Biography
Catherine, the daughter of Joseph Montpetit-Poitevin and Marie-Joseph St-Amand André, was born 13 May 1797 in Les Cèdres and baptized the following day. The Saint Joseph de Soulanges parish records identify her as "Catherine née d'hier du légitime mariage de Joseph Montpetit et de Josephte André ditte St Amand ses pere et mere cultivateurs de cette paroisse. Le parrain a été Joseph André dit St Amand et la marin Catherine Châteloy."[1]
On 17 February 1817, at the age of 20, she married Jean Baptiste Lalonde. The Saint Joseph parish register states that the marriage was between "Jean Baptiste Lalonde cultivateur fils majeur de Jean Baptiste Lalonde cultivateur en cette paroisse, et de Josephte Quenel ses pere et mere d'une part, et Catherine Montpetit fille mineure de Joseph Montpetit, capitaine de milice en cette paroisse et de défunte Josephte André dite St Amand ses pere et mere d'autre part; . . . . en présence de Jean Baptiste Lalonde pere de l'époux, de Pierre Denis ami, et de Joseph Montpetit pere de l'épouse, de François Métot, et de plusieurs autres."[2]
Catherine died 6 November 1867 and was buried two days later. The Saint Zotique parish records states that she was "Catherine Montpetit, épouse de Jean Baptiste Lalonde cultivateur, décédée avant hier agée de soixante treize ans--présents Louis Lalonde et François Prieur."[3]
