  • Notes 
    • In 1653, Jean Valiquet was among the hundred or so young Frenchmen recruited by Paul de Chomedey, Sieur de Maisonneuve, to come to New France. In an initiative dubbed "la Grande Recrue" (the great recruitment), de Maisonneuve travelled through Maine and Anjou to find single young men willing to clear land and become soldiers. Jean and his fellow recruits signed contracts with the Companie de Montréal, which promised them a salary, lodging and food, as well as passage if they chose to return to France. Jean, an armorer and locksmith by trade, signed a five-year contract as a militiaman <https://www.tfcg.ca/militiaman-new-france>, at a salary of 80 livres per year. Before leaving, he received 114 livres in advance wages. The objectives of the Grande Recrue were to increase the population of Ville-Marie (present-day Montréal) and protect it from Iroquois attacks.

      Jean left France aboard the Saint-Nicolas from the port of Saint-Nazaire on June 20, 1653. Maisonneuve was also on the ship, as was Marguerite Bourgeoys. After some severe ship trouble and a short stay on l’île Saint-Nicolas-des-Défunts, the Saint-Nicolas arrived in Montréal on November 16. Jean completed his five-year engagement and decided to stay in the colony.
