| Father | **Jean Chaillé3 | |
| Mother | **Jeanne Bouillant3 |
| Birth | 1641 | Mathurin was born in 1641
at StRadegonde, Vineuse, Maillezays Poitou, France. This place is also
given as Ste-Radégonde de la Ville Meure, Luçon, France.1,2
May be the same place just different names. Since he does
appear on the 1666 census of Beauport/Beaupré as 30 years old he
may have been born as early as 1636 |
| Marriage | 11 January 1665 | Mathurin Chaillé married Catherine Barré, daughter of Jacques Barre and Françoise Sauvritte, 11 January 1665 in Quebec, Quebec, Canada. Catherine Barré is listed as one of the Fille du Roi.4,3,5
Claude Mathurin was a new arrival in New France also. At
the time, there were several seigneurs recruiting settlers and often
they or their agents would simply show up at the docks, as an immigrant
ship made it's arrival, and convince as many as possible to head in
their direction. As it was, Beauport/ Beaupré was already
well established and close to the Quebec Port; so the newlyweds chose
that area to build their first home. On the 1666 census of Beaupré Mathurin is listed as Claude Chaillé 30 years old, with wife, Catherine and son Claude. After the death of Robert Giffard, the first lord of Beaupré, the land became his son's. The first Lord of Beauport; Robert Giffard; was always very generous and easygoing, but when he died in 1668, and his land passed to his son Joseph, things would change dramatically for the settlers. At the time, many had fallen behind in their lease payments and obligations, and the young Giffard would prove to be nothing like his father. On June 18,1668, eighteen inhabitants of Beauport had their concessions revoked. The deposed tenants protested to the Lord's Council, but the eviction was upheld, and the Council further ruled: - The inhabitants will be reduced to one acre each. - The fences will be taken off and rebuilt according to the map drawn by Monseur Bouteroue, Intendent - The buildings near the post will be pulled down or transferred from the locations by the owners at the owners expense. - The new owners will refund the former owners for any clearing that has been done on the land of the former owners. This would result in hardship and civil unrest, as these families now had only one acre of land to sustain their families. Some bounced back, but for others it spelled financial ruin. 6 They moved from Beaupré to Sillery and ultimately to Quebec city |
