CHAPTER 18 Nicolas Patenostre The following text is taken from Our French Canadian Ancestors by Thomas J Laforest, Vol 28 - French translation by Google translate - corrections by Gaston Tardif .
Nicolas Patenostre, son of Nicolas and Adrienne Simon, said he was from the parish of Berville in Caux. As nobody has yet found his baptism certificate in the registers of old France, it is a little difficult to find this Berville, which today seems to be Berville-sur-Seine, canton of Doudeville. Arrondissement of Rouen, in the Seine-Maritime department in Normandy.
Nicolas was born around 1626. He learned the trade of a clothing merchant, which he apparently never practiced. He was 22 years old when he decided to come to New France. Everything implies that Nicolas, on his arrival in Quebec around 1650 or perhaps earlier, was in the service of Charles Sevestre, who was the clerk of the Quebec warehouse, private lieutenant of the Sénéchaussée and of the provost judge. This hypothesis is supposed by the following fact: Charles Sevestre was the first and main witness of Nicolas' marriage contract on October 25, 1651.
OWNER
On January 16, 1652, Nicolas had an appointment with the Jesuit father Jean Dequen, "Superior of the Residence of Saint Joseph in the cove of Sillery and trustee of the Indians of the said" Sillery ". The latter ceded land with two arpents on the river front and twenty deep, "starting after the plantation of fir trees on the coast ...". The neighbors named were Jean Lemire and Jean Noel. The cens and the rents would be paid only from the day of festivities of Saint Jean, December 27, 1653. Nicolas was obliged to build a house as soon as possible: however, he was not a man greedy of the ground. On November 29, 1656, his property located between Sillery and Cap Rouge passed into the hands of Gilles Pinel who sold it to Jean Routhier, on July 28, 1657.
On August 1, 1655, he took a six-year lease on land with an acre in front belonging to Guillaume Gauthier dit Lachesnaye, located on the Grande-Allée between Antoine Brassard and Denis Duquet. He agreed to build a barn. He became free from this obligation on April 23, 1658, while continuing to work at that place that year.
Nicolas continued on his way as a test landowner, without stopping. On March 10, 1658, he acquired another farm located in the seigneury of Notre-Dame-des-Anges, rear fiefdom of Grandpré de Ia Redoute, between Jean Normand and Nicolas Gendron dit Lafontaine. These two arpents of border land, with a depth of 30, faced the Saint-Charles river. During the same period, Jean Normand ceded to Patenostre a half-acre in front of his farm, the latter returning it to him on April 3, 1661. The house of Patenostre that Marcel Trudel raises, had been built, perhaps by error, on the half-arpent obtained from Normand. To avoid a lawsuit and litigation which could arise between them, the house would be moved at the expense of Patenostre, on its ground with two arpents in frontage.
THE ISLANDER
Nicolas Patenostre and his family finally went to settle once and for all on the island of Orleans. It was at Charny-Lirec, on the north side of the island, in the parish of Sainte-Famille, that they obtained their first concession on the island, from Charles de Lauzon, on February 2, 1662. This land with two arpents of frontage on the river and 132 Arpents on the surface and was next to Jean Royer and Jean Rabouin, the latter located within the limits of Saint-Pierre.
In the 1666 census, Nicolas Patenostre, fabric merchant, Marguerite Breton and their seven children lived on the island. The following year, they reported having 9 acre cultivated and 9 head of cattle in their stable. Their immediate neighbors were Jean Royer, husband of Marie Target, and Jean Foucher, the farmer of Pierre Niel.
Since April 14, 1668, Barthelemy Verreau had land with three arpents in front near the Patenostres. Verreau exchanged it during the same year with another Noel Rose property. This property, rented by Paul Vignault dit Laverdure, was sold to Patenostre on November 10, 1676 for 630 pounds. But, for lack of payment, it was taken by Jean Choret in 1679.
A La Rochelle merchant, Moise Petit, on behalf of Alexandre Petit, his father, also from La Rochelle, on November 22, 1675, just before the closure of shipping, sold a farm with three acres of facade to Nicolas Patenostre. about thirty deep, without buildings, located in the seigneury of Maure, near Louis Doré, censive by Jean Juchereau. Asking price: 300 tournament books, including 25 in cash. The remaining 275 pounds would bear interest at the royal rate. The signatories of this document in Quebec was Martin Geudon and the notary Pierre Duquet.
SOCIAL LIFE
The Patenostres did not make much noise among their compatriots. We know from the book of accounts of the Fabrique de Sainte-Anne du Petit-Cap that in June 1665, Patenostre's wife made a gift of two pounds of butter.
The name of Nicolas Patenostre was recorded in an act of the Sovereign Council, on March 1, 1664, as a favorable witness to the case of François Blondeau. Accused of losing a canoe.
In the orders of the intendant of New France, Pierre-Ceorges Roy noted the following fact on July 6, 1671: by order of the intendant Talon in the said Patenostre: give Lavigne, concierge of the prisons, two minots of wheat for the subsistence of prisoners. Jean Talon had he already done a service to Patenostre and was it justified to ask for these two minots of wheat? A simple question!
In short, Nicolas and Marguerite seemed to be kind-hearted, peaceful, generous and appreciated people.
THE PATERNOTERS
According to Larousse, Patenostres (Our Father) is in the pejorative sense, prayers said in a low voice and without specific intentions. It is with a strong voice and with admiration that we must present the eleven Patenostres of the second generation: Pierre, Jean, Charles, Pierre, Marie, Louis, Gervais, Nicolas, Marin, Marguerite and Elisabeth: three daughters and eight sons .
1. The eldest, Pierre Patenostre, godson of Pierre Duquet on January 22, 1653 in Quebec, confirmed on February 16, 1669, was no longer alive during the census of 1681.
2. Hubert Simon dit Lapointe, husband of Marie Vie, half-sister of Marguerite Breton, held Louis Patenostre at the baptismal font of Quebec on October 15, 1662. Louis remained single. He was confirmed in Quebec in 1681, when he was a servant at the Hôtel-Dieu. He was buried in Montreal on December 19, 1705.
3. The seventh child in the family, Gervais, was hired on July 31, 1688 by François Choret, sieur de Saint-Romain. Did Gervais go to the West in search of furs? If so, he appears to have returned to poor health. On September 20, 1689, he was hospitalized at the Hôtel-Dieu de Québec. He remained in this institution from 1691 until his death on January 27, 1693. A doctor today could perhaps say that he had tuberculosis.
4. The third baptism. recorded in the Sainte-Famille register on April 20, 1666, was for Nicolas Patenostre (2). Nicolas, confirmed in 1682, was the concessionaire of a land of the Nursing Sisters on April 16, 1684, quoted in Saguenay on April 25, 1688, and disappeared later in the mists of oblivion.
5. Three daughters of Patenostre were married and found families. Marie, wife of Claude Plante, mother of eleven children. Died in his native parish of Sainte-Famille on June 13, 1699.
6. Pierre Plante, son of Jean and Françoise Boucher, took Marguerite Patenostre as a wife on November 6, 1691. Seven children were placed in the family cradle in Saint-Jean on the island. Marguerite was buried at the age of 68 on September 4, 1737, in Saint-Jean.
7. As for the youngest, Elisabeth, goddaughter of Elisabeth Drugeon on September 18, 1672, she married in Montreal on November 27, 1696 with Jean Ferron, soldier, traveler, and shoemaker. Their nine children were born in Ville-Marie where their mother was buried on June 24, 1723.
8. Jean, Charles and Pierre Patenostre were married in Montreal and have good descendants. Jean, godson of Jean Pelletier in Sillery on August 10, 1654, accepted as wife Marie Brunet, born of Antoine and Françoise Moisan, on October 25, 1683. Father of two children, he married again on December 10, 1686 to Marie Robidoux, who added four branches to her family tree. He died in hospital and was buried in Montreal on June 25, 1699. The inventory of his property was drawn up the day after his burial. On November 14, 1687, Jean had received a release for excessive insults from Joseph Serran dit L'Espagnol.
9. Charles, baptized on May 21, 1656, found a rare pearl in Françoise Seguin, born of Francois and Jeanne Petit. Marriage in Boucherville on January 8, 1694. During the summer of his marriage, on September 19, Charles was hired as a traveler. Posterity: ten children. Burial on February 17, 1724 in Longueuil.
10. Godson of Pierre Voyer, governor, count of Argenson, on July 19, 1658, Pierre appeared in Lachine in 1681 as a servant of Francois Lenoir. Catherine Brunet, Marie's sister accepted him as husband on November 25, 1685. Ten children were also their inheritance. Pierre was buried in the Montreal cemetery on March 31, 1715. On October 29, 1685, he had bought land from Jean Quenet on the Côte Saint-Louis for 150 pounds paid in cash.
11. The last of the surviving sons, Marin, born February 15, 1668, remained faithful to his native island. On March 7, 1695, the heirs of Patenostre ceded all their rights to the two concessions on the island of Orleans. It was at Sainte-Anne du Petit-Cap that Marin went to find his wife, Marguerite Mercier, born of Julien and Marie Poulin, nuptial blessing on November 11, 1698. And in 1702, on February 25, Marin finally received a quitance by Guillaume Guyon, from the Beaupré coast, for the sale made by Barthelemy Verreau to his late father Nicolas, on November 10, 1676. Among his seven children, including the twins, three daughters became nuns: Marguerite, at the Hotel -God of Montreal; Marie-Josephe, Ursuline in Quebec; and Geneviève, a lay sister at the Hôtel-Dieu in the capital. In addition, it
THE LAST PRAYER
Nicolas declared that he was a linen merchant in the 1666 census. However, we found no evidence that the ancestor practiced this trade in New France. He was above all a man of the earth. Despite his unfinished dreams, he was forced to leave the family he adored, his children still minors, on Ash Wednesday February 13, 1670. Interment took place in Sainte-Famille, the following Saturday . Pastor Lamy has entered in the register that he was about 50 years old, identifies him as "Pierre Patinostre - died on Ash Wednesday, buried on February 15, 1670
As for Marguerite Breton, she continued the education of her children for several years. We know that she was alive during the marriage of her son Marin, heir to the paternal property, on November 11, 1698. Did she die during the great epidemic of 1702? Did she die in the Montreal area where the majority of her children had migrated? These are unanswered questions.
Nicolas and Marguerite, by founding a family, you helped find a country. Your hope in this world has been fulfilled, your mission accomplished. Today, it is we who remember you and express our well-deserved gratitude with more than a prayer to the Lord.
