Jean Baptiste Dumontet

  General Notes:

Jean Baptiste Dumontet, born and baptized on 27 June 1724 at Laprairie, godparents Pierre Lerige (Lériger) and Charlotte Pinconneau (Pinsonnault?) (PRDH no. 18613). He was confirmed on 9 March 1731 at Laprairie (PRDH no. 403344). Jean married first Suzanne Charbonneau, the daughter of deceased Jean Charbonneau and deceased Anne Ebert (Hébert) on23 November 1744, Varennes, Verchères County, Québec (PRDH no. 183457). The bride and groom were unable to sign. The witnesses were Augustin Ebert (Hébert) and Jacques Boyer. Jean married second Marie Josephe Jetté, the widow of Antoine Archambault, on 26 September 1753 at St-Denis-sur-Richelieu, St-Hyacinthe County, Québec (PRDH no. 325552).The groom was 29 and the bride 44! Fr. Louis Normand, the vicar general, dispensed the reading of two of the bans in the parishes of St-Antoine and Varennes and Fr. Jean Baptiste Lacoudray of Varennes furnished a certificate that the bans were published once in the parish of the husband. The witnesses included Jean Louis Bourgrette, Augustin Heber, and Joseph Archambault and François Archambault the brothers-in-law of the bride. I can find no record for Jean Baptiste's death in the PRDH database. However, we know that he was present at the marriage of his daughter Suzanne Isabelle Dumontet to Pierre Archambault on1 February 1762 at St-Antoine-sur-Richelieu, Verchères County, Québec(PRDH no. 331414). Therefore, he must have died after 1 February 1762.
