The youngest child of 16, Catherine-Charlotte Hamelin was born July 13, 1716 in Grondines, Quebec. She was the daughter of Francois Hamelin dit Laganiere and Marie-Madeleine Aubert.
Alexis Joubin dit Boisvert
Catherine-Charlotte Hamelin marries Alexis Joubin dit Boisvert on September, 30 1734 in the parish of Notre-Dame-De-Quebec, Quebec City, Quebec. He was the son of Jean Joubin and Francois-Elisabeth Renaud of Grondines, Quebec.
Life on the St. Lawrence
At the age of 19, Alexis received a concession on Pierre St-Ours sieur de L’echaillon on January 30, 1723. The land is four acres of wide and forty deep in the seigneurie of Deshaillons, on the in front of the Saint Lawrence River. The land was located next to his brother Joseph. There are no legal documents confirming transfers of land which would indicate he was living with his father Jean Joubin until his death.
On September 29 1734, Alexis stood in front of the Quebec Prevote and promised to marry Charlotte Hamelin. Apparently, Charlottes mother, Marie-Madeleine Aubert, widow of Francois Hamelin accused Alexis Joubin dit Boisverd of abusing the 17-year old Charlotte.
It is noted by Marie-Madelein Aubert that Charlotte delivered a child, March of 1734 and ordered Alexis to marry the girl. If he chooses to marry Charlotte, Marie-Madeliene will discontinue with the criminal charges she filed against the 30-year old Alexis.
In order to stop the procedures, Alexis promises to repair the honor that he removed from the young Hamelin and family, and reestablishes it in his good form and reputation. If he does not hold to his promise, he allows the Marie-Madeleine Aubert to take a sum of livres as well as all his goods, furnishings, buildings and land he possesses in the seigneuries Grondines and Deschaillons.
The next day, September 30, 1734, in the Quebec church, Alexis marries Charlotte. Ending all litigation. For the conceived child before the marriage, no record has been found. It is possible that the child was given to an orphanage in the city of Quebec upon it’s birth in March.
It must be noted that this indiscretion by Alexis, happened with a member of an influential family. A Hamelin was the seigneur of Grondines where they lived. Charlottes uncle Louis was a Montreal fur merchant, her brother Francois dit Laganiere was a Major of Militia along the north coast of the river. The Hamelins were an influential family, and the threat by Charlottes mother of total financial bankruptcy was taken very seriously by Alexis Joubin dit Boisvert.
On June 10th, 1735, a document was filed and registered by the “Prévost” of Quebec, and signed by the registrar of the lieutenant general of the “Prévosté”. This document stated that Jean Joubin and Francois-Elisabeth Renaud entrusted themselves to the care of Alexis and his wife Charlotte Hamelin in return for two of the four arpents they still owned, and for half of all the buildings thereon, and half of their livestock, furniture and household articles.
Alexis and Charlotte were to take care of them in their home, and feed and care for them there, and, for the repose of their souls, have ten low requiem Masses said for each of them. This contract was prepared by notary Arnould-Baltazar Pollet, and signed in the Joubin home.
August 20 1735, a son named Alexis is born in Grondines. He is followed by Marie-Therese Joubin, born May 28, 1737 and baptized June 6, 1737 in Grondines.
Four years after their marriage, they effectuate an exchanged land with Charles Jaudoin. Documents were signed by the notary on March 23, 1738. Alexis, gave land in Sainte-Anne-de-la-Perade of four arpents, situated above the rapids. The property hand a barn near the river. For exchange, they obtain land of three arpents to the Grondines with a house.
On March 29 1738, the widow of Jacques Hamelin, owner of the seigneurie of Grondines, requested an ordinance to Joseph Hamelin, Alexis Sauvageau, father and sons, François Brunette, John Grignon, Jacques Locat, Antoin Cauvet and Alexis Joubin dit Boisvert, for the inhabitants of the Grondines to oblige them to grind their grains at the lordly mill. With this request, Alexis became a Co-seigneur of Grondines.
