Marin BOUCHER[1][2][3][4]
[Carpin #25][5][6]

Naissance:
Marin Boucher est né vers 1587 à Saint-Jean, Mortagne-au-Perche, en l'ancienne province du Perche en France .[1][2][7][8] Tanguay identifie Marin et Gaspard comme frères. [9][2]

Mariage de Marin Boucher et Julienne Baril

1° Mariage:
Le 7 février 1611, dans l'église Saint-Jean à Mortagne dans le Perche, Marin Boucher âgé de ~24 ans épouse en premières noces Julienne Baril âgée de ~20 ans, fille de Jean Baril et Raouline Creste.[10][11]

Julienne et Marin s’établissent à La Barre près de Saint-Langis où ils ont élevé sept enfants, dont six furent baptisés à Saint-Langis, le dernier à Saint-Jean de Mortagne. Julienne fut inhumée le 12 décembre 1627 à Mortagne-au-Perche.[10] De leurs enfants, seul François accompagnera son père en Nouvelle-France.[2][12]

2° Mariage:
Vers 1628, [12][2] à Saint-Langis dans le Perche.[1]Marin Boucher âgé de ~42 ans épouse en secondes noces Perrine Mallet âgée de ~25 ans, fille de Pierre Mallet et de Jacqueline Ligier.

Ils auront 2 enfants avant de partir pour la colonie, ces deux enfants les accompagnant. Ils en auront 5 autres en Nouvelle-France. (voir leurs profils).

Le 13 janvier 1633, un an avant leur départ, Marin et Perrine Mallet achètent un lot de terre près de La Barre dans le Perche. [3] Vers cette époque, le couple vend à Jean Guyon une maison qu'ils possédent à Mortagne, rue Saint-Jean.[13]

Migration en Nouvelle-France:
Jean Guyon, sieur du Buisson, et sa femme Mathurine Robin dite Boule , Marin Boucher et sa femme Perrine Mallet, leurs fils Jean Galleran et Louis Marin, et François Boucher, fils du premier lit, sont parmi ceux qui migrent vers le Canada en débarquant à Québec le 4 juin 1634.[3][14][15] Marin Boucher est mentionné pour la première fois dans les registres le 22 juin 1636 à Québec lors du baptême de sa fille Françoise.[3]

Décédé le Jour de Noël 1635, Samuel de Champlain avait vitement pris Marin Boucher en amitié, car dans son testament, Champlain lui donne son dernier habit: « Donc avec sa permission je donne à Marin maçon demeurant vers la maison des Pères Récollets, le dernier habit que j’ai fait faire de l’étoffe que j’ai prise au magasin. »

Marin Boucher et son beau-frère Thomas Hayot sont d'abord fermiers sur une terre du domaine des Jésuites à Beauport.[16] Cette collaboration cesse le 11 juin 1646 quand « Boucher s'en alla et Thomas Hayot demeura chargé de tout. »[17] Marin Boucher et sa famille s'installent sur la terre 62[18] à Château-Richer en 1641.[12][16] Marin et Perrine vivent à Château-Richer lors du mariage de Louis Houde et Madeleine Boucher, qui fut célébré dans le logis de Marin Boucher à Château-Richer le 12 janvier 1655.[19]

Marin BOUCHER[1][2][4]
[Carpin #25][14][27]

Marin Boucher was born about 1587 in the parish of Saint-Jean of Mortagne located in the diocese of Séez and the ancient province of Perche.[1][2] On February 7, 1611 in the church of Saint-Jean in Mortagne, he married Julienne Baril, daughter of Jean Baril and Raouline Creste. Julienne and Marin established themselves in La Barre near Saint-Langis where they had seven children, of which six were baptized in Saint-Langis, the last in Saint-Jean de Mortagne. Born in Saint-Langis in Perche, Julienne died on December 15, 1627 and was buried at Saint-Langis the next day. [10] [11] Of their children, only François went with his father to New France.[2][12]

Around 1628 in Saint-Langis, Marin remarried with Perrine Mallet, daughter of Pierre Mallet and Jacqueline Ligier, from Courgeoût in Perche.[1] They will have 2 children before leaving for the colony, both accompanying them. They will have 5 more in New France. (see their profiles)

On 13 January 1633, a year before their departure, Marin Boucher and Perrine Mallet bought a piece of land near La Barre in Perche. Around this same time, they sold a house they owned in Mortagne, on Saint-Jean street, to Jean Guyon.[13]

Jean Guyon, sieur du Buisson, and his wife Mathurine Robin dite Boule , Marin Boucher and his wife Perrine Mallet, their sons Jean Galleran and Louis Marin, and François Boucher, son from Marin's first wife, are among those who migrated to Canada in 1634, arriving in Québec city on 4 June.[14][15] Marin Boucher is mentionned for the first time in records on 22 June 1636 in Québec at the baptism of his daughter Françoise.[28][29]

Samuel de Champlain, who died on Christmas day 1635, had evidently befriended Marin quickly judging from this excerpt from his will:

"Thus with his permission I give to the mason Marin, living towards the Recollet Fathers' house, the last suit that I had made from material which I got at the store."

On August 24, 1638, Marin was a witness in a dispute with a fellow Percheron, Thomas Giroust, over stolen property in which his relative Gaspard Boucher was the plaintiff.[30][31]

Marin Boucher and his brother-in-law Thomas Hayot were first farmers on land held by the Jesuits in Beauport.[16] This collaboration ended in 11 June 1646 when « Boucher left and Thomas Hayot remained in charge of everything. »[17] Marin Boucher and his family settle on the parcel of land numbered 62 (by Gariépy)[18] in Château-Richer in 1641.[12][16] Marin and Perrine are living in Château-Richer when the marriage of Louis Houde and Madeleine Boucher was celebrated in the home of Marin Boucher in Château-Richer on 12 January 1655.[19]

Marin Boucher's family is found on the 1666 census of Beauport as follows:
Marin Boucher, 77, mason, habitant ; Perrine Mallet, 60, his wife ; Guillaume, 18.[20] and also (counted twice) Marin Boucher, 79, habitant ; Perrine Mallet, 62, his wife ; Guillaume, 19, son[21]

In 1667 census, they are found on the Beaupré coast
Marin Boucher, 80 ; Perine Malet, his wife, 63 ; Guillaume, 20 ; André Berlan, servant, 18 ; 8 beasts, 20 arpents in value.[22]

Marin Boucher died and was buried on 29 March 1671 in Château-Richer cemetery, the funeral service done in the church La-Visitation-de-la-Bienheureuse-Vierge-Marie by F. Fillon, priest and missionary, witnesses being the priests Morel, and Nouvelle.[23] [24]

He had 1,454 descendants in 1729.[26]

Notes

Marin Boucher and Jeanne Boucher are shown to be brother and sister in the marriage contract of Marin's daughter Marie Boucher:

"FamilySearch Microfilm No. 2371066," images 1573-1576 de 2642. Contrat de mariage entre Charles Godin et Marie Boucher (1er octobre 1656, no. 500). https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-CSVN-3VPZ?i=1572&cat=1171569

this is the marriage contract between Charles Godin and Marie Boucher, daughter of Marin Boucher and Perrine Mallet.

The last line reads (pg 1576 in there):

Aussi Jeanne Boucher femme de Thomas Hayot oncle et tante de ladite future épouse ie also Jeanne Boucher wife of Thomas Hayot uncle and aunt of the said future wife and Thomas signs.

So Jeanne and Marin are sister and brother.

Thanks to Mark Connelly for finding this.


Two early settlers of Acadie are believed to be descended from Marin Boucher of New France, including a Jacques Boucher who shows up in a 1700 census of Port Royal (in present-day Nova Scotia), and Pierre Boucher who went to Grand Pré and married Anne Hebert on or around 1714. According to the Boucher family website, there are three main Boucher lines (Marin + François + Jean-Galleran; Gaspard + Pierre, sieur de Grosbois; and Jean born on or around 1650 in Saint-Etienne du Bourg de Chaix located in France's ancient Poitou province)[32] and eight minor Boucher lines.


According to Tanguay, the surname Boucher has given rise to no less than nineteen dit names: Belleville, Cambray, de Boucherville, de Grosbois, de la Bruyère, de la Perrière, de Montarville, de Montbrun, de Montisambert, de Niveville, Desnois, Desroches, Desrosiers, de Verchères, Dubois, Simon, St-Amour, St-Martin and St-Pierre.[33] PRDH shows multiple surnames associated with Boucher[34][35] Some of the early root ancestors' surname variations have of course been anglicized to names such as Bushey.

Inconnu is French for something along the lines of “Unknown.” I don’t think that was the name of his father but rather just some sort of way to say they didn’t know in whatever source the name Inconnu came from.
posted by Jackson Mikulsky
that is correct Jason, the Inconnu Boucher profile is a stub, created to link known brother and sister Marin and Jeanne. We don't know anything more about him. And Unknown isn't really appropriate on a French profile. Inconnu translates exactly as unknown.

I'm posting what I wrote on Marin's sister's profile today, since I'm not sure that profile is managed by the Quebecois Project (I'm guessing it should be?):

It looks like Jeanne is showing as the daughter of Jacques (Gaspard's father) instead of being attached to the placeholder father (Boucher-3288) that her brother Marin has. This marriage contract appears to be the proof for the sibling relationship between Marin and Jeanne -- if I am reading this correctly, the last page appears to state that Thomas Hayot is Marie Boucher (Marin's daughter)'s uncle:

Hi! In your download pdf. "La Famille de Marin Boucher" Marin is said to be the brother of Gaspard Boucher on several occasions. Why does Gaspard's profile include his parents Jacques Boucher and Françoise Paigné but Marin's parents are listed as unknown?
posted by Paul Beshara
Boucher-3352 and Boucher-64 appear to represent the same person because: Clear duplicate.
In the context used here, Giffard had indeed been a surgeon and apothecary before first immigrating to New France. So I have left it as 'surgeon and apothecary'.
posted by [Living Lambert]
Physician it is I guess.

None of the 300-odd Percheron Immigration Category's list come La Flèche - to far west. La Flèche was also a Jesuit stronghold.

posted by [Living Lambert]
but the centre hospitalier Robert-Giffard has nothing to do with him, it's just named in his honor.
posted by Danielle Liard
I concede the point. You might want to do more with this though, since you are interested in Percheron migration particularly. See https://www.archiv-histo.com/assets/publications/OutilsRecherche/1689-1760_Registre_journalier_des_malades_de_l'Hotel-Dieu_de_Quebec.pdf pages 9 and following, the nuns who founded Hôtel-Dieu hospital of Montréal were from La Flèche.
posted by Danielle Liard
Actually Robert Giffard's occupations in chronological order is as follows:
- Avant 1617, Giffard est peut-être confrère d'études de Louis Hebert
- apothecary in Tourouvre & Mortagne
- Marine surgeon before he married in 1628
- he eventually became 'premier médecin de la Nouvelle-France'
- médecien originaire du Roi
- En 1976, 'l’hôpital devient le Centre hospitalier Robert-Giffard'.

So I believe that Giffard's medical occupation progressed from apothecary, through surgeon, to physician.

My trusty reverso.net translates médecin to doctor or physician.

posted by [Living Lambert]
which makes him a surgeon, not a physician, even today the two are not totally the same, they have college of physicians and surgeons in most jurisdictions.
posted by Danielle Liard
The marine surgeon occupation as used by Robert Giffard referred to the requirement that all ship crossing the Atlantic (and elsewhere I suppose) have a marine surgeon on board. Giffard crossed the Atlantic several times in that capacity.
posted by [Living Lambert]
ah, surgeon and apothecary, not truly a doctor then per the definition of the times. Not sure Honorius Provost made the distinction. They were 2 distinct professions at the time, with some rivalry. Marine surgeon also agrees with the description given in the reference I gave, the king of France did institute that as a more respectable undertaking back then.

Honorius Provost says in Dictionary of Canadian Biography:

GIFFARD DE MONCEL, ROBERT, master surgeon, colonizing seigneur, member of the Communauté des Habitants, first doctor of the Hôtel-Dieu of Quebec and doctor in ordinary to the king . . .

GIFFARD DE MONCEL, ROBERT, maître chirurgien, seigneur colonisateur, membre de la Communauté des Habitants, premier médecin de l’Hôtel-Dieu de Québec et médecin ordinaire du roi . . .
