Biography [1]
Joseph Chevalier was born in 1644 to Jean Chevalier and Magdeleine L'Heureux and baptized at St. Jacques in Dieppe, Normandy, France.1
In 1662, at the age of 18, Joseph sailed to Quebec as a master woodworker.2 These tradesmen often got their passage paid for by committing to work in the service of their benefactor, usually for three years.2
In 1670 Joseph married a Filles du Roi[2] named Francoise-Marthe Barton. They signed their marriage contract and had the marriage the very same day: October 7, 1670 in Montreal.1
By the time of the 1681 Census of Montreal, 37-year old Joseph and 28-year old Francoise have had five of their total thirteen children. The census records the children and their ages: Marie-10, Pierre-8, Jean-6, Jean Baptiste-4, and Elisabeth-2.3
Joseph lived almost three decades past when Francoise died. He died at the age of 86 in the hospital, Hôtel-Dieu in Montreal.4
