5CHILDREN FROM THE FIRST MARRIAGE
Things were going too well for the Bonneau family. The records do not tell us how or why, but Marie-Anne Lelong, 31 years old, died on 13 February 1684. A bad case of the flu? An unsuccessful birth? Medicine then was so rudimentary, so lacking. The superiority of a nurse of today over the best doctors of the seventeenth century is not in doubt. On 14 February, ancestress Bonneau was brought to the cemetery of Sainte-Famille. Francois Marceau, Simon Chamberland and Jacques Hardy ‘witnessed her interment before Abbot Lamy, he who had blessed the Lelong-Bonneau marriage.
Marie-Anne had known the joys of motherhood five times: she gave the light of day to Pierre, Joseph, Marie—Jeanne, Anne and Antoine.
Pierre the eldest was the godson of Pierre Labbe. After a two—day stay at the Hôtel—Dieu of Quebec, he died on 19 June 1697 at the age of 26.
Joseph married Marie-Anne Bissonnet on 5 March 1696 at Sainte-Famille. Joseph and his two young children died at La Durantaye during the epidemic at the end of 1702.
As for Marie—Jeanne, the wife of Jean Vigny, she lost her husband at Baie Saint-Paul, after a little more than one year of marriage. On 6 November 1697, she devoted herself to service at the Seminary of Quebec.
Anne, 4 years old, was buried at Saint—Francois in October 1682.
Finally, the great pestilence carried away the youngest, Antoine, on 18 December 1702 at La Durantaye after twenty two years of life.
In short, illness completely consumed this first Bonneau harvest of children.

Notes for Joseph & Marie-Madeleine (Family)
5On 10 April 1684, Father Lamy made his way to Saint—Francois. In the name of notary Duquet, he drew up a marriage contract between Joseph Bonneau and Marie-Madeleine Duchesne. The next day, the nuptial benediction took place before Maurice Arrive’, Louis Lepage and Simon Chamberland. This was the first marriage entered in the registry of Saint—Francois. Marie-Madeleine, eldest daughter of Pierre Duchesne dit Lapierre and Catherine Rivet, a native of the island, carried her 17 years with ease the day of her wedding.
