Jean Nicolet
by
Jerrold C. Rodesch
Reprinted with permission from Voyageur, the Historical review of Brown County and Northeast Wisconsin, Spring, 1984, pp. 4-8
Northeast of the city of Green Bay, on the limestone ridge overlooking the waters of the bay, stands a statue of Jean Nicolet. It commemorates the coming of Europeans to Green Bay and to Wisconsin. The historical marker there declares that "In 1634 Jean Nicolet, emissary of Governor Samuel de Champlain of New France, landed at Red Banks on the shore of Green Bay about a mile west of here."
Possibly. Among the possibilities--other sites have been claimed--this is perhaps the most probable. 1 If not proven, it is a plausible version of the Nicolet voyage. If the facts are uncertain, Nicolet and Red Banks nonetheless stand at the beginning of the region's history. They are fixed in tradition and elaborated in picture and story. Nicolet's exploit has been the occasion for periodic celebration as well as for his bronze monument.
We know a fair amount about Jean Nicolet. We know comparatively little about the journey that gave him enough significance to be a public memory, to be a part of history. Even so, in the textbook of Wisconsin history read currently by the schoolchildren of Green Bay, Nicolet is the dominant figure. 2 There is no one, it seems, of greater importance, at least judging by the space devoted to him. He is recalled at greater length than, for example, Robert LaFollette Sr., about whom and about whose historical role we know a great deal more than about Nicolet. But LaFollette is perhaps a rather complicated figure for children and perhaps a little too close to us to be so simple a character and so purely heroic an image as Nicolet. And LaFollette was not present at the beginning.
The beginning of what? Nicolet, like others we see as founders or initiators, has come to stimulate ideas about what we are, or ought to be, or could be. Standing at the beginning, he invites those who consider him to ponder the present that has come down to us out of the past that he began.
On August 9, 1934, at a commemoration of Nicolet's achievement, President Franklin Roosevelt spoke at Green Bay and placed Nicolet in history as the first of "the men and women who established civilization in Wisconsin and in the Northwest," at the commencement, Roosevelt made clear, of the United States of America. He attached Nicolet to the theme of his speech on "A Wider Opportunity for the Average Man." He began with Nicolet to recount a conventional version of the heroic making of America, the pioneer's "fight against Nature," and "fight for his rights." The Europeans who came here, the President explained, "sought a life that was less fettered by the exploitation of selfish men. They shared a deep purpose to rid themselves forever of the jealousies, the prejudices, the intrigues and the violence, whether internal or external, that disturbed their lives on the other side of the ocean." The pioneering spirit has carried on to the present, even to the New Deal. Roosevelt was not yet fully a year and a half in office. He was slightly interested in Nicolet's history but very interested in furthering the programs of his administration, and as a good politician he seized the occasion to invoke Nicolet's name in the struggle against "selfish private interest." Roosevelt did not entitle his speech "From Nicolet to the New Deal," but he might as well have done so. It was a very peculiar historical vision. 3
Nicolet was the subject of civic oratory at other times as well. Perhaps the most florid exhibition occurred at the dedication of a tablet in Michigan in July 1915 commemorating Nicolet's passage through the Straights of Mackinac in 1634. The tablet describes him as "the first white man to enter Michigan and the Old Northwest." A United States Congressman repeated these words and called the feat "truly memorable." A United States Senator spoke of Nicolet's "deeds of valor and knightly heroism." A judge said that Nicolet was an "intrepid explorer and Christian hero." Others found him to be "a noble character," a "fearless and heroic pioneer of Christian civilization. " The most remarkable of the speeches, however, was the "Historical Address" provided by Thomas J. Campbell, S.J. The Jesuit contemporaries of Nicolet had regarded him very highly and it is their reports that provide the historical record we have of him. Father Campbell was no less an admirer of Nicolet. His admiration was founded on a rather different historical estimation than that of the political celebrants. "Jean Nicolet," he said, "was not a great explorer, like Champlain...[nor] picturesque Governor, like Frontenac,...daring fighter, like Iberville,...successful discoverer, like Marquette,...martyr, like his friends Brébeuf, Jogues, Daniel, Gamier, and Garreau..., he was simply an employe in a trading post; an Indian interpreter...." 4
A pretty humble character, it seemed. One can imagine Campbell's audience in some discomfort at these words, but not so much discomfort as some of them might have felt when the priest got to his point. For Campbell, like President Roosevelt later, found in Nicolet's fame an opportunity to attack issues in his own time. Unlike President Roosevelt, Campbell was genuinely drawn to the history of Nicolet because it was from that history that Campbell made his argument. The true memory of Nicolet, in Campbell's assertion, is nothing less than a "doctrine." "It is a protest against a philosophical theory prevalent at the present day, which makes man the creature as well as the victim of his environment--a theory which assails the dignity of human nature, by robbing it of its freedom of will...." Nicolet's achievement was a personal and moral triumph over the wilderness, a wilderness that Father Campbell saw as a kind of equivalent to modernist ethics, a modern world dominated by scientific materialism. As Nicolet kept himself morally intact in the woods, living among the faithless, so modern men might survive spiritually whole in the evil circumstances of our century. "Nicolet," Campbell wrote, "is not only the first white man who appeared in what is now the state of Michigan, but he is a man whose virtues may be proposed to the youth of the country as an example and an inspiration." Nicolet "passed the longest and most ambitious period of his life amid surroundings that were calculated to tear out of his heart not only every noble aspiration, but every recollection of Christianity and civilization." Nicolet "achieved a greater glory than the one which this tablet specifically commemorates...." Being a "first white man" is less to be admired than confronting a challenge, the choice of alternatives in North America, and choosing rightly. 5
A more conventional celebration of Nicolet should be noted. When the Brown County Historical Society enacted a set of vignettes for the 1942 banquet of the Wisconsin State Historical Society convention held in Green Bay, Nicolet appeared to explain his historical role as the agent of a French king "eager for territorial expansion." of "Holy Mother Church," bent on salvation of the "heathen," and of that "most profitable business," the fur trade. The Green Bay gentleman portraying Nicolet in this pageant declared that "men of my time lived dangerously, because the rewards of success were great. 6
Perhaps they were, for some. Nicolet's rewards were modest. His motives were possibly not simple enough to be contained in a twentieth century after dinner entertainment or a politician's speech. And a twentieth century Jesuit railing against modern times had a point that must not be overlooked if we want a glimpse of the real Nicolet.
Nicolet was not, in fact, a figure on the scale of Champlain, Iberville, or Marquette. His travel to the region of the western lakes, whatever precedent he set in reaching Wisconsin, or wherever, had no known consequences. It was not until 1852 that historical investigators even noticed Nicolet's achievement in reaching Wisconsin. And only in the works of Benjamin Sulté (1873, 1876) and in Consul W. Butterfield's History of the Discovery of the North-West by John Nicolet (1881) did the story of Nicolet's landing at Green Bay and excursion up the Fox River in 1634 take the form that is celebrated, if not entirely accepted, today. It took over two centuries for Nicolet to attain his status as the first European in Wisconsin. He emerged late into Wisconsin's history and was accepted finally as a kind of hero by a state and a people that had long left behind the world and aspirations that Nicolet represented. 7
He was born in France, probably at Cherbourg, and arrived in Canada in 1618 when he was about 19 or 20 years old. 8 He was employed by the Company of New France (the chartered "Company of One Hundred Associates" which held the rights to French possessions in North America at the time), first as an Indian agent and later as a clerk. During his long residences among several Indian tribes he became proficient in the Algonkin and Huron languages, an effective interpreter and an able representative of French interests. He also commanded respect among the native peoples, serving as mediator among them as well as between them and French secular and clerical authorities. In this capacity as mediator and agent of the government of New France, he was commissioned to travel to the "people of the sea," to meet with them and arrange a peace between them and the Hurons.
The identification of the Winnebago as the "people of the sea" by John G. Shea in 1852 forms the basis for claiming that Nicolet came to the Green Bay area, for the Winnebago were in 1634 probably resident on the shores of the bay.9The rather vague geographical references in the available accounts of Nicolet's voyage can be imaginatively interpreted as compatible with a visit to Green Bay, and the list of tribes Nicolet met on the way also supports such an interpretation, at least given the location of those tribes later in the seventeenth century. That the French designated the Winnebago as the "people of the sea" is reasonably certain. That Nicolet reached them in 1634 when they may have been at Green Bay is the necessary foundation of the event now acclaimed.
We lack firm and detailed evidence to support more than the plausible inferences that form the present story of Nicolet's journey. His own written report has been lost. Not until 1640 does the Jesuit priest Paul Le Jeune give the earliest account we have. Another version by Father Barthélemy Vimont in 1642 added information. 10 The Jesuits, it seems, possessed Nicolet's written memoir and knew him. Even with this source, however, they are imprecise about the new lands Nicolet visited and they even fail to say when it was that he undertook the journey. The date of 1634 is an inference along with the other particulars that make up the deceptively confident school book version of the story. 11
For example, there is no direct evidence that Nicolet was seeking contact with Asia. The "grand robe of China damask, all strewn with flowers and birds of many colors" he wore would have been, along with his thundering pistols, impressive enough to establish his claims to special authority even if he were merely meeting with the Winnebago on the peace mission for which a record exists. There is no particular logic in an attempt to disguise himself as Chinese. The Asian connection like so much else in the story is speculative and inferential. And also plausible. We know the French sought a route to Asia. We know that Champlain, who commissioned Nicolet's service, was especially hopeful about finding a way to Asia. And there is even a French report of 1612 that specifies a journey of about 300 leagues west of the St. Lawrence settlements "to reach China." 12 That same very general figure of "three hundred leagues Westward" (this time from the Hurons) is the most precise geographical datum offered in the Jesuit report of Nicolet's trip. The distance west of the Hurons is the location of the "people of the sea."
That the French called the Winnebago the "people of the sea" supports the claim that Nicolet was charged to explore the way to Asia. The French name for the Winnebago can only be seen as a hopeful interpretation of the Algonkian designation of these people as "Winnebago," or people of the bad-smelling or fetid water. Such waters, the French seem to have eagerly concluded, would be salt waters and hence the sea lying between America and Asia. 13 Nicolet's mission to bring peace between Huron and Winnebago, securing a stability important for the fur trade and missionary work, is a sufficient motive for his voyage. By inference it is highly believable that he also carried the grander dream of Asia with him.
We have altogether then a plausible if not proven story of Nicolet as the first European in Wisconsin, possibly even at Green Bay. We need to be cautious about the details. And the romance that surrounds Nicolet as explorer probably exists out of a need to invest our beginnings with some of the grandeur and dignity that our orators have employed. Nicolet should seem a proper start for the society we have become. The romance in fact conceals how clouded our knowledge is of his actual achievement. And it draws attention away from some things that we do know about him that suggest a more complex and ambiguous historical significance for him.
Nicolet died young in 1642. He drowned in the St. Lawrence when his boat overturned in a storm. Among his last words was the announcement that he did not know how to swim. We have the account of his death again from the Jesuit missionary reports that chronicled much of his life in addition to his voyage of exploration. He appears frequently in these reports, always in the most complimentary terms. They speak of his "kindness and fidelity," his virtue and respectability, his devotion to the missionary work of the Jesuits, his loyalty and self sacrifice. "He was equally and singularly loved" by both "the French and the Savages." His efforts "for the weal and salvation of the Savages...recall Apostolic times, and inspire even the most fervent Religious with a desire to imitate him.'' 14
Father Campbell, at Mackinac in 1915, was correct in claiming Nicolet for a Christian civilization that stood in defiance of the wilderness of seventeenth century America as much as it stands against the secular world of this century. Campbell was no less correct in contrasting Nicolet to the "dastardly character of young Brûlé and Marsolet," Nicolet's fellow recruits in the Indian service of the Company of New France. Brûlé and Marsolet mark the path that Nicolet did not take. They succumbed to the temptations of the wilderness and the willful ambition and individualism that grew out of the freedom from European constraint. Champlain himself denounced them as being "without religion, eating meat on Friday and Saturday," as giving themselves over to "unrestrained debauchery and libertinism," and of finally having "betrayed their King and sold their country." Quebec fell to the English in 1629. Brûlé and Marsolet stayed and collaborated with the enemy. Nicolet fled into Huron country and worked against English interests there until the French were restored to power. Nicolet was loyal to his faith and to his ruler. 15
As Campbell was right about Nicolet's moral character, so President Roosevelt was wrong in placing Nicolet at the head of a great procession of American pioneers whose "deep purpose" was "to rid themselves forever of the jealousies, the prejudices, the intrigues and the violence, whether internal or external, that disturbed their lives on the other side of the ocean." Nicolet was rather a conscientious servant of the Roman Catholic Church and of Royal France and was steadfastly devoted to their purposes in the difficult struggle for North America. The violence that disturbed Europe disturbed America as well. England and France fought more than a century in bloody and truly savage colonial wars. In 1763 the lands Nicolet had opened to France became the possession of England. The cause Nicolet had committed himself to was lost, and it left slight imprint on the Wisconsin he discovered.
Soldiers of the United States arrived at Green Bay in 1816 to at last take possession of Wisconsin and make it a part of the country of its future. The few French traders and their families at Green Bay were soon absorbed, overwhelmed and lost in the massive American migration that gave Wisconsin 300,000 people within a generation. Except for names, the French heritage of Wisconsin two centuries after Nicolet was obliterated. An early "Yankee" settler of Green Bay, Albert G. Ellis, described as charming and not a little quaint the French still resident at Green Bay in 1822:
These simple people inherited their manners from their forefathers, the French of Lower Canada; and politeness and strict 'good-breeding' was the rule, from the highest to the lowest. It gave them ease and gracefulness of deportment, often a surprise and reproach to the brusque, abrupt Yankee, rendering their company acceptable and engaging with the most cultivated and polite, and insuring, in their intercourse with each other, the preservation of friendly feeling and good will. They had been sought out by the Catholic ministers, their children were all baptised Christians, had been taught the creed and commandments, and grew up simple-hearted, trusting people. They were strict observers of the seasons of festivals and feasts; from Christmas to Ash-Wednesday, the whole settlement was rife with feasting, dancing, and merrymaking; but, on the approach of Lent, it was suddenly suspended till Easter. 16
Such people were indeed a curiosity on the Yankee frontier.
Jean Nicolet left a library on his death. The catalogue includes, among other titles, Ovid's Metamorphoses, the Jesuit Relations of 1637, Meditations on the Life of Christ, The Holy Duties of a Devout Life, Elements of Logic, The Lives of the Saints, Inventory of the Sciences, Portugese Discoveries in the West Indies, The Art of Fencing, and The Way to Live for God. 17 Nicolet must have been a good companion to the cultured intellectuals who came to New France as Jesuit missionaries. Their vision of the New World was not that of the Yankees who took over the territory they had opened. The Jesuit accomplishments were not the same. In the end, in Wisconsin, they failed. Theirs was an alternative to what Wisconsin has become. In recalling Nicolet we might well consider the alternative we have chosen and made, the history that Nicolet did not begin, the modern history that conquered his hopes.

Jean Nicolet
Ancestor on the Clement, Madore and Pitt lines: http://www.angelfire.com/rnb/madore/bio/Jean_Nicolet.html
UN DES PREMIERS COLONS DE LA NOUVELLE FRANCE.
One of the founders of New France.
Commis et interprete. Jean Nicolet de Belle-Borne. Sieur de Belleborne.
The only “princess” I found so far was the first wife (no catholic ceremony) of Jean Nicollet, the famous explorer and diplomat amongst the Indians of the Great Lakes. There are a number of short biographies about him and he is mentioned in every “History of Canada”. Here is a brief resume. Jean Nicollet, born circa 1598, probably at Cherbourg (Normandy), came to Canada in 1618, drowned at Quebec, 27 October 1642. Was contracted to Canada to live amongst the Indians, learn their languages and way of life. At the time it was the main policy of the French to create a new society in the new world composed of mixed bloods, rather than colonize with “imported” French people. A large percentage of the few that came before 1633 were employed in this fashion to speed up the integration of the next ones to come with the Indians.
Champlain sent him first to the Algonquins from 1618 to 1620. In 1620 he was sent further west to the Nippissings where he lived for nine years. This is where he got together with our ancestor a Nippissing “princess”, otherwise totally anonymous, and they had a baby girl baptized Madeleine, probably in 1628-1629. It was to be their only child and our ancestor.
In 1629 the Kirke brothers ransacked the little colony at Quebec. Nicollet, rather then going back to France with most of the others, went to live with the Hurons. In 1633, at the return of Champlain and the French to Quebec, he was asked to go on a major peace mission to all the Indian tribes by Champlain, and by the way “try to find the passage to the sea of China at the same time”. He went all the way west to the Fox River and south to the Illinois River, setting peace agreements and making diplomacy in between tribes. He is famous among other things for the big powhow he set up at Green Bay, with the Winnebago, Sioux etc... dressed in a chinese damask robe, which he had brought along in case in found himself in China eventually.
In 1637, he settled on a grant of 160 acres of wooded land at Trois-Rivieres (Quebec), got married to Marguerite Couillard a French-Canadian born in Canada by whom he had a son and a daughter.
The noteworthy services he rendered to the colony, his knowledge of Indian customs and languages,and the geography of Canada and the american Northwest in general earned him the respect of everyone, French and Indians.
In 1642, while temporarily at Quebec he was asked to go with all speed to Trois-Rivieres to save an Iroquois prisoner of the Hurons who were preparing to torture him. His shallop was overturned by a strong gust and he drowned.
A good short biography with bibliography is in Vol I of the Canadian Dictionary of Biographies, p.516-518. We are a descendant of Madeleine, who married Jean Leblanc.
Email by Michel Robert
From “The Makers of Canada: Index and Dictionary of Canadian History”:
Nicolet, Jean (1598-1642) Born at Cherbourg, Normandy. Came to Canada, 1618, and the same year was sent to the Algonquians of Allumette Island, on the Ottawa, to learn their language. Remained with the tribe two years, and afterwards spent eight or nine years with the Nipissings, gaining so much of their confidence that he was made a member of the tribe and took part in their councils. His memoirs on this tribe, furnished to Father Le Jeune, were embodied in the “Jesuit Relations”. Returned to Quebec, 1633, after an absence of 15 years. There met Champlain, who sent him west once more in 1634. Reached Green Bay the same year and ascended Fox River to the Wisconsin portage. The following year returned to Quebec, and employed as commissary of the fur trade, and interpreter at Three Rivers, till his death.
And Jean Nicolet is also known to have married on 7 Oct. 1637 in Quebec Marguerite Couillard. (daughter of Guillaume Couillard and Guillemette Hebert) Supposidly, one daughter was born of this marriage.

See husband Elie Dusceau's notes' entry for further information. Her father, Jean Nicolet was a famous explorer.
That the famous explorer Jean Nicolet, in a liason with a Nipissing Algonquin Indian woman, fathered Euphrasine-Madeleine Nicolet is asserted at the following website:
http://worldconnect.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=michelduplin&id=12025I
While an entries exist in Tanguay, Vol. I, pp. 357, 451 for Euprhasine-Madeleine Nicolet, she is not given parents in her own specific entry, nor in her two husbands' entries, Elie Dussault and Jean Leblanc. But based on proof not available to me at this time, the paternity of Euphrasine-Madeleine Nicolet seems unquestioned on internet sites.
Euphrasine-Maeleine was born about 1628, but was not baptised until 1636, age 8 years, suggesting she was raised in the wildeness with her Inidan Family, as her father Jean Nicolet was a famous explorer. | Nicolet, Euphrasine-Madeleine (I10086)

See husband Jean Cote's note for the family history. She is not the daughter of Abrahm Martin dit L'Ecossais, as Benjamin Sulte believed, but Abraham's sister. Parentage is unknown. She was most likely born in France, but may have Scot origins, as her borther's nick name means "the Scotsman".
Jean Côté - our forefather: http://web.ionsys.com/~microart/jean.htm
This is a copy of Jean Costé(Côté)'s II.. The son of out ancestor signature.
In North America, the Côté family numbers in the tens of thousands. In this respect, they are the closest rivals of the Tremblays. According to the Saguenayensia, a review published by the Genealogical Society of Saguenay, there were about ten thousand Côtés in Montreal in 1976, as many in the Saguenay region and nearly eight thousand in Quebec. (1) We may also count more than a thousand in each of the urban areas of Sherbrooke and Ottawa-Hull, as well as in the Saînt-Maurice Valley. Even in Toronto, that anglophone stronghold, several citizens bearing this name have earned a place in the sun. In the United States, their strength in numbers, certainly no less than in Canada can be only imagined.
THREE OR FOUR COTES CAME FROM FRANCE
Tanguay mentions three or four different Côtés coming from France in the XVII and XVIII centuries. Jean, or Jehan as he was known, was the earliest of all. He was the ancestor of the majority, if not of all the Côtés whose roots in North America go back three centuries and more. Jean had been dead for several years already when Abraham Côté (or Botte) dit Sorak8a arrived from Dieppe. Abraham was married at the mountain Indian Mission at Montreal on 14th October 1750 to the Onondaga Marie A8endea. This Côté, who may not even have been one since his children were baptized under the name of Bote or Sorak8a, left no known descendants apart from his own offspring It is possible that they were assimilated into the Indian culture and lost their real name. In the following century other Côtés appeared. Claude, a native of Lyon, married Françoise-Angélique Pampalon in Québec on 20 July 1724, and remarried there on 20 June 1728 to Marie-Genevieve Baudouin. He had at least thirteen children; two of his sons had wives. Finally, let us mention another Jean Côté who came from Languedoc probably at the end of the French regime. This Jean married Marie-Francoise Lefebvre at Saint-Constant on 6 June 1768.
ONE 0F THE FIRST COLONISTS FROM PERCHE
However, it's time to return to the story of the first Jean, our ancestor. After the Kirke brothers sacked New France in 1632, only six French households remained, plus five interpreters who lived with the Indians. Robert Giffard was in France, preparing to return to this new country where he had already lived for several years. during the winter of 1633-1634, he visited various regions of Perche, vigorously recruiting settlers for Canada. He knew that he would be a Seigneur and doubtlessly he en-visioned ail of these habitants rendering him homage and rents.
The first people he recruited were Jean Guyon, Marin Boucher, Sébastien Dodier, Zacharie Cloutier, Guillaume Isabel and a few others. For the most part they came to Canada alone but a few did bring their families. Was Jean Côté in this first contingent of Percheron colonists in 1634? Certain historians think so while others, including Benjamin Sulte, reckon his arrivaL as a year later.
We know nothing about either the early life of Jean, or Jehan, Côté or Costé, or his antecedents. It seems most likely that he came from Perche, but he is one of the rare settlers about whom tireless researchers, such as Pierre Montagne and his wife, have discovered nothing in the archives of this French province. \Without a doubt, it is for this reason that they do not mention him in the Percheron Cahiers(2), nor in Tourouvre et les Juchereau(3).
ANCESTOR OF NEARLY ALL FRENCH CANADIANS
For his part, in his Histoire des Canadiens francais(4), Suite wrote these lines about our ancestor
"Jean Côté was married on 17 November 1635 at Quebec to Anne, daughter of Abraham Martin, and settled on the 11e d'Orléans, from where his descendants have spread to all the places where the Canadiens have penetrated, which is to say in all of North America."
We know now that Anne Martin was not the daughter of Abraham, the same who gave his name to the famous plains, but rather his sister. Father Charles Lalemant, Jesuit, acting as curate at Quebec, blessed the union of Jean and Anne in the presence of Guillaume Couillard and Robert Giffard. This couple had eight children, seven of whom married and became the ancestors of nearly ail the French Canadians.(5)
FROM THE ILE D'ORLEANS TO THE REST 0F AMERICA
All the sons of Jean and Anne settled on the île d'Orléans: Louis, Martin, Mathieu, Jean and Noel. According to genealogist Roland Auger, it was only in the third generation that the Côté emigrated in large numbers. The children of Louis followed their mother to the île aux Coudres. She was remarried to Guillaume Lemieux and settled in Berthier-en-Bas, then in Saint-Thomas de Montmagny. Martin's sons spent their lives on the île d'Orléans and at Beauport while grandson Gabriel settled at Rimouski. The children of Mathieu went in two directions: Beaumont and Baie-du-Febvre. Jean, who had the largest family (twelve sons and eight daughters), had descendants who founded families everywhere: Jean-Baptiste was the first seigneur of the île-Verte; Guillaume went to Quebec; the children of Joseph III were found at Lachenaye, Laprairie, Saint-Constant, Montreal, even at Detroit; the children of Ignace III were at the Grondines and Trois-Riviéres; finally, the children of Thomas III went to Baie-Saint-Paul and Saguenay.(6)
A GOOD SERVICE WITH UNFORTUNATE CONSEQUENCES
Genealogist Alfred Cambray(7) emphasizes that on 5 February 1645,(8) Robert Giffard granted a homestead to Jean Côté. It measured three arpents in frontage on the river, to the depth of the seigneury, and was located between the holdings of Zacharie Cloutier and Noel Langlois.
"From the time of the first settlements," writes Cambray, "the iroquois were relentlessly at war with the French and with their Indian allies. The colonists were never sure of spending a day in peace without being exposed to raids from bands of Iroquois. It was a matter of not going far from each other in order to meet any eventuality.
"Noel Langlois was a neighbor of Jean Côté and, to ensure mutual protection, he invited Jean to lodge near him. To this end, he gave him a small portion of land in order to build a habitation on it. During an interlude in hostilities, Jean Côté returned to the île d'Orleans, where he had moved his family, and left the homestead next to Langlois on which he had done some clearing, as weil as the smail piece on which he had built a cabin. This property was abandoned by the negligence of those supposed to keep it up.
"Having become a widower, Noel Langlois divided his property on 10 June 1683. After the division, Jean Langlois Sieur de Saint-Jean, sold to Jean Baugy three fourths of an arpent, in a contract dated 15 May 1686. It bordered that of the Sieur Traversy, a son of Noel Langlois also named Noel, to the north-east. To the southeast was Jean Pelletier, heir to a fourth of an arpent. After these sales, a quarter in the south-west remained, adjoining the Côté homestead. On 12 July 1696, the heirs of Jean Côté sold their father's homestead, as well as the small piece of land which Noel Langlois had given Jean Côté, to their brother-in-law André Parent. "Parent encroached on the land of Jean Baugy and opened quarries. Then he sued Baugy who had protested this encroachment. The Provost rendered a decision on 26 February 1697, permitting Parent to continue his work. However, this decision was not enforced.
"Noel Vachon dit Pamerlaux acquired the four parts of Noel Langlois's land, which constituted the remaining arpent, in addition to the three quarters of an arpent bought by Baugy which contained the old cabin of Côté. Then he bought the remainder of the Côté land from André Parent. The widow Pamerlaux kept this contract a secret and began to work the quarry on Baugy's land. This contract was finally located in the property inventory of the said widow Pamerlaux.(9)
Cambray concludes by noting: "This favor granted by Noel Langlois to his neighbor Jean Côté was done out of gratitude and good intentions, but what confusion resulted therefrom."
A BRIEF SOJOURN IN OLD QUEBEC
Jean Côté was the owner of a house situated near the present corner of the rue Trésor and the rue Baude. Today this is the alley where artists display their creations for the tourists. The house was on a plot of land with 150 feet of frontage by 60 in depth. On 15 November 1649, Côté offered it as dowry for his daughter Simone when she married Pierre Soumande. On 7 November 1655, Soumande sold this house to Jacques Boessel for 350 livres. Côté also owned a piece of land between la Grande-Allée and the river, in what was then the outskirts of Québec. Governor Montmagny had given it to him on 27 August 1636; this act was ratified on 5 April 1639.
Our ancestor Jean Côté passed away on 27 March 1661. The burial act, entered in the records of the parish of Quebec states as follows: " Year 1661, the 28th March, was interred in the church, Jean Côté, early habitant of this country, died the day preceding, in his house." As for Anne Martin, she survived him by more than twenty years. The census of 1681 does not mention her, but it is likely that she was living with one of her sons. Anne too, was buried at Québec, on 4 December 1684, at about the age of 70 years. A week earlier, son Jean lost his wife, Anne Couture, the mother of his first eight children
A WELL KNOWN AND RESPECTED FAMILY
During the second half of the XVII century, the family of our ancestor was very well known and respected. They were one of the first families to settle on the Ile d'Orléans, within the present boundaries of the parish of Saint-Pierre.(11)
Seven of the eight children had offspring
1. Louis (1636-1669), married Elisabeth Langlois in 1662. They had three children, After the premature death of Louis, Elisabeth remarried to Guillaume Lemieux and became the ancestors of families bearing this name.
2. Simone (1637-before 1700), married Pierre Soumande, a master edge-tool maker and boat captain. Simone was an experienced business woman, working several years with her son-in-law Francois Hazeur, a well known merchant of those times.
3. Martin (1639-1710), married Suzanne Page dit Quercy in 1667. They had nine children, five boys and four girls.
4. Mathieu (1642-1710), married Elisabeth Gravel in 1667. They lived at Saint-Pierre on the île d'Orléans and had nine children. Daughter Marie-Anne became an Ursuline nun in 1698 and took the name of Sister of Saint-Joachim. 5. Jean dit Lefrise (1644-1722), became the Pater Familias of the family First he married Anne Couture in 1669. They had seven children, four boys and three girls, ail of whom became nursing sisters at the Hôtel-Dieu of Québec. Jean remarried in 1686 to Geneviève Verdon, by whom he had eleven children, eight boys and three girls. This vigorous sire of twenty children was a captain of militia, a farmer, a fisherman and a coureur des bois at various stages in his colorful life. He finally settled in the Grondines where he seems to have ended his days.
6. Jean-Noel (1646-1701), married Helene Graton in 1673. They lived in Saint-Pierre and had ten children: six boys and four girls. Daughter Genevieve became a nursing sister at the Hôtel-Dieu.
7. Marie was born on 12 and buried on 25 January 1648.
8. Louise (1650-?), married Jean Grignon in 1663. He travelled on business between La Rochelle and Québec. This family had no children in Canada.

Statesman, bishop under the Merovingians, born c. 580; died c. 640. His parents belonged to a distinguished Frankish family, and lived in Austrasia, the eastern section of the kingdom founded by Clovis. In the school in which he was placed during his boyhood he excelled through his talent and his good behaviour. According to the custom of the age, he was sent in due time to the court of Theodebert II, King of Austrasia (595-612), to be initiated in the various branches of the government. Under the guidance of Gundulf, the Mayor of the Palace, he soon became so proficient that he was placed on the regular list of royal officers, and among the first of the kings ministers. He distinguished himself both as a military commander and in the civil administration; at one time he had under his care six distinct provinces. In due course Arnulf was married to a Frankish woman of noble lineage, by whom he had two sons, Anseghisel and Clodulf. While Arnulf was enjoying worldly emoluments and honours he did not forget higher and spiritual things. His thoughts dwelled often on monasteries, and with his friend Romaricus, likewise an officer of the court, he planned to make a pilgrimage to the Abbey of Lérins, evidently for the purpose of devoting his life to God. But in the meantime the Episcopal See of Metz became vacant. Arnulf was universally designated as a worthy candidate for the office, and he was consecrated bishop of that see about 611. In his new position he set the example of a virtuous life to his subjects, and attended to matters of ecclesiastical government. In 625 he took part in a council held by the Frankish bishops at Reims. With all this Arnulf retained his station at the court of the king, and took a prominent part in the national life of his people. In 613, after the death of Theodebert, he, with Pepin of Landen and other nobles, called to Austrasia Clothaire II, King of Neustria. When, in 625, the realm of Austrasia was entrusted to the kings son Dagobert, Arnulf became not only the tutor, but also the chief minister, of the young king. At the time of the estrangement between the two kings, and 625, Arnulf with other bishops and nobles tried to effect a reconciliation. But Arnulf dreaded the responsibilities of the episcopal office and grew weary of court life. About the year 626 he obtained the appointment of a successor to the Episcopal See of Metz; he himself and his friend Romaricus withdrew to a solitary place in the mountains of the Vosges. There he lived in communion with God until his death. His remains, interred by Romaricus, were transferred about a year afterwards, by Bishop Goeric, to the basilica of the Holy Apostles in Metz.
Of the two sons of Arnulf, Clodulf became his third successor in the See of Metz. Anseghisel remained in the service of the State; from his union with Begga, a daughter of Pepin of Landen, was born Pepin of Heristal, the founder of the Carlovingian dynasty. In this manner Arnulf was the ancestor of the mighty rulers of that house. The life or Arnulf exhibits to a certain extent the episcopal office and career in the Merovingian State. The bishops were much considered at court; their advice was listened to; they took part in the dispensation of justice by the courts; they had a voice in the appointment of royal officers; they were often used as the king's ambassadors, and held high administrative positions. For the people under their care, they were the protectors of their rights, their spokesmen before the king and the link uniting royalty with its subjects. The opportunities for good were thus unlimited; and Arnulf used them to good advantage.
Wikipedia Article:
Arnulf of Metz
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
Arnulf of Metz (August 13, 582 – August 16, 640) was a Frankish noble who had great influence in the Merovingian kingdoms as a bishop and was later canonized as a saint. He is also known by his anglicized name, Arnold.
Arnulf gave distinguished service at the Austrasian court under Theudebert II (595-612). About 611 he was made bishop of Metz. In 613, Arnulf and Pippin of Landen, whose daughter Begga, had married Arnulf's son Ansegisel, led the opposition of Frankish nobles to Queen Brunhilda of Austrasia. The revolt led to her overthrow, torture, and eventual execution, and the subsequent reunification of Frankish lands under Clotaire II, the dowager queen's nephew. Though Arnulf wanted to retreat to the Vosges mountains as a hermit, he was persuaded to stay and became the bishop of Metz.
From 623 (with Pippin of Landen, then the Mayor of the Palace), Arnulf was an adviser to Dagobert I. With his friend Romaric, he retired in 627 to a mountain site in the Vosges, to implement his lifelong resolution to become a hermit.
Before he was consecrated, he had two sons by his wife Doda: Ansegisel and Chlodulf. Ansegisel married Pippin's daughter Begga, and their child was Pippin the Middle, one of Charlemagne's great-grandfathers. Chlodulf, like his father, became bishop of Metz. The existence of third son called Martin is considered dubious.
Arnulf was canonized as a saint by the Roman Catholic Church and is known as the patron saint of brewing. His feast day is either July 18 or August 16. In iconography, he is portrayed with a rake in his hand. He is often confused in legend with Arnold of Soissons, who is another patron saint of brewing.
Saint Arnold Brewery, Houston, Texas, named after the saint, lists itself as the state's oldest microbrewery.
[edit]
Uncertain ancestry
While Arnulf is recognised as one of the earliest documented ancestors of Charlemagne and thereby of most modern European royal families, Arnulf's own parentage is both uncertain and undocumented. Some have claimed that Arnulf's father was Arnoldus (c.535–600), and that his mother was Ada of Swabia. Others, professing to quote Frankish legends, make Arnulf the son of Bodigisel. Still others have claimed that Arnulf's mother was Bertha, Princess of Paris (539–640).
Arnulf's more distant descent from a 4th-century "Mellobaude" may be a genealogical fantasy to flatter the Carolingians:
