The French decision to not send colonists to Canada in 1666 had a profound impact on Canada as Acadia had a population of 400 whereas Massachusetts had a population of 40,000.

One hundred and twenty two marriages, three hundred and eleven births and eighty five deaths are recorded in New France.  Some suggest that there are seven hundred births (?) this year in New France and indications that the male to female ratio is beginning to equalize.  Some  believe that marriages between the French and Native girls could be a useful factor to increase the population.  (I)-Jean Talon (1625-1694), however reported that they did not bring many children into the world because they nursed them too long.  This is from a man who never married and would return to France.  The average world wide breast-feeding duration is 4.2 years at this time. 

St. Xavier Dez Praiz is a little above Ville-Marie (Montreal) and contains 60 settlers.

Thomas Temple (1615-1674) is forced to return Acadia ( Nova Scotia) to the French, having been in control since 1654.  The Acadian population is about 400-500, and they no longer consider themselves French.  Besides being composed of French, Micmac, Scottish, Irish, English and Portuguese, they all intermarried and considered themselves Acadians.  The Acadians married in their early twenties and had 10-11 children, most of whom survived to adulthood.  The population doubled every 20 years, much faster than New France.

Fines in New France are levied on the fathers of unmarried men 20 years old and unmarried girls 16 years old.  The Sovereign Council abolished a 10% duty on dry goods and imposed duties on liquor and tobacco.

The Recollect priests are allowed to returned to New France now that the Jesuit had lost their iron grip on the colony.  They are the original order, having been displaced by the Jesuit.  Louis XIV ordered 100,000 Livres of silver and copper coins minted for use in New France.

The French King established a King's gift for males who marry before age twenty and females before age sixteen.  Three hundred livres to those with ten children, and four hundred livres to those with twelve.

 The Northampton County of free Negroes is so successful, they are importing English and African slaves to such an extent that the assembly declared it illegal for a Negro to own a white slave or servant.

It is noted that Montreal has Indian slaves at this time.

The mission Sorel de la Province de Quebec is established this year.

Acadia had less than 500 European Settlers after nearly 3/4 century of settlement.  Civil war and conflicts with the English prevented and significant settlement.

The word boucaner meaning to dry and smoke meat or fish evolved to mean to hunt on the sea for booty, as a pirate or boucanier. The English changed it to buccaneer.

St. Lusson

St. Lusson at Sault Ste. Marie, claiming the Ojibwa Nation to the West for France. The People were not amused when they discovered the intention of his act.

 

Father Charles Albanel (1616-1696), a Jesuit, is ordered by Intendant (I)-Jean Talon to go to the Hudson Bay to verify reports of the presence there of French speaking Europeans in the service of the Hudson Bay Company.  

France, already mistress of Acidia and Canada as far as Lake Ontario, took possession of all the regions, discovered or to be discovered, from the Northern Sea to the Southern Sea and from the Western Sea to Lakes Huron and Superior.  She appointed herself the exclusive dominion of all North America except the British colonies boarding on the Atlantic and Mexican territories.

Simon Francois Daumont de Saint Lusson, the infamous, on his return to Quebec, called for the seizure of the furs brought back by (I)-Nicholas Perrot (Pere) dit Turbal, a.k.a. Joly Coeur (Jolly Soul) (1644-1717), a freeman ( Coureurs des Bois).  Although Perrot was in the employ of the Jesuits or maybe because of his relationship with the Jesuits, this action humbled Perrot, forcing him into debt to his creditors.  It was because of Perrot that the French could make claim (although a false claim) on all lands West, North and South of Sault Ste Marie.  It was he who brought the fourteen Nations together with the French at Sault Ste Marie on June 4.  Nicolas Perrot, this year, married Madeleine Raclos, and like many Coureurs des Bois, settled in Trois Rivers and raised 11 children.  He would continue to serve New France in the 1680's; a true masochist.  In 1696 he would retire in poverty with no recognition of his contribution to Canada.  He couldn't even afford paper to complete his memoirs.  "Shame on the French Regime".

October 21:  (I)-Jean Talon, Intendant of New France, issued an ordinance compelling bachelors to marry the King's Girls within 15 days of the arrival of the vessels bringing the women, or be prohibited from fishing, hunting and trading for furs. 

November 2:   (I)-Jean Talon (1625-1694) complained that 15 girls (Filles du Roi) of quality arrived in Quebec when only 4 were requested.  He said it is difficult to find appropriate matches.  (I)-Louis de Bunde, count de Frontenac (1620-1698), would also complain, later this month, that it is difficult to find appropriate matches for ladies of quality.  It is not clear if 'ladies of quality' means the ability to read and write or of a special social standing.  He went on to write that the birth of six to seven hundred babies this year confirmed the fertility of the country.  He advised it would not be necessary to send more girls the next year in order for the colonists to more easily give their daughters in marriage.

(II)-Pierre Charron, Metis, b-1672, New France, son (I)-Pierre Charron (1640-1700) and Catherine Pilliar, ou Pilet-Pillard, b-1651?, a Filles du Roi, and Metis or Indian, of New France, baptized March 30, 1646 La Rochelle, France.  DNA analysis 'suggests' she is either Indian or Metis from New France: married November 4, 1697, Boucherville, Marie Robin.

(I)-Jacques Couturier b-1646, married likely Sillery, Quebec Catherine Annennontank, Huronne, Anota, Annanonis, Ananontha, sauvageese, b-1649, veuve September 23, 1662, Quebec de (I)-Jean Durand (1640-1671).

Father (I)-Claude Jean Allouez (1613-1689) and Father Claude Dablon prepared a map of Lac Tracy (Lake Superior) likely based on maps by Etienne Brule's expedition of 1616 and/or Grosseilliers and Radisson expeditions of 1659-1660 and likely the maps of the Ojibwa People.

Pierre de Saurel de Sorel and wife Jeanne de Giraud is granted the seigneury of Sorel, Quebec.  Sorel is at the mouth of the River Richelieu 88 km northeast Ville-Marie (Montreal) on the St. Lawrence River.  In 1787 it was renamed William Henry but again renamed Sorel in 1860.  A mission was established at Sorel in 1670.

War again breaks out in Europe, England declared war on Holland and France joined the English against Holland.  Immigration to New France stops for the next three generations.  A generation is usually considered to be 15-20 years.  It is noteworthy that 15,000 people came to New France between 1608 to 1672 but only 3,000 stayed in the colonies.  The exodus of the French to become Coureurs des Bois ran from 40 to 50% most years.  It is significant that the King's Daughters are estimated to number some 1,000 women, and given their husbands, they account for 2/3 of the New France Colony.  The Metis at this time likely outnumbered the New France Colony, but are spread over a wide territory.

The further dispatch of 'Filles du Roi' to New France ended because of the war with the Dutch.  As a result of the war with Holland, a Dutch squadron captured New York, August 9, 1673.

The Jesuits are accused before the French King of baptizing more beavers than Indians.

The horse population of New France had risen to 100.

The French Minister wrote to Intendant Talon of New France "as after the increase of the colony, there is nothing more important for the colony than the discovery of a passage to the south sea, his majesty wishes you to give it your attention."  Talon chose Jollet and Marguette to discover the South Sea by the Maskoutens Country.  It was believed the Mississippi River emptied into the California Sea.  They were unaware the Spanish last century had already explored this route to Chicago.  They eventually realized the Mississippi River emptied into the Gulf of Mexico that was controlled by the Spanish and aborted their mission so as not to fall into Spanish hands.  They failed to reach the mouth of the river.

The population of New France is 6,705.

(I)-Rene Robert Cavelier de La Salle (1643-1687), a would be Jesuit with mental instability, joined the coterie of Governor General (I)-Louis de Bunde, count de Frontenac (1620-1698), with whose support he obtained letters of nobility.  At the French Court, two clerics, Abbes Eusebe Renaudot Renaudot and Claude Bernou, to advance their own careers on La Salle's coattails, obtained a commission for him to explore the mid-west. 

Trois Tivieres, Quebec, birth (II)-June Couc dit Lafleur, Metis, daughter (I)-Pierre Couc dit Lafleur (1624-1665) and Marie Mite8ameg8k8e (Miteouamigoukoue), an Algonquine, sauvagesse, (1631-1699). might be an error or baptism not birth see below;

Trois Rivieres, birth (III)-Jean Baptiste Couc dit Lafleur, Metis, b-1673, son (II)-Pierre Couc dit Lafleur (1624-1690), and Marie Mite8ameg8k8e, Algonquine sauvagesse (1631- 1699); married before November 24, 1706, Lachine, Anne Sauvagesse (Algonkin or Sokokoi) b-1705, Lachine. 

(I)-Louis de Baud Count of Frontenac (1620-1698) wrote that (I)-Rene Robert Cavelier, Sieur de La Salle (1644-1687) and the Jesuit Fathers suggest that the English are attempting to break the treaty between the Ottawas and Canada.  (I)-Louis de Baud, Count of Frontenac (1620-1698), the Huguenot, went to Fort Ville-Marie (Montreal) on January 13 to imprison Governor Francois Marie Perrot (1644-1691) of Fort Ville-Marie (Montreal) for his dealings with the Coureurs des Bois.  

Charles Bayly (1630-1680), Governor of the Hudson Bay Company, returned to Charles Fort then went on to establish a post at Moose River on Hayes Island.

Father Charles Albanel (1616-1696), a Jesuit, is ordered to return to the Hudson Bay to persuade (I)-Medard Chouart Des Groseilliers (1618-1696?) to return to France's service.  He is detained by the English and did not return to New France until 1676.  He then went to the Western district where he served until his death.

Intendant Duchesneau contended that eight hundred men, about forty percent of the adult male population, had taken to the woods.  The New France population is 6,705.  (I)-Louis de Baud, Count of Frontenac (1620-1698), the Huguenot, wanted to teach the Natives French.  The Jesuit wanted to retain their control and argued this would have no spiritual benefit.  (I)-Louis de Baud, count of Frontenac (1620-1698), is more blunt and said the Jesuits want to keep the Natives in their control.  They think more of beaver skins than of souls.  Their missions are pure mockeries.  Both Frontenac and Talon sought to reduce the overwhelming religious influence and make the Roman Church obey the state.  The State assumed more control over education, marriage and the keeping of registers.  The bottom line issue was Papal infallibility and those who didn't believe it was dogma.

(II)-Anonyme Garnaud is born and died October 7, 1673 at L'Ange Gardien, New France child (I)-Louis Garnaud and (I)-Marie Mazoue.

The Dutch being at war with France attacked and plundered Fort Jemseg at the mouth of the St. John River and went on to attack Fort Penobscot which was then abandoned by the French.

A French priest wrote his superior in France about maple sap.  The first record of the French making maple syrup until 1706.  The Indians have been making maple syrup for centuries.  Legend suggests a lazy Indian woman was too lazy to walk to the stream for water, used tap sap for boiling venison.  Her husband found the taste extremely pleasent ands by dropping hot stones into the sap it made it stronger, thicker, dark and smoky.

July 28:   (I)-Louis de Baud, count Frontenac (1620-1691), built Fort Frontenac at Cataraqui (Catarakoui) (Kingston, Lake Ontario).  (I)-Rene Robert Cavelier Sieur de La Salle (1644-1687) received the fur-trading rights for this military Fort.  This Fort threatened the trade lines of the Mission of the Mountain of Montreal and the Iroquois.  Some suggested that (I)-Robert Cavelier Sieur de La Salle (1644-1687) and Frontenac are partners.  Others, at the time, suggested that Katarakouy or Fort Frontenac is established as a refuge and port of entry for the Coureurs des Bois who are scattered among all the Ottawa Nations to ensure their trade does not fall to the Dutch, English and Iroquois.

September:  The last shipment of Filles du Roi arrived Quebec from France, and the program ended.  The population of New France had risen to 6,700 people, an increase of 168% in the eleven years since the program had begun.  This didn't include the thousands of Coureurs des Bois who took native wives and escaped to freedom of the interior (Indian Country).  Not to mention the growing Metis population.  Acadians who married native women numbered 400-500 about this time.

October:   (I)-Louis de Baud Count of Frontenac (1620-1698), is warned by the Kings Minister in France, never to give corporate form (Estate General) to the people of Canada.  For it is God's will that whoever is born subject should not reason, but obey.  Frontenac is also ordered to quietly suppress the Syndicate of Settlers.  France ordered the Governor to consolidate and concentrate the population into towns and villages for better defense and control.  The Jesuit held firm to the belief that all male citizens should remain at home to become good husbands and fathers to the glory of God and mother Church.  The Coureurs; those runners of the woods, debauched the Natives and endangered their own souls.  The Jesuits wanted absolute control of the fur trade and these free traders are defeating their goal.  The Sovereign Council ordered all beggars to leave Fort Quebec.  Five women had begun begging last year.  The King of France sent sixty young women to New France, but promised to give no more assistance to Canada this year.

May 11:   Jean Oudiette is awarded a monopoly for beaver trade for a period of seven years.  At this time, France has at least twice the population of England and many times her wealth.  The French, with their Coureurs des Bois, are better explorers and negotiators with the Native peoples; yet with all these advantages she proved incapable of peopling the American Empire that she claimed.  Their Policy of one King and one faith (French and Roman Catholic) is the major factor in the decline and fall of the French Empire.  This inward myopic focus, even to present times, is destroying their culture and faith.

When he backed the Jesuit Bishop, Father (I)- Francois Xavier de Laval Montmorency (1623-1708), in his fight against the sale of alcohol to the Amerindians, Frontenac accused him of being the clergy's tool. The two antagonists were recalled to France simultaneously: their disputes had injured the colony and angered the minister.
