The grandfather of our first ancestor, Jacques Doyon, would have married Antoinette Charland (or Chalrand), on February 3, 1579 (contract at Saint-Marcelin in Is\u00e8re, between Grenoble and Valence).<\/span><\/p>\n In France, the original village of the Doyons is Saint-Hilaire-du-Rosier (south-eastern region of France, near the Vercors mountains). His son Jacques, father of our ancestor Jean Doyon, would have married, around 1615, Fran\u00e7oise Couturier (or Cousturier).<\/span><\/p>\n All of the Doyons of America are descendants from the same ancestor, Jean Doyon. He would have left as a soldier for the siege of La Rochelle where, once the war was over, he would have settled near there, in the country of Aunis. (Source: Un bel h\u00e9ritage, p. 8 of Father Dominique’s section, written by Father Dominique Doyon)<\/span><\/p>\n Jean was born in 1619 in P\u00e9rigny, France, in the Poitou-Charentes region.<\/span><\/p>\n He arrived in Canada in 1644, at the age of 25, where he was a land-clearing and wood sawyer. In 1650, he settled in Ch\u00e2teau-Richer, became a farmer and married Marthe Gagnon, natural daughter of Mathurin Gagnon and Vincente Gauthier.<\/span><\/p>\n From their union were born two girls and four boys: in order, Marie, Nicolas, Antoine, Madeleine, Louis and Thomas. Louis having drowned at the age of 19, the three surviving boys formed the first lineages of the Doyons of America.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.3.2″][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/associationdesdoyondamerique.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Doyon_Tree_Denise_Doyon_Transparent.png” url=”https:\/\/braidedbranches.net\/” align=”right” admin_label=”Arbre – Denise – Image” _builder_version=”4.3.2″][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.3.2″]<\/p>\n
