Our Franch Canadian Ancestors, Thomas J. Laforest, Vol 5,pg 53-6114 March 1634, Larochelle, France
Zacharie Cloutier signed a contract of servitude that stipulated that Giffard
(Landlord of the contract) would pay the passage plus food and lodging in
Canada for Cloutier and one other family member for a period of three years.
After two years he would be allowed to send for the rest of his family.
Gifford agreed to give him a few head of livestock to get started farming,
plus 500 arpents of of land with the rights to build, hunt, fish, and trade
with the indians. Zacharie originally agreed to leave France with his 17 year
old son, but he changed his mind and decided to bring the whole family to
Canada. Zacharie was a master carpenter and by 22 July 1634 he was hard at
work on construction of a manor house for Lord Gifford as well as the parish
church and Fort Saint-Louis in Quebec.
As soon as the Cloutier family was settled down, Zacharie did not waste
any time getting organized. He had already begun to plan for the future of
his children and on 27 July 1636, he arranged for his daughter Anne to take a
husband. This was unusual for two reasons: The marriage contract with Robert
Drouin ws the first of it's kind in Canada and Anne was only ten and a half
years old! A stipulation in the agreement provided that Anne was to continue
to live at home with her parents until she was thirteen. The religious
ceremony took place when Anne was eleven but Robert had to content himself
with non-cojugal visits for two more years.
