A carpenter by trade.His first marriage was to MathurinePoisson 10-8-1647 in Quebec. In 1649, he and his wife returned to France to LaRochelle where a daughter, Marie-Anne was born in 1650. Perhaps a business trip because they had left an infant son in the care of family, undoubtedly, in Trois-Rivi?res. He and his familyremained in France until 1652 when he returned to Canada and the Trois-Rivi?res settlement where a concession of land awaited him in Cap-de-la-Madeleine.Jacques Aubuchon had a half brother, Jean Aubuchon dit l'Esperance active in the fur trade living in Trois-Rivi?res, and Mathurine Poisson's widowed father, a lime maker who arrived in the early 1630's with Champlainas a valet (source: PREFEN http://www.unicaen.fr/mrsh/prefen/formPion.php ) was there also, as well as Mathurine Poisson's brother and sister.In 1658, Mathurine is considered a merchant (n?gociante). In May of that year, she was taken to court by ancestor Louis Pinard, a physician,for payment of 9 livres to be paid in the best beaver pelts that she hadpromised. She was made topay another 5 livres in the best beaver pelts within a month as well as the expenses. (source: "Visages du vieuxTrois-Rivi?res" Tome I.)Around 1665, Jacques Aubuchon and ancestor Pierre LeBoulanger testified against Madame Crevier, mother-in-law of PierreBoucher, that she and her relatives sold liquor to the Indians. (source: "Visages du vieux Trois-Rivieres" Tome I). Thiswas a serious accusation of a crime punishable by as much as death, but it wason ongoing problem wherever there were trading posts.From the same source, is a notation that in June 1669, Jacques Aubuchon was witness before Royal Notary, ancestor Cusson, to a settlement regarding orphan, Michel Arsenault, and his keeper,Claude Herlin. The issue was taken before the Judge and ancestor Quentin Moral.Mathurine Poisson died sometime around 1665 after the birth of her last child and the summer of 1666 when on the census of that year, she is listed as deceased. Together, Jacques Aubuchon and Mathurine Poisson had hadeightchildren.Also on the census, Jacques Aubuchon is listed as living in the region of Trois-Rivieres as a habitant and master carpenter. He was able to sign his name. At the timehehad five sons living with him, the eldest being 14 and the lasttwo aged 2 and 1.Jacques Aubuchon married for a second time in November of 1667 at Cap-de-la-Madeleine to Marguerite Itasse, a fille-du-roi from France, and a woman 30 yearsyounger than he. Together they had four children. The second daughter, Marguerite Aubuchon married to Pierre Desrosiers dit Dargie is my direct ancestor.A record for Notary Normandin indicates: "Vente d'une terre de 2 arpents de front sur40arpents de profondeur, ? Champlain, h?rit?e de son fils, Ren? Aubuchon-Dubuc parJacquesAubuchon, dudit lieu, ? Pierre Desrosiers (1 octobre 1693)." Translation: The sale of a lot of 2 arpents frontage and 40 arpents deep, in Champlain, inherited by Jacques Aubuchon from his son Ren? Abuchon-Dubuc, also of Champlain, to Pierre Desrosiers (Oct. 1, 1693). At this time, Pierre Desrosiers was Jacques Aubuchon's son-in-law.The Aubuchon family was settled in the Trois-Rivieresareawithother notable settlers such as Pierre Lefebvre, Etienne LaFond, Antoine Desrosiers, Jacques Hertel, Jean-Baptiste Godefroy and Michel LeNeuf. They were all known to one anotherand part of the enterprise of fur trading. And they were all ancestors.Jacques Aubuchon died in December of 1701 in Trois-Rivi?res just after his 84th birthday
