Jacques Mete' Descendants

Picture here is a likeness of Charles Le Moyne de Longueuil, taken from the Canadian Military Heritage site. This likeness supposedly dates from about 1750. Second baron de Longueuil, b. at Longueuil, 18 Oct., 1687: d. on 17 Jan., 1755. He entered the army quite young, and, after having served in France, was appointed major of Montreal(1733), and received the cross of St. Louis (1734). As Governor of Montreal(1749) he administered the colony after Jonquière's death. He saved from suppression the General Hospital of Venerable Madame d'Youville, maliciously threatened with destruction. He married Catherine Charlotte de Gray in 1720. The Baron served in the garrison of New France for many years as part of the Montreal general Staff. In 1739-1740 he commanded the Canadian expedition which fought the Chickasaws in Louisiana. Earlier is was noted that Jacques Mete' served under the leadership of the Baron and the Baron was listed in the marriage record of Jacques first marriage ...

His parents are listed as Jacques Mete' and Jacquette Durandet. The bride is named as Francoise LeBeau, daughter of Rene LeBeau and Madeleine Guertin, a widow.

The record is from Ste Famille Catholic Church at Boucherville, Canada. Although the record lists her age as being 42, other records list her birth as 4 October 1703 at Boucherville, so it is more probable that she was only 38 years of age at time of death. She died in the eleventh year of their marriage.

I wish each of you a very joyous and blessed New Year. It has been a pleasure to share some of the family history with you during these past months and it is my hope that many of you will be able to find time during this coming year to share some of your family photos, stories and history with me.
