Jacques Moussault was baptized on 23 Sept 1627 in Azay-le-Rideau (St-Symphorien), the son of Jacques Moussault and Jacquine Janot.[2]

Jacques Mousseau came to the colony as part of the Grande Recrue of 1653, the first large recruitment of people to come to Montréal island.[3][4]

He was a long sawyer ("scieur de long") by profession.

At Montréal, he received a land grant from Governor Maisonneuve on 20 August 1655. By the time of his marriage he had acquired the dit name Laviolette.

I was looking at the image of his baptism (source 2), and the surname looks like it is spelled Mousseault or something like that. Should that be his Last Name At Birth?

The following photograph of a plaque (see link below) indicates that they left France on 20 July 1653, and arrived in Quebec on 22 September 1653. But they didn't arrive at Ville-Marie (Montreal) until 16 November 1653.

According to my notes, he came to the New World on the ship "St. Nicolas de Nantes", arriving at Montreal, Quebec, on 16 November 1653.

UPDATE: The following source says that they arrived in Quebec on 22 September 1653, so I guess that date is more accurate: http://www.migrations.fr/lesaintnicolas1653.htm
