Jacques Goulet

Early life Thomas Goulet, the father of Jacques Goulet, lived in France in ancient Perche province's Normandel hamlet around 1593. The baptismal records of Saint-Maurice-lès-Charencey, a community two miles east of Normandel, document the birth of René Goulet on May 30, 1613, to Charles Goullet and his wife Susanne. It is likely that Charles Goullet is the brother of Thomas Goulet.

Thomas married Antoinette Feillard on April 28, 1613, in Normandel's Saint-Firmin church.

Jacques Goulet worked as a miller for Noël Juchereau on his farm, Les Chatelets in L'Hôme-Chamondot, France in 1645.

Moulin du Petit-Pré (Little Meadow Mill) commissioned in 1695 for the Séminaire de Québec under Mgr François de Montmorency-Laval's direction (by then in his simple priest capacity).

Noël Juchereau, a Company of One Hundred Associates investor, recruited Jacques Goulet to migrate to New France as Noël Juchereau's miller via a three-year-termed work contract at the end of which term Jacques Goulet was likely to be granted a land concession. Jacques Goulet was in his last year of a three-year contract to Noël Juchereau died in 1648.

Life in Canada Shortly after arriving at Québec, Goulet's wife Marguerite gave birth to their first child, Geneviève, on October 28, 1646. Geneviève died about six weeks later. She was buried on December 14, 1646.
