Notes:

Jacques was 30 years old when he said that he was ready to take a wife. On 19 October 1669, in the presence of Pierre Duquet, Jacques Miville, Sieur dees Chesnes, signed his marriage contract with damoiselle Catherine de Baillon, daughter of the late Squire Alphonse de Baillon, Sieur de la Mascotterie, and damoiselle Louise de Marle, from the Ile-de-France. The groom was assisted by his entire family. For her part, the bride was accompanied by the Governor Daniel Remey de Courcelle, Pierre de Fauvel, Louis Rouer de Villeray, councillor to the Sovereign Council , ship's captain Laurent Poullet, and others. Jacques endowed Catherine with 1,000 livres, including 300 in clothing. According to Archange Godbout, the de Baillon family was of noble ancestry, allied to Le Roy de la Poterie and to the Sabrevois. Therefore, one can trace her ancestors back to the 15th century. (27)
The wedding was celebrated at Quebec on 12 November after the engagement and the publication of the three customary banns made on 20, 27 and 28 October in the church of Notre-Dame, by the pastor Henry de Bernieres, in the presence of witnesses Louis Rouer de Villeray and Mathieu Amyot dit Villeneuve.
In the meantime, Jacques had decided to undertake the development of his land at Grande-Anse. On 21 October 1669, he met again with notary Duquet in order to finalize the hiring of two volunteer workers, Raymond Cornut and Jean Beaudeau whom he asked to clear the land on his concession at a place called Cap-Martin, as much wood as they could cut into lengths from nine to 10 feet during the winter to come. Jacques sent his employees off on Saint-Martin's Day to the designated place at his expense. Cornut and Boudeau would receive 20 livres for each arpent of wood cleared and cut and they would be aided by another man who will be paid in the same manner.

"After his marraige, Jacques Mivielle, Sieur des Chenes, lived for sometime more in the region of Quebec, then he went to settle at Riviere Saint-Jean (Sainte-Anne-de-la-Pocatiere). On 15 june 1674 (contract Rageot), Jean-Baptiste Deschamps de la Bouteillerie ceded him a domain with almost 12 arpents in frontage, east of the Ouelle River. (32) At that time, he left the Lauson Coast to occupy this homestead, but he only passed through there because, on 16 June 1677 (contract Rageot), he had been forced to cede to Nicolas Hot dit Saint-Laurent 'due to an alignment recently drawn'. Huot agreed to pay him 515 livres, the value of the work carried out up until then on this land. This done, Huot quit claimed all lawsuits and claims that he had against Miville, even allowing him to extend his stay in the place until the following 15 April.
It does not seem that Jacques and his loved ones did so, because on the first of September (contract Rageot), Jacques Bernier dit Jean de Paris sold him a piece of land with six arpents of frontage by 12 deep, at Riviere Ouelle. This land had been acquired verbally by MICHEL BOUCHARD from the seigneur of la Bouteillerie. In 1681, Jacques Miville and his family had been listed in the census at Riviere Ouelle, where they declared two guns, seven head of cattle and eight arpents under cultivation. (33)
In 1684, Jacques Miville returned to Riviere Saint-Jean to work the farm of Charles Aubert de la Chesnaye. Less than two years later, he and his wife died on the same day, 27 January 1688, probably carried away by an epidemic. In his 'Histoire du Canada,' Henry-Hopper Miles says that during the year 1688-1699 'the concerns of the unfortunate colonists were greatly increased by the illness which struck in the form of small pox, dysentery, scurvy and fevers in such a way that some 1,400 people succumbed during that year alone.' (34)

Prior to 1663 the majority of women who arrived in Canada were married to one of the settlers or were single women who came looking for a husband. These single women were few in number and often paid their own passage to Canada by a contract of indenture. In 1663 when King Louis XIV became concerned with populating the colony of New France. He directed a recruitment of women to be sent to Canada.

Once chosen, the girl was given passage, clothing, and personal necessities. She was also given a dowry of 59 livres if she married a soldier or habitant. She was given 100 livres if she married an officer. Of the nearly 1000 women who undertook the journey, about 800 made it to Canada. These women arrived between 1663 and 1673. There distinction of being a King's Daughter is noted by the marriage contract which showed the dowry from the king.

Catherine de Baillon, wife of Jacques Miville dit Deschenes, was such an individual. She came with a 1000 livres dowry and was considered to be be born from an upper class family. Her ancestory can now be traced back to Charlemagne and the 7th century.
