Hello everyone, I was wondering about that too. I saw that information in an online family tree but it seems a bit simplified. I have Marguerite Sediot born in 1643 so the April 4, 1643 marriage contract was for a newborn infant. Then in 1655 she was 12 which I presume was the acceptable age. It is kind of awkward because Marguerite Boissell was also born in 1643 so she was around 16 when they had the affair. I guess he liked them young... The wording of the information implies he was banished for the sale of liquor but from what I saw it looked like he was banned for the affair. Does anyone know where there would be online copies of the 1643 marriage contract and any documents on the 1660 trial and/or banishment? -----Original Message----- From: Paul L LeBlanc via <quebec-research@rootsweb.com> To: quebec-research <quebec-research@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sun, Aug 24, 2014 11:01 pm Subject: Re: [Q-R] Jean Aubuchon (1632 - 1685) Found this from Father John Maybe a few more details -----Original Message----- From: JHostage <JHostage@aol.com> Sent: Tue, Aug 21, 2007 7:10 pm Subject: Re: [Q-R] Assinated in Bed? Hi Dolly, If I may quote a message sent some time ago by Fr. John that I saved in my FTM Notes: "Cousin Renée's citation from "La vie libertine ... " tells us a part of "the story". The Aubuchon Family website tells, as the news commentator might say "the rest of the story". A marriage contract between Jean Aubuchon and Marguerite Sedilot was signed at Trois-Rivieres on April 4, 1643. Marguerite was 11 years old at the time. The marriage was rehabilitated at Montreal on April 12, 1655. Jean is said to have led a rather scandalous life. On June 17, 1660, he was found guilty of an adulterous relationship with Marguerite Boissel, the wife of Étienne Blanchard, surgeon of Montreal and was fined 600 pounds payable to the husband. He entered the fur trade and became a prosperous merchant. Some of his profits were associated with the sale of liquor to the Native Americans, for which he was arrested and convicted several times. Based on this behavior he was banished from Montreal and moved to Trois-Rivieres, and later returned to the Island, settling at Longue-Pointe. He became the church warden at Notre Dame, and gave 300 livres to the parish for Masses to be said in perpetuity. While away from his home in Longue-Pointe on busine in Montreal, Jean Aubuchon was found dead of knife wounds in the bed of the townhouse where he was staying, on December 3, 1685. Marguerite Sedilot, his wife and mother of his 13 children, accused Jacques Paillerault, her alleged lover, of the murder. After a trial which lasted about three years, and having found no witnesses to the act, a judgment was rendered requiring Jacques to pay the expenses of the suit, and sentencing him to time served.
