Drummond

(Population: 1,007)

4 km from Grand Falls, route 108

Drummond is a beautiful and small country village with postcard appeal. It is sweet all around.

This is essentially an agricultural village geared to potato harvesting. As far as the eye can see, dells and cultivated fields grid the horizon.

Dotted with farms covering the landscape, fields combine into a natural fresco of rare beauty. People here live in harmony with the earth and seasons.

Take the time to explore the surroundings on scenic country roads. In the summer, the dells and flourishing fields offer a panoramic landscape, a harmonious symphony worthy of a pastoral masterpiece. It is as though nature had put on its best attire to brush a tableau in honour of rural life. This will simply captivate you.

Drummond is the birthplace of the famous jockey Ron Turcotte, Triple Crown champion of horse racing, with his famous horse Secretariat. Mr.Turcotte still lives in the area.

It is in the heart of this army corps that Antoine Roy made it to Canada, as an ordinary soldier, assigned to the company of Capt. Froment. He carried the military surname `Desjardins`.
He left La Rochelle on April 19th, 1665 aboard the sailer Le Vieux Simon, and he wen ashore tw omonths later on the piers of Québec City, the 19th of June. He was part of the avant-garde of the regiment sent by the King, formed of four companies commanded by the Captains Petit. Froment, Chambly and La Tour.

Their marriage was annulled , 29-09-1689. Ref: Jette,p.1062. Julien Talua, condemned to capitol punishment, got himself consequently a second hearing, and thereafter there is no follow up on him.
              The story of Antoine Roy dit Desjardins is an intriguing one for two reasons. The first is that he is the ancestor of many people of French-Canadian origin living today. He and his wife, Marie Major, had only one son, Pierre, but Pierre was to be married three times and would father 19 children, 17 of whom would reach adulthood.
The Fate of Marie Major.
              Marie Major was now ruined because of the scandal of her husband's adultery and murder, and because of continuing problems with creditors. She could no longer live in Batiscan. She and Pierre left their farm and went to live in Quebec in poverty. They were sustained by the small income of Pierre, only 15 years old in 1684, could derive from his work as a cooper, the trade of his father.
              Nothing more is known of Marie until she entered the Hotel-Dieu, the Quebec hospital, on 16-11-1689, where she would die on Dec.8th. She was 52 years old.
              Following the custom of the time, it was likely that she was buried the next day, Dec.9th, in the Cimetiere des Pauvres (Cemetary of the poor). Despite its name, the cemetary held the emains of some of the rich and illustrious citizens of Quebec. Marie, buried in an unmarked tomb, was not one of these.

4th GENERATION
PIERRE ROY or Leroy dit Desjardins, ca. 1670 and Marie -Anne Martin
Pierre, dit Desjardins, Roy (or Leroy) born ca. 1669, at Batiscan . He was listed in the census of au rec 1700 at Mont-Louis, etablished at Kamouraska in 1696 or 1697. He was a lieutenant in the Militia of Kamouraska in March,
1721. He was a barrelmaker and a carpenter.
Pierre was married at the age of 22 on 12 February, 1691 in the church of St.Pierre on the Ile d'Orleans, northeast of Quebec, Canada. (ct 29-01 Giles Rageot) - to Marie-Anne Martin daughter of Jocquim Martin and and Anne Charlotte Petit. Witnesses at the signing of the marriage contract on 29-01-1691 was his godfather, Pierre Constant, a former neighbor and a habitant of Batiscan since 1667. Constant was also the witness at the wedding.
Pierre and Marie-Anne would have ten children, one who died at the age of 15. Marie-Anne would die in 1709 and on 25 Nov. 1710 Pierre would marry Angelique Autin daughter of Francois et Marie Boucher. at Riviere Ouelle. Angelique would have 6 children. She died somewhere between 1721 and 1726. On 30 October 1727 Pierre Jean Baptiste Roy m. at Repenyigny on to Marie De Lugre daughter of Jacques Lugre and Catherine Gendreau. Marie would bear three children, one who died at the age of two.
m. (2nd?) ca. 1729 to Catherine Cotinaut-Champlaurier daughter of Francois- Jacques Cotinaut-Champlaurier and Madeline Milot.
Pierre Roy died 29 April 1734
In total, Pierre would father19 children, 17 of whom reached adulthood. The descendants of Antoine through his son Pierre, would bear the names Roy, Roy Desjardins, Desjardins, Roy-Lauzier, Roy-Lauzon and Roy-Desjardins-Voisine. During his life, Pierre worked as a farmer, a cooper, a master carpenter. He died on 29-04-1734 in Repentigny, and was

The Fate of Pierre.
Pierre Roy-Desjardins, son of Antoine, went to visit his old neighbor, Jacques Marchand in Batiscan in June of 1691, to claim the inheritance as the sole heir of Antoine Roy-Desjardins and Marie Major. At that time he was living at St.Pierre, Ile d'Orleans, with his new wife, Marie-Anne Martin.
When considering the poor financial record of Antoine Roy-Desjardins, it is hard to imagine that Pierre had any claim, but he did. Antoine and Marie Major had been married under the communal estate settlement system. Under this system, the dowry that Marie brought to the marriage was not subject to the debts incurred during the marriage. Pierre
as sole heir, therefore had a legal claim to this dowry of 300 pounds
Pierre was not ot receive this full amount, but an amicable agreement was reached with Marchand. On 18-06-1691, Father Raffeix, S.J. of Cap-de-la- Madeleine, in the name of Jacques Marchand, gave to Pierre the sum of 165 pounds. This agreement was contested by Babie's widow, Jeanne Dandonneau, but in vain.

In the year of about 1657, Antoine Roy married a woman named Catherine Byot. This is a new fact, which is found in no other published genealogy in Canada up to now. The young man worked in the trade of cooper when he was united with his first wife, in his father's manner. From this marriage came two children, both baptized in the church of St.Jean-de-Joigny: first Jacques, presented to the baptismal fonts by Jacques Perdigon and Marie Chachere, 05-11-1658; then Edmee, held over these same fonts by Edme Nau and Marie Bourotte, 13-03-1660. At the first baptism, the parents of
Antoine Roy were still living. His mother died one year later, being buried at Joigny the 10-12-1659, and not the 20-12 as seen inthe Canadian texts. His father died a year and a half after the second baptism, 06-12-1661. Both services were held at Joigny. Ref: L'Ancetre Vol.24, #4, Dec.1997, p.125 > 134, by. Pierre Leclercq, vice-president of the Societe Genealogique de l'Yonne.
              Marie Major, Arr. 1668, born in the hamlet of St. Thomas-de-Touques, (Normandy ), in 1640, daughter of Jean & Marguerite LaPele. She married Antoine Roy dit Desjardins, 11-09-1668, at Quebec.(c.06-09,m. LeConte), bringing with her estimated goods of 300 pounds. Ref: "Les Filles du Roi", S.Dumas,p.290.
              During the French Regime, the erection of the lands as a lordship, gave the owner, or landlord, of the domain the power to execute justice on his lands, to establish a court and to name officers; judge, fiscal procurator, court clerk and bailiff. Many of the Seigneurs oversaw the power, especially those of the Island of Montreal, Notre-Dame-des-Anges, Beauport, Beaupre and the Orleans Is. The seigneurie court of Montreal & N.D.-des-Anges executed their powers in the high justice, at least in the 17th. century. The first condemned, Julien Talua, to capitol punishment, in 1684, for having killed Antoine roy dit Desjardins..... Ref:"Les Filles du Roi", S.Dumas,p.102. Can be found;A.N.Q. Liasses 60-61 folio nos.2753-3232.
              Julien Talua killed Antoine Roy dit Desjardins when he found him with his wife, 10-07-1684, at Lachine. She was banished for life from the Is. of Montreal for adultery. Their marriage was annulled , 29-09-1689. Ref: Jette,p.1062.
              Julien Talua, condemned to capitol punishment, got himself consequently a second hearing, and thereafter there is no follow up on him.
              From Bourgogne came to us Antoine Roy dit Desjardins, son of Olivier, a wet cooper, and of Catherine Boderge. He came in the ranks of the Carignan Reg; Froment Co., in 1665. Doubtlessly knowing that his army time was nearing end, he obtained a grant situated in the seigneurie of Batiscan, owned by the Jesuits, in 1667. The following year, in Quebec, he marries a King's daughter, Marie Major, daughter of Jean, doorman, (more or less), for the barony of Hanqueville-en -Vexin, and of Marguerite LePele. She is orphaned of both father and mother and brings with her a " hope chest" estimated at 300 pounds. Antoine adds to the communion his allocation of veteran of 100 pounds.
              Sadly, the couple were not rolling in gold. In 1681, Antoine had only cleared five arpents. He accumulates debts and thrown in jail for insolvency. He leaves for Montreal to practice his trade oe wet cooper.
              In July of 1684, a residant of Lachine, Julien Talua dit Vendamont, surges to the magistrate judge Migeon de Branssat, at Montreal, and tells him that he just killed Antoine Roy, whom he surprised in bed with his wife, (that will blow a quiet evening of t.v. everytime!), The killer was condemned to the capitol punishment, then released while awaiting a second hearing. We then lose all trace of him.
              The Roy/Martin couple had only one child, a son , Pierre, who in 1691 married Marie-Anne Martin, dau. of Joachim and of Anne-Charlotte Petit, who will give him nine kids. He fathered four more as aresult of two other marriages.
Ref: La Presse, Montreal, Saturday, 18-02-1995, Sect.H,p.8.
       Antoine Roy, illiterate, bought the grant of Francois
Fafard,22-12-1669, but did not seem to work it. In 1684, Antoine was killed by Julien Talua dit Vendamont in Montreal when he found him in bed with his wife, Anne Godby (Gaudry?).
Ref: Seigneurs et Colons de Ste.Anne-de-la-Perade,p.138.
       It was the month of July 1684, when a certain Talus-Vendamont
surprised his wife, Anne Godeby, catching her in the act with their boarder, Antoine Roy dit Desjardins, in the couple's dwelling at Lachine near Montreal.
              Vendamont killed Desjardins and went to give himself up to the magistrate of Montreal.
              At the trial, it seems that the adulteresse was proven by the neighbors testimony as the woman Godeby was condemned "to be perpetually banished from the Island of Montreal, and in case she did return, the awaitng punishment would be flogging and put in chains."
              As for Vendamont, he admitted the murder and was condemned to the capital punishment but on appealing the death sentence and only 13 days after the end of the trial at Montreal, the Conseil Sovereign accepted his request and ordered his transfer to the prison of Quebec; one month later, the Conseil broke the sentence handed down by the magistrate of Montreal and decreed that a revisioned trial be held in Quebec before the tribunal of the Conseil, in the month of March of 1685.
              Several days later, the Consseil permitted Vendamont to leave the prison of Quebec and lodge with a shoemaker on rue St.Louis, telling him however not to go any more than three lieux [1 lieu = approx.1 mile] from the place. But a month later, the Conseil acceeded to a new demand by Vendamont to return to Montreal, without escort and in liberty.
              When the date came for the second trial, Vendamont did not show up and we never again heard speak of him in the colony. From all appearances, the Conseil did not look for him either.
              His ex-wife, the infidel Godeby, finished her days in Quebec, without incident.

I will send you the rest of the e-mail messages that Jim sent to me, if you want me to. They are a little repetitive, but ver interesting.
When my ancestor left the Quebec and Montreal area, he left a number of siblings behind him. Three of my mother's sisters corresponded with one of their descendants named Hudon, who lived in Montreal. This was some time ago, and I only recently discovered one set of letters that my aunt had. She would have been 100 to 101 years old today, and the letters were written in the 30s or 40s and/or 50's

I tried to send this message to you by e-mail but it kept coming back undeliverable.

Searching for info on the Desjardins name is quite difficult. The following has not been verified by official documents till I get to my husband's great-grandparents. It is what I have researched and found to be a possibility. Much of the information is in french and I tried to translate as best I could. There are some words in french that I can't even find in my french dictionary. I believe my husband's ancestor starts with Antoine Desjardins. He was originally from Bourgogne, France and arrived in Québec in June of 1665. He established himself in the surrounding area of Batiscan. On September 11, 1668, he married Marie Major. Antoine died at Lachine on July 10, 1684, leaving one son, Pierre. I came across several Desjardins in the "Dictionnaire Génealogique des Famille du Québec" by Jette. 1983 - Library Number: 929.J 58d. On Page
342, you will find information on Pierre Desjardins and Anne Brien. . In researching my husband's
line of Desjardins, I can't locate what part of Canada they came from. I know they came to the U.S. before 1900's and first settled in Van Buren,
ME and then Old Town, ME. Some of them drifted to Waterville and Lewiston area. Husband's great-grandparents were Joseph Desjardins & Apolline (Pauline) Beaulieu of Van Buren, ME. I have only 4 of their children's names: Edward (Edouard), mar. twice (1) Délia (Adéline) or (Addie) Cyr, 8-30-1903 at St. Joseph's Church in Old Town, ME. (2) Lena Cunningham, 3-10-1921,
also at St. Joseph's in Old Town. Lena was also the widow of Jarvis Cunningham. Her parents were Charles & Olive Perry. Clémentine,(my husband's grandmother) mar. Napoleon Loubier (Lubier), 8-27/30-1886 at St. Francis de Sales Church in Waterville, ME. They had 22 children (5 sets of twins) - only one set survived (my husband's mother was in that set). Odélie, widow of Onésime Landry, married Napoleon Loubier, 8-9-1941 in Waterville, ME; George, remained in Old Town. I don't know when or who he married. I
know he had 4 sons and 2 daughters. The following items that I will list come from different sources: From "Your Ancient Canadian Family Ties" (1) Des Jardins - Claude Des Jardins
dit Charbonnier, born 1649, son of Marin and of Marguerite Gabrielle, of Isle, Diocese of Seulis, married at Quebec on 12 January 1666 to
