Oinville, Michelle. Daughter of the deceased Pierre and the deceased Antoinette Bonnard from St. Paul's Parish in Paris. Born around 1647. Arrived in 1668, with goods estimated at 400 French Pounds. Died on November 20, 1700 at the Hotel-Dieu Hospital (this isn't a hotel and it IS still standing!) in Quebec City. She did not know how to write.
Marriage 1: Contract taken out on October 21, 1668 in Trois-Rivieres with Nicolas Barabe (servant), born around 1647, died between May 5, 1676 and August 23, 1676. He did not know how to write. The couple lived in Trois-Rivieres. Five children.

She went on to marry two more times, but I think that these are superflous because you'd be interested in the Barabe, right? If you want info about the other two marriages, let me know.

The next one is an interesting one!

Valade, Marie. Daughter of Andre (messenger) and Sarah Cousseau dite Laviolette (ahhh... the violet girl!) from the St.-Nicolas parish in La Rochelle. Born around 1649 and baptised as a Protestant. Arrived in 1663. Her cousins Jean Normandin, his wife Marie Desmaisons and their child Mathurin came before her, along with her uncle Pierre Cousseau and her aunt Marie. Later her brothers Guillaume and Jean joined her. She died in Montreal on September 1, 1719. Note from Todd: Based on the fact that they came from La Rochelle and the fact that she was baptised a Protestant, I would posit with fairly good certainty that she was of Huguenot lineage.

Vitard, Louise. Daughter of the deceased Robert (bourgeoise) and Louise Paveret, of the St-Sulpice Parish, Paris. She was born around 1649. She arrived in 1671 with 600 French Pounds of personal goods. She died after June 15, 1715. She knew how to write. Note from Todd: This one was obviously wealthy!
Marriage: Contract of marriage taken out on December 12, 1671 in Sillery with Guillaume Denevers (Solicitor of the Lordship of Lotbiniere), baptised August 25, 1654 and deceased after June 6, 1715. He knew how to write. Eight Children.

Here's information on Jeanne LeGendre.

Marriage: Contract of marriage taken out on March 12, 1669 in Cap-de-la-Madeleine with Claude Sauvageau (habitant), baptised May 10, 1643, deceased after April 19, 1694. She didn't know how to write. The couple lived in Grondines. Two kids.
