| Notes |
- Guillaume Daoust became, like his father, a tailor by trade. He is first noted on February 14, 1678, in Montréal, on St. Valentine day. On February 18, 1686, in Lachine, Guillaume married Marie-Madeleine Lalonde, born in 1672, daughter of Jean De Lalonde, dit L'Espérance, and of Marie Barbant.
A tragedy struck the Daoust family in 1687. Since the beginning of May 1687, the French had declared war with the Indians. The Iroquois, near the present Baie-d'Urfée, ambushed a group of French settlers; Jean De Lalonde, father of Marie-Madeleine was killed in this ambush. Starting in November 1687, the parish activities slowed down and the settlers that habited the end of the island moved closer to the village of Lachine. The Indian skirmish continued during two years and it was in 1689, that the horrible Lachine massacre took place, during the night of August 4th to 5th. Guillaume Daoust and Marie Madeleine Lalonde were still living in Lachine at that time; they survived the tragedy along with Marie Barbant, the widow of Jean De Lalonde, who had remarried.
The couple, along with several other survivors of the massacre, settled at Pointe-Aux-Trembles, at the end of Montréal Island. In 1698, a Treaty was signed with the Iroquois and many other settlers returned to Lachine.
Around 1700, the ancestor Guillaume Daoust was Captain of the Milice for Lachine and Laprairie Regions; and Guillaume is noted as being one of the first settlers to be cultivating wheat and to share a common mill at Perrot Island.
The ancestor Guillaume Daoust died at the age of 84, on March 8th, 1729 at Bellevue, and was buried the next day in the Ste-Anne-du-Bout-de-l'Île. His widow, Marie-Madeleine Lalonde survived him until 1761, and was buried January 3rd, at the age of 89.[Source:www.smartnet.ca/users/roberochon/DaoustG.htm"] Translation:Francoise Kardash.
