Joseph Guillet dit St. Mars was born in Batiscan on April 18th, 1700. He was the 9th child, 2nd son of Louis and Marie Trottier. It appears that Joseph spent his life in this community, living on the family farm. He was a very respected citizen of Batiscan; notarized records show that in 1736 he was referred to as a lieutenant of the Militia. By 1739, documents refer to him as Captain of the Militia of the Batiscan River area. On March 12th 1739, his mother Marie Trottier appeared before the notary A. B. Pollet to dictate her last will and testament. Her oldest son, Joseph, captain, was designated the executer. This son of Louis was married twice. The first time was at the age of 26 on September 26th 1726 when he wed Angélique Lepellé (age 23) the daughter of the late Claude Lepellé-Lahaye, captain of the Militia and of Marie Charlotte Jeremie of Batiscan. They had one child, Joseph Guillet dit St Mars. On February 16th 1736, Angélique and Joseph appeared before the notary, A.B. Pollet. They signed a will designating each other as beneficiary. On June 10th 1753 Angélique passed away. Two years later, on February 17th 1754 in nearby Saint Anne de la Pérade, Joseph married Marie Joseph Rivard dit Lanouette. She was 19 years old, the daughter of Ignace Rivard-Lanouette, Captain of the Militia of the Seigneury of Ste Marie and Marie Josephte Perrault. Attending the wedding was another captain, Pierre Rivard-Lanouette, uncle of the bride and captain of Saint Anne. All these Captains of the Militia would appear to be following a family tradition. Their ancestor was Nicolas Rivard dit Lavigne who was the first to hold that position in Cap de la Madeleine in 1651 then in Batiscan. Nicolas had close ties to the Guillet family. His brother-in-law was Pierre Guillet dit Lajeunesse, Joseph's grandfather!Marie Josephte and Joseph were the proud parents of 3 boys and 4 girls. They did not all survive to adulthood to start families of their own:Marie Josephte: 1754Marie Marguerite: January 17, 1755Pierre René: 1756Charles Nicolas: 1757Marguerite Geneviève: January 10, 1759Joseph Louis: January 5 1760Elisabeth: 1761A captain of the militia, Joseph may have fought in the seven years war that ultimately saw New France handed over to the English in 1763. He was in his 50's at the beginning of the war so I`m not sure if he was still part of the militia. I have so far been unable to find the date of his death. A receipt was signed by him on March 26th 1762 and on January 15th 1765, Marie-Josephte married Jean-Baptiste Dumont in Batiscan. She passed away on April 7th 1790 at the age of 56.JOSEPH GUILLET DIT ST MARC (1700 )
