Fifth first generations

FIRST GENERATION

Jehan Dumoys was a rope maker in Autretôt, a village in Haute Normandie, in 1555.  It was then a centre of Protestantism.  The first Celtic tribe of “le pays de Caux” were known as “les calètes”.  During the middle ages the region was colonized by the Vikings.

Jehan married Marguerite Berservoyse in Autretot (France), 27 November 1555.  They had a daughter, Marie in 1556 and Jehan who married Elisabeth Henze in 1596 and Adrien who married Catherine Pougnye in 1594.

SECOND GENERATION

Adrien Dumoys married Catherine Pougnye in Etoutteville (France) on 12 August 1594.  They had a son Jehan, who is the father of our ancestors in New France.

THIRD GENERATION

Jehan Dumay was born around 1595.  He lived in Dieppe.  His first wife was Miotte Lecombe.  She gave him a son:

• Etienne, in Dieppe around 1618.

Jehan’s second wife, Barbe Mauger, gave him 4 children.

• André, in Dieppe, 2 March 1628.
• Catherine, in Dieppe, 5 May 1629.
• Jean, in Dieppe, around1630.

JEHAN DUMAY PRESENCE IN NOUVELLE FRANCE

Jehan Dumay and his 3 sons: Etienne, André and Jean, sailed from Dieppe in 1643 for “la Nouvelle France”.  Catherine and Laurent remained forever in France.

Jehan’s presence is testified by his purchase of land on the coast of Beaupré which he later abandoned in 1646.  On January 1, 1648 he signed as a witness to the wedding of his son Etienne in Quebec.

Jehan was granted 50 acres in Cap Rouge in the Seigneurie of Gaudarville that he abandoned in 1650 and returned to France after having settled his sons.

FOURTH GENERATION

Etienne was born around 1626 in Dieppe.  He sailed with his father and 2 brothers to Nouvelle France in 1643.

He married Françoise Morin in Quebec on 28 January 1648.  Following a short stay in Ville Marie in 1649 he returned to the area of Quebec.  He later obtained a concession in Cap Rouge, where he lived for 40 years.

Etienne died on January 25, 1697.  The couple had 9 children.

André was born on February 3, 1628 in Dieppe.

He first arrived in Quebec with his father and 2 brothers.  He moved to Ville Marie around 1649 where he married Marie Chedville on January 17, 1654.  Maisonneuve granted him land near the river St-Pierre in Pointe Saint-Charles.  He later settled in Pointe-aux-Trembles because of reoccurring danger by the Iroquois Indians.  André died in Pointe-aux-Trembles on July 17, 1711.  The couple had 12 children.

Jean was born February 6 1633 in Dieppe.  He sailed with his father and 2 brothers to Nouvelle France in 1643.

Being the youngest of Jehan Dumay’s sons, he was waiting for the opportunity to go to Ville Marie.  The opportunity came in 1653 with the arrival of the “Grande Recrue”.  On Novembre 9, 1954 Jean marries Jeanne Védie, in Ville Marie (Montréal).

Jean is his brother’s André neighbor by the river Saint-Pierre, the danger created by the Iroquois pushes him to return near Quebec at the end of 1662 with his wife and first 3 children.  Jean will be granted land on the shores of Lauzon in 1666 and later he will have a stone house built in Quebec on the road Cul-de-Sac in 1689.  Jean died on July 3, 1708.  The couple had 13 children.
