♀Marie Roy

Born 1706. Died 1744, Pointe-Claire, Montréal, New France.

Marie Roy (31 December 1706 – 8 March 1744) was a Montréal woman who married François Mallet in 1728; their daughter married at Detroit in 1755. She was the seventh great-grandmother of Nancy Jane Blanchard (1929–2006), through her daughter Marie Anne Mallet, who married at Detroit in 1755.

Life

She was born on 31 December 1706 and baptized two days later at Notre-Dame de Montréal, one of the nineteen children of Jean Roy and Marie Anne Bouchard. On 7 November 1728 she and François Mallet signed a marriage contract before the Montréal notary Nicolas-Auguste Guillet de Chaumont, and they married at Notre-Dame the next day, when she was 21. The couple had eight known children. Five were baptized at Montréal between 1729 and 1736, and two of them, Marie Josèphe and Joseph, were buried on the same day in April 1733, aged two and seven months.

Of the survivors, Jean Baptiste Amable married Louise Legault at Montréal in 1752 and Marie Josèphe married Joachim Laframboise at Pointe-Claire in 1750. Marie Anne, baptized at Pointe-Claire on 11 September 1738, married Jean Baptiste Cardinal at Detroit in 1755. Two more daughters were baptized at Pointe-Claire in 1740 and 1742; both died in infancy. She died at Pointe-Claire on 8 March 1744, aged 37, and was buried there the next day. The Pointe-Claire priest wrote her name as Marie Josèphe Roy and gave her age as 30, about seven years short of the truth.
