Etienne Fontaine was born 24-Feb-1659 to Jacques Fontaine and Jeanne Colinet in Saint-Sauveur on Ile d'Yeau (Island of Yeu) or Isle-Dieu (Island of God) in the district of Les Sables-D'Olonne in France. It is not known exactly when he arrived in Nouvelle-France (New France). However, on 4-Feb-1683, he filed a marriage contract in front of the notary public Vachon. He married Marie Conille on 8-Feb-1683 at Saint-Laurent church on the Ile d'Orleans (Island of Orleans) in the Saint Lawrence River of New France. At the birth of their second child, Jeanne, the couple was living in Saint-Jean of the Ile d'Orleans. In 1689, we could find the couple still in Saint-Jean of the Ile d'Orleans in an established residence. They occupied ground number 44 with a land surface of 3 arpents. Today, this ground carries the civic numbers 1229 and 1233 Chemin Royal (Royal Path) in Saint-Jean, Ile d'Orleans. In 1708, it is mentioned he was working as a boat master. He was the owner of a brigantin called "The Saint-Louis". Upon a consent and enumeration on 25-Aug-1725, the boat occupied the same ground with a house, barn, cattle shed and now 50 arpents of arable land. In 1730, in front of the notary public Pichet, he bequeathed his land to his two sons. Etienne lived a long life of approximately 80 years and died in the presence of two of his sons and of Charles Francois Mazunier, missionary of the parish of Saint-Jean in May of 1739. His wife Marie had passed away two years earlier. They are buried on ground No. 44 in the parish burial grounds of Saint-Jean on the Ile d'Orleans.
