• Notes

  Isabelle  (or Élisabeth) TARGÉ  (Target or Targer)...  was from a Huguenot family in LaRochelle when she decided in 1659 to emigrate to Canada.  She was about 22 years old.  Her father, Daniel Targé was a marinier (mariner or bargeman) whose many children with his wife, Louise Martin, were baptized at the temple in Villeneuve.  Among them, a younger sister, Marie Targé who arrived in Canada in 1663 as a fille-du-roi.     Isabelle Targé was the widow of Simon Piat.  She appeared to not have any children at the time she made the trip to Canada.  Sometime along the way she renounced Calvinism for Catholism and in August of 1659 she married Mathurin Gerbert  in a Catholic ceremony in Québec.  He was from the parish of St. Sulpice-des-Langes in Brittany.  First mention of him in Canada was 7-12-1659 in Québec at the lease of a farm.  On the census of 1666, the Gerbert family is listed as living in the Québec area where Mathurin Gerbert is a settler.    Together, they had 7 children, three of which (all boys) had died quite young.  There appears to have been an epidemic that took two sons, aged 5 and 3 in February and May of 1672.  Isabelle herself had died sometime in 1670, leaving 6 children, aged 10 to infant.  Her husband, Mathurin Gerbert remarried in January 1671.     http://www.apointinhistory.net/larochelle.php
