MATHIEU D'AMOURS
seigneur des Chauffours et de La Morandiere
(1618-1695), who was born in France, legitimate son of Louis D'Amours and Elizabeth Tessier.
Many of Mathieu's descendants played key roles in America, like his own Grand-daughters Marie-Joseph D'Amours de Chauffours, dame Pierre Morpain, whose husband was the famous San Domingo buccaneer, who fought the British and helped rescue Port Royal in 1709, and her sister Charlotte D'Amours Dechoffours, baronnesse Anselme d'Abbadie de St.Castin wife of the famous Abenaki Leader who came to the rescue of Port-Royal in 1709 and 1711 and was also a privateer, though we are not dealing with these and other descendants at this time.
His Father, Louis D'Amours, first Counselor to the King of France (usually seated at the Chatelet), was married to Anne de Gravelle. Though Louis was married to Anne, he had two children by Elisabeth Tessier, Mathieu and Elisabeth D'Amours, who were legitimized and came together to New France in 1651.
An early Damours had saved Saint Louis a.k.a Louis IX's life c.1246 during the "Noble's Revolt" and the King rewarded him and also Jean de Catalogne who had just saved his life in one of his Holy Crusades, in Egypt. Both were held in high esteem by the Court of France, in succeeding generations since those early times. The D'Amours and Catalorgne would inter-marry several times.
The DAMOURS were furthermore rewarded by LOUIS XII by having a seat on the "Conseil Royal" (Royal Council): Sieur François Damours du Serrin was appointed on July 5th 1489, both as Councillor and as Maitre d' of King Louis XII's household.
Francois D'Amours married seven years later Gillemette Hennequin, daughter of Sieur Pierre Hennequin de Mathau, Scavières, Blines et Saint-Utin and of Marguerite de Marle. François and Gillette signed their marriage contract at
Me Perrault, Notary, on August 10 1496.
All his descendants were kept as advisors by the subsequent Kings of France, until the French Revolution of 1789. The D'Amours people were reliable, trusthworthy and did not usually get mixed up in Court intrigue. That is why even Louis XIV had Gabriel D'Amours, half-brother to Mathieu Damours, as his Confessor: they gave good advice.
1450 - First D'Amours coat-of-arms
granted to Mathurin D'Amours by the King of France: « d’argent au porc-épic de sable accompagné en chef d’un lambel et en pointe de trois clous de même » Which means: "On Silver backdrop, a sable porcupine, "lambel" on top, three nails below"
As per'Précis d’héraldique' by Théodore Veyrin-Forrer, Larousse, Paris, 1951.
The 15th century French ancestors were: MATHURIN D'AMOURS (1399-1459), Seigneur du Serrin, born in 1399, who married Marguerite de Bridée and received the first Damours Family Crest in 1450
Now, attention, not all researchers agree on the next-in-line: most say François D'Amours, born in 1455, but I believe they skipped one generation, and that Pierre D'amours, born in 1425 in Durtal, Anjou, was father to Francois.

FRANCOIS D'AMOURS (1455-1510), seigneur du Serrin, maitre d'hotel de Sa Majeste, who on August 10th 1496, married GILLETTE HENNEQUIN in Paris.
Their son, GABRIEL D'AMOURS, seigneur du Serrin, born in Durtal, Anjou, was married on June 14 1531, at the time when Jacques Cartier was preparing for one of his famous trips to America, in Paris to MADELEINE DE BIDAUT, daughter of Charles de Bidaut (secretary to the King) and Catherine Auvrillot de Champlastroux.

Gabriel and Madeleine's son, Pierre D'AMOURS, a knight, sieur du Serrin, Conseiller d'Etat et prive du Roi, surintendant of Justice in Troyes, France, also had several children after he married in Paris on January 13th 1561 JEANNE LE PREVOST, daughter of Jean Le Prevost, counsellor to the King, and Anne Leclerc.
In years to come, one of their relatives, Elisabeth Prevost
would become the Mother
of Francoise Foucault who would marry in 1701 Jean-Francois Lemire Marsolet and they would start a dynasty from Trois-Rivières.
So, yes, Louis D'Amours, the second son to Pierre D'AMOURS, was married in St-Gervais, on September 11 1614 to Anne de Gravelle, and Louis D'Amours had a son by ELISABETH TESSIER (daughter of Jean-Valere Tessier and Livia Branbille), Mathieu, born in 1618 in the Parish of St-Paul, in Paris.
Mathieu D'Amours Family coat-of-arms where the porcupine was changed for a 'Sanglier', a boar, as was approved on October 8 1725 by the Conseil Souverain for Mathieu's son, Philippe DAMOURS.
When Mathieu was 33 yrs old, he came to New France to marry MARIE MARSOLET, who was 15 yrs old and was the eldest child of Nicholas Marsolet & Marie LeBarbier.
Mathieu arrived in Quebec in 1651 with the Governor Lauzon. His sister Elisabeth was on the same ship, married to Louis-Théandre Chartier de Lotbinière, whose Mother was the First Chambermaid of the Queen.
Mathieu D'Amours was "Major des Troupes" and was member of the Conseil Souverain from 1663 to his death in 1695, succeeded by his son Mathieu.
Mathieu D'Amours and Marie Marsolet, daughter of
NICOLAS MARSOLET
and
Marie Le Barbier
(or de La Barbide du Bocage)
were married in 1652, a year which the Archbishop of Rouen declared as Jubilee. Mathieu and Marie, with their large family, had a house in Quebec city and another home in New Brunswick (l'Acadie) and earlier on they led a quiet life between the two homes, registering themselves in Quebec, but spending most of their time at their Riviere St-Jean establishment.
Mathieu and Marie had sixteen children but only 11 survived. All their sons were titled. Their children were: Nicolas, Joseph, Commander of "La Renommee", Louis (1655) Mathieu (1657), Elisabeth (1658), Rene (1660), Charles (1662), Claude (1666), Bernard (1667), Genevieve (1673), Marie-Jacquette (1675), Marguerite (1677), Philippe(1680).
Mathieu Damours (the Father)remained in New France for the rest of his life, serving his Sovereigns. He became member of the Conseil Souverain, when it was first created. His seat on the Conseil Souverain was then given to his son Mathieu, who from then on, to meet their requirements had to live in Quebec city, as opposed to being at his Riviere Saint-Jean, New Brunswick property with Louise, where his young family of three sons and also the two daughters of his eldest brother Louis which were in their care, Charlotte and Marie-Josephe, had spent most of their time.
In 1681, four years after the death of Mathieu D'Amours's Father-in-Law, Nicholas Marsolet de Saint-Aignan, the Governor of New France, Frontenac, imprisoned him without just cause and it was one of the events which led to Frontenac's recall to France in 1682. It was due to Mathieu's wife Marie and his in-laws (brothers-in-law) that he was released (read the story under FRONTENAC
Again, Mathieu D'Amours came from a powerful family which had served faithfully the Kings of France since Louis IX when one D'Amours saved his life in the "Nobles' Revolt, c.1246, but it had been a powerful family even before then. Click here for a list of some of the French Kings In 1664, Mathieu's half-brother Gabriel was the Confessor to the King (Louis XIV) and another half-brother, Pierre, was "Grand Marechal de France". His full sister, Elizabeth D'Amours, married Louis Chartier de Lotbiniere. Mathieu D'Amours' Father was Louis Damours, First Counselor to the French King Henri IV, then LOUIS XIII his Paris Castle, which would be better known as

1686 - TWO DAMOURS BROTHERS MARRY TWO GUYON SISTERS:
The first two sons of Marie Marsolet and Mathieu D'Amours, Louis and Mathieu D'AMOURS lived lives which were so intertwined, even after Mathieu, the youngest of the two brothers, died in 1696, that their story has to be told together.
LOUIS D'AMOURS, son of Marie Marsolet and Mathieu Damours was named after his paternal Grand-Father. He married Marguerite Guyon the same day as his brother Mathieu married her sister Louise (who was already a 18 years old widow, with a few months old boy named Joseph, son of Charles Thibault), on October 1, 1686.
It is a fact that Villebon, when Governor of Acadia, accused the boys (7 of them) of the Damours household of being independant, irresponsible, and to be unproductive and interested only in pleasure, (and Villebon must have dearly regretted the comments, for Mathieu's death happened because Mathieu courageously went to Villebon's rescue) but the barb was definitly aimed at Mathieu who was a slightly un-ruly young man: charming, fun, listening to the person in front of him, never at a loss for a word, loved by everyone around him, but it was unfair to call him unproductive, as his farm on the St-John River was THE model per excellence... and he was very dependable, hard working and was grateful for both his parents and children, which were not fickle qualities.
... Naturally, all the boys had been raised by their Mother, Marie Marsolet de Saint-Aignan. She had yet to learn austerity and rigidity. Her greatest quality was to be a loving, giving and versatile person. Marie was tall for a woman and quite striking, and she was an effervescent, changeable, inventive, impulsive, headstrong, empathic lady who liked to gossip, enjoyed travelling and defended her children like an ogre. It was not conducive to her boys having a calm or boring demeanour. You had to be fast on your toes with this Mom, as she might change her mind in a blink...
It is a certainty that Mathieu's Father would have been heartbroken by his early death, he had been the "chosen one" to follow him on the Conseil Souverain in 1689, but he was spared this since he died before his son. Still, Mathieu's death in 1696 was a blow to the whole family, especially for his brother Louis who carried a grudge against the English who had killed him and had also been responsible indirectly for his own wife Marguerite's death the same year and he devoted the rest of his life to getting some revenge.
When Mathieu married Louise Guyon, she had been a widow, but he swayed her off her feet and she settled with ease with her life with him, giving him several children in their ten years of marriage, but only three boys survived. After Mathieu's death, though keeping an eye on both her own children and her sister Marguerite's two daughters, Louise GUYON simply resumed an active, pleasurable social life. Because of her caring disposition and beauty, she had always been welcomed everywhere and it continued to be so. Though she had many affairs, she never re-married, and the offers for her hand must have been many, for not only was she eminently presentable, but she was a woman of means. For several reasons, she was one of the most "talked about" lady in New France. Whatever she did, wore, said, was reported again and again, gaining something in the saying.
At the 1686 joint wedding ceremony of LOUIS and MATHIEU (Marsolet) D'AMOURS was their cousin, Suzanne Guyon Despres, daughter of Madeleine Marsolet and Francois Guyon des Pres, who in the year 1701 fell in love with Philippe-Olivier Morel de La Durantaye, Sieur Du Houssay, and bore him a child out-of-wedlock, Marie-Henriette, who died two weeks after birth. Suzanne and Philippe would be counted in the 103 people who died in January 1703 in the city of Quebec during the smallpox epidemic. You can read this story as told by Dan Cote in his French website at ww3.sympatico.ca/jokanaan/archives/guyonmorel.html

> LOUISE GUYON d'AMOURS,
where love, scandal, courage and fame meet:
Louise (Racine) Guyon lived many events, moreso after marrying Mathieu (Marsolet) D'Amours. Let us go back when her sister Marguerite was married to Louis, the brother of Louise's husband, in the year 1696:
Louis Damours, Sieur des Chaufours, seigneur de Jemsee, Acadie, lost his beloved wife Marguerite Guyon, in 1696, 10 years after their wedding and never remarried. They had had several children but only his two daughters survived to adulthood. He bought a ketch captured by the famous d'Iberville and his vessel took part in the attack on Fort Pemquid in 1696 with LEMOYNE d'Iberville, his cousin-in-law, and his friend Vincent de St-Castin and he was later captured by the English and made prisonner at Boston for over 2 years.
Eventually, LOUIS D'AMOURS de CHAUFFOUR's daughter Marie-Josephe (b.1694) D'Amours married Pierre Mospain (Morpain) and his daughter Charlotte (b.1690) married in 1707 in Annapolis (Acadie) Anselme d'ABBADIE de St.Castin, son of Vincent. As it was, LOUIS continued sailing his ship and being a privateer for the French. In 1696, the care of his two daughters, Charlotte and Josephe, was left to his large family, including to Louise Guyon, Marguerite's sister and widow of his brother Mathieu, who was widowed the same year as he was, in 1696.
His brother, Mathieu, died following wounds received during an English assault by Colonel John Hathorne on Fort St-Joseph, NAXOUAT (Nashwaak) on the St.John River, which was the Headquarters of General Joseph Robinau de VILLEBON. Mathieu D'Amours, the youngest, contributed to the it's defense and victory, but his own farmhouse was burnt with it's 150 fowls, 50 hogs and 22 cattle heads stolen or destroyed by the British. Despite Villebon's unfair accusations of feckleness, Mathieu did not hesitate in going to his help when the British attacked him. Until 1696 Mathieu's farm was a great example of the possibilities in farming in the New world. His brother Louis had helped him build also a sawmill there. As it was, his two girls, Charlotte and Josie (Marie-Josephe), and his brother's sons, Joseph (c.1685-1686), Louis(1689) and François-Mathieu(1692), Nicolas(1694), Jean (1696)(a.k.a.Mathieu) both sets of children had lost a parent that year, one a mom, the other a dad. These children, double-cousin, were all of the same age, and were raised together in their wide extended families, mostly by Louise.
Louise Guyon was a very beautiful woman and she eventually, in 1700, went to live in Port-Royal with 3 of her sons and daughters Charlotte and Josie (read nieces). There she became the mistress of its governor, Jacques-Francois de BROUILLAN (1655-1705) who became Governor of Plaisance in 1705. (Brouillan was the son of Jacques de Monbeton-Bourouillan, seigneur de Bourrouillan, dioçèse of AUCH, France, and of Demoiselle George Dupouy. He "abjured" his Protestant faith in 1687, the year of his arrival to Canada, and was made "Chevalier St-Louis" in 1698. He had a nephew, Joseph de Brouillan de St-Ovide, who was a lieutenant in Plaisance in 1705, and became Governor of Ile Royale (Louisbourg) for 22 years, suceeding Pastour de Costebelle in 1717.
Louise, as time went on, also became interested in the second-in-command and she extended her favours to him, Simon Pierre Denys de Bonaventure (he was married but his wife was in Quebec)... When Denys offered Louise the better accomodation of his house, she accepted. It was a hushed scandal, tongues wagging, especially when it was found that she was expecting his child... Antoine was born in Port Royal on September 7, 1703 and he was baptized 2 months later... Now the tongues reached Denys' wife in Quebec and she came to Port Royal, unwilling to relinquish her rights, but the two lovers were still seeing one another. Finally, in 1707, the Governor told him he would be forced to leave his job if he did not put a stop to the scandal. Denys decided to severe his relationship with Louise and left for another post. He died without seing her again, in 1711.
This is how, Louise, widow of Mathieu D'Amours, became the most "talked about" woman in New France... Yet, she was still taking an active interest in all her children's welfare, including Charlotte and Marie-Josephe as their subrogate Mother. Years later, in 1708, in Quebec, Louise GUYON d'AMOURS de la FRESNEUSE was still received in the most closed circles of the capital.
Louise Guyon had great courage and in 1711, she was also part of the daring plan (which failed) in retaking Port Royal from the British which was designed by her son-in-law, Anselme de St-Castin, risking her life acting as a spy, arriving alone with her second son and one Abenaki, in the middle of winter, in a canoe, crossing the Bay of Fundy and asking shelter to the British Commander of the town, which was granted... and soon after the English fell in a trap at the Bloody Bridge Battle and she escaped with the French.
