'''Marriage'''
''Contrat de mariage de Denis Masse et Catherine Pinel (17 octobre 1671).'' Notaire Romain Becquet Vol III pg 66
The marriage record itself is lost, all that remains is the contract.
One known child from the marriage:#Denys Masse, born 24 May 1673, baptized on the 28th in Pointe-aux-Trembles de Neuville[[https://www.genealogiequebec.com/Membership/LAFRANCE/img/acte/58906 Bapt. Denys Masse fils/son image IGD]] He was godfather of his half-brother Joseph Prou on 5 March 1697. Thereafter it is difficult to determine which Denis Masse was present at events, since he had a cousin of the same name.[Quebec, Vital and Church Records (Drouin Collection), 1621-1997 - Drouin IGD] He died before March 1707 (see his profile)
'''Death'''
Catherine Pinel was godmother of Catherine Hardy on 1 October 1676 in Dombourg, and on this record she was cited his widow.
His wife Catherine Pinel remarries with Jean Prou on 2 November 1676 in the chapel of St-François-de-Sales de la Pointe-aux-Trembles de Neuville.[[https://www.genealogiequebec.com/Membership/LAFRANCE/img/acte/67156 Marriage Pinel-Prou image IGD]]
In 1709 there was a transfer from his heirs or his son's heirs to Jean Baptiste Prou.

==Notes==Dombourg and Neuville are the same location, the first is the name of the seigneurie that covered part of the territory of Neuville.
