Louis Morissette (1807-1881)
Descendents of Louis Morissette (1807-1881) placed a commemorative plate on a roc at the start of the XXnd century to honour three pioneers of the seventh country road of Tremblay county in the Saguenay.
Louis Morissette, his wife Marie-Louise Clément dit Labonté and their three children arrived in Chicoutimi in the year 1846. The family settled on lot 40, on county road seven, in the county of Tremblay, around 1848/1849. Louis (1834-1929), the oldest of the three children, settled on a lot adjacent to the family land with his wife Élisabeth Rhainds. Marie-Louise (1838-1908) maried Herménégilde Turcotte, a farmer from Saint-Fulgence. François (1842-1933) inherited the family land. Louis died in 1881 and Marie-Louise Clément dit Labonté died in 1894 at the venerable age of 104.
It should be noted that Louis Morissette and Marie-Louise Clémetn dit Labonté had the same ancestors, Jean Moricet and Jeanne Choret by their children Nicolas and Marie-Jeanne. Louis is a descendant of Nicolas and Anne Cloutier while Marie-Louise is from the Marie-Jeanne and Léonard Clément-Labonté lineage.
