    Notes:

    Guillaume est le premier Fournier à venir s'établir en Nouvelle-France et à y laisser une importante descendance. Fils de Gilles Fournier et Noëlle Gageut, il est né vers 1619, originaire de la paroisse de Coulmer, de l'arrondissement d'Argentan, en Normandie.

    Le patronyme Fournier découle du mot four; fournier et fournaire sont des noms de métier, et c'est ainsi que l'on désignait jadis le boulanger.
    Le 20 novembre 1651, à Québec, Guillaume Fournier épouse Françoise Hébert, qui a treize ans, baptisée le 3 novembre 1638, fille de Guillaume Hébert et d'Hélène Desportes, et petite-fille de Louis Hébert , le premier colon de l'Acadie et du Québec.
    Guillaume Fournier, illettré ne sachant ni écrire ni signer, décide de brasser quelques affaires. Grâce aux héritages de son épouse, Guillaume devient seigneur, mais très revendicateur. Même l'intendant Talon l'a appris à ses dépens.
    Après 1661, il ne reste de la famille de Louis Hébert, que sa fille Guillemette, veuve de Guillaume Couillard, et sa petite-fille Françoise, l'épouse de Guillaume Fournier. Esprit revendicateur, pour ne pas dire retors, homme agressif et tenace jusqu'à l'obstination, Fournier ne se montre guère conciliant lorsqu'il s'agit de faire valoir ce qu'il croit être ses droits.
    Il est cité au moins une centaine de fois dans les procès-verbaux de la Prévôté et du Conseil. Ces procédures s'étalent sur une trentaine d'années. Sa belle sœur a l'occasion de se frotter à lui plus d'une fois. Il l'a fait aussi contre plusieurs contemporains pour des raisons qui nous semblent aujourd'hui anodines, mais très importantes, du temps de nos ancêtres habitués à défendre leurs moindres biens.
    Le couple est très prolifique : quinze enfants. Onze d'entre eux font souche, dont deux garçons et deux filles nous créent des liens.
    La première fille, Marie Fournier, née le 5 mai 1655 et baptisée le même jour, épouse à Québec le 17 février 1670, l'ancêtre des Blanchet(te), Pierre , fils de Noël Blanchet et de Madeleine Valet, de St-Omer de Rosières, de Santerre, en Picardie. Ils ont eu onze fils et quatre filles.
    Le premier garçon, Jean Fournier, né le 18 mars 1665, épouse vers 1687, au Cap St-Ignace, Marie Roy, veuve de Jean Gaudreau et fille de l'ancêtre Nicolas LeRoy et Jeanne Lelièvre. Jean Fournier a été seigneur en partie de la Rivière du Sud. Le couple a eu six fils et quatre filles, dont le fils Jean Fournier, né le 17 juillet 1692, à Cap St-Ignace, épouse le 23 novembre 1718,Marie-Françoise Dumas, née vers 1695, fille de Charles Dumas et de Françoise Rondeau. Leur fille, Geneviève-Salomé Fournier, née en 1725, devient l'épouse en 1745, de Joseph Bélanger, fils de François Bélanger et de Geneviève Cloutier.
    Le deuxième garçon, Simon Fournier, né le 27 avril 1667, épouse à St-Pierre de l'île d'Orléans, le 12 novembre 1691, Anne-Catherine Rousseau, fille de l'ancêtre Thomas Rousseau et Marie-Madeleine Olivier. Le couple a eu trois fils et sept filles, dont deux filles poursuivent le lien. La première, Marie-Madeleine Fournier, née le 10 février 1694, devient la deuxième épouse d'Étienne Fontaine, le 8 septembre 1715. Ladeuxième fille de Simon, Geneviève Fournier, née en 1698, épouse aussi en 1715, Pierre Gagné, dit Bellavance.
    Finalement la deuxième fille, Françoise Fournier, née le 30 avril 1671 et baptisée le 2 mai suivant à St-Thomas de Montmagny, signe dans le registre de St-Thomas de Montmagny, l'acte du premier mariage de cette paroisse, en devenant l'épouse le 21 avril 1686, de Jacques Boulet ou Boulay, né le 16 février 1664, à Château-Richer, fils de l'ancêtre Robert Boulet et de Françoise Grenier. Le couple a eu douze fils et deux filles.
    L'ancêtre, Guillaume Fournier décède le 25 octobre 1699, à l'âge d'environ quatre-vingts ans.
    Françoise Hébert survit plus de seize ans à son époux. Elle exerce la profession de sage-femme dans son milieu. On l'inhume le 16 mars 1716.

    Notes:

    WFT - Family Archives CD #75, Tree #0553: From James Carten - The Kirkes
    Many of us have heard the story of Helene Desportes, the first white child born in New France and how she left Quebec at a young age, returning to France when she was not much older. Inm many cases the only part of the story that we have been told is that she left, "when the Kirke brothers took Quebec". But what was this "taking" of Quebec and who were the Kirke brothers?
    As with most of the serious confrontations on this side of the Atlantic, this one was the result of wars waged in Europe. England claimed much of the same lands in the New World as France did. OIn Europe, France was waging all-out war on the Huguenots [Protestants]. It seemed that France and England were opposed to everything about each other and in 1627, war was formally declared. A British fleet was sent to help lift the siege of LaRochelle, the Huguenots stronhold. At the same time, there was much going onconcerning the two countries colonial holdings in the Americas.
    Gervais Kirke, a fervently loyal Scotsman an Presbyterian, had married a French woman and raised 5 sons in Dieppe, on the Chanel Coast about 50 miles north of Rouen. This patriarch had always taken interest in affairs concerning North America and his sons may have inherited this interest. Gervais Kirke's sons included David, Louis [refered to as Lewis in most English records], Thomas, john and James. David'd daughter, Mary, was also linked to the New World when she married the intrepid Canadian fur trader, Pierre-Esprit Radisson.
    In 1633, Champlain returned to Quebec as the King's commander. This meant he had official support from the French crown. The next year, the 13 yr. old Helene Desportes also returned, and accompanied by her aunt and uncle. Marguerite Langlois and Abraham Martin of the Plains of Abraham fame. That same year, at 14 years of age, Helene Desportes was married to Guillaume Hebert, with whom she had 3 children before being widowed at 19. At 20 years, Desportes married Noel Morin and had 12 more children including the first native born priest and first native born nun in Canada. She died in 1675, thirteen days before her fifty-fifth birthday. [Helene Desportes mother was Francios Langlois, sister of Marguerite].
