Individual Note: Madeleine Marie Viau was born 11 June 1673 in Montreal . (Parents: Jacques Viau dit l'Esperance and Marie Madeleine Plouart). She died 7 May 1758 in Longueuil, Montreal, Quebec, Canada. She m. Nicolas Charron, in Longeuil 1703. (References: let ters from, Mary Boulay and Loretta D. Hoye (from Bouchervil Le repertory), C. Tanguay. Also shown as mother of children with Nicolas Charron from 1704 to 1730 including the reportoire of Baptisms of St Antoine De Pades, Longueuil, Montreal, Quebec.
Other info says she was born 19 Oct 1685, (Jacques 2m to Marie Therese Robin) In view of the number of children recorded to her and Nicolas Charron, (15), Bernice Gladys Sharrow (BGS) is inclined to go with the earlier date, 11 June 1673. However, that would make her 30 years old when married. If she were born in 1685, she would be 18 when married . (There is also confusing information in the Jette dictionary and the Drouin dictionary, as to Jacques' marriage to both Robin and Plouart.) BGS is also inclined to go with th e Boucherville repertory, as the primary source of information.
============
The Viau and L'Esperance Family text by Helene Andree Bizier:
Tradition has it that one of the Viau and Lesperance family ancestors was part of the Carginan Salieres Regiment and that Jacques Viau should be recognized as one of the many soldiers enlisted in these regiments under the surname o f Lesperance. Some associate him with the company of Baltha sar De La Flotte De La Freydiere and others with that of Roger De Bonneau De La Varenne. But these companies, which disembarked in Quebec at ten o'clock on the night of August 1 7, 1665, left the city on the following August 25 for the Richelieu, whereas Jacques Viau dit Lesperance was in Quebec on the following September 21, receiving confirmation and enrolling in the Mont Carmel brotherhood that same day. If he really was a member of this prestigious regiment, Viau dit Lesperance must have landed on September 12 at the same time as the new colonial administrators, Daniel Remi De Courcelle and Jean Talon. Like many other soldiers who arrived so late in the season, he could have been among those who were given the mission of protecting Quebec, Ile d'Orlea s, and the surrounding areas.
The ancestor was yet again masked by the nickname of Lesperance, when, in 1668, a list was drawn up of the soldiers in the regiment who wanted to settle in the country and enjoy the benefits extendedto them by the King. For one tract of land, a year of provisions, and a few other bonuses, Jacques Viau decided to stay. For two years, the registries have nothing to say about his existence; if the genealogist Robert Gareau had not uncovered a series of documents Dealing with a tract of land in Ange Gardien, we would not have known that the ancestor had considered settling in one of the oldest parishes in the country. However, by 1670, Viau had settled in Montreal and was described as a habitant there. He would not return to live in Ange Gardien. Land he owned near the parish church was takenoff his hands through two transactions, one dated September 13, 1674, with Charles du Tartre, and another dated September 25, with Mathurin Huot.
On January 14, 1670, Jacques Viau dit Lesperance, son of Julien Viau and Gratienne Forget, originally from the parish of Sainte Trinite De Clisson, in Brittany, promised to marry Madeleine Plouart. The bride to be was born around 1633 , in Pollet, Normandy, and was the daughter of Michel Plouart, "former ship captain," and Jeanne Fouquet. Madeleine Plouard was a fille du roi who arrived in 1667. The length of time between her arrival and her wedding has been explained by Silvio Dumas. On November 23, 1667, the young woman had promised herself to Jean Cosset (Cossette): "Since Cosset was in nohurry to follow up on this agreement, Madeleine Plouard brought him before the Prevote on December 31, 1667, alleging that 'the said defendant had boasted that she wanted nothing to do with him and was simply interested in his money.' The defendant was sentenced to marrying the plaintiff, but the two parties agreed to annul the marriage contract," on January 20, 1668. During September of the following year, Madeleine "Plouer" was confirmed in Quebec, and, after that date, became a Montreal resident. Her marriage to Jacques Viau was celebrated on January 21, 1670, in the presence of the most well known merchants in the country, Charles Le Moyne De Longueuil and Jacques Le Ber.
We can presume that it is through these two men that our ancestor took his first steps in the business world, where he would make a career for himself. In the autumn of 1673, not long after the birthof his second child, Jacques Viau dit Lesperance embarked for France. Why he left and how long he stayed are not known, but on January 1, 1674, before the La Rochelle notary, Jacques Savin, he signs acontract to borrow money. The lender was a building frame carpenter, Daniel Panier, who, in 1677, would have to take recourse in the courts of Ville Marie to be reimbursed in "moose hides." Still inFrance, but in Nantes this time, Viau took out a second loan on March 15, 1674, from the same debtor . Still in Nantes on March 28, he signed an agreement to act as Jeanne Daubigeon's proxy. Returning to New France toward the end of the summer, Viau sold his land in Ange Gardien and went back to Montreal, to initiate a series of transactions that would make him and his wife the owners of 80 arpentsof land at Longueuil and a house and small lot in Montreal, "across from the big church."
In 1683, Rene Viau dit Lesperance was living alone with four children ranging from 2 to 13 years of age. On November 14 of the following year, he married a 16 year old girl , Therese Robin, the daughter of Jean Robin dit Lapointe and Jeanne Charton. In 1685, he was 42 years old and debts in curred to Charles LeMoyne and Jacques Leber forced him to sell his property in Montreal. Was this the end of Viau's commercial endeavours It is not completely out of the question, since his name only appeared occasionally as a farmer on the Islets Verts and then, in 1716, as the owner of a concession on one of the islets. According to Robert Gareau, " the upper islet" and his property in Longueuil constituted one title and could not be sold separately." This fine land, the first that had been granted to him by Charles LeMoyne De Longueuil on March 12, 1675, made him one of the 16 original landholders in the LeMoyne seigneury, along with Pierre Boisseau, Adrien St Aubin, Louis Lamoureux , Jean Petit, Michel Dubuc, Jean Ronceray, Pierre Chicoine , Bertrand Lemartre, Jacques Bourdon, Charles Edeline, Jean Robin, Etienne Truteau, Francois Blot, Paul Benoil, and Guillaume Gendron.
Jacques Viau dit Lesperance had ten children with Therese Robin. She died on December 31, 1720, and was buried on the first day of 1721. Just over one year later, on September 14, 1723, Jacques Viau also passed on. His descendants married into the Robin, Charles dit Lajeunesse, Lussier, Bouteille dit Bonneville, Lavigne dit Brisetout, Petit dit Beau chemin, Charron, Monet dit Boismenu, Goguet, and Barabe families.
