Pierre Roberge


All Roberge of North America are descendants of two brothers both named Pierre Roberge. Originating from Saint-Germain-le-Vasson, the diocese of Bayeux, in Normandy, in the current department of Calvados, Pierre and Pierre were born from the remarriage of their father Jacques Roberge with Claudine Buret.

The first was born in 1637 and the other in 1648. The oldest became Sir Lacroix and the junior, to whom we are directly related, went by the nickname of Lapierre. The two brothers crossed the Atlantic together and went to Quebec Seminary before settling on île d'Orléans.

Pierre Lacroix made the acquisition, on August 10 1664, of a piece of land along the St-Lawrence River. In 1668, Lacroix lives at Louise Poulin's home in Petit Cape, on the coast of Beaupré. On October 22, 1671, Pierre Lacroix married Antoinette Bagot or Bagau de Beaurenon. Antoinette died in 1683, without children. On April 9, 1684, Pierre Roberge, known as Lacroix, promised to marry, on the following day in l'Église Notre-Dame-de-la-Victoire,Marie Lefrançois, 25 years, daughter of Charles Lefrançois and Marie-madeleine Triot. The couple Roberge and Lefrançois brought up seven children, including three sons.

Arrived in Nouvelle-France less than eighteen years old, my ancestor Pierre Roberge, known as Lapierre, was a valorous pioneer of l'île d'Orléans. He is confirmed by Monseigneur de Laval in Quebec, November 7, 1665. In 1669, he operates a farm land on the old island of Bacchus, where he starts a family, in Ste-Famille, July 3, 1679, with Francoise Loignon, daughter of Pierre Loignon and Francoise Roussin.

In 1681, Pierre Roberge, known as Lapierre and Francoise Loignon are established on a land of which they cultivate fifteen acres and have six animals with horns. This is where they give birth to thirteen children who are baptized in Saint-Pierre on île d'Orléans, where five sons will later marry.

The eighth of the family is the one that links my father to the ancestor Pierre Roberge, known as Lapierre. The son Pierre Roberge was born and is baptized on December 6, 1697. He marries on October 21, 1726, in Chateau-Richer, with Marie LeFrançois, baptized in 1708, daughter of Alexis-Nicolas Lefrançois and Marie-Madeleine Lefebvre. They have together eleven children, including five sons.

In the third generation, Charles-Prisque Roberge, born in 1735, marries on November 9, 1761, Marie Agathe Goulet, daughter of François Goulet and Helene Ratté.

In the fourth generation, Joseph Roberge marries on October 18, 1791, Catherine Poulin, daughter of Louis Poulin and Catherine Perreault.

With the fifth generation, Prisque Roberge which marries on November 8, 1819, Marie Angélique Ferland, daughter of Pierre Ferland and Josephte Plante.

With the sixth generation, Gilbert Roberge who marries on February 10, 1852, Sara Nolin, daughter of Augustin Nolin and Christine Cantin.

The ancestor Pierre Roberge, known as Lapierre, which was 30 years old during the census of 1681, in the island of Orleans, dies at the age of approximately 76 years, October 24, 1725. Buried the 25, in St-Pierre of the island of Orleans. Its widow dies on June 1, the 1730, buried following day, in Quebec.

In 1979, Roberge set up a stele on the ancestral ground of the family, in Saint-Pierre, island of Orleans. It comprises the currency of the family: "Fay what will owe" . An inscription commemorative affixed on the frontage of the town hall of Saint-Germain-le-Vasson, in the Apple-brandy, recalls also the memory of the Roberge brothers.
