Jacques Beavais' wife Jeanne Solde was a fille a marier.
The following is a summary of informantion found in Peter J. Gagne's "Before the King's Daughters: The Filles a Marier, 1634-1662", pp 282-283:
Jeanne Solde' was born about 1633 in LaFleche, diocese of Angers, Anjou, France. she was the daughter of Martin Solde' or Saulde', a day laborer, and Julienne Le Pot(h)ier. Jeanne Solde arrived in Montreal, Canada, 16 November 1653, on board of the Saint-Nicolas. she was part of the Grand Recrue led by Marguerite Bourgeoys who was also on board with 27 other filles a marier. (Gagne, op. cit., p. 374)
Jeanne was present at the marriage contract of another fille a marier, Marie-Marthe Pinson on 11 December 1653. On that same date the notary wrote up Jeanne's contract of marriage with Jacques Beauvais as well. Her husband was unable to sign his name, but it is not known whether she could sign hers. Jeane and Jacques were married 7 January 1654 in Montreal, less than two months after Jeanne had arrived in Montreal with Marguerite Bougeoys.
Ten days after their marriage Governor Maisonneuve gave Jacques Beauvais a land grant.
Jacques was baptized in St. Martin church, Ige', arrondissement of Mortagne, Perche, France on 22 November 1623. He was the son of Gabriel Beauvais and Marie Croniere or Crosnier, Ige', France. Jacques was in Quebec City as early as 16 September 1653 when hesigned a business agreement with Charles Sylvestert, although he soon relocated to Montreal where he remained most of his life judging from the baptisms of his children and place of burial of his wife and himself. Jacques was a limestone burner and merchant in New France. He also tried his hand at construction, was one of Montreal's leading chalk makers, and was a sand and stone merchant. He became a soldier with the 12th squadron of Montreal's Sainte-Famille militia in 1663. The 1681 Census indicates Jacques had a farm on Cote Saint-Joseph with "seven horned beasts" (cattle) and had 28 arpents (acres) under cultivation. This land the land he had been granted to him 17 Janaury 1654, ten days ater is marriage.
Jacques Beauvais and his wife Jeanne Solde had nine children from 1654-1671. Jacques wasa buried at Montreal on 20 March 1691 and Jeanne died in Montreal after 12 November 1697.
