In the twelfth century, at least nine French immigrants bearing the surname Dumas came into the valley of the St. Lawrence. Not all have taken root. It is noteworthy that three of them name was Francis, but only one of these Frenchmen left a male offspring. He was a native of Nanteuil-en-Vallée, in Angoulême. He had arrived in the colony as committed as "thirty-six-months." It appears in the 1666 census. It was then a mason aged 24 who works on behalf of Claude Charron de la Barre, a leading merchant of Quebec, which was for some time, alderman of the city. In the summer of 1667, François DUMAS marries a king's daughter, Margaret Foy, daughter of Peter Foy and Catherine Blanchard of The Hermenault in Poitou. The couple moved to the Isle of Orleans. Their first six children were baptized in the church of Sainte-Famille and the last, that of Saint Lawrence.
Three of the children of the ancestor were girls. Jeanne is born in August 1673. In 1697, she married Louis Marceau, who is on the verge of having its 19 years, which is quite young for a boy who gets married. It will be the father of eleven children who are all baptized in the Holy Family. Catherine is 21 years old when, in July 1698, she took Louis Cauchon Laverdiere said, as her husband. She gave birth to thirteen children.Finally, Mary, the youngest of the family, five months before the marriage of Catherine, unites his destiny with that of Pierre Audet said Lapointe. She is the mother of eight children. The three girls live in the Isle of Orleans.
Only two of the four boys have contracted marriage, Marc-Antoine dying before the 1681 census and Gabriel with an unknown destiny. The eldest child inherits the father's name.Son Francis, born July 12, 1669, married in Saint-Laurent, Ile d'Orleans, April 18, 1689, Marie-Francoise Gervais, daughter of Marin and Françoise Gervais Monvoisin. The bride is 15 years old. She gave birth to twelve children. Following his death, Francis son remarried Jeanne Rouleau, the widow of Nicolas Baillargeon. Eight children were born of this second marriage. During the confession and enumeration of the island of Orleans, erected in August 1725, it is said that Francis had thirty acres arable. His son, whose name was also Francis, was his immediate neighbor.

While Francis will live in the Isle of Orleans, Charles settled in the area of Beaumont. In 1694 he married Frances Rondeau; in 1702, and Marie Guignard, ten years later, Martha Garand, the widow of Charles Branchaud. The ancestor Francis died in February 1714. His widow survived him until 1718. This couple is one that has left more descendants carry the surname DUMAS.
