Marie Grandin & Jacques David

Marie Grandin

Marie Grandin (variants of the name: Grandrin, Granderie, Grandré, Grandin, Grandery) was born around 1646 in St-Andre-des-Arts, Paris, France. She was the daughter of Claude Grandry and Jeanne Doussin.[1]

Baptism

According to Fichier Origine, Marie was baptized on August 7, 1653, in Paris (Seine).[2] However, there is some confusion regarding her birth year. If she was born in 1653, she would have been only 9 years old at her marriage in 1662, which is highly unlikely. Therefore, the more plausible birth year is 1646, making her 16 at the time of her marriage.[2]

Migration to New France

Marie arrived in Canada (New France) in 1662.[2]

Marriage

On August 29, 1662, at the parish of La-Visitation-de-Notre-Dame in Château-Richer, New France, Marie Grandin (aged approximately 16) married Jacques David (aged approximately 30), son of Blaise-Didier David and Flavie (Fleurie) Morel.[3][1]
