registers of Notre-Dame de Rocouvrance were destroyed byfire in June 1640. Those records probably would have told us of Robert Caron'sorigin. !COMMENT: Reginald Olivier, "Your Ancient Canadian Family Ties", c. 1972,Page 49.
