  6. [S1606] Maheu Family: On 20 June 1700 Pierre gave his livestock to his sons Charles and Pierre who were still living with them on the farm. On 6 Sept. they purchased the neighboring land of Rene Brisson for 4,000 livres. Pierre Jr. and his brother in law Joseph Garnier died in the small pox epidemic of 1703 and brother Charles then died in 1704. Charles' widow, Marie Charlotte Garnier, inherited the land at Beauport and the land at L'Ange Gardien went to Pierre's widow Louise Garnier. On 3 Feb. 1717 Pierre and Jeanne, who had retired to Beauport to their daughter Jeanne's home, gave her and her husband Paul Belanger, the 1 1/2 arpents of land which they had obtained from the estate of Robert Drouin at Chateau Richer. Pierre then died on 2 May 1717 and had lived to see 33 grandchildren and 38 great-grand children. Jeanne took the inventory of the estate on 7 July 1717, she had 400 livres of liquid assets, half of which she spent to have prayers said for her dead husband. On 23 Oct. the children left her in possession of the land in L'Ange Gardien and an annual pension of 14 minots of wheat, 4 of peas, 2 of oats, 50 bales of straw, 50 of hay, and 16 pounds of oakum (to chink holes in the cabin I suspect?). After her death they would have 24 low masses celebrated for her. Jeanne lived until Saint-Jean's day, 24 June 1732, she was 85 years old. - freepages.genealogy.ancestry.com/~mainegenie/MAHEU.htm.
