ELISABETH BOURGET
Jacques Turgeon, son of the Percheron Charles and of Pasquiere
Lefebvre, was married at Beaumont on 26 November 1704, to Marie Jean,
widow of Pierre Bourget dit
Lavallee, mother of 4 children: Pierre, Elisabeth, Marie-Francoise
and Marie-Madeleine. Elisabeth Bourget was born on 28 June 1694 at
Beaumont where she was baptized
two days later by the Recollet Joseph Remy and held at the baptismal
font by Jean Cecile and Elisabeth Drouet.
How to explain the meeting between Charles Chandonnet and Elisabeth
Bourget in 1712 at Quebec? The 18-year old orphan was perhaps working
as a maid for a family in
the capital. At the home of Jean Giron? On 10 June, Elisabeth and
Charles required the services of the notary Jean-Etienne Dubreuil to
settle the terms of their marriage
contract. At the time of this official ceremony, Elisabeth was
called Isabelle. And here are the elegant witnesses participating in
the celebration on this auspicious Friday:
Chevalier Charles Aloigny, soldier from Saint-Louis, dame Genevieve
Macard, his wife; Louis Deschamps de Bois Hebert; Nicolas Tramerit,
Sieur de Lafosse; Denis
Caffier, Sergeant; Jean Giron, bourgeois, and Charlotte de Chavigny,
his wife in a second marriage.
Charles endowed his bride "with a prefixed dowry of 1,000 livres".
The promised and reciprocal dowry would be 600 livres. This was
regal. Elisabeth's step-father hurried
to give his step-daughter 30 minots of wheat and 10 cords of
firewood. Elisabeth's wedding basket was overflowing! The action took
place on Rue Couillard, at the house
of Jean Giron. All these fine people, even the witness Louis
Chalifour, signed before the apprehensive Isabelle. She did not know
how to write.
On Monday, 13 June 1712, there was the celebration of the wedding at
the church of Notre-Dame. In those days a soldier had to obtain
permission to marry. Thus, vicar
general Des Maizerets had delivered a formal decree permitting this
marriage, as had also Governor Philippe de Rigaud de Vaudreuil.
Pastor Thomas Thiboult blessed this
union in the presence of the witnesses recorded in the registry:
Nicolas Framery (Tramerit) dit Lafosse, a Champenois friend of
Charles; Denis Caffier dit Laplinterie, a
sergeant in the company d'Eagly.
In the census of Quebec, in 1716, the Chandonnets lived on Rue
Couillard in the Upper Town, between neighbors Jean Badeau and Thomas
Lemarier. The census taker
recorded the age of Charles Chandonnet dit Leveille at 42 years.
Already 2 children were living at their home: Charlotte and Marie-
Marthe.
Such was the beginning of the Chandonnet family in the heart of the
city of Quebec, at the beginning of the eighteenth century.

Elisabeth Bourget was born on 28 June 1694 at Beaumont where she was baptized two days later by the Recollet Joseph Remy and held at the baptismal font by Jean Cecile and Elisabeth Drouet (Editor's note: I read the name as Leroy, possibly Drouet is a dit name?).
