Biography
Cécile was baptized conditonally on 10 Jun 1763 at the age of 8 months, having been baptized in the "bush", because of the distance to the local parish, Ste-Anne in Détroit. She was the daughter of voyageur Jean Brilland dit Beaulieu and Françoise, "Sauteuse de nation". Godparents were François Campeau and Demoiselle Cécile Marsac who alone signs the register. [1] [2] [3]
On 1 Jun 1787, in Ste-Anne de Detroit, Pierre Miny son of Antoine Mini and the late Marie Jeanne Seguin married Cecille Brillant daughter of Baptiste Brillant and Françoise. Witnesses included Gabriel St Obin and Jean Baptiste Cochois (signature). [4] [2] [3]
Cécile Briant, 30 year old wife of Pierre Mini, died 28 Sep 1793. She was buried the next day in Ste-Anne de Detroit cemetery. [5] [2] [3]
