He found himself on land at Cote Saint-Sulpice which, at that point, was opening forcolonization. Later the area becameknown asCote de Lachine.Less than 3 years later, Pierre Barbary dit Grandmaison entered into a marriagecontract in front ofthe notary Basset with Marie Lebrun. originally from Saint-Jacques de Dieppe inRouen, Normandy.She was the daughter of Jacques Lebrun and Marie Michel. He married her, on the same day, atVille Marie in Montreal (February 24, 1668). Ten children were born to them during the following20 years. On the morning after a stormy nightsomething hit them full force.IntheSpring of 1687 the King sent 12 companies of marines in a fleet of 6 vessels to New France asGovenor Denonville was worried about guerilla warfare on the part ofthe Iroquois against the colony.On June 13, 1687, a large part of the colony left Montrealin the direction of the Five Nations Iroquois.Denonville and his 1200 soldiers 30 Iroquois and some 90 women and children with great force.Certain of the prisoners were sent to France to serve the French King. Denonvill's troops destroyedeverything in their path, destroying their possessions and leaving them with little more than theirlives. The victory was complete and the survivors were decimated by the famine that followed.The Iroquois came to Ile de Montreal at the head of Lachine. They spent a stormy night dispersingand moving into position for amassive attack. At dawn they massacred more than 200 people -- men,women and children, and tortured and imprisoned more than 100 more.Terror spread through the colony. Denonville was recalled to France by the King who replaced himby Louis de Baude, best known as Frontenac. Thiswas his second voyage to America. The manof 67 years was the only man capable of making peace between the English and Iroquois. Heundertook, uponarrival, to build fortifications at Montreal, Trois Tivieres and Quebec.Pierre Barbary, his wife, Marie Lebrun, and a large part of their children did not survive.Pierre Richon writes: "During the twenty years this couple was married ten children were born.Only three survived to adulthood --- the others died young, killed or burnet with their parents bythe Iroquois during the famous massacre at Lachine on August 5, 1689".Thanks to all the Barbary dit Grandmaison family.Thank youto AndreCarriere and Damasse Toupin for their precious writings regarding this family.Claude Latour.! from PRDH: "Faitprisonnierlors du massacre de Lachine, le 5 Aout 1689, il est mort en captivit?.
