Jean Delpee

• General Notes
  • The first "Perrizo" to arrive in the New World was the soldier Jean (John). His last name was generally written Delpue dit Parizo, (note: the French "dit" means "called"), and his descendants have adopted variants of both names, the first usually being Dalpé, and the second has become generally Perrizo in the U.S.A., but often Pariseau in Canada. By tradition he was born in the shade of the old
    cathedral of Rodez in South-central France. However, a search of the records there was unsuccessful, and he is more likely to have been born in one of the many villages of this diocese (in 1648). Rodez has one of the dozen or so great Gothic cathedrals of France and was an important
    trading center in the Middle Ages and later. The most usual spelling of the name there was Delpuech dit Parisot. Parisot is the name of a small village in the neighboring county of Tarn-and-Garonne - and possibly that is the origin of the family.
    
    By 1664, Jean must have moved to the La Rochelle area (south-west coast of France), since much of the recruiting of the Carignan-Salières regiment took place there, where the Garonne river reaches the Bay of Biscay. In 1665 he arrived in Canada as part of Captain Le Frédière's company, for the defense of Montreal. They landed at Quebec 18 June 1665 and spent the winter there, and went on to Montreal the following Spring.
    
    After his discharge in 1668, he married Renée Lorion and took up farming on the island of Montreal. Their first child Jeanne was baptized at Repentigny (1675) and the seven others at Pointe-aux-Trembles. As the History of Varennes continues:
    
    The 31 March 1679, Jean obtained the land and residence of the inheritance Belestre, which included the whole of the bottom end of the Isle of Montreal. In 1681, he had six arpents under cultivation, one ox and one rifle which he would soon need.
    
    It is known that the Five Nations (of the Iroquois) had taken up the tomahawk at the conclusion of the Franco-English wars. Particularly in the period 1689-92, the region suffered a whole chain of raids, which accounted for the lives of many of the colonists. The 2nd July 1690, the Iroquois arrived at the River of the Prairies (North side of Montreal Island), and twenty five inhabitants of Pointe-aux-Trembles
    assembled to meet the enemy under the command of M. de Columbet. Jean Delpué was in the group as was Pierre Payet called Saint-Amour, ancestor of the Payette family of Varennes [another ancestor of the Brien Desrochers line. The fatal defense took place in the fort of the Coulee Grou. The combat was deadly. 30 indians remained on the battlefield, and 15 Canadians perished: 9 fell in the battle - including Jean Delpué - the others died in captivity (burned by the Indians).
    
    The following year, 9 July 1691, Renée Lorion married Jean LeTellier at Pointe aux Trembles. However, she was immensely saddened a month later when two of her sons, Jean and Nicolas, were drowned in the St. Lawrence.
    
    [Note: Tanguay suggests that Jean died in 1701, not 1691, so Renée's sadness may have been at two separate times - not a great start to her second marriage though! Jean's birthday is probably wrong. Renée married a third time in 1706, still only 49 years old]
