Crevet

or Crevel

Marie Crevet is unusual in our family tree, having been married to two of our ancestors (Robert Caron and Noël Langlois), though she had children only by Caron, an ancestor of Marie-Eva Jean. Langlois is a Martin ancestor.

Pierre Crevet or Crevel and his wife Marie Le Mercier lived in Beneauville or Benouville, commune de Chicheboville, in the Calvados region of Normandy. They were married in July 1613, no doubt at the church pictured above. There is no evidence that they emigrated to Canada, and so it is somewhat of a mystery why their daughter Marie was there in 1637, at the age of twenty-two or so. She was not a "fille du roi" as that program had not yet started. But she did come from the same village as her first husband Robert Caron; presumably the marriage was arranged there, and Marie was sent over to join Robert when she was old enough. They were married in October 1637 at Québec city. Marie's birth year is estimated by different sources as anywhere from 1614 to 1621. She died in November 1695 in Baie-St-Paul.

Robert and Marie Caron had at least nine children: Marie (1639; captured by Huron Indian raiders - fate unknown); Jean-Baptiste (1641-1706); Robert (1647-1714, ancestor of the Dionne quintuplets); Cathérine (1649-1725); Joseph (1652-1711); Pierre (1654-1720); Aimée (1655-1685); and another Marie (1656-1660).

Joseph Caron and his wife Elisabeth-Marie Bernier were great-great-great-great-grandparents of Marie Eva Jean.
