♂Jean Roy

Born 1662. Died 1741, Montréal, New France.

Jean Roy (baptized 8 February 1662) was a Montréal man, in New France, who lived in the parish of Saints-Anges at Lachine when he married in 1690, and whose daughter Marie married François Mallet at Montréal in 1728. He was the eighth great-grandfather of Nancy Jane Blanchard (1929–2006), through his daughter Marie Roy (born 1706).

Parentage and marriage

He was the second of the seven children of Jean Roy and Françoise Bouet, both of the Saints-Anges parish at Lachine, and the 1690 marriage record names them as his parents. The censuses of 1666 and 1667 both list him at Montréal, in his parents’ household. That marriage took place at Notre-Dame de Montréal on 6 February 1690, when he was single. A marriage contract was drawn up at Montréal the day before, on 5 February 1690. His bride was Marie Anne Bouchard, daughter of a surgeon who had died by then and of Marguerite Boisel. The marriage was celebrated with a dispensation from two of the three bannsW that were normally called beforehand. The record does not say why the priest granted it.

Children

Nineteen children of Jean Roy and Marie Anne Bouchard were baptized at Notre-Dame de Montréal between 1691 and 1717, roughly one a year. Three of them, Paul (1705), Marie Louise (1712) and Antoine (1713), died within a few weeks of birth. Their daughter Marie was born on 31 December 1706 and baptized on 2 January 1707. When she married François Mallet at Notre-Dame on 8 November 1728, the register named her parents as Jean Roy and Marie Anne Bouchar.

By the 1730s the family was living at the Côte de Verdun. On 18 March 1733 two of the children, Guillaume, aged 25, and his young sister Angélique, were buried on the same day, and their sister Anne followed in December 1734. Judith died unmarried in 1744.

Ten of the children married, nearly all at Notre-Dame de Montréal. Marie married François Morel in 1708, and Angélique married Antoine Tune dit Dufresne in 1713 and, as his widow, Jean Baptiste Moison in 1749. Madeleine married Louis Langevin in 1715, Marie Anne married Jean Baptiste Jarry in 1723, and Étienne married Marie Lécuyer in 1725. Marguerite married the widower Charles Potier in 1731. After their father’s death Françoise married Pierre Joseph Rainville in 1745, Élisabeth married Jean Morin in 1746, and Louise married Joseph Lombard in 1748.

Birth and death

The baptism record at Notre-Dame de Montréal gives 8 February 1662. A family chart compiled in 1994 gives the same day with the year 1661.

Jean Roy died on 3 April 1741 and was buried the next day in the cemetery beside the church of Notre-Dame de Montréal. The burial register gives his age as 80. Marie Anne Bouchard outlived him by five years and was buried at Notre-Dame on 23 April 1746.
