Hi, I am posting the notes that I have for some of my pioneer ancestors, in hopes that they may be of interest to some of you that are doing research on your ancestors. Enjoy, Janet
Descendants of Jean-Baptiste Godefroy, Sieur DeLinctot
Generation No. 1
1. Jean-Baptiste2 Godefroy, Sieur DeLinctot (Pierre1 Godefroy/Godfrey) was born about 1608 in Le Havre, Rouen, Normandie, France, and died 26 Mar 1678 in Trois Rivières, St. Maurice, QC. He married Marie-Jeanne Leneuf 15 Dec 1636 in Unknown, QC, daughter of Mathieu Leneuf and Jeanne Marchand-dit-DeLaCelloniere-DeLaRoque. She was born about 1612 in Caen, Normandie, France, and died 27 Oct 1688 in Trois Rivières, St. Maurice, QC.
Notes for Jean-Baptiste Godefroy, Sieur DeLinctot:
This name Godefroy, and is among the oldest in Normandie.
Jean Baptiste Godefroy arrived in New France with his brother Thomas about 1626 under the government of Champlain. He was an interpreter and fur merchant and lived with the Herons between 1629-1632, during the occupation of the Kirkes.
His brother Thomas Godefroy de Normanville had an uncommon ability to learn the native languages and was a brilliant and impressive interpreter. He spoke Iroquois, Huron and Algonquin fluently. Devoted to the work of the missionaries, he presided over prayer meetings and served in the administration of baptisms. Endowed with remarkable physical strength and courage, he escaped the Iroquois on two occasions. But the day came when their shrewdness got the best of him. In May 1652, the Iroquois stalked Thomas Godefroy de Normanville in the villages and killed him in their fashion. Also killed with him was the missionary, Jacques Buteux.
Jean Baptiste established himself at Trois Rivières in 1634.
His marriage is dated as December 15, 1636, and is said to be the oldest one recorded in Canada. His wife was Marie Le Neuf de Herison.
He was given concession of the seigniory of Linctot (near Becancour) on 1 Nov 1637 and the concession of the seigniory of Île Marie in the petit river Godefroy area on 16 Jan 1657
In the 1666 census of the Trois Rivières area by Talon, he is listed as a habitant and a squire and is able to sign. His wife Marie LeNeuf is listed as a mid-wife and is able to sign also. At that time, there were 5 sons and a daughter living in the household between the ages of 21 to 8 and 6 domestic workers. I have recorded their son Peirre as having died before 1666, because he is not included in the census.
Their sons became kindred and ennobled in 1667, and received the Seigneurie de Linctot and the fiefs de Normandville, de Vieux Pont, de Roguetiliade, de Tonnancour, de Marboeuf. A sister of Jean Baptiste, named, Anne was married to Jaques Testard de Montigny. This was not the same Jacques Testard de Fortville that married Catherine Chesne, of Detroit.
Jean received a letter of "Nobility" in Sept. 1668. This letter was never registered.
Notes for Marie-Jeanne Leneuf:
She was 4 years old when she arrived in New France with her widowed mother and brother Micheal.
Marie and Jean were the very first couple to be married in this little chapel in Trois Rivières. Marie was a "sage femme" (a mid wife).
Children of Jean-Baptiste Godefroy and Marie-Jeanne Leneuf are:
2 i. Michel3 Godefroy, Sieur DeLinctot, born 21 Oct 1637 in Trois Rivières, St. Maurice, QC; died 17 May 1709 in Trois Rivières, St. Maurice, QC. He married Perrine Picote-de-Belestre, (Francois&P.Lambert) 02 Sep 1664 in Montréal, QC; born about 1644 in St. André des Arts de Paris, France; died 19 Dec 1723 in Trois Rivières, St. Maurice, QC.
Notes for Michel Godefroy, Sieur DeLinctot:
He was baptized 21 October 1637 in Trois Rivières, the first of eleven children of Jean Godefroy, Sieur de Linctot and Marie Leneuf, who were married 15 December 1636 at Trois Rivières (contract). He is the first white child to be born and baptized at Trois Rivières. Michel's father is the son of Pierre Godefroy and Perrette Cavelier from La Trinité-du-Mont (near Lillebonne, near Le Havre, archdiocese of Rouen), Normandie. On 22 June 1668, Michel was given the fief of Dutort by his uncle Michel Leneuf, Sieur du Hérisson. On 08 June 1685, he registered the letters of nobility given to his father in September 1668. Michel had been made an ensign in 1667, upon the recommendation of Alexandre Prouville de Tracy. He was promoted to capitaine reformé (half-pay captain) on 17 March 1687, garde-marine on 01 January 1694, full captain on 20 April 1700 and major of the garrison at Trois Rivières on 01 April 1702.
Michel Godefroy, Sieur de Linctot died 17 May 1709 and was buried the next day at Trois Rivières. His large family apparently drained Michel's finances, and Perrine was forced to seek financial assistance from the state.
There is a Rene Godefroy (1675-1748), Monsieur de Linctot, listed as being a voyager West in the Detroit May 27, 1701 journals. This was Michel's son.
Notes for Perrine Picote-de-Belestre, (Francois&P.Lambert):
"Filles à Marier", page 250, Perrine Picoté de Belestre was born about 1643 on the Rue Saint-André-des-Arts in the parish of the same name in Paris, the daughter of squire François Picoté, Sieur de Belestre and first wife Perrine Lambert. Her father was King's councilor and doctor in ordinary to the King.'67 After her mother's death Perrine was recruited to go to Canada in 1659 by Jeanne Mance. She came to Canada with her brother Pierre aboard the Saint-André, arriving at Montréal in late October, having spent several weeks in Québec recovering from the crossing, along with Jeanne Mance and fellow "Filles à Marier", Catherine Gauchet de Belleville. Before departing from La Rochelle, Perrine and Catherine Gauchet de Belleville lodged at an inn owned by merchant Jacques Mousnier, who also owned the Saint-André. Perrine entered the convent of the Hôtel Dieu de Montréal (the order of Hospitalières de Saint-Joseph), but did not remain in the order.
On 02 September 1664, Perrine married Michel Godefroy, Sieur de Linctot at Trois Rivières. Though no marriage contract has been found for this couple, it is known that both spouses could sign their names.
Perrine's father died after she came to Canada. He died 29 February 1680 and was buried the next day, having named second wife Marguerite Péricard executrix of his will, dated 21 December 1678.
Perrine Picoté de Belestre was buried 19 December 1723 at Trois Rivières.

Notes for Marie-Josephe Duguay-dit-Duplessis:
At PRDH her dit surname Duplessis has been spelt 49 different ways before 1800 and the Duplessis form was used the most (1352 times). That is why PRDH choose to use this spelling. I found her children's baptismal information with their mother's name spelt Duplacis, Placy, Placis etc. These are some of the names that were used on her children baptismal certificates. On her marriage information it is spelt Duplacid.
