Jacques Parent

Notes:

“Originating in Mortagne to the Pole, Avoiding Pierre arrived at Canada in the current of the year 1650. Pierre Parent arrived at the country about 1650. He worked in the Notre-Dame Seigniory of the Angels with Beauport under the responsibility of his future father-in-law Jacques Badeau who was a sharecropper of the Jesuits. On July 16, 1652, Jean de Lauson granted titles of concession to ten inhabitants of the Castle-Richer. Among those Pierre Parent (1) appears who received a batch of 4 arpents (No 77) which is located close to the River-with-Dogs at the limit Is of Castle-Richer. It is also noted that these colonists were probably already installed on these grounds for a certain time to deserve these concessions. (Cf the chart of CHATEAU-RICHER IN 1680). After a stay of a few years to the Castle-Richer, and after having to marry in Quebec on February 9, 1654, Jeanne Badeau, Avoiding fixed itself at Beauport. It was to remain there for the remainder of its life, and y to raise his seventeen children. Man active and not embarrassed his ten fingers, it cumulated the occupations of farmer, stopping and merchant. As merchant, we see it, in 1670, to sell in Quebec lime and stone. As farmer, it succeeds in in the fourteen years space increasing of four, fifteen arpents of its ground of Beauport, which supposed a keen work. Indeed, whereas in 1667 it had only one quite modest concession of five arpents, we find it established in 1681 with the head of a farm of one hundred arpents, with 18 animals with horns and 24 ewes. But Avoiding Pierre did not stop his activities there. He was also to stop. It was even, seems it, its principal occupation since in the instruments, it was always mentioned as tel. This profession was rather lucrative besides, because not only the butcher made the trade of the meat, but it also sold at handsome prices with the tanners and the shoe-makers the calf or ox skins. Avoiding Pierre died on August 5, 1698, and was buried the following day in the cemetery of Beauport. Amusing detail. Avoiding Pierre who could not sign his name had adopted like marks personal a small axe `' chopper''. This mark, let us recognize it, did not miss originality. “ Source: Files of Quebec February 18, 2007 17:05: 05
