Notes for Anne Pastourel
sage-femme 1704 1708 Détroit
Suzanne Sommerville:
This is my account of Anne Pastourel in my “Other Women, Part 1” and the documentation can be found on the full article on the website cited above.
By summer of 1703, Madame Cadillac was also pregnant again, but, unlike Madame Tonty, she remained at Fort Pontchartrain. In order to prevent the loss of yet another child, a wet nurse was hired to serve Madame Cadillac, and this hiring contract identifies another woman who came to Détroit in the first three years, although her name does not appear in the register until later.
Anne Pastourel, a 26 year-old widow of the recently deceased Jean Morisseau, an interpreter and voyageur, had given birth at Repentigny on 5 May 1703 to a posthumous Morisseau child, Marie Catherine Morisseau. Jean Baptiste Morisseau, Jean’s brother, had agreed to travel “au Détroit du lac Érié” on 16 July 1702 (Adhémar). This contract was written at Fort Roland; the members of the convoy were to be paid 200 livres du païs and were to return the same year. Jean, though, was in Montréal by 12 November 1702, when he and his wife, said to be from St. Sulpice, acknowledged owing 140 livres du païs to Adrien Bétourne and his wife Marie Deshayes, present and accepting for her absent husband. The debt was to be repaid within three years. This appears to be the last extant reference to him alive. Anne Pastourel and Morisseau had an older child, Jacques, born in February of 1701, and another child, Vincent, 5 April 1699, who had died 27 September 1701.
On 27 August 1703, Anne contracted to go to Fort Pontchartrain, possibly with both of her children, two-year-old Jacques and daughter Catherine, but definitely with Catherine, just a babe in arms, to serve two years as wet nurse for Madame Lamothe. Transportation and food for her “et son enfant” would be provided, and she would receive 450 livres a year, beginning at the time of the birth of the Cadillac child. The Cadillacs promised to pay her one-half of her salary if the child was still-born or died within the first six months of life. If the child died after six months but before the end of the first year, Anne Pastourel would receive her full payment for that year. It is a nice touch to note that she would also be given a “robbe de chambre,” a dressing gown.
Anne evidently served her role well. The child she nursed, Marie Thérèse, baptized on 4 February 1704, the first surviving act in the registers of Fort Pontchartrain (Ste. Anne de Detroit), lived a long life, even having descendants to this day.
However, Anne was back in Repentigny by 14 February 1705, when she served as godmother. She must have joined Madame Cadillac and other women who returned to the colony in September of 1704 while Cadillac was under investigation in Québec City. A convoy was dispatched in July to bring them down, along with the pelletries (skins and furs) that had not been released earlier in June. An official inquiry into what had happened then also took place at the fort, with sworn testimony taken by Sieur de Vincelotte from, among others, “Elisabeth Couk” / alias Isabelle Couc, soon to become Madame Montour, in connection with the procès, or legal case, against Cadillac. Isabelle Couc had served as godmother at the fort earlier in 1704 and would do so again in 1706.
Anne Pastourel remarried in Montréal on 17 July 1707 to André Chavet dit Camirand, a 37-year-old soldier in the company of Courtemanche, whom she may have met at the fort, and went with him back to Fort Pontchartrain as part of a contingent of settlers that year. There she had at least two children, 1708 and 1710:
14 May 1708, baptism of André, son of André Chauvet dit Camirand, sergent, and his wife Anne Pastorel [widow of Jean Morrisseau], born yesterday at the fort. Godparents: François Marcée [Marquet], soldat, and Marie Magdeleine Delorme, who signed. Father Deniau. (41)
2 May 1710, baptism of Pierre, son of André Chauvet dit Camirand, sergent, and Anne Pastorelle, his wife. Godparents: Pierre Durant dit Deslauriers, soldat de Dulude, & Marie Anne LeMoyne, wife of Delisle. Deniau. (55)
and possibly a third, whose baptism record has not survived but who died in Trois Rivières in 1714. The Camirand family had relocated there by then.
She was several times a godmother at Fort Pontchartrain:
21 July 1710, baptism of Pierre, Huron. Godparents: Jean Contant, soldat, & Anne Pastorelle, femme Camirand. Deniau. (102)
3 September 1710, baptism of Anne, 8tagamis [Outagamis or Fox Indian ]. Godparents: Pierre Gareau, voyageur, & Anne Pastorelle, femme Sieur Camirand. Deniau. (105)
31 March 1711, baptism of Charlotte, daughter of Jacques Desmoulins dit Philis and Charlotte Savarias, his wife, habitants de ce fort, born today. Godparents: Jacques Langlois, forgeron, & Anne Pastorelle, femme de Cammerand [sic], tous habitants de ce fort. Godfather signed. Deniau. (58-59)
1 April 1711, baptism of Anne, Huron. Godparents: François Goguet dit Sansoucy, soldat, & Anne Pastourelle, femme de Camirand, sergent. Deniau. (116)
Anne served as a sage femme—midwife—at Trois Rivières after her relocation there, and may well have served as such at Detroit or perhaps learned her skill there. The presence of a sage femme, unidentified by name, is noted in the registers for the birth of twins born in 1708 to François Fafard and his wife, Marie Madeleine Jobin.16
