Mathias Campagna, son of Mathurin Campagna and Jacquette Suire, was born in 1626 in the French city of Saint-Christophe d'Angoulins near La Rochelle. His father was probably born in 1626, and his mother Jacquette Suire in 1610, both from La Rochelle.
In 1664, Mathias 38, Pierre 20, and brother-in-law Jacques Dubois, from Nieul-sur-Mer, near d'Angoulins, planned to settle in New France. On March 24, 1664, they boarded Charles Aubert of Chesnaye’s Noir de Hollande, and landed in Québec City on May 24, 1664.
Mathias and other arrivals worked an engagé (hired worker) and settled in the Island of Orleans. His first employer was Seigneur Charles Gauthier, a man in his forties also known as Boisverdun. He hired Mathias and taught him how to farm, build a house and prepare for the long and chilling winters. Upon the completion of Mathias’ three-year contract, he could purchase land. The 1666 census for L’Île d'Orléans confirmed Mathias 40, worked for Seigneur Charles Gauthier 48. Catherine Camus Gauthier’s spouse 31, and 2 engagés, Bouteleux and one unnamed also lived on the Gauthier farm.
The Island of Orleans first known as Bacchus (God of wine), Saint-Marie by the Hurons and today as the Island of Orleans in honour of Henry II duke of Orléans and his son François the 1st. Three ships landed with 1000 soldiers, half of them settled there. Intendant Talon arrived on September 12, 1665.
On June 27, 1666, before Notary Claude Aubert, Mathias planned to purchase from Louis Houde, who was returning from France, a two-acre waterfront property with farm buildings and a house. Gauthier allowed him to buy it before his contract expired. He was to pay £800 in four instalments at the Saint-Rémy Feast Day and yearly rental fees of 20 sols, 12 deniers and the 2 capons in liquid. Mathias planned to work on his new property and complete the contract with his Seigneur. The contact stipulated that Houde could keep grain, barn and lumber in the cowshed. Unfortunately, Houde did not consult his wife Magdeleine Boucher. On January 20, 1667, before Notary Aubert, she had the contract annulled. Houde reimbursed Notary Auber and compensated Mathias for his seven-month’s work with the wheat harvest but set aside two bushels of wheat, the barn’s hay, seeds and two 40-litre containers of peas.
On the 1667 September and October census, Suzanne was seven years younger than her husband Mathias. Suzanne had married Pierre Auclair and they had two sons, Pierre and André. Pierre Auclair died and was buried on January 25, 1653. She annulled her second marriage with Jacques Michel. It is possible that Suzanne knew Mathias as they lived in same French village of St-Christophe Angoulins, located 12 km East of La Rochelle. The census also confirmed that Mathias farmed for Lord Gauthier. His employer owned 6 livestock and 15 valuables (160 yd). At that time, being employee on a farm meant that Mathias did not own properties.
The next year on April 20, 1667, before Notary Paul Vachon, Mathias went to Québec City diocese and met Monsignor of Laval , Québec City and L’Île d'Orléans’ bishop. The contract read:
“ He was granted the right to rent the two- (128 yd) concession No. 234 facing the northern side of the Saint-Lawrence River. He paid rental fees of 20 sols for each arpent (64 yd), 12 deniers and 2 capons in liquid or 30 sols per capon on the Feast Day of Saint Martin. Mathias could work as long as he cleared the land, built a house and a fifteen-foot wide road. He could also fish and hunt on the rented land. The agreement did not last long and on January 24, 1668, Martin de Saint-Aignan bought the property.
In New France, Suzanne might have met Mathias in church. In fact, on April 22, 1667, Notary Gilles Rageot and Co. issued Suzanne and Mathias a marriage license between Suzanne and Mathias. On Monday the 25, the feast day of Saint-Marc, Mathias Campagna, 41, married Suzanne Aubinot 34, in Québec City’s Notre-Dame Church. The marriage license stated: “… were present Mathias Campagna, from liste d’Orléans [17th century spelling] son of Mathurin Campagna and Jacquelette Spire , father and mother both from Angoulin’s Parish near La Rochelle, both deceased, and Suzanne Aubineau, Pierre Auclair’s widow, from Angoulins near La Rochelle, France. The couple shared in joint estate and Mathias brought a douaire.
The new couple’s reception took place at the residence at Rochellois Madame Anne Gauthier and bourgeois Lord Guillaume Feniou. There were about 23 guests, some of whom were high-ranking personalities.
