Guillaume Bauché received a land grant on April 2, 1656 of three acres on the banks of
the SAINT LAURENT river in the lisle of Orleans from Charles de Lauzon, knight lord of
Charny. We have been able to conclude that Guillaume was in Canada for some time, probably
for 36 months, this fact thus confirms, according to the habit of the time, that he
arrived around1653.
On October 16, 1656, at Our-Lady of Quebec, Guillaume married fourteen year old Marie
Paradis, born in 1642, in Mortagne France. This couple had thirteen children.
Rene Bauché, known as Without-Soucy, the young brother of Guillaume, also emigrates to
New-France. He was married three times, and had 17 children. However none of his
descendants perpetuated his name.
Guillaume Bauché died at the age of 57 on October 25, 1687, and was buried the following day at Sainte-Famille Island of Orleans. Marie Paradis died on December 15, 1708, and was also buried at Sainte-Famille Island of Orleans.
