Nicolas Rivard entered into for passage to New France March 6, 1648. To see copy of contract see Rivard Forum.

In the earliest documents of Trois-Rivières, dating back to 1651, Nicolas Rivard was referred to with the title “Sieur de la Vigne.” Nicolas, oldest son of Pierre Rivard, was the first of the family to arrive in New France in 1648. Nicolas’ mother, Jeanne Mullard, owned a small piece of land in Tourouvre, named “Clos de La Vigne.” This LaVigne location exits in Tourouvre to this day, where one of our cousins visited and kindly provided us with a picture of a local road sign. Nicolas’ oldest son Nicolas and youngest son Antoine also used the dit name LaVigne, but the dit name was not routinely used after the first three generations. While most families in this line retained Rivard, we have recently discovered numerous families in Quebec that dropped Rivard and kept Lavigne as surname. Many of the Lavigne families were from the Nicolet area.”
