After her father's death, she left for Canada in 1670at about age 18, bringing goods worth an estimated 200 livres for herdowry.
On 01 September 1670, Jeanne married Charles Petit at Quebec City andwas
given the King's Gift of 50 Livres. Neither spouse could sign the marriagecontract drawn up 24 August by notary Becquet. Charles was born about1639 in the parish of Saint-Pierre in Anneville-sur-Seine (arrondissementand diocese of Rouen), Normandy, the son of Jean Petit and AnneMauger.

However, after hearing the case,the court ordered Jeanne to keep out of others' business and warnedboth parties not to insult each other. That same day, Jacques Sabourinand his wife Mathurine Renault brought Jeanne before the same court forslander.

"reparation of honor" (public apology) to the couple, which she did.
