Isaac came from Faubourg St.
Germain near La Fleche, Angers, Anjou,
France. He was hired under contract on 12/4/1653 at La
Fleche and
arrived in Montréal 16/11/1653. He was a master
mason.
He was part of the "Recrue de 1653"(for which a book has
been
written) which was brought to Montréal by de
Maisonneuve in order to
fortify the colony of Villemarie and to help fight the
Iroquois. The
men recruited were said to be strong, robust and brave.
Accompanying
them during the crossing to Canada was the illustrious
Marguerite
Bourgeoys.
