!NOTES: Following the relinquishment of New France by the British in 1633, Robert Giffard, the seigneur (lord) of Beauport, persuaded Langlois to become a settler in the new land. It is probable that Abraham Martin dit L'Ecossais, the King's pilot at Quebec, and possibly related to him by marriage, greatly influenced his decision. Langlois and his future wife, Francois Grenier (Garnier) left France with Giffard's prospective settlers in the spring of 1634 and arrived at Quebec on June 24. Following his marriage at Quebec in July, Langlois settled at Beauport, Canada. Three years later he received from Giffard a grant of land in perpetuity. His wife, the mother of 10 of his 11 children, died in November 1665. Their marriage was blessed by Father Charles Lalement a Jesuit. In July 1666 Langlois married Marie Crevet, the widow of Robert Caron. Langlois himself died at Beauport in July 1684, survived by his widow and 8 of his 11 children.

!Following from Dolores (Pepper) Grau Jan 1998:

Guillaume Langlois and Jeanne Millet of Saint-Leonard-des-Parcs, Normandie had a son Noel born/baptised in 1606. His birthplace is not far from Mortagne in Perche. This lends credence to the opinion that he knew the people from that city before going to New France with them. His village today has a small church that dates from the middle ages, and the surrounding countryside has farms, for raising race horses.

The time of his arrival at Beauport remains controversial, but it seems most likely that it was in 1633. One year later the surgeon Robert Giffard arrived to take possession of his Seigneurie, Beauport, 15 Jul 1634 Robert Giffard laid the cornerstone for his manor house and the same day Noel Langlois took Francoise Granier as his wife. This was the fourth marriage in New France and the first since the return of the French in 1633. It was a very festive occasion for this little frontier community. We descend from two of the ten children from this marriage. From Marguerite Langlois who married the Notary Paul Vachon and Noel Langlois dit Traversy and his wife Aimie Caron.

The immigrant Noel Langlois accumulated considerable land and worked hard clearing it. It took a man all year to clear a little over an arpent of land so he hired new immigrants to help in this task. His work as a carpenter helped pay them. He could not sign his name on documents, so affixed his mark a reversed N. He shared his earnings with the church. In 1657 he gave a piece of yellow cloth for cutting the blessed bread, to Notre-Dame de Recouverance in Quebec.

Old Noel was serious about his role as patriarch. He saw that his two sons named Jean had suitable land on the Ile d'Orleans for their shipbuilding enterprise. When the youngest son Noel wanted to leave the family homestead, parental pressure kept him there.

Francoise Grenier the first wife of Noel died following an accident in 1666. Nine months later he married an old friend, Marie Crevet, the widow of Robert Caron. In the marriage contract Noel agreed to look after her young daughter Aimie Caron.

In time chemistry developed between Aimie and the younger Noel. Their first born arrived in 1673. No record of their marriage can be found in the church registers. They eventually signed their marriage contract in 1677. They had a total of five children. Their daughter Marie-Anne Langlois born in 1675 became our forbearer, marrying Jean Cote.

Probably the Langlois household sheltered men of the Carignan Regiment while young Noel was still an adolescent. Among these men was a dashing young officer, Francois Laumonier de Traversy. The Indians killed Traversy while he was hunting on the shores of Lake Champlain. So when young Noel decided to take a dit name to differentiate himself from his father, he chose Traversy.

Noel, calling himself Sieur de Traversy, had a love of hunting, fishing and the military life, in the summer of 1673 he accompanied governor Frontenac on an expedition west to the area of present day Kingston. Because he distinguished himself on this venture Frontenac promised him a Seigneury. When reminded of his promise, Frontenac granted a fief on the south shore of the Saint Lawrence River. Traversy called it Port Joli. It was not good farm land, but was excellent for the hunting and fishing, that Traversy enjoyed. It also provided tall oak spars for his brothers' shipbuilding. He never was able to develope his Seigneury.

His father was old and wanted him to stay on the home place to look after him and his second wife. To this end he assigned all his assets and debts to the son. To straighten out the tangled affairs left by his father Traversy sold his Seigneury Port Joli. He could have kept the Seigneury if he sold the homestead in Beauport after the death of the father in 1684.

A review of the troops at Fort Frontenac in 1684 lists, le sieur Traversy, Lieutenant. He remained a Lieutenant in the militia at Beauport for the rest of his life.

Aimie Caron died in 1685 and two months later he married a much younger woman, Genevieve Parent. In the marriage contract he provided her a dowry of 1000 pounds, a large amount of money in those days. They had another four children. He was ill from 1689 until his death in 1693.

Noel was recruited in France as a censituary of Robert Gilfart. Noel arrived in Quebec the 4th of June 1634 aboard the ship the Saint Jehan and Pierre de Nesle was the Captaine.

After rearing ten children and the death of Francoise he remarried. The Jesuit relations book shows him as a norman pilot and also says he gave a yellow scarf to the church as a Christmas offering. Noel was sometimes listed as a riverboat pilot also a ships carpenter.

11 GENERATIONS OF LANGLOIS

There is much documentation's and chronicles on the number of Langlois families. There are at least a half dozen pioneers that lived in Nouville, France and 52 were fathers to 10 or more children.

We encounter the memories of three chiefs of families from Normandy: Noel, Nicolas and Jacques respectively of St. Leonard des Parcs, d'Yvetat and Colombelles.

They began by questioning the origin of Noel Langlois; because they thought he was from Honfleur and lived in the parish of St. Leonard, but the story remains open.

Noel Langlois in 1606 was the first recruit of Robert Giffard. He abstained the signatures in Beauport, January 15, 1634, or July 25, 1634. Noel married in Quebec to Francoise Grenier (Garnier), origin unknown. The couple were in the service until 1637, because the engagement lasted three years. Noel was a carpenter and doubt that Giffard was satisfied when he rendered on June 29, 1637, and conceded to buy 300 areas of land. They planted on the hills and the neighboring lands. They planted wheat all the way to the river Montmorency.

      The couple Langlois/Grenier had 10 children that lived in the home. Jean took the name Boisverdun, and married Charlotte Francoise Belanger, daughter of Francois Belanger and Marie Guyon, they had 11 children 6 boys and 5 girls. A second Jean dit St. Jean in 1675 and married Marie Cadieux, daughter of Charles Cadieux and Madeleine Macart, the service was performed at the hotel. They had 6 children, 4 sons and 2 daughters.

      Noel Langlois dit Traversy, choose the company of Aimee Caron, daughter of Robert Caron and Marie Crevet (1677), plus Geneveive Parent (1686), daughter of Pierre Parent and Jeanne Badeau, there were 5 children from the marriage, 2 sons , the rest daughters. Noel was the first occupant, lordship of Port-Joli; and conceded on May 25, 1677, four months after his first marriage.

      The town of Beauport rendered homage to a pioneer and gave the name of a park; in his memory in 1984, by the Association of "Langlois of America". When the daughters of the ancestry founded the families with the colonies of the names of Pelletier, Vachon, Chevalier, Cote and Minville.
