      '''Michel Lemay'''
      Michel Lemay was born around 1660, in the general region of Trois-Rivières, specific location unknown, the 1666 census of Trois-Rivières actually englobed all surrounding areas, as is more clearly laid out in 1667 census.[https://www.genealogiequebec.com/membership/voir.aspx?id=H%3a%2fCollections+diverses%2f19+-+Dictionnaire+Jett%c3%a9%2fDictionnaire+g%c3%a9n%c3%a9alogique+des+familles+du+Qu%c3%a9bec%2fL%2fLe%2fLe+Dictionnaire+Jett%c3%a9+Page+0705.jpg Dictionnaire généalogique des familles du Québec des origines à 1730, René Jetté, avec la collaboration du PRDH, 1983, Presses de l'Université de Montréal, pg 705 (membership IGD)]

      Michel Lemay married Catherine Jobin on 22 April 1686 in Champlain.[https://www.genealogiequebec.com/Membership/LAFRANCE/acte/6996 Marriage IGD]
      '''Known children of the marriage''' they appear to have been established in Lotbinière throughout their married life.

      '''Note''' Jetté lists a daughter, Marguerite, married with François Hamel in 1721. This is an error, there is no such daughter named among the children when tutors are called for in 1712. He cites a marriage contract of 20 May 1721 before notary Dehornay dit Laneuville. The wife of François Hamel, Marguerite Lemay, died in 1773, the record giving her 75 years of age, which would have clearly made her a minor in 1712.
      Ratification par Michel Lemay d’un acte de Charles Dutau, son tuteur (17 octobre 1686). Notaire Louis Demeromont Vol XXVI pg 125 #6

      '''Death'''
      Jetté puts his death before the inventory dated 25 March 1713 done by the notary Jacques Dehornay dit Laneuville, but a request from his brothers Joseph and Pierre Lemay to get a tutor and subrogate tutor named for his minor children shows he died earlier, as did his wife. The request states that Catherine Jobin died ''le jour d'hyer 17ième du présent mois de juillet 1712'', ie yesterday 17th July 1712, and that Michel was deceased ''depuis 15 jours'' 15 days ago, who leave 8 minor children, the eldest aged 23 (majority was 25). It further states that Michel was ''habitant et capitaine de la coste du dit lieu'' (Lotbinière) inhabitant and captain of the coast of said place (named earlier in request as Lotbinière).[http://numerique.banq.qc.ca/patrimoine/archives/52327/3346702 Requête d'Ignace et de Pierre Lemay, frères, habitants de Lotbinière, au lieutenant gfrère Michel Lemay et de sa femme, Catherine Jobin, tous deux décédés, suivie de la nomination d'Ignace Lemay comme tuteur et de Jacques Jobin comme subrogé tuteur pour lesdits enfants mineurs (03Q,TL1,S11,SS2,D320) ORIGINAL] So, since the request (undated itself) states his wife died yesterday the 17th, then the request was done on the 18th, and Michel died 15 days before, ie the 3rd. The request was approved on the 19th of July 1712, and an assembly of family and friends was done on the 19th of July 1712. The children concerned are named as follows: Michel, ~ 23; Joseph, 21; Marie Catherine, 18; Louis, 16; Jean Baptiste, 14; Marie Agnès, ~ 11; Antoine, 9; François, 4. The persons elected to be tutor and subrogate were respectively Ignace Lemay, paternal uncle, and Jacques Jobin, maternal uncle.
