Notes:

Also called Marthe Quitter.

She was a fille du rois, a "daughter of the king." By 1660 or so it had become apparent that the fledgling North American colony of New France was badly short of marriageable women. To ameliorate this, between 1663 and 1673 the French government recruited respectable young women of limited prospects and, after vetting them for suitability, provided each of them with a small dowry, a chest of clothes, and one-way passage to Quebec. The approximately 800 women who made this journey became known as the "filles du roi", the "daughters of the King." Millions of modern French-Canadians can trace their descent from them, quite often from several.

Marthe married Barthélemy Verreault dit Bourguignon on 22 Sep 1665 in Château-Richer, Montmorency, Québec. Barthélemy (son of Michel Verreault and Claudine Rocher) was born between 1631 and 1632 in Saint-Jean, Dijon, Côte-d'Or, Burgundy, France; died on 17 Dec 1700; was buried on 19 Dec 1700 in Château-Richer, Montmorency, Québec.
