Marie doit survivre malgré l’horreur de l'assassinat de son mari par les Iroquois. Elle se remarie avec Paul de Rainville, un veuf, père de 5 enfants et huissier de la seigneurie de Notre-Dame-des-Anges. À la fin de sa vie, Marie reviendra vivre chez sa fille , à Ste-Anne-de-Beaupré, pour y mourir. C’était en 1687.

Loose translation of above: Marie must survive in spite of the horror of l' assassination of his/her husband by Iroquois. It remarie with Paul de Rainville, a widower, father of 5 children and usher of the seigniory of Our-Lady-of-Angels. At the end of her life, Marie will return to live in her daughter, with Co.-Anne-of-Bowsprit, to die there. It was in 1687

Some sources show "Montmorency" as a county. "Montmorency" did not exist as a county until 1829. Therefore it was removed.

Sainte-Anne-de-Beaupré was a parrish in Beaupré since 1657. It was established as a city in 1845.
