      Catherine Lorion


      Ancestor on the Clement and Madore lines: http://www.angelfire.com/rnb/madore/bio/Catherine_Lorion.html

      She marries 4 times: 1 – PIERRE VILLAIN

      2 – JEAN SIM0N (our ancestor)

      3 - NICOLAS MILLET (dit LEBEAUCERON)

      4 - PIERRE DESAUTELS (dit LAPOINTE)

      Here’s what Trudel has on Catherine Lorion:

      She probably came to New France in 1654. She was then 16 years old and did not sign. She was from the province of Aunis. She marries Pierre Villain on Oct. 13 1654. Villain dies on Jan 19 1655, Catherine marries Jean Simon (our ancestor) on June 29 next. On Nov. 24 1656, Simon dies and Catherine marries, for a third time; on April 9 1657 she weds Nicolas Millet who dies on March 9, 1674. Catherine takes a fourth husband on Nov. 23 1676, she then weds Pierre Desautels.

      Catherine was still living in 1681. Trudel must have worked mostly with Tanguay.

      Yves Landry and collaborators in “Pour le Christ et le Roy”, published in 1992 provide notices of Montreal Pionneers. Catherine Lorion is among them. The notice provides the same info as Trudel’s with a few additional details: Catherine was born about 1637. She arrived in Montreal in 1654 and died there on April 20 1720. There are no child from her marriage with Vilain, one of her marriage with Jean Simon our ancestor, 8 from her marriage with Millet dit le Beauceron and 2 from her marriage with Desautels dit Lapointe.

      Her fourth (and last husband) is the only one to have died as we say in french "de sa belle mort". The first had a tree fall on him, the second, our ancestor, drowned, the third burned up in his house and almost every time Catherine remaries VERY quickly.
