Biography

Agathe was the daughter of Jean Laurent Gosselin and Marie Pélagie Martel. She is of age when she marries in April 1803, so born before April 1782. Her parents marry in November 1773, and there are 2 children born in Sept. 1774 and Nov. 1775, then a gap of 3+ years to February 1779 for the next baptism of their children. Her funeral in 1844 gives her 73 years of age, which would put her birth in 1771, probably an overestimation by the priest. Her baptism cannot be found under that name, and she is not one of the other girls baptized in this family, who all are accounted for. The family lived in Saint-Pierre, Île d'Orléans throughout the parents' lives.[1] Date estimated.


Marriage on 18 Apr 1803 in Saint-Pierre, Île d'Orléans, between Agathe Gosselin, daughter of Laurent Gosselin and Pélagie Martel, with Joseph Fournier, aubergiste de Québec. His brother Antoine and son Joseph Fournier are cited present at the wedding. (he is not stated as being a widower, although he was)[2]

9 children from the marriage, of which 4 died young, 1 died at age 20, 1 at age 28, and 3 married.[1]
