The first mention of Jean Cicot - Sicotte following this event was found in the records of the parish of Notre Dame in Montreal. It is interesting to note that Monsieur de Maisonnueve and Sister Bourgeois were witnesses at the wedding, which took place on the 23rd of October 1662. He died in 1667, on the 8th of June. So, for sixteen years he survived the terrible torture which he had experienced which took place on the 6th of May 1651. On the 3rd of May 1665, three years after Jean's marriage, Monsieur de Maisonnueve granted him a piece of land near the Saint Pierre River.
Arpents are an ancient agrarian measure used in France.
It will be noted that Jean's width ot two measures of land probably gave him access to the river and also that there is nothing said about the length of the piece of land. It was customary in those days to have properties that ran one mile or more back to the river. The census officers of 1666 and 1667 found Jean living on this land. The officers also reported that they had six acres of land cleared, and four head of cattle in their barn. Only a few days later, on the 8th of June 1667, Jean Sicotte passed away after a short illness.
