Concession de l'arrière-fief Dubuison dans Beauport le 14-3-1634, hérité par son fils Jean
Robert Giffard was from the area of Tourouvre. He had been awarded the seigneurie of Beauport in Québec. He needed the most skilled and talented craftsmen he could find to help build his town. By the same token, he wanted men that were interested in farming the land and building a community--and not so interested in fur trading. He approached Jean Guyon the master mason and Zacharie Cloutier the master carpenter with his proposition.
Zacharie and Jean worked to fulfill their end of the bargain. They helped to build the parish church and the governor's mansion of Québec. They planted crops. They built a community house in Beauport. On 3 February 1637, Zacharie was awarded the arriére-fief of "La Cloutiére"; on the same day his good friend Jean Guyon was given his own as well, the arrière-fief of "DuBuisson". An arriére-fief is a subdivision of a seigneurie. Arriére-fiefs were rarely given. And the awarding of these did not go smoothly. While Thomas LaForest eludes to "certain boundary disputes" with no names mentioned, the Dictionary of Canadian Biography claims that he was "brought into conflict with Jean Guyon".But both Zacharie and Jean found themselves in conflict with seigneur Robert Giffard. The men were considered "vassals", and were subordinates of Mr. Giffard. As such, they were expected to pay homage to him. Meaning bowing and scraping, on their knees no less. Jean and Zacharie were proud men. Masters of their respective crafts. They did not see Giffard as a superior; they felt they were his equal.
GUYON, Jean (Mason & Surveyor) with son Jean departed Mortagne 1634. His wife Mathurine ROBIN with their children Simon, Marie, Claude, Denis, & Nichel departed Mortagne 1636. Daughter Barbe departed Mortagne 1652 with her husband Pierre PARADIS & their 7 children. Jette p548.
