A Rule Breaker
- For Clément there was a separate peace of sorts. He had come to be acquainted with the beautiful daughter of Pierre Roy, a farmer, and his wife Catherine Ducharme of Saint-Lambert. A man of Clément's rank, by custom and by command of the king, was to marry a woman of some social standing whose family could provide a reasonable dowry. Though in Canada individuals could climb the social ladder more readily than in Europe, there still existed a line separating the classes. And the lovely Marie Roy stood on the other side of it. It seemed futile to ask for permission since her family could not produce the dowry. With peace now secured, at least for a time, Clement's next move was to defy the rules of his society to marry the woman he loved. He would pay a price for his defiance.
- A Rule Breaker [3]
- Note The scandal was not that he married beneath him but that he married without permission of his superior officer. Soldiers of whatever rank were not free to marry while in service without getting such.

Roy-5302 and Roy-339 appear to represent the same person because: Same name, same birth year (Roy-339 has more detail), same spouse (merge already proposed), same marriage date and place. Same death date Several children need to be merged.
