Jean Charpentier Sr. 1631 - 1678

Jean was born in 1631 at Dieppe, France to Cyprien Charpentier and Catherine Therelle. I have no listing for his siblings or even a specific date of his birth. He is included on a Passenger and Immigration list index for 1500 - 1900 that notes that recruits for Canada from the La Rochelle area of France during the seventeenth century were committed to work in New France in return for their fare to the North American continent. It seems he immigrated between 1652 and 1657 to Quebec city, PQ. He married Barbe Renaud on January 10, 1661 at Quebec City, PQ. He unfortunately passed away on April 18, 1678 at Quebec City.
