Vincent Boissonneau

Vincent Nicolas Boissonneau dit St-Onge (ca. 1635 - September 13, 1715) was a soldier and farmer from the County of Saintonge who served in the Carignan-Salières Regiment of New France.[1]

Vincent was born around 1635 in Saint-Seurin-d'Uzet, France. Vincent had served in the Carignan Regiment during the 1664 Battle of Saint Gotthard but the regiment was ordered to La Rochelle where they departed for colony of New France. On June 19, 1665 the regiment arrived and many began constructing fortifications on the Richelieu River Valley to defend the colony from the Iroquois.[2]

Vincent decided to settle in the colony and on October 18, 1669 he would marry Anne Colin, a King's Daughter who lived with him on the Île d'Orléans. They would have many children and descendants who would carry the family’s surname. Vincent died on September 13, 1715, near Québec City[3][4][5]
