Jeanne Crevier migrated from France to New France.
Birth and Baptism
Jeanne Crevier, eldest daughter of Christophe Crevier and Jeanne Evard or Enard, was baptized 4 Jun 1636 in the parish of Saint-Lo in Rouen, Normandie, France, with her mother's sister Madeleine Évard serving as godmother and her mother's brother Robert Évard as godfather.[1][2] The priest made an error listing her given name as Madeleine after her godmother as was common, but all other records refer to her as Jeanne which was her mother's name as well.[1]
On 5 Jul 1652, Jeanne, at age 16, executed a marriage contract with Pierre Boucher before the notary Guillaume Audouart de Saint-Germain at Fort Saint-Louis in Québec City.[3] The marriage was celebrated 9 Jul 1652 by Father Joseph Poncet in the parish of Notre-Dame in Québec City in the presence of the groom's parents (Gaspard Boucher and Nicole Lemaire), the bride's parents, and Jean de Lauzon and Charles Legardeur de Tilly.[3][4]
Jeanne Crevier and Pierre Boucher had 15 children, including two sets of twins, all of whom lived at least until young adulthood,[5] which was very rare for the time.

Death and Burial
Jeanne Crevier, the widow of Pierre Boucher, died and was buried at Boucherville on the 11 Dec 1727.[6] Although her burial record says she was about 96 years old,[6] many other records, including her baptism and the census records, solidly establish that she was born in 1636, making her 91 years old when she died.

I have found, what I believe to be the burial of the first child of Christophe Crevier Sep 1637 at St Maclou. I'm not stating this with complete confidence however, because some of the entry is difficult to read and the name is not stated.
I am providing the information in hopes of corroboration from other members.
The part that is fairly clear is that it's a child of Christophe Crevier aged about 14 months. The only child that fits that description is Madeleine bap at St Lo June 1636.
