FOURTEENTH GENERATION

12288. Jean-Pierre Forgues DIT MONROUGEAU⁽¹³⁾ was born in 1637 in de St.Jean, ville de Montreal-des-Rivieres,diocese de Cominges, en Gascogne. He served in the military in 1665 in Regiment Carignan-Salières. Jean-Pierre served as an ordinary soldier in the Regiment Carignan-Salières, sent to Quebec from France by young King Louis XIV in 1665 to surpress the Iroquois uprising that was now destroying the colony of 'New France', after having wiped out all but 1,000 of the friendly Hurons. There were 24 Companies with 1200 soldiers and 80 officers. His Company in the RC-S was La Durantaye, which sailed from France on the ship Brézé (also spelled "Brèse").

Jean-Pierre Forgues was one of the 446 soldiers and officers who decided to remain in New France when the regiment was recalled to France at the end of their three year engagement. His name (and dit name) appear in the Regimental Roll Book list for 1668, the same year the Regiment returned to France. The original list was likely prepared for discharge and accounting purposes, as each soldier who settled in Canada was given a monetary bonus, along with the small parcel of land by the King of France. He died on 30 May 1703 in St Etienne, deBeaumont, Bellechase, Quebec. It is believed he was called Monrougeaut because of his "red head", or hair colour He was married to Marie Robineau on 16 Oct 1668 in Quebec.

12289. Marie Robineau was born in 1647 in St. Paul de Paris. She died on 7 Aug 1700 in Hotel-Dieu, Quebec, Quebec. As a young widow aged about 18 years, was one of les Filles du Roi (Daughters of the King). She sailed from Ile-de-France in 1666 or 67(?).

The Filles du Roi, or Daughters of the King, were distinguised from the other females who settled in New France by the fact that they were totally sponsored from the Royal Treasury in France. They were carefully selected for their youth, strength, health, attractiveness, and fertility. Many found themselves already 'spoken for' by the time they set foot in New France and were married shortly thereafter and many other marriages were 'arranged' shortly after their arrival.
