Madeleine managed Verchères until her marriage in September 1706 to Pierre-Thomas Tarieu de La Pérade, who was a lieutenant in the regular troops of New France.  He was the son of Thomas de Lanouguère, an administrator of the colony who descended from an old noble family in France.  The couple moved to Sainte-Anne-de-la-Pérade, Quebec, where Tarieu was co-seigneur.  Madeleine's seigneury at Verchères was transferred to her new husband.
