Died at age 73
Genealogical Tree of the Jacques Family states:
First Generation in Canada.
"The founder of our family in Canada was Louis Jacques. He was born in the City of Amiens, Province of Picardie, France in 1662 and was the son of Nicolas Jacques and Marie Soyer of Amiens.
Louis Jacques came to Canada in 1680 and is the only Jacques who came from france and raised a family in Canada. All the Jacques of Canada, are therefore, descendants of Louis Jacques.
Louis Jacques was married on May 17, 1688 at Quebec, to Antoinette LeRoux, who was a daughter of Francois Le Roux and Marie Renaud. Francis Le Roux was a native os senille, diocese of Poitiers, Province of Poitou France, and Marie Renaud was a native of St. Marceau, diocese of Orleans France. There were four children born in this family, all at Quebec. The family afterwards moved to Charlesbourg, a village ten miles from Quebec, and it was at Charlesbourg that Louis Jacques died in 1735, at the age of seventy-three. His wife died at Charlesbourg in 1739, at the age of seventy."
Nos Ancestres states: "Louis was born on 23 April 1664 at Amiens, France, from the marriage of Nicolas Jacques and Marie Soyer. He was immediately baptized in the parish church of Saint-Michel, in the shadow of the cathedral of this city.
His father, Nicolas, was originally from Franleu, near the mouth of the Somme, a few kilometers from la Manche. The Jacques family seems well established in this village since the marriage contract of Nicolas (27 May 1647) mentioned that he inherited two pieces of land which came to him from his grandfather living at this place. The head of the parish of Franleu was Saint-Martin.
The history of France was not indifferent to this village, because it was there that King Louis III settled in 881 with the Francs in order to repel the second invasion by the Normans (Viking) whose hordes were camped quite near, at Saucourt. The year 1992 constituted the 1111th anniversary of the victory of the Francs over the Normans.
The Norman invasions did not cease for all that. They resumed the following year. Beginning in 890, however, the invaders had the tendency to settle in Picardy as in Normandy; in 925, Rollon, their leader, was baptized.
These newcomers had a certain influence on the evolution of the local population. Was it through the mixing of blood, or otherwise? The fact remains that one can note that the Picard peasants, like those of Normandy, quickly enjoyed an enviable freedom if one compares their fate with their peers elsewhere in France. Serfdom disappeared from these two regions before the year one thousand.
Among the facts of the local history of Franleu, let's note the birth in 11464 of Antoinette Mallet, one of the founders of the Grey Sisters of Abbeville, a neighboring community. In the nineteenth century, the Jacques of Québec saw the founding of the Sisters of Charity of Québec by Marcelle Mallet, a Grey Sister from Montréal. A surprising coincidence.
The Origin of a Name
The majority of the present names of the cities and villages of France were set in the nineth and tenth centuries. For example, right after the battle of Saucourt, appeared the name of Franleu, in other words, the place of the Francs. In the same way, family names appeared in the thirteenth century. Until then, only the "first name" received at baptism was counted; little by little, either a surname (sobriquet, trade, place) was added, or the first name of the father, which gradually became hereditary. At the end of the Middle Ages, these hereditary first names were most often Guillaume, Jacques, Jean, Martin, and Pierre.
However, another possibility exists concerning the origin of the last name of Jacques; it is that it was given to the rebel Picard peasants (1358) during the captivity of King Jean II during the Hundred Years War.
The English occupied Picardy and the French were busy hunting them down. Exasperated by the endless violence and the constant searches for which they had to bear the expense, several peasants turned against the noblemen who sought reap profit from anarchy. We must admit that the latter had provoked them; in addition to making them bear the weight of poverty generated by the war, they had begun two years earlier to ridicule the simplicity of the poor folks and the inability of the peasants to defend themselves. They called them the "Jacques Bonhomme." The expression "jacques" could have remained attached to certain peasant families and become their name over the years.
In New France
A good part of the information at our disposal here is drawn from research notes gathered by Madame Diane Maheu-Jacques, from Charlesbourg. We still don't know when Louis crossed the sea to New France. Let's say only that the merchant François Hazeur, from Québec, was searching for two cabinetmakers in 1685. As he went to Amiens, the village of his origin on business, we believe more and more that it was at this time that Louis was hired and embarked. As a matter of fact, the indenture contracts and "passage" for New France lasted three years. Since Louis had been employed by François Hazeur until 1688, according to what we read in his marriage contract, 1685 is the probable year of his arrival here.
Did he work as a cabinetmaker, according to his training, or as a carpenter? Only the indenture contract could inform us of this. However, we are certain, again through his marriage contract, that he lived in the heart of Place Royale, at the home of his master
The year of his marriage, 1688, was also that of the construction of the church of Notre-Dame-des-Victories. Did he work there? We can believe so since M. Hazeur was warden of the parish cathedral on whom this construction depended. For now, we know nothing more about it.
It was on 17 May at the cathedral of Notre-Dame-de-Québec that he married Antoinette Leroux, daughter of François Leroux dit Cardinal. Her father was a former soldier in the Carignan Regiment. Her mother was Marie Renaud, who had come to Québec as a daughter of the king.
A little while later, the new couple settled at Bourg-Royal, where a second town was formed, three kilometers to the east of the first, that of Charlesbourg. Cabinetmaking was not sufficient for Louis to provide for the needs of his family, because four years later, on 21 September 1692, he acquired a concession from Germain Langlois. It cost him one hundred fifty livres. It was within the price range of the place: from 150 to 200 livres per piece of pioneering land, because well-developed, land with house and barn, could be bought for two thousand to three thousand livres. All was paid promptly; in fact, a receipt was given to him in the twelfth month which followed, on 23 September 1693.
It concerned forty arpents of land including eighteen workable, with only a barn on it. This land which bordered that of his brother-in-law, Ignace Leroux, who had built a house, and that of Jean Sigouin, on the side which went from the northwest to the southwest of the town plat.
The land was part of a star shape which was made up of all those which surrounded the town plat. This is why its dimensions were a half-arpent of frontage on the face, 17 arpents in depth, and 4 arpents of frontage on the back which bordered the lands of the Jesuit priests.
On the death of his father-in-law François Leroux, Louis renounced the inheritance in favor of his brother-in-law Ignace Leroux. As compensation, the latter had to furnish him with nine days expenses in order to build a house. The contract was signed on 16 July 1694. Therefore, it would be in this period of their life that Antoinette and Louis were able to have their own house.
Their life at Bourg-Royal seems to have passed peacefully, quietly, quite modestly. Louis was absent a few times due to his work. Several churches, therefore, benefited from his talent: let's mention Sainte-Anne-de-Beaupré, L'Ange-Gardien on the Beaupré Coast, and Saint-Pierre on the Ile d'Orléans. He also carried out several contracts at the College of the Jesuits in Québec. In order to give an idea of what he was able to accomplish, the account book of the Fabrique of Charlesbourg reveals that he participated in the interior decoration of this church. In 1707, he worked on the choir; in 1709, he executed a canopy; between 1713 and 1720, he sculpted the altar piece.
Ten children were born to Antoinette and Louis: Geneviève, Nicolas, Louis, Pierre, Charles, Marie-Catherine, Anne, Marie-Madeleine, Thomas, and Marie-Thérèse. Four would be victims of infant mortality: Geneviève, Charles, Thomas and Marie-Thérèse. "
Jaques Family Genealogy, Chapter XXI: Canadian Jacques Immigrants and Lines (pages photocopied & sent to C. Wilson. No publisher or author listed. Cites "Dictionnaire Genealogique des Famillies Canadiennes" compiled by Mgr. Cyprien Tanguay, Cinqueieme Volume, there is quite a long list of Jacques families, starting on page 572 and extending to page 575. There is an earlier volume, reprinted in 1967, that lists just the original Louis Jacques family. Author of this work states: "I shall write it just as it appears in the book, but translated into English."
