  • Notes 
    • Some sources indicate Jean and Marthe's son, Pierre, was born around 1646; others around 1631. We do not know at this point whether or not Pierre SICARD de CARUFEL came to Canada but there is a record in the University de Montreal -- P.R.D.H. - Programme de Recherche en Demographie Historique database for a "Pierre SICARD born around 1631 in France Indeterminee (undetermined place in France) Status: Immigrant. Died outside of Quebec." There is no indication that this was Jean & Marthe's son. It is more likely he is the unwed Pierre SICARD mentioned in the 1681 Census for Montreal, aged 50, occupation: "domestique du seminaire"

      A P.R.D.H. burial record for a "Pierre SICARD - Status Immigrant born around 1645 France indeterninee who died 1687- 11-27 St-Joachim (Civil Archives) and was buried 28 Nov. In attendance were Antoine Baillon, Julien Fortin and the priest Louis Soumandre. the 1667 Census for Beauport has a Pierre SICAR age 22 [born abt 1645] listed with 35-year- old Michel FILLION, Royal Notary for Beauport and his wife Marguerite AUBER aged 48, Urbain Dosmont 23, Elie Voysin 28. This may be an ancestor of the BOBINE [aka VOISINE] - SICARD line and/or it may be the unwed, 35-year-old Pierre SICARD who was also a seminary "domestique" in Montreal in 1681.

      Pierre married Marie de Fargues daughter of Jacques, seigneur de Farguettes in 1663. PRDH indicates that he was married "before 1683-12-31" other sources give the date as December 5, 1683.

      On May 11, 1664, Marthe de Saint-Paul made her testament in favour of her husband and two sons, Pierre, sieur de Carufel, a Parisien parliamentary lawyer, and Charles. Two years later [1666] Pierre and Marie de Fargues' son, Jean, was born. [According to military documents, Jean was 66 in 1732] Following the 1664 to 1667 ordinances revising titles of nobility, Sicard appeared before the Montpellier tribunal and on September 5, 1669, he and his descendants were declared nobles. The act also mentions the fief of Carufel.

      By October 1685, Louis XIV, who had been hounding the Huguenots for five years, revoked the Edict of Nantes and huge waves of Huguenot refugees fled France. Many of the Protestants who remained in France converted to Catholicism. As the first mention of his son Jean in New France is his recantation dated 20 January 1686. Although we know Jean was not Catholic, we have not yet determined whether the young man -- and his family -- were Protestant, Huguenots or Albigeois Cathares.

      It is interesting to note that more than 200 years after Pierre's marriage, the community of Fauch had 769 inhabitants in 1876 and consisted of 54 "lieu dits", farms and hamlets. The following list indicates first the number of houses in each principle place and second the number of inhabitants: l'Albière, 1 [house], 6 [people]; Barthille, 1, 10; Besclaux, 3, 14; la Bixasse, la Bonayde, 1, 10; la Borie Grande , 2, 13; Bouteillé, 10, 48; le Bouyssou, 7, 28; las Bouyssoniès, Campagnac, Cantelause, Capoulun, 2, 12; Carufel, 2 [houses], 12 [people]; les Cazelles, 2, 7; les Clauzes, 8, 36; Combe del Trivalou, la Coste del pountil, 1, 3; le Coural, 2, 11; Cournillou, 1, 4; le Devez, 1, 7; le Duc, la Fage, 2, 6; la Ferronière, les Fontariès, 1, 3; la Granayrié, 5, 28; la Janade, 4, 17; Jardel, 1, 8; Jeanevert, 1, 4; la Lande, Lestivé, la Marinié, 15, 61; Mas Courrèges, Masplo, 6, 36; le Moulinet, 1, 2; le Moulin-vieux, 4, 19; Palandran, 1, 6; las Plantades, Puech Long, 1, 3; Puech Mège, 1, 4; Puech Miséry, 1, 4; Puech Nocoffe, 4, 17; Puechourial, Puech Sicardou, Ramier, Riguier, Ritournel, la Séguinié, 4, 15; las Taillades, las Trémoulados, le Trivalou, 3, 18; lous Vignals, la Vignasse, Villetourne, l'Ysarnarié, 4, 20; Puech Franc, 2, 6.
