Back to Doreen's story:

The oldest inhabitants of Trois Rivieres

Ancestors of Marie Renee Lepelle were two of the oldest inhabitants of Trois Rivieres in 1634 (History of French Canadians by Benjamin Sulte 1608-1880).

Giullaume ISABEL arrived in Trois Rivieres in 1634, where he occupied a piece of land.  Two years later, he obtained a second parcel of land, in 1648, he married Catherine DODIER and in 1652, he was killed by the Iroquois, leaving two daughters. One daughter later married the father of Marie Renee LEPELLE. Her name was Jean ISABEL.

Sebastian DODIER, carpenter, lived in Trois Rivieres in 1634 also.  His house stood in the actual Place d-Armes.  His wife, Marie BONHOMME, was first mentioned here in 1645 and appears to have been a kinswoman of Gaspard BOUCHER.  Records show one child of this marriage; Catherine DODIER, born 1628, married (1) Guillame ISABEL in 1648, (2) Pierre Le Pele dit Lahaie in 1652; died 16 April 1673.

In her second marriage, Catherine had nine children: Francois (m), Francoise (f), Claude (m), Joseph (m), Pierre (m), Marie (f), Catherine (f), Perrinne (f), Marie Madeleene (f).

Jean LEPELLE sieur DES MARETS (in some records, DESMAREST), was born in 1641.  In 1667, he married Jeanne ISABEL and died at Champlain 17 June 1708. Their children are as follows:

1.  Francoise born 21 October 1667 at Trois Rivieres, married Martin CASAUBON (Sergent) 14 February 1689.

2.  Antoine born 1669, married Barbe GODFROY 20 June 1700, died February 1734.

3.  Pierre born 1671.

4.  Francois born 1674.

5.  Marie-Renee born 1678, married ANTOINE DESROSIERS II dit LAFRENIERE 26 November 1696.

6.  Catherine born 27 January 1682; married Bernard BRISSET 1 February 1712.

7.  Alexis born 26 December 1684; married Jeanne BIGOT 6 July 1710.
