Flag of New France He was born in Picardie around 1600. Around 1625, he married in Brécy (St-Michel) (Aisne) in Soissonais with Anne Couvent, daughter of Guillaume Couvent and Antoinette de Longueval . We don't know much about the life of Philippe and Anne Couvent in France . We have found an act of sale from Antoine Courand notary . In this act of sale of the Notary Courand 20th january 1626 , we find out that Philippe Amyot bought the house of Antoinette Longueval in Estrée . Must have been a big house . According to the act , the house had 14 rooms and 32 acres of land. (32 arpents de terre ) Philippe arrived in Canada in the summer of 1635. He was accompanied by his wife, Anne Couvent, and two sons, Mathieu and Jean. In 1636, another son, Charles was born at Québec. What did philippe Amyot do in Kébec ? We don't know .When he died is also unknown. However its certain that he died before September 1639. No funeral record has reached us for him. Certain allege that he died by drowning , and because his body was never found , they never registered his death . Other presumed that they just simply forgot to re-enter his burial act when they reconstructed the parish register after the fire in the chapel Notre-Dame de la Recouvrance in 1640 . Notary Audouart 7th September 1639 inventoried of the possesion of Philippe Amyot In September 1639 , Anne Couvent , the widow of Philippe Amyot , married Jacques Maheu.
