In 1651 there was a need for Men to defend the perimeter of the newly created Ville-Marie (Montreal).
The Iroquois were attacking French settlers, especially in Hochelaga (Ville-Marie / Montréal), but at times they were venturing even further than Trois-Rivières, endangering the whole French colony.
At the behest of Jeanne Mance, M. Paul Chomedey de Maisonneuve went to France to bring back one hundred men, and some women and a few children. It took two years.
Gathering people from Picardie, Champagne, Ile-de-France, Normandie, Anjou and Maine, especially in LaFlèche where M. De La Deauversière is well known, the 100 complement (with many retired soldiers and their families) is finally reached by the spring of 1653, everyone signing agreements and contracts, some abjuring their protestant faith, as Caen, Rouen, LaRochelle and many other coastal cities have Huguenots or Calvinists residents who are now forbidden to practice their faith, but who have to become Catholics before being allowed in New-France.
The ship starts from Nantes, under the command of Captain Pierre le Besson.
The original departure is scheduled for April 30th, then for May 12th, and then for June 20th, when it sails... not for long: 350 leagues into the trip the Captain orders the ship to go back.
Some major repairs have to be made and the people are kept on a small island to prevent their return home occur. It finally leaves on July 20th 1653 and it will reach Quebec city on September 22nd, and the Governor de Lauzon tries to have the settlers go live in the l'Ile d'Orleans, near Quebec city, but de Maisonneuve sticks to his guns and manages to find the long-boats (barques) necessary for the transfer of his people, who will reach Montreal on November 14th 1653.
A few years later, in 1659, another large complement of people arrive in Montreal on the St-André ship, (Click here for passenger list of St-André in 1659) and bring more women to New-France.
At the death of Samuel de Champlain on December 25th 1635, there were few women in Quebec since his own wife , Helene Boule (Boulay) returned to France after an unpleasant experience, and he thereafter did not encourage the feminine element in la Nouvelle-France.

103 received money for their services, paid on board, at the Saint-Nazaire quay, before the Ship sailed away, by the Notaire Belliotte. When there is an * it means that there were known descendants which remained in Canada. However if there is a minus sign - , the person did not make it, either to the boat or across the ocean.
