Biography

Jeanne Millet or Millette, wife of Guillaume Langlois, was the mother of Noël Langlois, a pioneer in Canada, New France.[1]

Like her son, Jeanne Millet was probably from the area of Saint-Léonard des Parcs, near Alençon in Normandy. Her baptism and marriage acts have not survived and her parents are unknown.

She married Guillaume Langlois, probably about 1603, and they had one known child, Noël Langlois.

She never went to New France and probably died in Saint-Léonard-des-Parcs. Her son's marriage act makes no mention of her; her date of death is not known.

Incorrect relationships

Jeanne Millet's family has often been conflated with that of Nicolas Millet, a pioneer from Beauce. France. Some genealogies even make her the daughter of Jacques Millet and Jeanne Vincent and thus Nicolas's sister, in spite of the age difference (Nicolas Millet was born in 1628 and more than 20 years younger than Jeanne's son). There is no reason to suppose a connection between the two families and their having lived in different French regions make such a connection unlikely.

No reliable source supports a connection between Guillaume Langlois and Jeanne Millet's familt and Maguerite Langlois who married Abraham Martin dit l'Écossais about 1615. Jeanne Millet cannot have been Marguerite's mother because the two were about the same age and lived in different regions.

No reliable source supports a connection between Guillaume Langlois and Jeanne Millet's family and Marie Langlois who married Jean Juchereau Demore in 1621. Marie Langlois's father was Nicolas Langlois.

Biographie

Jeanne Millet ou Millette, épouse de Guillaume Langloist, était la mère de Noël Langlois, pionnier en Nouvelle-France[2].

Jeanne Millet est probablement originaire de Saint-Léonard-des-Parcs, lieu d'origine de son fils, ou des environs. Son acte de baptême et son acte de mariage n'ont pas subsisté et ses parents ne sont pas connus.

Elle épouse Guillaume Langlois, probablement avant 1605. Noël Langlois est leur seul enfant connu.[3]

Elle n'est jamais allée en Nouvelle-France et est probablement morte à Saint-Léonard des Parcs, à une date inconnue. Les mariages de son fils Noël ne la mentionnent pas.

Fausses connexions

La famille de Jeanne Millet est souvent confondue avec celle de Nicolas Millet, un pionnier originaire de la Beauce, France. Certaines généalogies font même de Jeanne la fille de Jacques Millet et Jeanne Vincent et donc la soeur de Nicolas, en dépit de leur différence d'âge (Nicolas Millet est né en 1628, plus de 20 ans après le propre fils de Jeanne). Rien ne permet de supposer un lien de parenté entre les Millet de Normandie et ceux de Beauce, et la distance entre les deux régions rend une telle parenté très improbable.

Aucune source fiable permet de relier la famille de Guillaume Langlois et de Jeanne Millet à Maguerite Langlois qui épousa Abraham Martin l'Écossais autour de 1615. Jeanne Millet avait à peu près le même âge que Marguerite et ne vivait pas dans la même région.

Aucune source fiable permet de relier la famille de Guillaume Langlois et de Jeanne Millet à Marie Langlois qui épousa Sieur Jean Juchereau Demore le 1 juin 1621. Marie Langlois était la fille de Nicolas Langlois.

I came back after a couple years to check and it seems there have been no developments since this profile was taken over by Project France and the comments from 2019, and wanted to remark only that I sincerely hope that someone can give it some attention. More and more of the sources are available and searchable online. I hate to see so many women without their family origins documented, when we have their family names and general area of origin. I hope to join the project when I get more proficient in the language.

We gave it all the attention we could. Surviving records from the time Jeanne Millet lived are extremely rare. There are none in my case. I have many ancestors and ancestresses who were born later than her, lived close to my home, and still it's been impossible to trace their families. This is the reality of genealogical research when dealing with families that are not noble/notable/affluent.
The ancestors suggested by Dan below are fairly similar to the parents of Nicolas Millet: Jean/Jacques Millet and Jeanne/Unknown Vincent. It has been previously established that Jeanne Millet and Nicolas Millet are not related. Millet-21 was previously set up as Jacques Millet's father (thus, Nicolas Millet's grandfather) and further conflated with the family of Pierre Mallet, a pioneer from Brittany, being set up as the son of duplicates of Pierre Mallet's parents.
Interesting Dan,

Could you cite your source?

It is of wildly practice for women in Canada - even in New-France time - to be refered to their husband's family name on a current basis, as Mrs .....! This is why I add the husband's name as OLN.

The LEGAL name however, was always their LNAB.

Quelle est votre source pour cette information:

Elle n'est pas la mère de Maguerite Langlois qui épousa Abraham Martin "dit" l'Écossais autour de 1615.

This new information has been provided by a necessary duplicate merge. More research could be done to check accuracy.

Like all the married women in France in that period, she did not adopt her husband's name (Langlois) at her marriage. It should be removed ("Other Last Name(s)") for historical accuracy.

NOTE:

Noël Langlois (1606-1684) n'a jamais porté le surnom de "Boisverdun". C'est son fils Jean Langlois dit Boisverdun (1641-1687) qui avait pris ce surnom, emprunté de un de ses amis. Voir les nombreuses notes sur ce sujet énoncées auparavant. Erreur corrigée sur ce profil.

Noël Langlois (1606-1684) never used the surname of "Boisverdun". His son Jean Langlois dit Boisverdun (1641-1687) used it, borrowed from one of his friends. See numerous notes published before on the subject. Error corrected on this profile.

I fixed the bio and removed the parents, who belong to the namesake.

Placed under project management and PPP to avoid re-connection of incorrect parents. Her only known child is Noël, so the others will be disconnected as well.

this woman has been confused with a namesake so removed dob, most of the bio data is speculative at best,

The Jeanne Millet mentioned in the linked Fichier Origine (http://fichierorigine.com/recherche?numero=242923) is probably a totally unrelated person... Jeanne Millet, wife of Guillaume Langlois, was probably born between 1570 and 1585 in Normandie, at or near Saint-Léonard-des-Parcs, which is quite a long way from Loiret.
