Marie Pelletier, fille du Roy, née vers 1651 à Sainte-Madeleine-de-Montargis, archevêché de Sens, en Orlianais. fille de François Pelletier et de Michelle Lachalle. Elle arrive en Nouvelle-France en 1669 avec des biens, ou la dot du Roy, estimée à 100 livres.

Lors de sa traversée en Nouvelle-France, Marie était la passagère #104 à bord du navire: Le saint-Jean-Baptiste. Le nom du propriétaire du navire fût: Aubert de la Chenaye, le nom de l'armateur: La Compagnie des Indes et le nom du capitaine: Pierre Fillye. On devine que le navire a embarqué 90 filles du Roy au port de Dieppe et qu'il a fait monté 11 ou 12 autres filles du Roy à Larochelle avant de naviguer vers la Nouvelle-France et arriver à Québec le 2 octobre 1665. à bord de ce navire, une autre fille du Roy portant le nom de Pelletier, Anne Pelletier dite Passavant .

On décrit ainsi la nature des passagers, soit 164 passagers dont 149 filles de Normandie, 20 de LaRochelle sous la direction de Mme Bourdon.. et 12 chevaux. Notons que c'est cette même dame Bourdon qui a pris la charge de Françoise Trochet dite Richard , une autre fille du Roy, qui est devenue l'épouse de Pierre Pelletier .

Quatre enfants sont nés de son premier mariage, signé avec Mathurin Renaud le 7 octobre 1669 à Québec. Le contrat avait été passé devant le notaire Duquet le 21 septembre 1669. Le ménage s'est alors établi à Charlesbourg. Mathurin Renaud est décédé entre le 10 mai 1677 et le 29 septembre 1677.

Marie Pelletier, Fille du Roi, was born around 1651 in Sainte-Madeleine-de-Montargis, archbishopric of Sens, in Orlianais. Daughter of François Pelletier and Michelle Lachalle. She arrived in New France in 1669 with property, or the King's dowry, estimated at 100 pounds.

During her crossing to New France, Marie was a passenger #104 aboard the ship: The Saint-Jean-Baptiste. The name of the owner of the ship was: Aubert de la Chenaye, the name of the shipowner: La Compagnie des Indes and the name of the captain: Pierre Fillye. We guess that the ship took on board 90 Filles du Roy at the port of Dieppe and that it took 11 or 12 other Filles du Roy to Larochelle before sailing towards New France and arriving in Quebec on October 2, 1665. on board from this ship, another daughter of the King bearing the name of Pelletier, Anne Pelletier known as Passavant.

We thus describe the nature of the passengers, i.e. 164 passengers including 149 girls from Normandy, 20 from LaRochelle under the direction of Mrs. Bourdon... and 12 horses. Note that it is this same lady Bourdon who took charge of Françoise Trochet known as Richard, another daughter of the King, who became the wife of Pierre Pelletier.
