♂Quentin Hordouille

Quentin Hordouille (died 4 September 1625) was a master carpenter at Montreuil, east of Paris, who died in September 1625, seven weeks after the birth of his youngest son, and left a daughter of about three. He was probably the tenth great-grandfather of Floyd Amatus Delahorne (1922–2014), through his daughter Marie Hordouille (about 1621–1703).

Quentin was the son of André Hordouille and Madeleine LeNoir. On 15 November 1615 he married Marie Souhaitté at Montreuil. The couple had four children between 1617 and 1625: three sons, Pierre, Denis and Eustache, and a daughter, Marie. Eustache, the youngest, was born in July 1625, only seven weeks before his father’s death or burial on 4 September. Quentin is said to have died of the plague that struck Montreuil that year, and Marie Souhaitté died the same year. Their daughter Marie grew up to marry the wheelwright Simon Savard at Montreuil in 1644 and later crossed with her family to New France.

Notes

Sources for his life

His trade of master carpenter (maître charpentier), his death or burial on 4 September 1625 (“d/s 04-09-1625”), his marriage on 15 November 1615, his parents and the baptisms of the children (Pierre 15 March 1617, Denis 10 December 1619, Marie late 1621, Eustache 17 July 1625) come from the Fichier Origine, the register of the French origins of the settlers of New France, in the entry for his daughter Marie. That he and his wife died of the plague of 1625, and the year of her death, rest on WikiTree, a shared family tree, and not on a record cited here.

The line to Floyd Amatus Delahorne

The descent from his daughter Marie runs through her granddaughter Andrée Angélique Jeanne and Jean-Baptiste Godin, whom Stephen A. White’s Dictionnaire généalogique des familles acadiennes (p. 747) places among the children of Andrée and Gabriel Godin. Bona Arsenault’s list of their children does not name him, so the line is probable rather than proved.
