Jean Jolin, my 7th Great-Grandfather, was born in 1645 in the Parish of St. Francois-de-Sales in the city of Argentenay, Dept. of Yonne and ancient Province of Bourgogne, France. He was first married in France to Suzanne Moreau, date unknown. His parents are Robert Jolin and Marie Tavernier. No other data known.
Arriving in Quebec in 1690, he settled on the island of I'le d'Orleans.

What IS known is the date of his second marriage to Marie Boileau on April 4, 1690 at St. Francois, I'le d'Orleans. Born in 1649, she was the daughter of Rene Boileau and Joachine Serrant. Marie's first husband, Pierre Chavin m.1668, d. before 28 Nov. 1669 - one child, Anne Chavin. Second husband, Simon Chamberlan m. 28 Nov. 1669 - 8 children. So Marie had her share of children. She was from the Parish of St. Jean in the town of d'Arce, Dept. of Vienne and ancient Province of Poitou.
The following paragraph has just recently come to light, at least for me, from Mike (Michel) Jolin of Welland, Ontario Canada. nhmjolin@becon.org
I received this information April 26, 2011. He had Marie's name being "Marie Boileau de la Goupilliere". Thinking that this was a last name I had never before seen in my research, I asked Mike about it. His response was this:
"de la Goupilliere is a title; "de la" means "of the" , Goupilliere is a place... as in let's say "The Duke of Sussex" , thus her father was Rene Boileau, Sieur (Squire) de la Goupilliere; yes, she was from a family of nobles! Unfortunately, the family fell on hard times and the 2 daughters Marie and Marguerite left for Canada as "Filles du Roi" (Kings daughters): Marie Boileau is one of the noble women sent as Filles du Roi. She was the daughter of squire René Boileau, Sieur de la Goupillière, and Demoiselle Joachine Serrant. After losing both parents and watching her sister Marguerite leave for Canada in 1662, Marie most likely left France in 1666, since she can be found in the 1667 census as a servant of Pierre Denis de la Ronde at Québec City. [Gagné, pg. 97]
But,together Jean and Marie had one son, Simon Jolin, and that one son started a chain of descendants that we will trace to myself and beyond. Due to the overwhelming number of descendants, we will only concentrate on the direct line for now. Later, I may put ALL of the individuals known, but that is another journey. Jean died on December 25,1724, and Marie on July 21, 1721.
