OUR ANCESTORS FROM LOUDUN, FRANCE
Source: Edwin Bezzina thesis “Church Records of Loudun, France”,
Guindon Newsletter Fall 2002
The following information was featured in the Guindon Newsletter Fall 2002. Edwin Bezzina
at that time was a PH.D. Student in the Department of History at the University of Toronto,
and was writing a doctoral dissertation on Protestant-Catholic relations in the town of
Loudun, France from 1598 to 1665. Our thanks to Edwin Bezzina for his research of the
history and documentation of our Guesdon/Guindon family in Loudun, France.
(Edwin has no connection to the Guindon’s. This is only one part of the article he wrote)
FRANҪOIS GUINDON AND MARIE MOLAY
We can rest reasonably assured that
Franҫois Guesdon first saw the light of
day around 25 March 1622, and that his
parents were Jean Guesdon, weaver, and
Franҫoise Collet. Such a conclusion
stands on the following evidence. The
parish registers of Loudun for the
year1694 speak of the burial of a certain
Franҫois Guesdon master butcher on 22
of January, aged 73 at the time of his
death. Counting backwards, that leads us
to the birth and baptism in 1622 of the
Franҫois Guesdon cited above. His
profession provides the second clue:
Franҫois’ entry into the butcher’s guild
may have been smoothed by his
mothers’ relatives, for our database tells
us that several Catholic butchers in
Loudun carried the last name Collet.
Furthermore, in a marriage act dated
1680, we find in attendance Franҫois
Guesdon butcher and his wife Marie
Molay.
“Baptismal act of Franҫois Guesdon son
of Jean Guesdon weaver and Franҫoise
Collet” 25 March 1622 baptismal
registers of St-Pierre-du-Martray A.M.
Loudun, GG 185. He married Marie
Molay (Mollé), who was born Oct. 8,
1623 in the same parish and was the
daughter of Louie Mollé (b. abt 1600)
and Anne Chatelaine.
The evidence here all seems to point to
the same Franҫois Guesdon.
Of course, it is not impossible that two
Franҫois Guesdon were born and
baptised in 1622, which would short
circuit any decisive link between the
baptismal and burial acts noted just
above. Indeed the baptismal registers
show that two Elisabeth Guesdon were
baptised in Loudun in 1668, born to two
separate couples. But this is the only
example that we have, for all the
Guesdon for the entire period 1598 to
1685.
The available documents permit us to
glean a few details about Franҫois’
socio-economic background. Before he
died, Franҫois lived on the rue de la tour
volue, located near the gate of Mirebeau.
This quarter was not known for its
wealthy inhabitants; most of those who
lived here filled the ranks of the town’s
artisan population. On the other hand, it
was not the preserve of members of the
lowest socio-economic categories either.
One generally would have to venture
outside the city walls for that. Franҫois
was baptised in the parish St. Pierre du
Marché. In turn, once married he
baptised his children in either of the two
parishes (but mostly in the Martray.)
From all of this, it seems reasonable to
conclude that Franҫois also grew up in
Loudun. Seen through the eyes of a
young boy, Loudun in the 1620s must
have left him with many a story to tell.
GUINDON NEWSLETTER -2-
The town itself inspired awe in the eyes
of any beholder, with its fortifications,
its towers, its fortress, its ramparts, and
its château. While not impregnable,
Loudun’s military attributes certainly
commanded respect. Walking through
the streets, young Franҫois perhaps also
observed the large number of lawyers,
tax officials, and bureaucrats who
worked in the town, for Loudun towered
over the Loudanais region as its legal,
administrative, and financial capital.
Moreover, he must have been told at one
point that a large part of the town’s
population was Protestant, and perhaps
on one occasion he had to rush to safety
during an outbreak of violence between
members of the two religions. (Except
for a few years in the early seventeenth
century, the Protestants of Loudun
would remain a minority to the Catholics
right up to the Revocation of the Edict of
Nantes.)
Franҫois’ town of origin underwent
some dramatic changes in the following
decade. In 1632, a plague slammed into
Loudun and carried away a third of the
town’s population.
(While burial registers do not exist for
this period, the fallout from this
catastrophe must have been horrific,
especially evident in the stark drop in
baptisms during this period. Pierre
Delaroche provides us with a casualty
estimate of 3,700 persons.)
Also, this period witnessed the end of
the long struggle over the town’s
fortifications between two local factions,
factions that display a general – although
not seamless – dividing line along
religious difference. Loudun’s elaborate
system of defense was torn down, and
with it collapsed its military status. The
Protestants continued to be marginalized
in the town’s political and legal
institutions, but they did manage to
retain a foothold as tax officials and
wealth merchants. Religion continued to
divide the community, although
numerous examples of interaction are
not too difficult to find. However, in the
early 1630s, one event divided the town
like no other in its history: the Grandier
affair. Perhaps Franҫois was one of the
6,000 spectators who filled the place
Sainte-Croix on 18 August 1634, in
order to behold the burning of the
condemned priest Urbain Grandier. The
unfortunate man was sent to the stake on
the false charge of witchcraft, after a
dubious trial involving a convent of
possessed Ursuline nuns, an event that
won for Loudun a notoriety that its
citizens on the whole did not covet.
At some point in his youth, Franҫois
Guesdon must have served as a butcher’s
apprentice, and then survived the ordeal
to become a master butcher. As
aforementioned, it is possible that he did
so through one of his mother’s relatives,
although the apprenticeship contract if
found will tell all. Unfortunately, we do
not know much about his activity as a
butcher. We have a number of
documents that involve the butchers’
guild, and while his relative Jacques
Guesdon, also a butcher, appears in one
of them, Franҫois is entirely absent. We
do know that Franҫois was still a butcher
in 1680, because with his wife he attends
the signing of a marriage act, and, when
asked, he declares himself to be a
butcher. Moreover, his burial act
confirms the same fact. But, beyond that,
we have no evidence that Franҫois
played an important role in the guild
(say as one of the maîtres jurés.)
It is also unfortunate that we know little
about Franҫois’ wife, Marie Molay. We
do not know even the socio-economic
milieu from whence she came, although
in all likelihood it was similar to that of
her husband. She did have a female
relative named Jeanne Molay, who
appears as godmother in the baptismal
act of Jean Guesdon, son of Franҫois
Guesdon and Marie Molay (perhaps the
same Jean Guesdon who left for New
France.) And even after thirteen
pregnancies, Marie Molay still managed
to outlive her husband, because she
appears as his widow in the marriage of
their son, Jean, in 1698. Marie Molay
and her husband must have been married
sometime before 1653, and, as
aforementioned, they baptised all but
two of their children in the more
plebeian parish St. Pierre du Martray.
Following a pattern described above, the
parents the godparents on the whole
probably share the same socio-economic
status, with the exception of Paul Oryau
procurator. Of course, a large number of
the godfathers did sign the baptismal
acts in which they took part, which
suggest some degree of education; but,
the majority of their names do not
represent recognizable members of the
town’s social elites.

Marriage Registers of the Parish St. Pierre du Marche, Loudun – after 1685 Archives
Municpales de Loudun GG42
"Marriage act between, on the one hand, Jean Guesdon son of the deceased Franҫois
Guesdon and Marie Molay, and on the other, Franҫoise Guesdon daughter of Rene Guesdon
and Marie Lunet" 1 July 1698, marriage registers of the parish St. Pierre du Marche,
Archives Municipales de Loudun GG42
We assume that this is the Jean Guindon who returned to his native Loudun after his stay in
Hotel dieu de Quebec. The scribe record in the margin of the marriage record states that the
newlyweds planned to live in a nearby village of Veniers. However Jean's marriage was
short lived as he died sometime before the birth of his first child. Perhaps the illness that
struck him in Quebec returned in 1698 to deliver the final blow. (There is a reference to the
burial of a certain Jean Guesdon on 25 September 1698, aged 29 years of age).
PIERRE AND JEAN GUESDON
According to the first census of New France in 1666 there were about 2500 people living in the
Montreal to Quebec City area.
Pierre and his brother, Jean Guindon, came from Saint-Pierre-du-Martay Parish, Loudun,
France to "New France" as a volunteer. On 6 Aug 1688 Franҫois Hazeur, who had a
tradesman service in Quebec, hired Pierre to work at the water mill under construction in
Malbaie. According to Pierre's pre-arranged agreement, Pierre married Catharine RouchelletBraza 21 Nov 1706 in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Pierre died September 26, 1733 and was
buried September 27, 1733 in St-Franҫois-de-Sales cemetery.

QUEBEC VITAL AND CHURCH RECORDS (DROUIN COLLECTION), 1621-1967
http://www.ancestry.ca/drouin/?o_iid=43476&o_lid=43476
Until the late 1900s, church registers in Quebec served as civil and vital records in that province.
Throughout the years a second copy of church records, from all denominations, was sent
annually to the appropriate courthouse. During the 1940s the vital record collections in
courthouses throughout Quebec were filmed by the Institut Généalogique Drouin. The filming of
vital records continued for some areas up through the 1960s. Consequently, this filmed set of
records became known as the Drouin Collection.
