Marin and Perrine arrived in New France as part of the "Percherone Immigration", a group of families and some single men from the region of Perche in the Province of Normandy who came over in 1634 to colonize Beauport, a seigneurie granted to Robert Giffard, physician to the colony. Marin and his family and his cousin Gaspard Boucher, came on the "St. Jehan" under Capt. Pierre Nesle, landed at Tadoussac on 31 May and arrived in Québec on 4 June 1634. The colonists lived temporarily in the Habitation (Fort St. Louis) which was the ford and residence built by Samuel de Champlain in 1608 in Québec before moving down river to Beauport.

Prior to leaving for New France, Marin sold his house to Jean Guyon who himself emigrated to New France in 1634.

The Commandant of Trois Rivières, Marc Antoine Bras de Fer de Châteaufort assumed the duties of interim governor after the death of Samuel de Champlain. He presided at the reading of Champlain's will in which is stated: "I give to Marin, mason, living near the house of the Recollet Fathers, the last suit that I had made from material which I got at the store".

On 24 Aug. 1638 Marin gave testimony on the circumstances of the voyage of Gaspard Boucher "his relative" (probably his cousin, NOT his brother) who also arrived in 1634. Marin first worked a piece of land that the Recollets had abandoned in 1629 following the surrender of Québec to the Kirke brothers. Later, he took a farm with his brother-in-law Thomas Hayot on land of the Jesuits at Beauport. On 11 June 1648 the Jesuit Journal reports that the two farmers separated with Hayot keeping the farm and Marin taking a farm next to that of Olivier Tardif.

Marin and his family then moved to the Beaupré coast and he sold his former farm of 3 arpents in frontage on the St. Charles River "from the stream which separates the cleared field of the Reverend Fathers Recollets from the deserted property formerly of Jacques Caumont". Marin claimed to have received this land from the Company of New France but the Recollets claimed it as belonging to them when they returned to Canada in 1670.

On 6 Mar. 1656 Marin signed a note for 176 livres for the Fabrique de Québec, an old debt contracted from the Compagnie des Habitants. Marin gave 1 1/2 arpents in frontage to his son-in-law, Louis Houde, which was returned to Marin on 13 Sept. 1655. He gave 2 arpents to his son-in-law Jean Plante on 15 Apr. 1656 for which he received a receipt on 7 Feb. 1659. He increased this by 8 perches on 8 July and the right of way on 27 Sept. 1668. He gave 2 arpents to his son, Jean Galleran on 30 Apr. 1656 and added an additional 7 1/2 perches on 15 Dec. 1662. He made a similar gift to his son Guillaume on 29 July 1670. At the 1667 census, Marin Boucher of Coste de Beaupré (Château Richer) stated he was age 80, Perrine Malet, his wife, age 63, a child Guillaume, age 20, and had 8 head of cattle and 20 arpents under cultivation.

His epitaph is given in the registry of Château Richer: "In the year of Our Lord Jesus Christ 1671, on the 29th of March died Marin Boucher after having lived as a good Christian and received the Holy sacrements of eucharist, penance and the last rights of extreme unction, was buried in the cemetery of Château Richer by Monsieur Morel accompanied by the Reverend Father Nouvelle and by me doing priestly functions for them on the coast of Beaupré." Signed F. Fillion, missionary priest.

In 1681 Perrine Mallet was listed in the census along with Antoine Voilon, a tailor, who was in her employ.

Marin and Perinne are commemorated with the other early pioneers on a plaque in Québec City.

Marin and his family are one of the most prolific ancestors of French Canada with an estimated 350,000 descendants today.

In 1666 Jean Galeran, Pierre Boucher, Marie Boucher and Marie LeClerc were living in Beaupré and he was listed as being a mason. By 1681 he was living at Bouteillerie and owned two guns, 15 head of cattle and 6 arpents of land and was a wheelwright.

Jean Galeran moved to the South Shore where he was a pioneer of the town of Rivière-Ouelle. The town was attacked during King William's War by a party led by Sir William Phipps in Oct. 1690 and Jean Galleran was among the 39 "Heros of Rivière-Ouelle" who defended the town. Phipps and his troops had been pillaging along the St. Lawrence coast on their way to lay siege to Québec city. He was repulsed by the ambush at Rivière-Ouelle and was later unsuccessful in his attack on Québec.

Baptismal records for Sauveur and Marguérite- St. Pierre de Sorel

The marriage record for Sauveur and Marguérite has not been found. Fortunately, "Maggie" gave her birthdate as May 1818 in the 1900 census. A Marguérite Coté, daughter of Gabriel Coté and Sophie Gautron was baptized that month in St. Pierre and is undoubtedly our Marguérite.

"Sover Bushey" is listed in the 1851 Census for Compton, Sherbrooke Co. as being a blacksmith, age 39, along with his wife Margt. age 34, Daniel age 14, Oliver age 12, Mary age 10, Valleur age 9, Delia age 7, Mary age 5, Zelia age 3 and Alice age 1. All were born in Canada. Their house was listed as being a log home, one story with a blacksmith shop on the property. The Agricultural Census did not list the range and lot number, however, Sover was among the folks living in Range 7, around lots 7 and 8. The Bouchers had one horse, 7 sheep, and 3 pigs and were not cultivating any land.(1)
