SEIGNEURIE DE
BEAUPRÉ : ANGE-GARDIEN
A farm which fed 11 successive
generations
Text by Raymond
Bélanger©
HOMMAGE to FRANÇOIS BÉLANGER and MARIE GUYON, PLAQUE SITUATED AT E
AU 6117 CHEMIN
ROYAL, ANGE-GARDIEN, QUÉBEC.
Contrary to the affirmation of several historians who say this farm (No 20 at Ange-Gardien
with a current addrerss of 6117 Chemin Royal) is the birthplace of the
Belangers in America, we are currently certain that it was never the property
of Francois & Marie Guyon. Referring to the research of Raymond Gariépy
in his volume Les terres de
l'Ange-Gardien (the farms of Ange Gardien), we know it was purchased, due to
the "right of lineage" per the custom of Paris, by Charles Bélanger, the
ancestor of the children of Francois on 10 September 1691 for 2000 livres.
The 15th of February 1654, Jean de Lauzon, then governor, had conveyed to Jean
Guyon, married 27 November 1645 to Élisabeth Couillard. This farm of 5 arpents
of frontage by 126 arpents deep was surveyed by Guillaume and Louis Couillard
was conveyed to Jean Jean Guyon, the son and royal surveyor, and not to Jean
Guyon, the father married to Mathurine Robin. Raymond Gariépy, in
contradiction to many historians, does not mention that three days later (the
18th February)
Jean Guyon and Marguerite Couillard had given a portion of 20 perches to their
daughter Marie as a wedding gift.
"...Le 17 novembre 1691 (Jacob), Jean Guion vendit sa
terre à Nicolas Trudel qui la revendit à Mathurin Huot le 20 novembre 1691. Ce
dernier avait épousé Marie Le Tartre (soeur de Barbe, épouse de Nicolas Trudel)
le 25 novembre 1671.
Le contrat de vente du 20 novembre 1691 ne se trouve pas au minutier de Jacob,
mais on en connait l'existence par un acte du 9 décembre 1691 (Jacob),
résiliant la vente de Nicolas Trudel à Mathurin Huot."
( A true family affair as, within 8 days, the property changed hands as follows:
Jean Trudel married to Marguerite Thomas, 19 November 1655, to a son
named:
Nicolas Trudel married to Barbe LeTartre, 7
January 1684, daughter of
René-Pierre Du-Tertre and Louise Goulet, 1654,
and sister of
Marie LeTartre
who married Mathurin Huot, 25
November 1671, ) - relation established by Armand Bélanger.
