Death of Marie-Julie Long, on April 25, 1795 at L'Ile Verte, Quebec

Marie-Julie only lived for a short thirteen months.  Her funeral took place at l'Ile Verte on April 25, 1796.  The Long family moved from L'Islet to L'Ile Verte during the year.  We do not have the exact date for that move.

Sale by Philip and Marie-Julie of goods inherited from Emmanuel Couillard-Després

On Febraury 18, 1795, in front of a notary public Augustin Dionne, the sale of goods inherited took place by Philip and Marie-Julie Long.  Here is the original text of this transaction:

«vente (est) faite par Sr et Dme Philippe Lang de leurs droits sur ces fiefs à Sieur Alexandre Croak (Kirouak)». Le contrat est passé à Ste-Anne où résident les témoins, en présence de Philip et Marie-Julie. Ces derniers vendent «tous les terrains, maison, bâtiment, meubles ou il pouvait avoir droit dans les dites successions du Sr Emanuel Couillard Desprais et de feu Marie Genevieve Chalifour sa famme…»

Both the notary Dionne and Philip Long signed their names - both witness, M-Julie and A. Croak made their mark.  The details from this contract show that these goods had been inherited from the Marie-Julie's father, Emmanuel.  This clearly implied that the properties owned by Philip and Marie-Julie were obtained thanks to the Couillard-Després family.

Birth of Marie-Judith Long on November 20, 1795 at l'Ile Verte

On November 25 of this same year was born a second daughter, baptized Marie-Judith Long.  Here is the text of the original entry:

 «le vingt novembre mil Sept cent quatre vingt quinze, Je (Ile-Verte) Soussigné curé de cette »Paroisse ai Baptisé une fille, qui a été nommée marie Judith, née de ce jour du mariage légitime de Philippe Long et marie Julie Coulard des prés. Son parrain a été Amable Marquis, et Sa marraine marie Catherine Ouellet, qui ont Declaré ne Savoir. De ce requis, le pere absent. Chles genest ptre.»
