Adrienne Du Vivier (1626〔1666 Montreal Census〕 – 20 October 1706) was a French pioneer and one of the first white women to settle in the colony of Montreal, Quebec, Canada. She and her husband are often referred to as "Montreal's First Citizens."〔"History of Montreal"〕 ==Arrival in Montreal== Adrienne was born in 1626 in Corbeny, Picardy, France, a daughter of Antoine Du Vivier and Catherine Journe. In 1646, in St. Bartholemi, Paris, at the age of twenty, she married a soldier Augustin Hébert (1623 – 23 November 1653) who had just returned from Canada.〔Marcel Trudel "Catalogue des Immigrants 1632-1662"〕 He was a son of Jean Hebert and Isabeau Troussart 〔Programme de recherche en demographie historique (PRDH) Individual #25027〕 of Caen, Normandy. In 1647, their first child Jeanne was born and baptised in St. Bartholemi, Paris. At the end of the year, Adrienne, her husband and baby Jeanne sailed from La Rochelle to New France along with the founder of Montreal Paul Chomedey de Maisonneuve. They arrived at Montreal Island, in early 1648, and they settled in Montreal, which was then called Fort Ville-Marie. Adrienne was one of the few white women in the colony apart from Jeanne Mance who had founded a hospital with a group of nuns. Early in 1649, she had another daughter, Pauline, who was the first white child baptised in Montreal.〔AugustinAdrienne Hébert page]〕 Maisonneuve stood as godfather, Jeanne Mance was godmother. The child died a few weeks later. Augustin and Adrienne were deeded a huge parcel of land on the island. Augustin was a fur-trader, merchant, farmer and master-mason. He often traded with the Iroquois Indians. He and Adrienne had four children, of whom three reached adulthood. Adrienne and her husband were the first colonists to enroll an indentured servant otherwise known as an engagé. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Adrienne Du Vivier」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
