Marie Madeleine Guyon (Du Buisson)

• General Notes
  • The origin of Marie Guyon, wife of François, is certain and is verified from abundant notorial documents. The fourth child of Jean Guyon and Mathurine Robin, she is born at Saint-Jean de Mortagne, in Perche, on the 18th of March 1624. We reproduce the results of research by P. Archange Godbout , his extract of the baptism record. Translated, it says; The 18th day of March 1624, Marie, daughter of Jean Guyon and Mathurin Robin was baptised. The Godfather was Jacques Robin and the Godmother was Marie Chahaigne who gave Marie her name.
    
    This excerpt of the registers of the parish Jean Saint of Mortagne, concerning the year of the birth for Marie Guyon, provides numerous contradictions emanating from different Québec administrative sources that indicate her birth between 1618 and 1626. The censuses of Château Richer in 1666 and of Bonsecours in 1681 show her as being 40 and 55 years of age respectively. Both would seem to verify a birth year of 1626. But, the census of Château Richer in 1667 records her age as 43 years which would confirm the official act of 1624. Finally, the burial records of Cap Saint Ignace in 1696 indicates she is 78 years of age which would make her year of birth 1618. These numerous contradictions all show that our ancestors gave less importance to indications of age as they did to the official baptismal act records. These records seem to have had priority over all other documentation.
    
    Married at age thirteen to François Bélanger, 1637.
