Jeanne Rossignol was born in about 1652 to Martin Rossignol and Renee Desjardins in Chartes, France. After her father died when she was a teen, her future looked uncertain; then she was accepted to be a King's Daughter, part of the migration to Quebec. Marriageable women were selected to help populate the French colony, a place where males far outnumbered females. As a King's Daughter, she had her passage paid for and could receive a payment of 50 livres if she married a Quebec man. In addition, Jeanne arrived with 200 livres in goods to offer a prospective husband. She was chosen almost immediately by a man named Charles Petit, and they were married on September 1, 1670.
Jeanne settled in Neuville with her husband and had two sons, but Charles died in 1673.
She married a second husband Jean Forget on February 4, 1674 and they had one son, but Jean died two years later. She married a third time to Urbain Fouquereau on December 28, 1676. Jeanne and Urbain had eight children born between 1677 and 1696; then Urbain died in February 1700. Jeanne married a fourth time to François Huard dit Laliberte, a widower.
In 1673, Jeanne got in trouble with her neighbors Neuville. She filed a complaint against Suzanne Rousselin, another King's Daughter, but lost the case when the court told her to ?keep out of others? business? and warned both not to insult each other. That same day, Jeanne was also brought under charges of slander by neighbors Jacques and Mathurine Renault. She lost this case too; the court decreed that ?unless Jeanne could prove that Jacques was a thief and his wife a whore, she would have to make a ?reparation of honor? (public apology) to the couple, which she did.?
Jeanne died on January 22, 1712, at the Hotel-Dieu de Quebec, a hospital that is known as the first in what is now Canada and the United States. Her husband died there as well on August 24, 1722.
