Jeanne was born around 1614 in Gallardon, Chartres diocese, Beauce, France. (53 on 1667 census)

She died in 1689.[7]

The inscription on the plaque of the monument for Nicolas Pelletier translates as follows:

In Memory Of Nicolas Peltier and Jeanne de Vousy The First Pelletier Family To Settle In New France Originally from the Parish of Saint-Pierre & Saint-Paul of Gallardon in Beauce (France), they arrived in this country on June 11, 1636, accompanied by their sons Jean and François. Living first in Québec City, they settled on the côte Saint-François-Xavier in Sillery about 1645. Governor Charles Huault de Montmagny granted to master-carpenter Nicolas Peltier 50 acres of land on September 12, 1645. Father Jean de Quen, Superior of the Company of Jesus (Jesuits) in New France, granted him another 50 acres in May 1659. This monument rests on a part of the lands bestowed upon the Peltier family. [8]

Notes

Jeanne's father Barthélemy De Voizy and Jeanne's mother Jeanne Gardony were detached from the profile, there is no evidence linking them to her, the baptism previously cited in 1612 bears different names.

Michel Pelletier sieur de la Prade has been detached from Nicolas Peltier and Jeanne DeVouzy as parents, he is not their son, they come from Perche and he comes from Paris in Île-de-France.

L’ADN mitochondrial (ADNmt)
Plus récemment, j’ai appris que mes résultats concordaient avec ceux d’autres Américains et aussi deux métis. Nous avons une ancêtre commune, Jeanne de Voisy (aussi écrit De Vouzy et même Rousy) qui a épousé Nicolas Pelletier à Chartres, France, en 1632. . . . Comme les Européennes étaient alors très rares, une trentaine d’années avant l’arrivée des premières Filles du Roy, deux garçons de Jeanne ont plutôt mariés des Autochtones.

I have read all the above notes and I'm confused as to her parents names. They are still listed above but under the "notes" section is says the names were being detached. And then further down the page, near the bottom of the list of sources, it reads "christening record 1612 Image 172 of 248. This parish register provides the correct information for this person's christening. It also states her parents."

So, did the christening record confirm that Barthelemy de Voisy and Jeanne Gardony are her parents? Thanks.

hi JoAnne,

The baptism in fact does not confirm who her parents were, since no marriage record has been found for her. The names are also problematic on the baptism, specifically the supposed father's name. Current link to the disputed act is now in notes.

Thank you so much. Once again you came to my rescue.  :-) You are such an asset to the Quebecois Project!
DeRoussy-3 and De Voisy-6 appear to represent the same person because: same person, mother, father, dates and husbands

De Vouzy-4 and DeVouzy-5 appear to represent the same person because: Same death date. the last name is probably the same.
Roussy DeVoisey-1 and DeVouzy-5 appear to represent the same person because: same woman, deteched from disproven parents, her parents are NOT known.

De Voisy aka Devolssy-1 and Roussy DeVoisey-1 appear to represent the same person because: found in the unconnected orphans, same person

detached parents as no evidence for them at all, the baptism in 1612 does not appear to be in the right name at all.
posted by Danielle Liard
The parents do not appear to be detached in the profile though. The links to them still exist on this profile page as of March 22, 2021.

thank Joseph, someone added them after they had been removed, am going to get this profile under project management and PPP to avert repetition

Peltier-941 and DeVouzy-5 appear to represent the same person because: Same person - Peltier is the husband's name.
posted by Gaston Tardif
"Peltier" is her husband's name. Her's is "DeVoizy" and other similar spellings. See sources. A merge of Peltier-941 is then necessary into DeVousy-5.
