Baptism of Jean Baptiste Fortin<\/p>\n

On the sixteenth of December in the year one-thousand six-hundred eighty-four was baptized at La Rivi\u00ed\u00a8re des Trois Saumons by me, the undersigned missionary of the Seminary of Qu\u00e9bec, providing the functions of the pastor of the south coast, Jean Baptiste, son of Charles Fortin and Sainte Cloutier his wife, born the previous day. The Godfather was Jacques Fortin, the Godmother was Marie Anzelin daughter of Ren\u00e9 Anzelin who have declared that they do not know how to sign as required by law. Thomas Morel, Missionary Priest<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Of some significance is the fact that the baptism occurred at La Rivi\u00ed\u00a8re des Trois Saumons. It is likely that Charles Fortin and Marie Sainte Cloutier resided at that location which was without a church.<\/p>\n
