Paul Mondou (I).

Marriage to Marie-Charlotte Varin.

War broke out between the French and British when Paul was 16. He no doubt served in the militia in his country's defense for all able-bodied men were called, though the fall of Montréal at the end of the French and Indian War in 1760 meant he was to serve the English king.

Paul married Marie-Charlotte Varin on 14 November 1763 in Longueuil. He received a concession of land in Saint-Eustache, just west of Montréal along Rivière des Mille-Îles. Their son Paul, our ancestor, was baptized 31 July 1771 in Sainte-Geneviève church built by the Sulpician Order in Pierrefonds in the western section of Île-de-Montréal since the chapel in Saint-Eustache was not yet built.

Paul died in Laval on 24 April 1785 at the age of 46. Charlotte remarried a few years later on 23 January 1788 to Louis Pelletier, who himself was a widower. She died in Longueuil on 26 November 1811.
