   Lors du recensement de La Roque en 1752, Charles Roy et Marguerite Lejeune son épouse étaient à la Baie des Espagnols, tout près de Pierre Benoit et d'Anne-Marie Gaudet. Nous croyons que la proximité de ces deux familles laisse entendre qu'il existait un lieu étroit entre elles. Nous présumons que l'épouse de Charles Roy était la fille du premier lit d'Anne-Marie Gaudet.
