360 Noel was the ship's navigator when Seigneur Robert Giffard or Gifford brought his groups of colonists to Quebec

Noel Langlois, a courageous fisherman and pilot was born in France in 1606; he settled at Beauport in 1634 and married Francoise Garnier at Quebec on 25 July 1634. They had ten children. Noel is the first ancestor of this large family that is known today under the names of Langlois and Langlais. After the death of his first wife on 1 November, 1665, he married Marie Crevet, widow of Robert Caron on 27 July, 1666, at Chateau-Richer. Noel died at Beauport, on 15 July, 1684.

The following are extracts from French Canadian & Acadian Review Vol 9:

P 208-209 Noel Langlois was a native of Saint-Leonardes-Parcs, Canton of Courtomer, arrondissement of Alencon, Department of Orne. This village is in Normandy, close to its boundary with Perche. Actually it is nearer to Mortagne than it is to Alencon...... It has been said that Noel Langlois was a pilot. This is unlikely, since he could neither read nor write. However, it can be said that he was a ship's carpenter, a trade that his sons Jean Langlois dit Boisverdun and Jean Langlois dit Saint-Jean both practiced. As was the custom, they undoubtedly learned this trade from their father.

In 1665, when Noel Langlois was 59, his wife was gravely wounded. In anticipation of her death, the couple on 31 Oct, 1665, made donations of their property to their two youngest sons. Francoise Garnier died, as expected, and was buried on 1 Nov, 1665.

In the following year, there was a family dispute over the inheritance of the 3 sons of Noel Langlois. The issue arose over the ownership of property on the Isle of Orleans. In 1663, Nicholas Juchereau de Saint-Denys cosiegneur of the fief La Chavallerie on the Isle of Orleans, son of Jean Juchereau de Maur, granted a concession of this fief to the two youngest sons of Noel Langlois. However, upon the marriage of his oldest son, Jean Langlois dit Boisverdun, to Francois-Charlotte Bellanger, in 1665, Noel Langlois purported to give this property to the young couple. This was followed by the donation of the Beauport property to the two youngest sons. The dispute was settled according to the intentions of Noel Langlois, and the property on the Isle of Orleans went to Jean Langlois dit Boisverdun.

On 17 July, 1666, Noel Langlois married Marie Crevet, widow of Robert Caron, whom she had married in 1637 at Quebec. Noel Langlois died on July 14, 1684, at age 78 yrs 
Langlois-dit-Boisverdun, Noël (I4687)
 
361 Note from Anne Cullen from 2000:
Vivien was born in North Bay. She was the youngest of eight children of Cholestic Girouard (teacher) and John Connolly (blacksmith). Vivien was educated at a boarding school. Her mother had died in 1920 so Vivien stayed home to care for her father. She married Lew Cullen in Ottawa in 1932. The couple lived in New Edinburgh for a couple of years, until they moved into 124 noel Street, the former home of Lucy and Barney Cullen. In our household, my grandfather Connolly, and my mother's sister, Rita shared the home with us. My mother had a lot of responsibility as my father was gone to BC during the war. Vivien bore 3 children Bernard, Anne and Trevor.
Vivien was homemaker, an excellent chef, and loved to visit friends late in the evening when her children were settled. She developed a bowel cancer which caused her death on April 25, 1950. 
Connolly, Anna Vivien (I1001)
 
362 Note from Mark Cullen. In 1998, my father told about the McClements sisters' effort to get brides for their brothers Albert and Patrick. Mary, Lucy and Bea had advertised in England for mail-order-brides. As a result, Annette Little and Mary Ryan arrived in Ottawa. How they decided who would get whom my father did not recall. In any event, Annette married Albert and Mary got Patrick. These were depression years and the Alberts were installed in Ottawa while Mary went to the farm in Buckingham. Arthur Daley got Albert a job as a street conductor. McClements, Albert Ambrose (I813)

Pat's farm on Range 7, Lot 8, was the site of feldspar mining activity in the 1930s and 1940s. Pat earned compensation from the mining companies. Up to 1935, many pits were dug resulting in the discovery of high quality feldspar. From 1935 to 1942, several attempts were made to recover the feldspar in commercial quantity, but the operation was difficult because the pegmatite rock ore was multi-fractured and stained with iron oxide. In total, about 500 tons of feldspar were shipped to the U.S.

My father recalls seeing the lead and quartz mine. It was of those partridge hunting times with his father. There was a road to the "back field" where they grew hay every year and stored it in a barn there. There was a branch road leading up a valley between hills to the mine sites. The quartz mine was a large pit and at that time full of water. It hadn't been used since WWII. His understanding was that it was operated by outsiders on a percentage basis. He doubts any McClements were involved. The same for the lead vein which was visible in a trench-like cut into the rock face. It was also reachable by the same road. Spar and quartz mines were quite numerous in the area and probably more accessible. The operation on Joe's farm was very small scale. 
McClements, Patrick Keiran (I702)

379 Our first Audet ancestor in New France was Nicolas Audet, the son of Innocent Audet and Vincente Roy. He was born in 1637 and baptized on July 12th of that year in St. Pierre parish in the village of Maulais, Deux Sevres, in Poitou. This is now part of Taize in the district of Thouars.

Nothing is known about Nicolas' early life. The first record of him is his confirmation which occurred in Quebec on March 23, 1664. Bishop Laval performed the ceremony. Presumably, he arrived in New France sometime in 1662 or 1663. In the church entry, his home parish in France is identified as St. Mathurin in Poitou. There were several parishes of that name in the general area of Poitou at the time. The entry does not mention the Lapointe dit name.

No further record of Nicolas has been found in Quebec between 1664 and 1666.

However, it has been stated by some researchers that Nicolas was in the French Army in 1665 and 1666. The King sent about 1000 troops to Quebec in 1665 to quell the Iroquois uprisings. These troops were supplemented by members of the local militia and settlers. It is believed that Nicolas was still in Quebec at the time. The records show that Nicolas was a member of the Monteil Company which was composed of soldiers from Poitou. All of the soldiers who were assigned a dit name in this company had such a name beginning with "L". This was an easy way of identifying the company to which the soldiers belonged. Nicolas' dit name was Lapointe. This is the first known record of the Audet dit Lapointe name in New France.

The only other possible explanation for Nicolas' army service is that sometime after his confirmation in 1664, he returned to France and then joined the army prior to its assignment to New France. I believe this unlikely since Captain Tracy, the leader of the Monteil Company, sailed with his troops in early 1664 for the West Indies prior to being rerouted to New France to join the larger Salières Carignan force which sailed for Quebec in 1665.

When the Indian wars ended in 1666, Nicolas was among the 400 soldiers who remained in Quebec as settlers.

In the census of 1666, Nicolas (listed as Lapointe) was a labourer, one of 12 employees of Bishop Laval working on his lands at Saint Joachim near Cape Tourmente, Beaupré. On 22 June 1667, the Bishop, who owned extensive seigneurial lands, granted Nicolas three arpents of frontage on the south side of Île d'Orléans along the Saint Lawrence River in Sainte-Famille parish. Twelve years later, this land would become part of the newly-created Saint Jean parish. Each year on November 11th, he was required to pay to the Bishop in payment for his land, 20 sols in seigneurial rent for each arpent, 12 deniers for "cens" and 3 capons chosen by the Seigneur. He also probably had to have his grain milled at the Bishop's mill. The land grant contract was witnessed by notary Paul Vachon, Jean Crete, master cartwright, Paul de Rainville, sheriff of Beauport, and Bishop Laval himself. It seems Nicolas had become well known and connected.

His neighbours on the Island were Guy Boivin and Robert Boulay. He hired them "to help him build a house to be finished within one year from this day." But it seems that he did not immediately settle on his lands. There is a reference in Roy showing that on October 13, 1668, he was the porter at Bishop Laval's residence in Québec. On that date, Sieur Jean Madry, made a visit to Bishop Laval's residence, which is described in Roy's book as follows:

"Today, at the entrance gate of the estate, Sieur Jean Madry rang a little bell, in response to which he was met by Nicolas Audet, porter of the Château. After admitting him, Audet went to inform his master, the Bishop."

As Nicolas was gainfully employed, presumably he had his house constructed on his lands and perhaps had left Quebec to be a farmer. The only thing remaining was to find a wife to help with the farming chores and to build a family. Here, the filles du roi program came to the rescue in the form of Madeleine Després.

Madeleine was born about 1653 in St. Sauveur parish in Paris. She was the daughter of François Després and Madeleine Legrand. She was sponsored as a fille du roi by Anne Gasnier and brought with her a dowry of 200 livres in addition to the usual other provisions gifted by the King. Madeleine arrived in New France in 1670. How the two met was most likely in the usual way – a form of parade of eligible women and men and an interrogation of sorts. Likely, Nicolas' connection with the Bishop assisted in supporting a good impression. On August 30, 1670, Nicolas and Madeleine met at Quebec with notary Romain Bequet, who drew up a marriage contract. Anne Gasnier and Elisabeth Etienne were witnesses. They were married on September 15th in Ste. Famille Parish, the only church on Île d"Orléans at that time. The witnesses were Pierre Rondeau and Mathurin Dube, the latter another of our ancestors.

The couple had twelve children, nine boys and three girls but the elder two died young. All were baptized in the Parish of Sainte-Famille except the youngest three who were baptized at Saint-Jean, after that parish was created.

By 1681, Nicolas had acquired more land. In the census for that year, he indicated 15 arpents cleared for cultivation and he owned six horned animals (probably oxen and cattle) and a gun. In 1689, Nicolas became gravely ill. He was hospitalized for 19 days in August and in September, he spent 26 days under the care of the nursing sisters at Hôtel-Dieu in Québec.

On July 9, 1696, he was awarded another land grant of three arpents of river frontage in St. Laurent, some distance to the west of his farm. Two years later, he gave this land to his son Jean-Baptiste.

Nicolas died on December 9, 1700 and was buried the next day at the St. Jean cemetery. The family farm and the obligation to care for Madeleine were passed on to his son Joseph. An inventory of family assets was made by notary Etienne Jacob on September 27, 1706. It listed 75 arpents of usable land, a two-room, 18x24' house with two chimneys, a cellar and loft, and finished in rough beams, plus a barn and stable. The farm was located at lot numbers 192 and 193 of the cadastral plan of St. Jean parish.

386 Peter Barrett was a farmer in Hull.

The following article appeared in the Ottawa Citizen November 12, 1942

"Mr. James Barrett who lives just to the east of the International Fibre Board Works at Gatineau Point is 98 years of age. He has lived in the vicinity of Ottawa all his life. He is an older brother of John Barrett of 39 Redpath Street, Ottawa.

Peter Barrett, father of James and John came to Bytown about 1827 and worked on the Rideau Canal till it was completed in 1832. Peter Barrett came to Ottawa from Castlebar, County Mayo, Ireland. By trade he was a shoemaker. When he came to this country he took the first thing which offered, which was the canal work.

One of the jobs which Col. By assigned to Peter Barrett was carrying the pay-money for the employees of the canal. The pay was nearly all in silver, mostly in American dollars. It was the boast of Peter Barrett that though he had carried many thousands of dollars on horseback long distances up the canal he never lost a dollar."

396 Railroad Engineer Turner, Alfred (I1840)
 
397 Railroad Engineer - CPR, CNR
In 1921, George was living in Barrie, Ontario. 
Turner, George Layfield (I2258)
 
398 Railroading in Canada was in its heyday in the 1880s and Rivière-du-Loup was a hub of rail activity. Frank Turner took advantage of this opportunity to transform his career and resettle his family in Ottawa, becoming the progenitor of many Turners living there today. Frank was tall with a strong face, featuring the quintessential Turner Greek nose and a pronounced chin. In his later years, he sported a bushy, grayish-white moustache. Frank was a family man, a man of faith, principled and resolute. And he was well known and popular in the Ottawa railway scene.
Frank was born into a stagecoach transportation family in Fredericton, and at an early age was helping his father as a driver. The family relocated to Riviere-du-Loup, Quebec in 1868 where his father John commenced a daily mail stage operation to Edmundston, New Brunswick. Frank was stationed in Edmundston c1875 and the next year married Emma Lapointe of Ste. Rose du Dégelé. They moved to Ottawa in 1882 where Frank was a locomotive fireman for the CPR. He joined Canada Atlantic Railway
as an engineer in 1889 and remained with them and successor railways until his retirement in 1910.
Frank and Emma had 11 children of whom seven reached adulthood. He died in Ottawa in 1927.

399 Rita was born to a single mom; her mom was a Ryan, a friend of Mae McClements. Barney and Lucy Cullen, accompanied by son Lawrence, then aged about 8 or 9 years, went to pick up Rita. Lawrence was told to wait in the car. Out came his parents with Rita, then about 4 or 5 years old. Rita was then adopted.

After high school and during the war, Rita worked at Navy headquarters of National Defence. 
Cullen, Mary Rita (I890)
 
400 Robert lived in Fredericton where about 1812, he married Phoebe Russell, a descendant of loyalists from Connecticut. In 1817, he obtained a land grant for three roods and 13 perches at the north-west corner of present day Regent and Brunswick Streets in downtown Fredericton. The location of his land was one block north of where his brother George built his house in 1833. Isabelle Louise Hill in "The Old Burying Ground Fredericton N.B." says that Robert bred horses and was well off financially. He was described as a yeoman, which might have referred to him as a landowner. Robert died in Fredericton in 1823 at age 37 and was buried in the Old Burial Ground. Turner, Robert (I935)
