In the early days of Quebec, it was not uncommon for French men to take Indian women as wives. Such was the case of the parents of Madeleine-Euphrosine Nicolet. She was born in about 1628 to Jean Nicolet and a woman of the Nipissing tribe in what is now Ontario. Her mother has been named as Elisabeth Manitoukoue in some research, but the source of this is unknown. Jean had been living in the area for about ten years, learning the ways of the natives and their language. He settled deep into Indian country, in an area around Lake Nipissing. For a time, he lived in an Indian village and this is when Madeleine-Euphrosine was born.
In 1629, when Englishman David Kirke took over Quebec and forced the French to return to Europe, Jean stayed in the Indian village. The French came back to power in 1632, and he brought Madeleine-Euphrosine with him to the French settlement. From then on, she lived amongst the white population, assimilating into Quebec society. It isn't known what became of her mother — whether she lived in Quebec at all, stayed with her people or died when Madeleine-Euphrosine was young. Jean married a woman from France in 1637 and had two children with her. Then he died in a boating accident in 1642.
The following year, when Madeleine-Euphrosine was still a teen, she married a French man, Jean LeBlanc. They had at least five children, but Jean died on September 11, 1662. On February 22, 1663, Madeleine-Euphrosine married a French man named Elie Dussault dit Lafleur. They settled in Quebec City, where he worked aboard the ships. Judging by the date of her marriage and the date of the birth of her son Louis (August 25, 1663), she must have been pregnant when they married. After Louis, they had three more sons together, born between 1665 and 1673.
Madeleine-Euphrosine died on September 30, 1689 at Hotel Dieu in Quebec City (a hospital). It isn't known when husband Elie died, but he was living in 1692.

Biography
This ancestor is the daughter of a Nipissing woman and Jean Nicolet who lived among the Nipissing for seven years as a clerk, interpreter and intermediary for a company of wealthy French merchants. This daughter, called Euphrosine or Madeleine (or both) Nicolet, was thus likely the New France's first Métis child born of a man born in France. Euphrosine was born circa 1628. When Jean Nicolet returned to the French settlement of Québec around 1637 and married a French woman, it seems he brought Euphrosine with him.[citation needed][1] She was literate and could sign her name which she spelled UFroisine.[citation needed][1]
Jean Nicolet died in 1642 in Sillery to the west of the city of Québec. The following year, Euphrosine married (ct18-10 Tronquet) Jean LeBlanc who was subsequently killed by the Iroquois in 1662. Euphrosine and Jean LeBlanc had at least 5 children, two of whom reached adulthood: Jacques born in 1648 and Madeleine born in 1652. Shortly after LeBlanc’s death, Euphrosine re-married with Élie Dussault. It appears this union had four sons.
Euphrosine Madeleine died in Sillery in 1689.
