    The Deniaus The Deniaus are a late addition to this story and do not strictly follow the pattern of the Bouchers, Jouberts and Hus (Beauchemins). For one thing, they began their time in New France in Montréal, whereas the others settled originally on the north bank near Quebec City. For another, their migration is not as closely tied to the Richelieu River. But the family was in St-Jean-sur-Richelieu by 1810. Montréal was first settled in 1642 when Maisonneuve arrived to establish Ville-Marie. For a while the community grew despite frequent raids by the Iroquois, but by 1651 there were only 50 people left and the situation was desperate. Maisonneuve hastened back to France to try to recruit more settlers. He said that if he could not sign up at least 100, Montréal would have to be abandoned. After a difficult year of trying to enlist people, he returned in the summer of 1653 with 90 new settlers. This group became known as the “big recruitment” [La Grande Recrue]. In our earlier article “Montréal Pioneers,” we told the story of three other ancestors who came in this group: Paul Benoit, Jean Valiquet and Jeanne Merrin. We have recently discovered two more direct ancestors who made the same trip in 1653: Jean Deniau and Antoine Baudry. Jean Deniau and Helene Dodin Jean Deniau signed on at the French port of St-Nazaire in April 1653 as a “scieur de long,” the important skill of sawing logs into planks. The fact that he was given an advance of 114 livres, well above the average amount, is further evidence of his perceived value to the community. In January 1664, Jean Deniau married Helene Dodin, who had come over as a King’s Daughter, probably in late 1663. The marriage took place in Montréal. In June 1666, he received a concession of 12 arpents of land in what is now downtown Montréal. It was described as “toward the mountain,” beginning at the end of land belonging to the heirs of Blaise Juillet. Since we know exactly where Juillet’s land was, we know that Deniau’s land was due north, near the entrance of today’s McGill University. He sold it in 1670 and apparently moved across the St. Lawrence River to Boucherville around 1673. Jean Deniau and Helene Dodin had six children. The four who were known to have married, including our ancestor Pierre Deniau, were all married in Boucherville. Sadly, both Jean Deniau and his wife Helene Dodin were killed by Iroquois in Boucherville on 12 Aug 1695. Pierre Deniau and M. Anne Cesar Lagardalette Pierre Deniau was born in Montréal in 1670. In the 1681 census of Boucherville, Pierre 10, is living at home with his parents and 5 siblings. In 1698 Pierre married Marie Anne Cesar Lagardalette in Boucherville. But first a word about her ancestry. Marie Anne Cesar was the daughter of a French soldier, Francois Cesar Lagardalette, who immigrated to New France sometime before 1675 and married a King’s Daughter named M. Anne Delestre. They lived on the south bank of the St. Lawrence at Sorel for about four years, perhaps in connection with his military service. Our ancestor Marie Anne Cesar Lagardalette was baptized at Sorel in May 1678. Three years later the family was in St-Ours, a little ways further up the Richelieu River from Sorel. By December 1681 they had moved to Boucherville, on the south bank of the St.Lawrence opposite Montreal. Marie Anne Delestre died in Boucherville in 1685. Francois remarried and in 1695 the family was living in Boucherville, the same year that Pierre Deniau’s parents were murdered by Iroquois in Boucherville. Pierre Deniau and M. Anne Cesar Lagardette went to Sorel about the same time the land there had been awarded to Pierre Saurel, a Carignan officer, and about the same time that Paul Hus settled there. Then they moved to Boucherville. They had 12 children, all born between 1701 and 1723 in Longueuil, the next community upstream from Boucherville on the south bank of the St.Lawrence across from Montréal. Their second child was our ancestor Jacques Deniau. Jacques Deniau and M. Anne Thibault Leveillé Jacques Deniau was born 9 February 1703 in Longueuil. In 1725 he went to Riviére-des-Prairies to marry Mary Anne Thibault Leveille, daughter of Pierre Thibault Leveille. Her father was a soldier who had arrived from France and married Catherine Baudry. Catherine was the daughter of “Grande Recrue” arrival Antoine Baudry and his Fille de Roi wife, Catherine Guyard. Jacques and Marie Anne settled on the north side of Montréal Island at Rivière-des-Prairies. Around 1750, this large family moved further south and east to St-Philippe-de-Laprairie, a little closer to the Richelieu River. Their 7th child, born 28 Aug 1736, was our ancestor Charlotte Deniau. Charlotte Deniau and John (Jean-Baptiste) Anderson The fact that Anderson is referred to both as John and as Jean-Baptiste leads me to believe that he was not French. The U. of Montreal datadase has no idea who he is or where he came from, but he is listed in PRDH as an immigrant. He was in the St-Philippe area around 1765 when he met and married Charlotte Deniau. They had 11 children, 10 certainly born in Laprairie, including our ancestor Marie Josephte Anderson, born in St-Philippe 25 Jun 1774. Marie Josephte Anderson and Jean-Baptiste Lussier We don’t know how Marie Josephte, of St-Philippe, met Jean-Baptiste Lussier of St-Denis-sur-Richelieu. But we do know that by this time the family was very mobile, to say the least. We do not know where they were married, but their first child, Marie Archange, was born on Lake Champlain in 1793 and baptized in Kamouraska, where the family apparently lived for at least 4 years, because their second child, Marie Josephe, was born there in 1797. It should be noted that Kamouraska, on the south side of the St. Lawrence River about 90 miles east of Quebec City, is a long way from Lake Champlain. It is a good 300 miles by water from Lake Champlain. Kamouraska was a center of eel fishing. The birthplace of their next two children, Cecile and Louis Jerome, born in 1800 and 1802 is not known. The 5th child, Jean-Baptiste, was born on Lake Champlain about 1803. Cecile, Louis and Jean-Baptiste were all baptized conditionally together at Marieville, QC on 30 Sept 1806. Their mother, Marie Josephte Anderson was present, but the father J-B Lussier was not. The godmother of M. Cecile was her aunt, J-B’s sister, M. Cecile, who had been married in 1791 to François Côté on the Bay of Ceradac on Lake Champlain by Judge Platt, the founder of Plattsburg, NY. The fact that J-B’s sister was in NY in 1791, suggests the tee, too, might have been there that early. In these Marieville baptismal records, J-B is identified as a farmer at LaColle, a small place on the Richelieu River about 3 or 4 miles north of the border. But since there was no real border at the time, this is not inconsistent with being established in NY. Their daughter, our ancestor Charlotte Senecal, was born around 1808 in New York near Lake Champlain and baptized at St-Luc, Canada, the nearest church, in 1810. We will pick up this story again in 1824, when Charlotte Senecal Lussier meets and marries Charles Millet dit Beauchemin at St-Cyprien de Napierville on 12 Oct 1824.
