http://livingstonaliveandwell.blogspot.com/2012/01/in-beginning.htm... Anne was born in 1632 at Thierry, Normandy. On June 12, 1636, with her father Michel, she arrived in Canada along with a group of Nobility and servants, including her widowed grandmother Jeanne Le Marchant; her uncle, Jacques Le Neuf dela Poterie, married to Marguerite LeGardeur;her aunt, Marie, married December 15, 1636 to Jean Godefroy de Lintot; and her aunt Madeleine, married to Jean Poutrel, Nobleman of Columbier of Caen and their son Guy. In all, fourty-five people arrived in Canada to colonize the new country. They landed in Quebec where Mass and Benediction was celebrated for their safe arrival.

Various spellings of the name Herisson beginning in the 12th Century are as follows: - Ronnaison, Roannezon, Roannaizon, Ronoysons, Ronoyson, Renozoni and from the 15th Century - Renayson, Reneyson; in the 1700's Renaison and Arraison in the 1800's. The one used in Canada was Herisson, but is also listed in the Armorial Du Bourbonnais by the Comte de Soultrait, Moulins, 1890. Tome I, page 87 "CHATELLENIES D'HERRISSON,de GANNAT".

The ship carrying Michel Leneuf sieur du Herrison, widower, and his kinsmen, having left Dieppe April 8, 1636, arrived in Quebec the 12th June 1636. His brother Jacques de la Poteries was a man of influence in the new world. Michel was born in 1601, at Caen, Normandy. He became one of the leading citizens of Three Rivers, Quebec.

In Quebec, on 11 December 1636, he married Jeanne Marchand. While still in Normandy, he was given the title of Master of the Baronnie de Portneuf by the Company of New France on 15 January 1636. This was the land on the left bank of the St. Lawrence River, between Quebec and Three Rivers (Trois Rivieres).

Michel Leneuf sieur de la Poterie, along with 14 of his kinsmen, became a part of the Communaute* (the fur monopoly ceded to the individual inhabitants of the country but "only jointly"). In accepting the monopoly "la Communaute des Habitants", the responsibility and obligations of the one Hundred Associates was also assumed. They would cover the costs, both in France and in Canada, of the administration of the Colony; it would see to the payment of the governor and military officers, to the maintenance of the forts and garrison and the upkeep of the ecclesiastics, to whom it would pay the same annual allowance they had received from the Hundred Associates. It would have the same responsibility for settlement, being bound to bring twenty persons of either sex to the colony each year; and then, since the lands of the St. Lawrence still belonged to the Hundred Associates, the Communaute would report annually on the state of their defences. The treaty was to take effect in 1645, on the day the first ship belonging to the Communaute arrived in Tadoussac from France.

The Communaute was to be composed of those "recognized as habitants du pays" and qualified thereby for membership in the company, but in fact it comprised only a small group of business men, fifteen at most according to a 1646 petition. They were the same men who,before 1645 had succeeded in supplanting a subsidiary company established by the Hundred Associates for the St. Lawrence trade. These business men soon formed a powerful consortium in the colony, reinforced by the ties of kinship.

In the two years, the Communaute reigned, 1645 and 1646, their purses were richer by 544,000 livres, two thirds of the total cost of furs sent to France.

Michel moved to Cap Rouge in 1650 and remained there until 1658. In June 1650, four domestics of M Herrison stole a canoe, supplies, guns and blankets, crossed the river from Cap Rouge and slipped away during the night, never to be seen again.

On May 1, 1653, Monsieur du Herisson, with two other men reported the burning of some barns at Trois Rivieres.

Michel Leneuf u Herisson de la Poterie (to give him his full name) acted as Governor General of Montreal and also Three Rivers, from July 7, 1668.**
