Individual Details
Anne Cloustier
(Abt Jan 1626 - 3 Feb 1648)
Even though Anne was only 11 years old, she signed a marriage contract, the first such contract in Canada, July 27, 1636 before Jean Guyon. The marriage was not, however performed and consumated before July 12, 1637. The fortunate husband of this young 11 year old girl was Robert Drouin from Pin-ala-Garenne, a borough 10 km south of Mortagne-au-Perche, France. The young wife, unfortunately, died the age of 22 after giving birth to six children, of which four were either stillborn or died soon after.

After Anne`s death, Robert gave his in-laws temporary custody of this daughters and remarried in 1649 the widow Marie Chapelier, who was not accepted by the Cloutiers and as a result, Zacharie and Sainte raised their granddaughters, Geneviève and Jeanne Drouin, as their own.
