Biography

Per his marriage record, Julien de Bion was 45 years old when he married, son of Pierre de Bion and Gilette Adrian, his origin stated on the record being Belance or Belonce in the diocese of Vannes. Vannes is in Bretagne (Brittany), and the diocese covered the region called Vannetais or pays de Vannes, now covering the Morbihan.^[1]. His marriage contract named his origin as the parish of Brehan in that diocese in Brittany.

The census that same year gave him the age of 50. No way to tell which was right. Jeanne Baril was listed as 42 on the marriage record, and as 45 on the census that same year.

Julien bought land in 1680 in the seigneurie of Ste-Marie:

Vente d’une terre de 3 arpents de front sur 25 arpents de profondeur, sise en la seigneurie de Ste-Marie, par Mathurin GuiIlet à Julien De Bion, pour la somme de 45 livres ( 15 décembre 1680). Vol XXVII pg 126 (#174) Notaire Michel Roy dit Châtellerault^[2]

This seigneurie was located near the mouth of the Sainte-Anne river between the seigneuries of Batiscan and Sainte-Anne-de-la-Pérade, on the North side of the St-Lawrence river.^[3]

Vol XXVII pg 126 (#176) Notaire Michel Roy dit Châtellerault^[2]

Jeanne Barille remarried with Julien Lebion on 12 Jan 1681 in Ste-Anne-de-la-Pérade^[4][5]

Named as present at the marriage were Mathurin Texier (her son-in-law), Jacques Létourneau (her son), François Lancteau and Pierre Pinot.

No issue from this marriage.
