Residence:
This town is situated on the road which connects Mamers to Saint-Martin-du Vieux-Belleme, in the Department of the Orne.

Employment:
Gilles signed a contract before notary Teuleron. He was to work for Jacques Le Neuf, Sieur de la Poterie. The contract states that he must work for "seven years and gather and raise fruits which will begin at the time of the arrival of Trotier in the said country." He was obligated to work, to sow, to hoe, to cut, to thresh the wheat, and clean, "all wisely". On his part, the employer would provide four cows and two bulls as well as an experience hired hand to help him. The two men mush make planks directly from the pines cut on the land. In addition, Gilles would clear an arpent-and-a-half of woods and deliver to his employer twelve chickens, six capon, and twenty pounds of butter from each of the four cows. "It was necessary to advance him 46 livres at the time of his departure to clothe himself." "Although the contract makes no reference to the family of the new farmer, Father Godbout (Nos Ancetres XVIIe Siecle) is sure that they embarked with him. They all must have been in La Rochelle by 4 July, because the last arrangements for the departure of the small fleet destined for Canada, comprised of the ships Cardinal, Notre-Dame, and Navire Neuf, were made at the Admiralty of La Rochelle four days earlier, on 18 July 1646." Pierre Legardeur de Repentigny himself commanded the Cardinal, a "spacious" ship of 300 tons, in which the Trottier family must have made the crossing. The three vessels arrived almost simultaneously at Quebec. On 27 September, four days after debarking, the Trottiers brought Jean-Baptiste to the baptismal font at Quebec: He was born during the crossing.

Immigration:
The ship was most likely the Cardinal under the command of Pierre Legardeur de Repentigny. Departure was on 22 July 1646 with arrival on 23 September 1646 in Quebec.

Land:
Accepting land from Governor Louis d'Ailleboust a site neighboring Guilliaume Pepin. It was a lot with 10 toises in frontage and 20 toised in depth, running along the rue Saint-Michel.

Land:
Gilles bought it from the heirs of Mathurin Guillet dit Laroche for the sum of 200 livres. This was a piece of land with two arpents of frontage by twenty deep, a few arpents below the Faverel brook.

Land:
Unable to construct a house, as he was obliged to do, he sold off the south-west half of his land, which was re-ceded to Baptiste Bourgery.

Buried:
