  • Notes 


    • From where does the Robitaille surname come to us? Gerard Lebel answers with the question; "does the Robitaille surname take its construction from Robert and taille? The first part, Robert, gives us Robin, Robineau and Roby. Taille means hamlet or the old stronghold, La Taille, lots of wood. Thus, Robitaille : a person named Robert, inhabitant of the woods. Robitaille, were they the first Robin of French Woods?... ".

      Three Robitaille brothers established themselves in New France in the XVIIth century : Philippe, Jean and Pierre. They were the sons of Jean Robitaille and Martine Cormont of Saint-Georges parish, Boulogne, Auchy-les-Hesdin, Aras en Picardie, France.

      Of the three brothers, only Pierre perpetuates the name of Robitaille in America. Pierre, 23 years old, signs a marriage contract in Québec, May 5, 1675, before the Duquet court. He commits himself to marrying Suzanne-Marie Maufay, daughter of Pierre and Marie Duval. She was 14 years old at the time. Her parents say to give him 1 young pig, 6 shirts, 6 handkerchiefs, 1 cover, 1 pair of cloths, 6 towels. Unfortunately, the religious act is lost, the marriage had to be celebrated next Monday, May 20, perhaps in Sillery. After the rejoicings, the couple from there will be worked on its farm of Gaudarville, today in Sainte-Foy.

      Arriving in the country in 1668 or 1669, Pierre Robitaille was only 18 years old when he obtained a land grant of three acres before Jean-Baptist Peuvret, secretary of the governor Jean de Lauzon, who was a notary and clerk as a chief of the Sovereign Council and lord of Gaudarville. It is in this place that Pierre brings his new wife, they had thirteen children, ten boys and three girls, but few reach adulthood.

      Today, it is Romain, of the second generation which we follow. he marries in Sainte-Foy, October 10, 1723, Françoise Lemarié. In the succeeding generations, Robitaille are combined Drolete, Parent, Groulx, Sauvé, to Robert and Saint-Aubin.

      It is my grandfather, Armand, of the ninth generation, who arrives at Saint-Eustache to marry, June 12, 1923, Anatalie Maria Kavanagh, my grandmother, then turns over to Pont-Viau (Chomedey de Laval) where four children are born: Angeline, Rene, George and André. Indicator to come the war, it rents a land and made there work his/her children, which save them military service.

      The youngest child André, my father, of the tenth generation, wife with Saint Martin's day, July 7, 1956, Carole Chartrand, my mother. She is the minor girl of Arnold Chartrand and Juliette Racette. My parents come to live in Saint-Eustache in 1969, I have at this time 13 years.

      After primary studies at the school Notre-Dame of Saint-Eustache and general-purpose the Deux-Montagnes, I finish my Sainte-Thérèse studies. Then, it is my meeting with Saint-Eustache with Marjolaine Cossette, girl of Cossette Premium and Rose-Alba Gagnon, whom I marry in Rouyn-Noranda on December 20, 1980. After some time spent over there, we return to settle in Saint-Eustache where I have worked for ten years for public works of the town of Saint-Eustache. Two girls were born from our union : Karine and Josée.

      I knew Pierre Robitaille whereas he carried out work in our research center, that gave him the taste to know some more on his ancestors. Curiously, it is the seventh of its descent to carry the first name of Pierre, which is rather rare.
