Our Enet cousin Sue was kind enough to give
me the information concerning the parents and
grandparents of our Michel Philippe and it opened
up a completely new and quite interesting area in
our family history. It seems that Michel Philippe's
last name was actually Étienne and his mother was
one of The King's Daughters.
What a pleasure to read that history.
Thanks so much to Cousin Sue.
Our Étienne Decendency
MATHURIN ÉTIENNE was born in Deuil, Saintonge, France.

and died July 07, 1710 in Montréal, Québec.
He married (1) MARIE VIEN January 26, 1654/55 in
Trois-Rivières, Québec, daughter of ÉTIENNE VIEN
and MARIE DENOT (DIT LAMARTINIÈRE).
He married (2) MARIE GRAVOIS November 03, 1667

We are descended from this second marriage to
Marie Gravois,a young lady from the "upper classes"
in France and one of The King's Daughters.

Kaskaskia, Il., USA.
The rest of my descendency is on our page for As I looked at the list of The King's Daughters, I saw more than a few of our grandmothers there. I will make a page for them all so that we can better understand how our family came together in the first place.
Mamenthouensa.
