JACQUES GLINEL (DELINEL) (1641-1708)
and
MARIE PIVIN (PIVAIN) (1663-1719)
The ancestor of the Glinels in America is named Jacques Glinel or Delinel,
baptized in 1641, son of Michel Glinel and Geneviève Dené, originating in St-Godard,
of Rouen, in Normandy, in the current department of Seine-Maritime.
On January 29, 1679, he signed a marriage contract in front of the notary Vachon.
However, the marriage had already taken place (August 25, 1676) in Charlesbourg,
Québec. Is this a transcription error in Jetté's dictionary of Québec families,
or wasn't the notary available before the marriage?
The wife, Marie Pivin or Pivain, was born and baptized in Château-Richer on
September 12, 1663. She was the daughter of Pierre Pivin or Pivain, known as
LaRécompense, who originated in Rouen, Normandy, and of Marie or Marguerite
Jobin, from LaRochelle, in Aunis.
Fourteen children are born between the date of their marriage and the birth of
the youngest child in January 1704. Our direct line comes through Pierre Glinel,
who was born on November 17, 1679, in Canardière, and baptized the following day
in Québec. After a marriage contract signed in front of the notary Duprac on
October 23, 1704, he married Geneviève-Françoise Gingras on November 5, 1704, in
Ste-Foy. She is the daughter of Sebastien Gingras and Marie-Geneviève
Guillebourg.
Pierre and Geneviève-Françoise have five children, and it is their third-born
who weaves the bond in this genealogy. Marie-Anne or Marie-Jeanne Glinel, born
in St-Pierre, was baptized in Charlesbourg on August 31, 1706. She became the
wife of Guillaume Tremblay on November 23, 1729, in Baie St-Paul. Guillaume was
born in 1707, the son of Louis Tremblay and Françoise Morel. Through the
Tremblays our family line passes down to the present day.
Geneviève-Françoise Gingras died while still in her 30s on February 15, 1710,
and was buried on February 16 in Sillery, Québec. Pierre Glinel then remarried
later that year. His second wife was Thérèse Lefebvre with whom he had seven
other children. The marriage was held on September 1, 1710, in a double ceremony
where Pierre's mother also remarried.
Jacques Glinel worked as a ferryman (a "passeur" or "frontier runner") helping
travelers cross the Petite-Rivière at St-Charles. In 1681, he is listed as 40
years old living in Petite Auvergne, Charlesbourg. He died on December 29, 1708,
and was buried the following day in Québec.
His widow, Marie Pivin, then married Jean DeLouvais on September 1, 1710, in
Québec. Jean DeLouvais, known as the Dragon ("dit Dragon"), was a widower
formerly married to Geneviève Greslon. Jean and Marie had no children together.
Marie died on November 05, 1719 in Québec.
