Notes

Note 1

Marie Mite8ameg8k8e's quiet life was shattered in the fall of 1679 by the assault and death of her daughter Jeanne. Marie's husband had been wounded in coming to the rescue of his daughter. Jeanne's assailant Jean Rattier was sentenced as a murderer. There were other people involved in the assault: Jean Crevier and his servant Pierre Gilbert. For the Couc family, life was not the same after the tragic loss of their daughter and the lengthy justice process. Pierre was a man of character who would not let anyone ill treat his family; he respected the law and expected others to do so also. Justice had been carried out, but not to his satisfaction. Rattier was sentenced to die but his life was spared because he accepted the job as executioner. Pierre received cash settlements but he was not permitted to implicate Crevier in this matter in the future. Crevier continued to enlarge his domain.
