CLOUTIER, ZACHARIE, master carpenter, pioneer at Beauport, originally from Saint-Jean-Baptiste de Mortagne in Perche; b. c. ; d. 17 Sept. at Château-Richer and was buried there the following day.
Having married Xainte Dupont on 18 July , Cloutier entered into an undertaking at Mortagne with Robert Giffard, the seigneur of Beauport, on 14 March ; by the terms of this agreement he was to come to Canada that same year with his fellow-countryman Jean Guyon Du Buisson, senior, and he received at the same time the grant of an arriere-fief at Beauport.
The two settlers took formal possession of their lands on 3 Feb. The previous year, if not before, their families had joined them in Canada, for the two households figure in the marriage contract of Robert Drouin and Anne Cloutier on 27 July
Cloutier’s holding, the fief of La Clouterie (or La Cloutièrerie), brought him into conflict with his neighbour Guyon
