Quatrin Boucher m. Jeanne Denis in St. Etienne, Chaix, dioc. Maillezais, Poitou, France. Their son Jean Boucher m. Marie Madeleine Pare on Nov 12, 1678 in Ste. Anne, Beaupre, Montmorency, Quebec. My line of descent moves with their daughter Elisabeth as shown below. The name Boucher is a rather famous one in Quebec. The area of Boucherville (which many of my lines descend from) was named for Pierre Boucher, who was born in Mortagne, Perche, France, which is in the area known today as Normandy. Pierre came to Canada in 1635 with his parents, Gaspard and Nicole (Lemaire) Boucher and his sisters Marie, Marguerite, and Madeleine (born at sea). When he was young, Pierre traveled extensively with Jesuit missionaries throughout New France and learned the native languages of Huron, Algonquin, Montagnais, and Iroquois. He was very well respected, having many responsibilities, including often acting as an interpreter. At age 22, he settled in the city of Trois-Rivieres, later becoming Governor of that same city.in 1653. He founded Boucherville after resigning as Governor in 1667. He died April 19, 1717 at the age of 95. He married twice in his life: first to a Huron native named Marie Ouebadinskoue but had no children with her, second to Jeanne Crevier in 1652 and the couple had 15 children. I do not know at this point whether or not Pierre and Quatrin Boucher were related, but the families were from the same area of Quebec, so it is possible.
Quatrin Boucher's descendents, in the form of the LaRoche family, came to the US and settled in North Dakota just before the census of 1870.
