Gobeloteur

The word "gobeloteur" is lost in the mists of time. We must go back to the eighteenth century to find the definition. According to the "Dictionnaire universel françois et latin contenant la signification et la définition tant des mots de l’une et l’autre langue, avec leurs différents usages, que des termes propres de chaque état et de chaque profession", commonly called "Dictionnaire de Trévoux" (most simply too - Trévoux Dictionary) from this time, he would root a derivative of old Provencal"gobel", which indicates a drinking vessel or a rounded vase. The "Robert Historique" dictionary, which takes its information from "Dictionnaire des Étymologies Obscures@ (Dictionary of Obscure Etymologies) written by Pierre Guiraud (1912-1983), a French linguist, he would have to base an Italian root "gobbo" which means "hunchback".

All seem to agree on the fact, and it seems clear that he has a link with the word "gobelet" (goblet). There seems to be also unanimously as to its meaning. The definition found on the web says: "... who loves booze, get drunk... . The English version of "Relations" (Journal) of the Jesuits in Nouvelle-France, it is translated "tippler". The "Dictionnaire de Trévoux" (Lorraine Edition, Nancy 1738-1742) tells us :

GOBELOTER, ou GOUBELOTER, v.n. Boire souvent, & à petits coups. Pitissare. Il ne se dit qu'en mauvaise part des gens de débauche, ou de basse condition, qui sont longtemps à buvoter avant & après le repas. Il est bas.
(Drink often, and in small sips. Pitissare. It says that poor people share of debauchery, or low condition, which are long drink before and after the meal. It is petty. - free translation)

According to the "Dictionnaire de l'Académie française" (1st Edition - 1694) :

GOBELOTER. v. n. Frequentatif. Buvoter, boire à  plusieurs petits coups. Il est bas, & ne se dit guère qu'en mauvaise part. C'est un homme de crapule, qui n'aime qu'à gobeloter.
(Frequentative. Drinking, drink several small strokes. It is petty, and is not much said that in bad part. He is a man of scoundrel, who loves to gobeloter. - free translation)

Guillaume Pelletier dit le Gobeloteur (about 1598-1657)

Guillaume was born at Bresolette in Perche, a former province of France, around 1598. He was the son of coalman Eloi (Eloy) Peltier (Pelletier, Pelletier - 1568-XXXX) and Françoise Matte (Mare - 1565-XXXX). On February 12, 1619 in the parish church of Saint-Aubin of Tourouvre, he married Michelle Mabille, daughter of Guillaume Mabille and Étiennette Monhe (Monhée). Michelle had received the sacrament of baptism in Saint-Aubin on May 20, 1592.

In 1641, probably after the death of the Michelle's parents, the couple sold their properties in European soil to settle in Nouvelle-France, on the "Côte de Beaupré". The younger brother of Guillaume, Antoine, and their son, Jean, accompanies them in this adventure. They leave in France, their two eldest son Claude (1622-XXXX) and Guillaume (1624-XXXX).

Antoine, which we know the date of his birth, married Françoise Morin (1625-1666), daughter of Jean Morin et Jeanne Desnouets-Denoise, on August 19, 1647 in Quebec City. It did not take long time to this marriage, because he died a little less than a month and a half after the ceremony. He would have drowned "Sault Montmorency", while his canoe was overturned, on October 2, 1647 and was buried on October 3, 1647 in Quebec City following a ceremony presided by Father Barthelemy Vimont.

As for Guillaume upon his arrival in Nouvelle-France, it seems to have acted as an employee, probably by the Sulpician who worked at that time, for the erection of a church and a missionary residence. In addition, it is possible that he worked on the fortifications of Quebec, since its arrival coincides with the beginning of the first Franco-Iroquois war. In the fall of 1644, Guillaume buys to Martin Grouvel a land on the "Côte de Beaupré" close to the "Chutes Montmorency" (Montmorency Falls). This land of 6 acres of frontage on the "Saint-Laurent" was granted to Martin Grouvel by the "seigneur" of the place, Robert Giffard, on April 17, 1644. The act of Guillaume is not done in order to establish itself. He wants donate to his younger brother Antoine so he can start a family. Unfortunately, Antoine died shortly after his marriage, and William obliged (duty of the censitaire to lived in) to settle there with his family. In addition to its farmer's activities, it seems that he resumed his coalman's activities. In 1646, the "Relation" of the Jesuits presented as "deserter (read land clearer), sawyer, carpenter, coalman, etc."

Pelletier family is one of the most respected in Nouvelle-France, Guillaume worked for the Jesuits and his son John had "given" to them in 1646. On August 9, 1653, Guillaume was appointed deputy trustee of the "Communauté des Habitants" to represent the Beauport region in Québec. Return to his sources as "pelletier" means one who practices Pelletrie (fur trade), and its function in Beauport was precisely monitor the interests of the community in the fur trade. His instruction (education) and his extensive experience in the coal trade, gave him any assurance of success in this function.

Guillaume died on his land in Beauport, on November 27, 1657, and was buried the next day in Quebec City. Michelle stayed with his son Jean until his death on January 21, 1665, on the family farm.

Among the most famous descendants of Guillaume there :

  • Angelina Jolie, actress;
  • Céline Dion, chanteuse;
  • Diane Tell, chanteuse;
  • Isabelle Boulay, chanteuse;
  • Jack Kerouac, writer and poet.

Jean Pelletier dit Le Gobloteur (about 1627-1698)

Jean was born about 1627 in Saint-Aubin de Tourouvre in the former French province of Perche. He is the son of coalman Guillaume Pelletier dit le Gobeloteur (c. 1598-1657) and Michelle Mabille (1592-1665). on June 12, 1627, he accompanied his godfather Jean Loyseau and her godmother Michelle Bahëre (his maternal aunt), when he was baptized at St-Aubin de Tourouvre. In 1641, accompanying his parents, he immigrated to Nouvelle-France. Working with his father, he learned the trades of coalman, pitsawyer and carpenter. At the age of 19, He "gives" himself to Jesuits. The Father Hiésrome Lallemant (Jérôme Lallemant, Jérôme Lalement - 1592-1673), in August 1646, reported in the "Relation" of the Jesuit :

Le 28, je partis seul dans un canot pour aller aux 3 Rivières. Je menai avec moi dans une chaloupe 2 hommes et un enfant. L'un des hommes était le fils du gobloteur, nommé Guillaume Pelletier, déserteur, scieur de long, charpentier, charbonnier etc. Il se donna tout d'un coup; on promit toutefois à ses parents cent francs pour sa 1e année, et on ne laissa pas de l'habiller tout de neuf.
(The 28 I left alone in a canoe to go to 3 Rivers. I led with me in a boat two men and a child. One of the men was the son of gobloteur named Guillaume Pelletier, deserter, pitsawyer, carpenter, coalman etc.. He gave himself eagerly, but a hundred francs for its first year was promised to his parents and we will dress him up all new. - free translation)

Two little clarification on the above. First, the word "deserteur" (deserter) is not used here "to refer to a person who has abandoned a party, a cause," but to designate a "land clearer." Then the phrase "Il se donna tout d'un coup;" (He gave himself eagerly) should not be understood "became a Jesuit," but rather "volunteered as a companion."

On August 28, 1646, Father Lallemant undertook a journey for the Three Rivers accompanied by Pierre Bouencha, a committed with 100 pounds of wages, a 15 years young boy, engaged as a scullion at the fort. The other man who had accompanying was Jean Pelletier. Determine the state of mineral exploration in Trois-Rivières trip aimed. Assessments of the time were not conclusive: "...Gilles Bacon, qui Aussitôt arrivé à trouver M. le gouverneur à Quebek, par ordre de M. de la Poterie, de manière à donner des informations des Mines d'or et de cuivre qu'il avait trouvé, dont il a certains minerais. Il a été renvoyé, et ils ont trouvé que ce n'était rien de valeur..." (...Gilles Bacon, who soon arrived to find the governor of Quebek by order of M. de la Poterie, in order to provide information of gold and copper mines he found, he has some minerals. It been returned, and they found that it was nothing of value... - free translation). After all his grievances with the Hurons, Father returned to Quebec in the eve of the "Nativity of Our Lady," on September 11.

"Il ne devait pas avoir la vocation. L'année suivante, il fiança Anne Langlois" - Léon Roy
(It should not have a vocation. The following year he affianced Anne Langlois - free translation)Indeed, Jean became engaged to the young Anne Langlois, who was only 10 years. Anne was born on September 2, 1637 in Quebec City, daughter of Noël Langlois (1605-1684) and Françoise Grenier (Garnier - 1604-1665). The "future" is too young, the couple had to wait two years before putting their wedding plans into execution. At the baptism of Jean Langlois, on December 20, 1648, Jean sponsoring the little brother of Anne, who was born the day before. On November 9, 1649 in Beauport, our two "lovebirds" were married and settle on the Pelletier's family land, with his parents, near the "Chutes Montmorency". The couple had at least 9 children :
  • Noël (1654-1712), married with Marie-Madeleine Migneault (Mignot);
  • Anne (1656-XXXX), married with Guillaume Lizot (Lizotte);
  • René (1659-1713), married with Marie-Jeanne Godbout, married with Marie-Madeleine Leclerc;
  • Antoine (1661-1661);
  • Jean (1663-1739), married with Marie-Anne Huot;
  • Delphine (1666-1666);
  • Marie (1667-1725), married with Jacques Gerbert, married with Mathieu Guillet;
  • Charles (1671-1748), married with Thérèse Ouellet, married with Barbe St-Pierre;
  • Marie-Charlotte (1674-1699), married with André Migner.
At the death of his father, he inherited the family farm in Beauport. It is here that all his children will be born, except Delphine, who lived only 20 days in 1666 and Marie in 1667, who were born at the "Île d'Orléans". On December 26, 1663 Jean is granted land in the parish of Saint-Pierre of "Île d'Orléans", in the fief of "La Chevallerie". This concession is close to one of his godson and brother in law Jean Langlois-dit-Boisverdun and the one of his other brother in law Noël Langlois-dit-Traversy. It was not until 1665, following the death of his mother and his stepmother, that he settled there with his wife and their five children. In 1667, Jean sold the land to his godson for as little as 75 pounds "avec toutes ses circonstances et dependances qui consistent en une petite maison et grange ou hangar" (with all its circumstances and outbuildings consisting of a small house and barn or shed). He returned to settle in Beauport until 1675. That year, he left Beauport alone to travel to the "Île-aux-Oies". On February 15, 1676, he sold the land that his father had acquired some thirty years ago, to Charles Cadieu Sieur de Courville for the sum of 1230 pounds. After the sale, he moved with his family to the "Île-aux-Grues" on a land of 6 acres widths over the entire depth of the island.

In 1676, Noël Pelletier (husband of Marie-Madeleine Migneault) and Anne Pelletier (wife of Guillaume Lizot), his two children, then married come to live in the "Grande Ance" (Grande-Anse), named "!Kamouraska" by Native Americans on land granted by Marie-Anne Juchereau, near of "La Pocatière." They will not alone to open these lands for settlement:

  • Nicolas Lebel and his spouse Thérèse Migneault (Mignot);
  • Jean Migneault (Mignot), his spouse Louise Cloutier and their daughter Marie-Madeleine;
  • René Ouellet (1647-1722);
  • Nicolas Huot dit Saint-Laurens (Saint-Laurent) and his spouse Marie Fayet;
  • Jean Grondin and his spouse Xaintes Migneault (Mignot).
Back to Jean. He lived only four years in the islands. In 1679, Nicolas Juchereau de Saint-Denis (1627-1692) granted him a lot in the forest in the seigneurie of "Des-Aulnets" (Des-Aulnaies). This land is located several kilometers of the land acquired by the other members of his family. His only neighbors were Pierre de Saint-Pierre (1643-XXXX) and his wife Marie-Anne Gerbert (1660-1749) who see their be born children 15 : Marie-Anne (1680-1756), Marie-Madeleine (1681-1723), Élizabeth (1682-1734), Pierre II (1694-1749), Marie-Barbe (1685-1752), Ignace (1688- 1772), Thérèse (1690-1763), Marie-Louise (1692-1784), Marie-Françoise (1694-1750), Charles (1696-1755), François (1697-1699), Jacques (1699-1765), Anonyme (1700-1700), Marie-Ursule (1702-1777), Alexandre (1703-1756).

In the census of 1681, commissioned by Bishop François de Montmorency Laval, there were only two families with eleven people on the whole territory of Saint-Roch-des-Aulnaies. It was not until 1694 that a new neighbor, Joseph Ouellet the son René, will settle there. Today, the municipality of Saint-Roch-des-Aulnaies has just over 1000 inhabitants.

Become too old to care for the land, Jean and Anne yielded to their youngest son, Charles, and moved in with their son Noël at Sainte-Anne-de-la-Pocatière. This is where, on February 24, 1698, Jean gave up the ghost. Anne followed six years later, on January 12, 1704. With them died the nickname "dit Le Gobloteur". Both were buried in the cemetery of the parish of Notre-Dame-de-Liesse at "River Houel" (Rivière-Ouelle) in the seigneurie of "La Bouteillerie", the only church around.
