Jean MATHIEU

Notes:

A native of Coulonges near Angomois, he established himself on the coast of Beaupré around 1660. His farm must have prospered because he is shown as having the luxury of a servant. Unfortunately for him his work was interrupted in 1666 as he was drafted into military service by the Governor. He was sworn in on Sept 13, 1666. On Sept 14, 1666 the Viceroy Tracy left Québec at the head of a small army consisting of 1000 soldiers of the Carignan regiment and 600 habitants and 100 Hurons and Algonquins. The expedition ravaged the Iroquois country (in the Northern part of the state of New York) returning to Québec on Nov 5, 1666. Two months later Jean Mathieu returned to his farm in Beaupré. In 1681, after four years of labo,r he was well established . He was the ancestor of the majority of Mathieu families in Québec principally around Beaupré .
