5FATHER, MOTHER AND FIVE CHILDREN, CROSS THE SEA
Born at the end of the XVI century, Gaspard, probably the son of Jacques Boucher and of Francoise Paigne’, was married to Nicole Lemaire when he was about twenty years old. At least eight children were born of this union, five of whom crossed the seas with their parents. However, on 25 May 1633, it is not at all certain that our ancestor had any intention of leaving his homeland. On that date our master carpenter acquired from his mother-in-law, Marie Gastrie, a plot of land and an orchard at Perruchet, in the parish of SaintHilaire. But he sold this property on 1 February 1634. Had he already made the decision to go to New France? It is quite possible. However, he was not on the first voyage, the one in 1634, as several historians have stated.
Besides, on the following 20 April,(3) we learn that Marie Gastrie, "abandoned Wife of Pierre Delorme, her second husband," ensured her son—in-law and daughter a legacy superior to that of her other heirs because Gaspard and Nicole had provided for the forsaken lady without recompense for eighteen months. Pierre Boucher himself stated in his Me’moires that he was one of the earliest inhabitants of New France, "having been brought over to this country by my late father in 1635." (4) In addition, an act by notary Decourtemanche discovered by Madame Pierre Montagne in the archives of Alencon confirms this. (5) On 19 March 1635, the Bouchers were still in France; but on that day they sold, left, ceded and transferred forever to Jeanne Desjouis, two parcels of plowed but unsown land at Charbonniers, adjoining the monastery of Val-Dieu. (6)
This was probably Gaspard's last transaction in his native Perche. A few days later, the family bade adieu to their relatives and friends, received the blessing of the Cure’ Alexandre Chevalier, traveled the forty leagues (160 km) by wagon, (from Mortagne to Dieppe) and embarked on one of the ships commanded by Duplessis—Bouchart.(7) Coming out of the English Channel, the convoy evaded a fleet of Turkish ships and made the transit, beset by the usual Atlantic storms. This voyage was longer than the one the previous year, but they finally reached the promised land on 4 July. A long-boat sent from Tadoussac announced their imminent arrival at Quebec. The good ship Saint-Jacques, commanded by Roche-Jacquelin, arrived there eight days later.
CHAMPLAIN WELCOMES THE NEW ARRIVALS
"Samuel de Champlain, who was still living, (he died on Christmas Day 1635), Writes Montarville de la Bruére, welcomed the new arrivals at Fort Saint-Louis. Without doubt he could not have suspected that one among them, a young boy of thirteen, would later be one of the principal instruments of the salvation of his dear colony. However, it was a great consolationduring his last days, to see added to his nation such an industrious and honest family." (8)
”At the post of Trois-Riviéres, writes Sister Estelle Mitchell, (10) the Boucher family had great influence, being made up of eighteen people while the total population did not exceed one hundred. (II) Gaspard, the father, as well as his sons-in-law Baudry and Lafond, signed the official report of the election, as trustee, of Michel Leneuf du Hérisson in September 1648. (l2)...
0n Sunday, 17 January 1649, at the home of Gaspard Boucher, a marriage contract was signed between his son Pierre and Marie Chrestien( sic), a Huron woman living in Trois-Rivieres and who was related to the Pachirini family.(l3) Marie-Madeleine Chretienne, as historians her, was a boarder for a few years at the Ursuline convent.” Mother Marie de 1’Incarnation said about her:"There are some among the Hurons Who persevered in their studies and Whom We raised as French girls. We provide for them and they do very well in reading , writing and speaking French. We have introduced one of these girls to Monsieur Boucher who has been for some time the Governor of Trois-Riviéres." (14)
