Biography

Antoinette Grenier migrated from France to New France.

She was the daughter of Claude Grenier and Catherine Grenier.

Birth

Date: Abt 1634

Place: St-Laurent,Paris,France^[4][5]

Antoinette was one of the women called 'filles à marier' (women to be married), who were brought to the colony by various people, often by the companies that traded here; the difference between them and the 'Filles du roy' was that they received no crown subsidy. There were around 200 such women brought from 1634 to 1663. In 1663 the Filles du roy program began, and lasted until 1673.

Note: The first Bernier to marry in New France, Jacques and his bride Antoinette were married in governor Jean de Lauzon's mansion. Father Jerome Lalemant officiated at the ceremony. The couple settled on Ile d'Orleans; courage and bravery were required in those days as Iroquois Indians were constantly raiding settlements.

On March 19, 1659, Jacques became a land tenant on the seigneurie of Jacques Gourdeau and acquired more land two years later. In 1667 through hard work he cultivated 25 acres of land, had eight heads of livestock and had three workers at his service. At this time five children were already born.

In 1673 the constant threat of Iroquois raids prompted him to move; he sold his land on Ile d'Orléans and purchased a piece of land 9 acres wide and 40 acres deep from the Chavigy widow in Cap-St-Ignace, becoming the first settler in that region. His home served as the first chapel there. In 1684, the prosperous settler becomes a Seigneur through the purchase of land at Pointe-aux-Foins.

In 1960 a monument was unveiled in Cap St-Ignace in honor of Jacques Bernier with some 2,000 Bernier descendents in attendance.
