The Great Recruitment
From 1632 to 1662, the colony of Canada is managed by the Company of the Hundred Associates (Compagnie des Cent Associés). Each year the Company sends a fleet to Canada, to bring settlers, supplies and for commerce. In 1652 the colony in Montréal, which was then known as Ville-Marie, had few more than 100 people, and was on the verge of extinction due to incessant attacks by the Iroquois Indians. The Governor General of the colony, M. De Maissoneuve, decided to recruit more people for the colony. They would serve in the defense of the colony against the Indians and would help clear the land. The annual salary was 75 pounds of which they received 48 pounds in advance. M. De Maissoneuve journeyed to France to meet with M. Jerome le Royer de la Dauversiere, co-founder of Montréal, who had never left France. Their meeting took place in the city of La Fleche, approximately 100 miles southeast of Paris. With the arrival of the ship there was great rejoicing in Quebec City about having new colonists. The governor General of Quebec City wanted to keep the men for his colony. M. De Maissoneuve insisted, after having crossed the ocean twice to get the recruits, that they be sent to Montreal. The decision had to be made in Paris, and on 11/16/1653 Montreal was favored. Urbaine Baudreau Dit Graveline was a part of this recruitment.

7/22/1653, Urbain again sailed from France to serve in defense of Montréal. Many recruits failed to appear, probably as a consequence of their first sailing. According to the records of Sister Marguerite Bourgeois, a heroine of the colony, it was a very difficult crossing. The ship was small and met several storms at sea. Furthermore it had been previously infected by sick people, and many of the passengers became very ill. Eight recruits died on the journey.

The said Marie Baudreau, wife of Gadbois, Jean Baptiste, Elizabeth Baudreau, wife of the said Richard, and Marie Anne Baudreau, wife of said Guillaume Baudoin, also live there. This is to support the heirs of the said deceased Urbain Baudreau, their father.

The preservation of goods and rights of the parties are maintained, as well as sll other who are children. … An inventory of all goods, furniture, titles, papers left after the death of said deceased Urbain Baudreau was made. These were jointly owned by him and the said widow on the day of his death, 29 of January 1695. These were found in the house of Jacques Richard situated in this city on Jacques St., where the said widow stated having brought them there. The notary was shown these and under oath was told where they were with none of them hidden. … They would be appraised in conscience as regards costs at the present time.” /s/ Gadbois, Beaudreau, …
• “Gabriel Baudreau: … receives … for a horse belonging to him … value of a gun that he had, and that his mother sold to provide for her needs. In all the said amount is that of 488 pounds 16 sols. … To Jacques Picard 220 pounds. To the Juillet guardian of his brother’s children, 54 pounds. … Mr. Louis Guillet, guardian of the children of Charle Guillet the sum of 54 pounds. … In the said house of Jacques Richard was found and old oak chest, the cover broken, estimated by said Cabazie to 5 pounds. An old oak bin, the foot and cover broken, estimated … 20 sols. An old broken kettle estimated at 20 sols. A big book estimated at 3 pounds.

• 2/12/1710. Excerpt of a letter from Diron d’Artaguette [in LA Terr.] to Jerome Ponchartrain at Fort Massacre. “I have received strong complaints against Mr. de Lamothe, commandant at Detroit, by those who came here from Canada this year. He is not content to tell them that it’s a miserable and pest-ridden country. He also gave his Savages (Indians) orders to pillage them and take them to his fort, hands and feet tied: those who are coming here by your permission are hardly treated better. The sire of Graveline [Gabriel], to whom your greatness granted permission, two years ago, for him and the number of domestics that he needed to come here, had his wife taken prisoner for four days, which she wrote him from Illinois. The bad treatment, they assure me, will prevent anybody from Canada from coming to this coast. It would be, by permitting them to come here, another means of establishing this colony well, without it costing the king anything, to send families from France.” (S) Première formation d’une chaine de postes entre le fleuve Saint-Laurent et le golfe du Mexique (1683-1724), Chap. IV.
