Biography

Marguerite Biré migrated from France to New France.

Marguerite was born in La Rochelle, France about 1616 to Francois Biré and Marie Davignon. She married Mathurin Roy on Jan. 27, 1637 at Ste-Marguerite, La Rochelle. He was the son of Mathurin Roy and Julienne Dugas. They had at least three children born in La Rochelle, France: Magdeleine, born around 1638, married on 19-02-1662 with Jean Aramy, then Arramy (Mathias and Louise Bougard); Stephen, 07-08-1641 and Marguerite, 08-12-1650. All three of these children came to New France. Mathurin Roy and his wife, Marguerite both came to New France, Mathurin about 1647 and Marguerite about ten years later. Mathurin died before the 1681 census and Marguerite died between March and Nov. 1675.

Marguerite Biré lived
in Canada, Nouvelle-France.

The 700fillesduroy website (see URL below) has this interesting story about Marguerite BIRÉ. They have the following heading: "About Marguerite BIRÉ mother-in-law of Marguerite de NAVARRE". (belle-mère translates as either step-mother or mother-in-law)

In the year 1664, a woman named Marguerite Bire, residing in Quebec City, broke her leg and as the bone was fractured in four places, it was impossible to put it back in place, and the poor woman was reduced to the saddest infirmity. She remained eight months in this state without being able to walk, and without any hope of cure, in the opinion of the doctor. She vowed, if she obtained her cure, to visit every year a church or a chapel dedicated to St. Anne. On the day of her feast, in 1664, she was transported to the church of Beaupré. During Mass, at the moment of elevation, she suddenly felt relieved, and to communion, putting aside her crutches, she approached the holy table. Someone came running to support her: "Leave, leave," she said, "I'll go well by myself, Good Saint Anne strengthened me, she did a miracle for me. Let's give thanks to God: it's been eight months since I've done that. " Since that time, not only did she no longer use her crutches, but even she was able to attend to all the occupations of her household. True to his promise, she is seen every year until her death, to be part of the crowd of stakes. source: * http://www.migrations.fr/700fillesduroy_4.htm You may also view the official text of this miracle at this website, which has a complete digital version of the book, "The Miracles of Beaupre".
