Little is known about Françoise before her marriage to Guillaume Trahan on 13 July 1627, at Saint-Étienne, Chinon, Touraine, France. Her marriage record does not list her parents' names. They are the parents of at least the following:

1) Jeanne (1629-1699) md Jacques Bourgeois

2) second child that traveled with him from France

 

The family is listed on the passenger list of the St-Jehan, which left La Rochelle, France on 1 April 1636:

"Guillaume Trahan, officer of the cavalry, with his wife and two children and a servant, also from Bourguil [Anjou]"

 

She died prior to Guillaume's second marriage which took place in about 1666.

 

Her birth and death information is per his wikitree profile, managed by the Acadian Project. His death year is estimated.

 

The following was provided by Mark:

 In his 2022 work, Vachon poses the possibility that a Trahan daughter, and not a Bourgeois, was the wife of Germain Doucet dit La Verdure, whom records identify as the brother-in-law of Jacques Bourgeois. This person may be the second child listed above, or another child.

 

In 1639, she was the godmother to Marie, daughter of Charles de Menou, when she was baptized at Port-Royal. The transcript of this baptismal record, which is preserved among the manuscripts of the Cabinet des titres at the Bibliothèque nationale de France, lists her surname as Charbonneau.
