Biography

Anne Masson migrated from France to New France.

Anne Masson lived
in Canada, Nouvelle-France.

Anne Masson was born to Nicolas Masson and Martine-Bertine Duval in the parish of Notre-dame in Les Moitiers-d'Allonne in the arrondissement of Cherbourg, diocese of Coutances, Normandy.^[1] Her year of birth varies from about 1638, based on her age at death^[2] which is in keeping with her age of 44 years in the 1681 census.^[3] One source believes she was born about 1642.^[1]

Regardless, she boarded the ship, La Nouvelle France, along with a number of other "Filles du Roi" to sail to New France, arriving on 31 July 1670.^[4] The following month she contracted marriage to Robert Gallien on 29 August 1670.^[5] They then wed on the 8th of September 1670.^[6]

Anne was hospitalized at the Hôtel-Dieu de Québec on 13 September 1690 and was discharged the 2nd of October 1690.^{[7] [8]} She was admitted there again on 27 August 1710 and died the 13th of September of the same year at the estimated age of 72 years.^[2][8][9]
