FM01 Leads to Marie Armand Filles a Marier. Most people are familiar with the story of the King's Daughters or Fille Du Roi; the state sponsored program that brought almost 800 single women to Quebec in the early days of the French settlement, but what is not so well known is the story of the Fille a Marier. Between 1634 and 1662; 262 young ladies braved the elements to begin an uncertain future in the backwoods of Canada. When the Company of 100 Associates began their settlement scheme, their plan of recruiting only families proved to be too costly, so instead they signed on single men; tradesman and labourers; who would be indentured for three years. However, this meant that more than 80% of the colonists were men, so even if they decided to stay at the end of their term, there was little hope of them starting a family, unless they chose a Canadian girl. But, since her family would never allow her, or her children, to leave their village; the company directors needed to avoid this from happening. So instead, they began recruiting "marriagable young girls", who would first sign a contract in France and then be given passage and a small dowry to become the wife of a Quebec settler. You might wonder why these young girls (many under 16), would risk the dangers and hardships, which by now most of France were well aware of; but believe it or not; for many it was the best option. At the time, marriages were arranged, so if the girl's family did not have the means to provide a sutable dowry, her only option was to become a nun, if she was Catholic; or marry beneath her station. In the case of the young Filles a Marier, though a marriage contract must be signed before departure, she had every right to refuse the union, once she met her husband-to-be. As a matter of fact, many of them did just that, and were provided safe passage home. |

Marie Armand aka Herman, Harmans, Harmens, Arnaud,David Born 1638 in Rouen, Normandie Wife of Guillaume David — married 1662 in Trois-Rivières, Canada, Nouvelle-Francemap Mother of Jacques David, Anne David and Madeleine David Died 1678 after about age 40 Marie Armand was confirmed on August 10, 1659 in Quebec (ND) by the bishop of Petrée, she was then given 21 years of age.[1] An act of 1683 before Séverin Ameau tells us that Guillaume David had once had a concession around Trois-Rivières. It is then awarded to another. In April 1663 Guillaume received a concession from the Jesuits in Sillery, route St-Ignace. According to the baptisms of their children, they are already in the Quebec region since at least November 1659. They cannot be found on the censuses of 1666 and 1667. A count made in 1668 tells us that Guillaume was then in the seigniory of Autray, which is opposite Sorel.[3] Known children / Known children: Marie Armand & Guillaume David 1 Jacques David, baptized October 23, 1657 Trois-Rivières; married @ 30 years with Catherine Lhuyssier October 11, 1690 Boucherville 2 Anne David, born 29 Nov. 1659 bapt. 30 Quebec (ND); buried December 21, 1659 Quebec (ND) @ 8 days (sic) 3 Marguerite David, born April 12, 1661 bapt. 13 Quebec (ND); marriage contract with Pierre Montarras 1674 (Adhémar contract), seems cancelled; nun Congregation of Notre-Dame in Montreal (Sister Saint-Pierre) 1698 according to Jetté; *** this is uncertain, see Migrations: Pierre Montarras, Froment company of the Carignan-Salières regiment 4 Marie Anne David, born December 15, 1663 baptized. 16 Quebec (ND); marriage contract with Pierre Girardeau dated 8 Dec. 1674 before Antoine Adhémar canceled January 14, 1675 + Madeleine David, born & baptized.

May 1st Sorel[5][2] Some sites attribute two other children to them, boys born around 1672 and 1675, married in New England. Others say that Guillaume obtained a concession in Sorel around 1674 from Sieur Pierre de Saurel, no deed of concession has been found to date. Jetté tells us that around 1677, Guillaume David and his family would have migrated to New Holland (New York)[2] It would rather be after March 1678, the date of the baptism of Marie Angélique. He may have moved to work as an interpreter, though this is not known for sure. We do not know the date or place of death of Marie Armand. It is possible that she returned to France with Rochelle, as evidenced by a contract drawn up 26 October 1678 by notany Le Pailleur.
