Louis Guerineau (probably the same as Louis Garnauld) b-1634, is 21 years old, cannot write, originally from Poitou Region of France; He is considered a general labourer hired April 11, 1656 for 3 years at 75 pounds per year (Debien List) with 30 companions. Sailed on the ship Bull First mention of him: Sailed from France January 11, 1660, qualified as a worker. He received his Confirmation in Québec on February 24, 1660 (probably Notre-Dame de Quebec). He was given some land on December 23, 1662 and married Marie Mazoué on July 23, 1663. He was still alive in 1681. Source Catalogue des immigrants.

Questions
does age 21 apply to 1656 or 1660? Either way its in conflict with confirmed age 26?
how can he be confirmed in Quebec in February 24 having only left January 11?
Does three year indenture start in 1656 or upon sailing or arrival?
Land is likely not allowed until indenture is completed and he is confirmed?
If we assume confirmed in 1661 age 26 then he would be age 21 in 1656 and born 1635?
If we assume Feb 24 1660 confirmed date is correct age 26 then hire date of 1656 is in error?

Michael Garnaud of France wonders!
If age 26 is correct and confirmed in 1660 is correct then he should be born 1636?
Why do so many sources suggest a birth date of 1641?
If he left La Rochelle in 1656 and was born 1641 he would be only 15 years old?
Does this sound logical?

Tentative conclusion
It is highly unlikely he is hired in 1656 and does not sail until 1660.
It is more probable he acquired land in 1661 as he would need time to clear and build house before marriage.
It is most probable he is hired 1658 with arrival no later 1659
There is nothing to confirm or disprove the common birth date of 1641.

Events:
1656 April 11, hired for three years (starting when?)
1658 July 7 Louis Garneau and Jacques Jacquereau acquire three arpents of land on the coast of Bowsprit (LaAngle-Gardien, Quebec) and in 1660 entrusted land to Jacques Vesina
1660 January 11, sailed from France

1661 March 25 sells his share Bowsprit  to Jacquereau for 500 pounds
1661 or 1662? Louis joined the L'Ange Gardien, Quebec colony. (conflict)
1663 Marie arrived Quebec, Quebec, girl of the king, orphan of father and mother.
1663 July 23 married Quebec, Quebec

1663 DUTCH REFORM CHURCH, NEW YORK, NEW YORK

Sara Garneau was born, February 4, 1663, of the Reform Dutch Church, New York, New York daughter Stephen Garneau.
(Source International Genealogical Index).  This record is claimed to be from list of birth records 1639-1730.  This is a highly unlikely entry as the Garneau name didn't exist at this time, must be a spelling error.

1756 FORT ST. FREDERIC, QUEBEC
