8. Jean Baptiste
Sedilot dit Montreuil (Louis ) was
born on 26 Jan 1647 in St-Michel near Quebec. He was christened on 26
Jan 1649 in St-Michel near Quebec.
JEAN BAPTISTE MONTREUIL, born 27 January 1647, last
child of six children born to Louis SEDILOT and Marie GRIMOULT was our
forefather. Jean was our voyageur with early travel from New France to
our Illinois Territory. When the Indians of the territory showed our
voyageurs a better and warmer way to get to the Mississippi River, a
number of Frenchmen went south for furs, riches and land to claim. This
was the now Chicago Canal (Start of the Illinois River) avoiding the
harsh climate of the overland route around the great lake. The first
voyageurs experienced many hardships and failures from the years 1673
to 1691. A friendly tribe of Kaskaskia Indians endured migration with
the French and ever present Jesuit priest. The SAGA started with Starve
Rock, Lake Peoria (Creve Coeur and Fort St. Louis) then the River Des
Peres in our now St. Louis. Going south they settled near the mouth of
the now Kaskaskia River because of the great number of Frenchmen
arriving at the trading post.
These pioneers in the western world were surrounded by a wilderness
inhabited only by Indians and wild beasts. With no communication with
civilized man, except through tedious voyages of the traders to New
Orleans and occasional visits to and from the village of Cahokia and
Vincennes - yet no people probably enjoyed life better than they did.
They were frank, open-hearted, brotherly, contented and joyous.
Bringing with them the gayeties and vivacity of Paris life. The variety
of social amusement and enjoyment of lifeâs pleasures gave the
Jesuits fits. However, the city of Kaskaskia grew to a population of
7000 plus and was the little Paris of the Prairie. An earthquake and a
flood created the island of Kaskaskia. The poor treatment by the
Virginia roughnecks and the Civil War forced many French families to
move to Missouri. French towns thrive on the Mississippi maintaining
the old French structures and street of the original settlements.
Jean Baptiste, son of Louis Sedilot, was named JEAN, however, with
the crew that brought Father Allouez to Kaskaskia there were two Jeans:
Jean Baptiste St. Gemme Beauvais and our Jean. For control of the crew
in voice commands our Jean became Baptiste. The given name under Father
Allouez made a family name, Jean Baptiste, for all our ancestors that
followed.
Jean Baptiste, 1647, died 11 April 1766. Jean Baptiste Montreuil, at
the age of 21, married Marie RAPIN, age 19 at the Notre Dameâs
Church in Montreal on 23 December 1711.
Jean married (1) Marie Claire (or Charlotte?)
de La Hogue daughter of Gilles de La Hogue and Marie LeBrun on 27
Nov 1669 in Quebec(was a "Kings
Daughters" Filles du Roi. Marie was born in Sep 1651 in St
Germain Le Vieil, Archbishopry Paris, France. She died on 26 Aug 1687
in Quebec City, Quebec, Canada.
The first voyageurs probably returned to New France
each winter. The families could survive during the warm weather, but
the man of the house was needed to get through the winter. Our Jean was
married to Marie-Claire de LAHOGUE and had five children prior to his
first trip to Kaskaskia. That trip with Father Allouez was down the
Mississippi from Green Bay. The Illinois River route was having trying
times with the hostile Indians (Iroquois Nation). Robert De La Salle
and his lieutenant Tonti in their effort to establish a line of posts
from Canada down the Illinois River to the Mississippi River to the
Gulf of Mexico. The failure of Starve Rock, Peoria Lakeâs Fort
St. Louis and Creve Coeur slowed the completion of such a route. To
prove the need for a man of the house during the winter, Jean Baptiste
and Marie-Claire had five more children from 1677 to 1687. Marie-Claire
died 26 August 1687 when her last child was only six days old. A girl
name Claudine-Maratine dite Marguerite was born 20 August 1687. She was
the last of ten children by Marie-Claire LaHogue.
The filles du roi, or King's Daughters, were some 770 women who arrived
in the colony of New France (Canada) between 1663 and 1673, under the
financial sponsorship of King Louis XIV of France. Most were single
French women and many were orphans. Their transportation to Canada and
settlement in the colony were paid for by the King. Some were given a
royal gift of a dowry of 50 livres for their marriage to one of the
many unmarried male colonists in Canada. These gifts are reflected in
some of the marriage contracts entered into by the filles du roi at the
time of their first marriages.
The filles du roi were part of King Louis XIV's program to promote the
settlement of his colony in Canada. Some 737 of these women married and
the resultant population explosion gave rise to the success of the
colony. Most of the millions of people of French Canadian descent
today, both in Quebec and the rest of Canada and the USA (and beyond!),
are descendants of one or more of these
courageous women of the 17th
century.

The second wife, Charlotte-Francoise POITRAS gave birth
to a son named JEAN BAPTISTE in 1689 son of âJEAN BAPTISTEâ
1647. Father and son continued the traffic from New France to
Kaskaskia. The fur industry was a money maker with little effort by the
French. The Indians would trap and skin, and all they had to do was
barter and transport back to the market place in now Canada. Jean
Baptiste, 1689, became an expert oarsman with four and six man crews.
To add to his skills, he was a wheelwright. The wheel maker was in
great demand. Jean Baptiste and Charlotte-Francoise had nine children
with their first-born being Jean Baptiste, 1689.
