      Philippe AMIOT:

      He came to Canada with is three sons and wife after 1635, but was dead by 1639, the year his wife remarries.
      One of the founders of New France.

      The ancestor of the Amyot families is called Philippe, originating in the surroundings of Soissons in France. He came to the new-country in the summer of 1635, with his wife Anne Convent, of Estrees, district of Saint-Quentin, in Picardy, with two children, Jean and Mathieu. Philippe has a short existence in New-France, his widow convole in second weddings in 1639 with Jacques Maheu.

      It is by the son, Mathieu Amyot, born between 1627 and 1629, close to Chartres, which we are transmitted the links with Amyot, known as Villeneuve. He is during a few years the interpreter of the Jesuits in Three-Rivers and also in Huronie. Mathieu Amyot, known as Villeneuve marries in Quebec, November 22 1650, Marie Miville, born in 1632, and daughter of our ancestor Pierre Miville, known as LeSuisse and Charlotte Maugis.

      Prosperous colonists, Mathieu and Marie had several properties, in Quebec. In 1667, Jean Talon claims for this colonist, of the letters of nobility which are granted by the king, but revoked two years later, fault of being recorded. One counts fifteen children with the couple.

      As for Mathieu Amiot, sieur of Villeneuve, he is buried on December 19 1688 in Quebec. Marie Miville survives him until September 5, 1702.
