Jean Baudet Jean Baudet and his friends left France aboard a ship called "Le Noir d’Amsterdam". This small ship under the direction of Captain Pierre de Filly of Dieppe arrived in Québec on May 25, 1664. Among the passengers only 42 could be identified. It is to be noted that among the passengers a young girl, Jeanne Besnard, made the crossing accompanied by Jeanne Mance. The latter was a devoted nurse, who, with the help and generosity of Mme De Buillon founded the "Hotel Dieu of Montreal" hospital. Jeanne Mance, was already living in Canada since 1641. In 1666, according to the records our ancestor was hired by Nicolas Gaudry. He is believed to have worked at least three years for this farmer and perhaps more, for two years later, as we read in Father Scott’s History of Ste Foy, Jean Baudet was still in the area. Ancestor Marie Grandin
We are now in 1670. It has been six years since Jean Baudet arrived in New France. Well accustomed to the new world , he decides to found a family. Now let us talk about the woman who shared her life with Jean Baudet and became the ancestor to all the Beaudet families of America. Her name was Marie Grandin, a French orphan girl, newly arrived in Canada. Marie, daugther of Michel Grandin and Marie Lejeune, was born in St-Euverte parish in the city of Orléans, today part of Du Loiret sur La Loire, a district about 125 km from Paris. Marie was nineteen years old and was part of a contingent of girls called "Les Filles du Roi" when she left for Canada.
Who are " Les Filles du Roi "?
Sylvio Dumas gives us a good explanation of what are "Les Filles du Roi" in the following text: "How to attract to Canada a sufficient number of French girls to give the young bachelors a chance to found a family? King Louis XIV and his minister Colbert had a plan. The Royal Treasury accepted to contribute part of the expenses for the trip and those needed to settle the young immigrant gils in Canada. They entrusted merchants with the task of recruting girls from France and were allotted 10 pounds for each girl found. The cost of the trip and stay in Canada for these immigrants were at the expense of the Royal Treasury. The girls who couldn’t afford a modest trousseau were not excluded as the King himself paid for what was needed. Once hired " Les Filles du Roi" were taken to a seaport, Dieppe or LaRochelle, where they embarked a ship bound for Canada. Upon their arrival, "Les Filles du Roi" were divided into three groups: 70% were sent to Quebec City and the surroundings, 12% to Three Rivers and 18% to Montreal. They were placed in trustworthy families at the expense of the Royal Treasury. As for Marie Grandin, she was greeted by Mrs. Bourdon (Anne Gasnier) who became like a mother to her. On September 28, 1670 Jean Baudet marries Marie Grandin in the chuch of Notre-Dame de Québec. Marie was nineteen and Jean was twenty years old. The young couple worked very hard to make ends meet. They spent the first years of their marriage in Sillery. On September 4, 1672 Jean Baudet rents from Mr. Noel Ringuet, a piece of land with a house, a barn and a stable. Six years later he rents from Mr. Mathurin Moreau two oxen and a cart with accessories. In 1677 Jean and Marie leave Sillery for Lotbinière, where they rent the land reserved for the Lordship of Lotbinière. As Lord Louis Chartier of Lotbinière was always busy in Quebec City, because of his work, he confided to Jean Baudet the care of his seignorial domain. Two years later Jean renews his rental contract. During these four years Jean built the seignorial manor and lived there, on the condition that he reserve a room for the Lord of Lotbinière when he visits his land. In 1680 Jean Baudet obtains from his Lordship, his first concession on "Platon de Lotbinière " but continues working for the Lord while building a house on his own concession. The following year he establishes his family on his own land.( See map below) While clearing the land, cultivating the earth, taking care of the buildings and animals, Jean Baudet establishes an important business of eels. For about twenty years he kept fishing and delivering eels as far as Montreal, 20 to 40 barrels each season. In 1708 Jean Baudet obtains from the Lord of Lotbinière a second concession which, he divides between his sons Jean-Baptiste, Michel and Jacques. (See map below) Our ancestor dies sommewhere between March 25 and July 8, 1714. His wife cedes the concession on Platon de Lotbinière to her eldest son Charles, on condition that he takes care of her till her death. Marie Grandin dies on July 14, 1715 in Hotel-Dieu Hospital in Quebec City.
