Land:
Abraham was given land that was first occupied by Montmagny then ceded to surgeon Adrien Duchesne on 5 April 1639.

Will:
Notary Duquet drew up the will of Abraham about 9:00 o'clock in the evening. Witnesses were bailiffs Jean LeVasseur, Jean Bourdon de Romainville, master cabinetmaker Jacques de la Roe and son-in-law Jacques Ratte.

Inventory of property:
The inventory of property was drawn up by notary Duquet. He stated that Abraham died in his home.

Legal Matter:
Abraham's heirs agreed that their mother would continue to own the land, personal property and livestock. Marguerite was to pay her husband's debts and meet certain financial commitments. This agreement was drawn up by notary Duquet.

Land:
The heirs of Abraham decided to sell the estimated 32 arpents of land to the Ursuline nuns for 1,200 livres. Notary Duquet drew up the paperwork. Jean Madry represented the nuns in this transaction. The division of the money was: 240 livres to Amador Martin when he reaches his majority; 480 livres to the sellers, except for the share to Nicolas Forget which remained in the hands of Madry, the remaining 480 livres had to be paid on the next Christmas.
