In the year one thousand seven hundred fifty three, on the thirtieth day of the month of October, by us, the undersigned priest, pastor, missionary of Cap St. Ignace, was conditionally baptized Jerome, born the twenty fourth of the present month, son of Pierre Gamache and Marie Genevieve Belanger, his wife.

UPDATE 10 Feb 2008: Initially, I was\u00c2\u00a0unable to clearly read the name of the priest, but The Nomadic Researcher<\/font><\/a> wrote to tell me:<\/p>\n

Jean-Fran\u00ed\u00a7ois Curot arrived on November 1st, 1747 as a priest in Cap St-Ignace; he was there for the next 17 years.<\/p>\n
