Region Map

Chateau-Richer is located about twenty miles east of Quebec City. With that which was around the north-east side, St. Anne de Beaupre, and the southwest side of Ange-Gardien, Château-Richer was part of the Lordship of Beaupre whose boundary to the southwest was the Montmorency Falls. A manor was opened for settlement since the early 1640s, Robert Giffard had led a number of settlers. This section of coast facing the island of Orleans, whose development, while simultaneously, was the numerous land exchanges and family relations, intimately linked to the coast.

This area of the shore of St. Lawrence is a plateau overlooking a low area along the river where it is separated by a terrace or hillside well marked. In some sections of the Beaupré coast, the Royal Road found itself at the time and sometimes on top of the hill and sometimes followed the foot of the terrace. At Chateau-Richer, except the village that had developed on a flat middle road is found at the bottom. Houses arranged along the road huddled at the foot of the terrace to counter the wind.

Here the location of the land of Marin Boucher

Marin Boucher had immigrated to New France around 1634 with his second wife, Perine Mallet, his son Francis, aged 16 years and from his first marriage to Julienne Baril and two children from this second marriage: Louis Marino, age 4 and Jean-Galeran, one year old when it stood at Chateau-Richer (circa 1646).

For various transactions, including acts of concession, Marin Boucher had acquired an area large enough to establish several families. His land with a width of 8 acres and 6 perches to a depth of 1 1 / 2 mile, was located on the southwest side of the current village of Chateau-Richer. To follow the recommendations of the government Marin Boucher subdivided his land into four roughly equal.

The first two acres of the north-east side were reserved for his younger son, William The 2 acres and 6 perches following from the south-west remained the property of Marin Boucher when he had his home. The following two acres were sold in the spring of 1655 Plante and Jean Francoise Boucher. Finally, the last two acres, still from the southwest side, were assigned to his son John Galeran Boucher.
To implement the recommendations of the government Marin Boucher off from the land he had left three small locations near his home, which everyone had to build a house. So there was a small cluster of three houses: one of Marin Boucher would happen later in the hands of his son William, of John Plant (location 8 perches in area) and Jean-Galeran Boucher (location 7 1 / 2 perches in area). As for the location of 8 poles area reserved to William Boucher, having being born in 1647, he had only fifteen years at that time, the latter did not build homes on its site and instead stayed with his parents. Indeed. his father died in 1671, a year before her marriage.
