    Notes 
    • When Francois Lemaistre-Lamorille and Marie Judith (Rigault) Rigaud, at Trois-Riveierers, it may have not been the first marriage performed there, but it was the first marriage officially recorded in that town. Trois-Riveierers was established as a permenant settlement in 1634, by 1654 it was a principle trading post in New France, and had a population of 38 households and numbering about 150 people. In 1653 the total white population in the French colony was but a little more then 2,000, the majority of these were living in Quebec, Montreal and Trois-Riveierers. On October 23, 1655, They purchase a house and lot from Jean Pacaut and Jacques Brisset for 300 Livres, nine pieces of pine, an oven and kneading trough. The lot consisted of twenty toises square and bounded on the southeast by St-Pierre Street, on the southwest by the home of Elie Grimard, on the northwest by the lands of Monsieur Godefroy, and on the north by the home of the deaceased Sieur de Normanville. The land had been orgiginally ceded by Governor d'Ailleboust to Marhurin Baillangeon and Claude Houssart in 1650. Two years later they sold it together with the house they had erected to, Dame Duplessis-Kerbodot, wife of the deceased govornor of Trois-Rivieres who in turn sold it to Pacaut and Brisset. The members of the Lottinville family were truly one of the very earlies families and contributed in no small way in the develepoment of the Domain of Canada. Little is known of their origins in France, but it is certain that they originated from Picardy a province in northern France. Francois was born in 1631, and a master taylor and a soldier at the fort. Marie Judith was born about 1633, the daughter of Elie Rigaud and from Saint-Jean-d'Angely in the provience of Saintonge. Some are of the opion by her father's and her own forename, she was of Huguenot origin. If this were true, either her father or she converted to the Catholic Faith, as she was married as a Catholic. She arrived in New France in about 1649, and for about five years before before her marriage she was a maid to Marguerite Legarduer, dame de la Potherie, who's husband was governor of Trois-Riveierers. During this time she spent nineteen months in Montreal recovering from an illness at the home of Nicolas d'Ailleboust, sicur de Coulonges-la-Madelaine. Francois Lemaistre-Lamorille and Marie Judith (Rigault) Rigaud were the parents of 8 children. This is a partial insert from the gelealogy works titled " The Lottinville Family by Armand J. Lottinville", published in 1942. There were only 13 copies published, of which I am in possession of 2.

      Death: 3 May 1703 in Louiseville, PQ

      Birth: 1633 in St Jean Angely,Saintonge,France 1
      Death: 13 AUG 1711 in Trois Rivieres,St Maurice,Quebec
      Note: Hired by Marguerite LeGardeur in La Rochelle in 1651as domestic for 5 yrs.and emigrated to Trois Rivieres, arrested in 1679 for living with Pierre Cavelier, banished from Montreal for 10 yrs
      Court of Trois-Rivi?res, 1655-1662
      Lawyers were not allowed to immigrate or even visit Nouvelle-France, by royal decree. Nevertheless or maybe because of it, it was common practice for everybody to go to court to ensure that justice would prevail.
      Between 1655 and 1662 at the "Pr?v?t? de Trois-Rivi?res", there were 907 cases tried, for a population of about 700 for the whole area ! The "Pr?vot?" was not only filling the role of today's legal system but also acted as collecting agency at a time and place where cash for transactions was physically rare and more often than not replaced by bartering.

      The ten persons with the highest attendance records were:
      44 times - Jacques Aubuchon dit LeLoyal, master carpenter, married to Mathurine Poisson
      44 times - Barth?l?mi Bertaut, gunsmith, single
      32 times - Louis Pinard, master surgeon, married to Marie-Madeleine Hertel
      31 times - M?dard Chouart DesGroseillers, fur trader, married to H?l?ne Martin
      29 times - Jacques Besnard, unknown profession, single
      29 times - Quentin Moral, sieur de St-Quentin, government attorney (civil and criminal), married to Marie Marguerie
      27 times - Christophe Crevier, sieur de La M?l?e, baker, owner of the Crevier Estate (Seigneurie), married to Jeanne vard
      26 times - Jacques M?nard dit Lafontaine, wheel and cartwright, married to Catherine Forestier
      24 times - Fran?ois Lema?stre dit Le Picard, master tailor, married to Judith Rigaud
      22 times - Ren? Besnard dit Bourjoli, corporal, married to Marie S?dilot

      April 8, 1679 Marie Judith Rigaud was charged with leading a scandalolus life, with Pierre Cavelier (ten letters were presented as evidence, which they had written each other). She was found guilty. Effective April 14, 1679, she was banished from the district of Montreal for ten years, and if she returned before the expiration of this term, she would be whipped, branded with the fleur-de-lis and fined 300 livres. Pierre was forbidden either to write, or visit her, under penalty of jail, a fine of 1,000 livres and coperal punishment. The sentence was ordered to be posted in large characters on the main door of the parish churces of Montreal, Lachine, and Pointe-aux-Trembles. It is beleived that Marie Judith Rigaud then returned to rehabilitate herself in the face of her neighbors, at Trois-Riveierers. It is also beleived in 1681 she is listed under the name Judith Desauneaux, 45, living with her daughter Marguerite who married Guillaume-Christopher Gerbault.

      Judith Rigaud was an educated servant of Huguenot ancestry.
