SEVENTH GENERATION

---

176. Joseph François FOURQUIN-LÉVEILLÉE was baptized around 1723 in the Parish of Vitée, diocese of Thou, Lorraine, France. Vitée is situated in the heart of the Lorraine Plains. It is southeast of Newfchâteau in the Department of Vosges and south of Nancy in Lorraine, France.
He was also known as Joseph FOURQUAIN dit LÉVEILLÉE (Tanguay) and François FOURQUIN-LÉVEILLÉE. He is listed as a godfather to Marie Agathe CANTARA on the Baptismal Acte of 22 Oct 1759. His name appears as JOSEPH FOURCAIN LEVEILLE and his occupation is listed as "SOLDAT AU REGIMENT DE LANGUEDOC". His goddaughter Marie Agathe lived less than a month.
He married Marie-Anne GIGUÈRE on 22 Feb 1762 in St-Michel, Yamaska, Québec. The Marriage Contract was set up on 2 Mar 1762 with the Notary Louis PILLARD. He was buried on 31 Oct 1790 in St-Michel, Yamaska, Québec.(1)(3)(5)(2)(22)

There is an entry in the Family Tree Maker's Archives: Passenger and Immigration Lists Index, 1500s-1900s that states "Fourquain, Joseph, 1762, Québec, from Norman Laybourn Emigrations of Alsaciens & Lorrains." This would probably indicate that Joseph was born in Diocèse de Thou, Toul, Lorraine, France, where his parents were married.
