I am including two different Morins on this page, even though they are probably not related, since we know so little about any of them. Not included here is the family of Claude Morin and Jeanne Moreau; they have a separate page as we do know a great deal about them.

1. The Marie Morin who married Étienne Dauphin on November 15, 1665 in Québec city was the daughter of François Morin and Charlotte Roulant. They had nine children before Étienne died in 1693 in Beauport; Marie then married Pierre Chaignon and, after he died, Paul Oudan. She was buried February 10, 1728 at the Hôpital Général, Québec city. Her parents (according to her report) lived in the parish of St-Jean-en-Grève in Paris, but no record of them has been found there. However, a surprising number of other Canadian families originated there. The thirteenth-century church (above) is now called St.Jean-St.François; it is in the Marais district.

2. Another Marie Morin is presumably a native of Angoulême, because she married Jacques Marié there about 1652, and was the mother of the immigrant ancestor Thomas Marié. Nothing more is known about her. She died in October 1702 at St-Foy in Québec.

There are at least ten other Morin families in early Québec: from Niort, Chartres, the Mortagne, St-Planchers, St-Malo, Thury-Harcourt, Plaine-Haute, and Nonancourt - in other words, from all over the northern half of France.
