Notes |
- The following year, Jeanne-Angelique met Louis Prat, living in the
Lower-Town of Quebec. The wedding took place at the cathedral on 30
July 1691. Louis
Prat was a good fellow, an innkeeper, a merchant-baker, a ship owner
and the port captain of Quebec. In 1704, he built the ship le
Joybert. "A few months
after it was launched, the vessel returned triumphantly to Quebec,
bringing the Pembroke Gally, a frigate taken from the English. This
period is remembered
in a painting dated from 1706 given to the sanctuary of Sainte-Anne-
de-Beaupre. "
In 1716, Louis and Jeanne-Angelique were living in the Rue Sous-le-
Fort. The couple had three daughters, one of whom survived, Marie-
Josephe, and was
married to Charles-Paul Denis, Sieur de Saint-Simon, on 17 October
1713, at Quebec. Louis died in February 1726 and was buried in the
cathedral.
