LAPLANTE ROOTS 1685-1865: CANADA
CLEMENT LERIGE, SIEUR DE LA PLANTE 1662
Officer of the Troupes de la Marine
THE FIRST OF THE NAME IN CANADA
Clement Lerige, Sieur de La Plante, the Canadian ancestor of the families Leriget, Deriger, de La Plante, La Plante and Laplante-Courville arrived in the country in 1685 with Monsieur de Denonville, in his capacity as ensign with shoulder lanyard in the Troupes de la Marine. These troops were called this because, in the colonies, they came under the Minister of the Navy.
Fort Remy is also known as Fort Lachine
On the day following the massacre at Lachine, the morning of the 6th of August 1689, La Plante found himself at Fort Remy, near the old church.

On the nights of August 4-5, 1689, fifteen hundred Iroquois landed at Lachine. At the signal, the massacre began. Two hundred people died and one hundred and twenty others were taken captives.
Monsieur de Vaudreuil, entrenched at Fort Roland near the dock of Lachine, gave the order to the garrison at Fort Remy to join him. As these troops marched down the main road the Iroquois surprised them. Nearly all of the savages who took part were killed. Lieutenant La Rabeyre, La Plante and Villedonne were taken prisoner. Only the future baron of Longueuil, having a broken limb escaped on his own thanks to some friendly savages who carried him on their shoulders.
The unfortunate captives, transported beyond Lake St-Louis, suffered all the rage of the cruel victors. Many of them suffered torture and were burned. The others were carried to Onnontague where they were made to walk for a long time on a bed of live coals.
However, La Plante and Villedonne were spared. The enemy judged them more useful alive than sacrificed; enslaved-servants and porters in the combat expeditions of the Indians--this is what became of the two young officers.
For the ancestor this servitude lasted more than two years. Of necessity he adapted himself to this new life and familiarized himself with the Indian languages.
A French party commanded by Monsieur de Beaucourt freed him in an attack on the Iroquois near the island of Tonihata in February 1692.
Charlevoix who reported the incident wrote that “not having been recognized at first sight in his Indian clothes, (La Plante) we thought to have him killed as an Iroquois”.
The same year, Frontenac made him an infantry ensign. This nomination was confirmed by Louis XIV in an order dated the 1st of March 1693.
On 25 July 1700 Clement Lerige, in garrison at the fort at St-Lambert, acquired 150 acres of land from Pierre Bourdeau in an area situated “in the locality of La Tortue” (The Turtle) in the seigneury of la Paririe de la Magdeleine.
From then on he dreamed of settling down, because a few weeks later, on 8 September (1700) La Plante married Marie Roy, daughter of Pierre Roy and Catherine Ducharme, inhabitants of St-Lambert. Catherine Ducharme was a Fille du Roi (King’s daughter). The simple and discreet ceremony – remember that the king’s orders forbade officers from marrying a young lady without a dowry – took place in the chapel of Ste-Vierge at St. Lambert.
Here is the record in its entirety:
“The year of our Lord one thousand seven hundred, the eight of September. I, the undersigned, Louis de LaFaye, curate of the parish of St. Francois-Xavier at La Prairie de la Magdeleine, certify having given the benediction of marriage after having received from Monsieur Dolier, grand-vicar of the diocese, a written dispensation of all banns to Clement Lerige, officer of a detachments of marines, known also as Laplante, and to Marie Roy, in the Chapel of Ste-Vierge at St. Lambert, in the presence of Pierre Roy, inhabitant of St, Lambert, Andre Babeu and Claude Chartier who stated that they did not know how to sign. The said Clement Lerige signed a draft copy, the Register being unavailable, which I affirm to be true, and in faith of which I have signed this day, the ninth of September in the present year, one thousand seven hundred.
Marie Roy was only 19 at the time of the marriage: the husband was well into his thirties. When the military authorities got wind of the affair, they informed Versailles. The king stripped La Plante but restored him in rank a short time later. (1702-1703)
During the years that followed, the ancestor, established at Laprairie, raised his large family. Children of Clemet Leriger and Marie Roy: Louis Leriger-Laplante, Marie Catherine Leriger, Pierre Leriger-Laplante, Clement Leriger-Laplante, Rene Clement Leriger, Charlotte Leriger-Laplante, Francois Michel Leriger, Paul Leriger Ecuyler Si LaPlante, Jean Baptiste Leriger-Laplante, Antoine Leriger, Rene Leriger-Laplante, Joseph Marie Leriger-Laplante.
It was not until 1720 that he was promoted to lieutenant.
Clement Lerige received three concessions of land from the Jesuits, seigneurs of La Prairie de la Magdeleine. The first, on 4 February 1714, of an area of 60 acres; the second, on 9 June 1721, and area of 90 acres; the last and the more important, on 29 March 1727, of an area of about 250 acres.
One notes the presence of the officer in several civil documents in Canada, whether he appears as a godfather or as a witness. Thus, on 20 April 1705 at Laprairie, we see him at the marriage of his brother-in-law, Pierre Roy, with Angelique Faye. And at the marriage of Rene Bourassa with Agnes Gagne on 23 October 1710 at Laprairie.
He would know the joy of holding at the baptismal font his grandson, Rene-Clement, child of Catherine, and his granddaughter, Elizabeth, child of Pierre. The ancestor will also be the godfather of numerous children of the area colonists, to whom he will sometimes give his name: Clement Lafontaine, son of Jean and Madeleine Roy, baptised on 30 August 1711; Clement Hardy, son of Michel and Judith Laverdure on 15 May 1723.
After more than fifty years in the service of his king and for the glory of France in this distant colony, the first Leriger in Canada gently passed away in the peace of the Lord in December 1742. Surrounded by children of his children, in this immense and rich country of America, he could only foresee a future filled with promises. This venerable patriarch bequeathed to his descendants a heritage of faith, of honor and of culture.
“The year one thousand seven hundred and forty two, the seventh day of December, I the undersigned priest have buried in the cemetery of this parish the body of Clement Lerige, Squire, Sieur de la Plante, former Lieutenant of troops, deceased the evening before, at the age of eighty or thereabouts in Communion with our Holy Mother Church and furnished with the sacraments; in the presence of Etienne Bariteau and Andre Banlier who declared that they could not sign their names to this inquiry.” Jacques Desligneris Priest”.
The companion of his life, Marie Roy, lived on for numerous years. She was buried on 2 January 1758 at Laprairie, also at the age of 80 years.
Clement Lerige de La Plante, the first Canadian ancestor of this family, married Marie Roy, 8 September 1700 at Laprairie. From this union were born thirteen children; eleven sons and two daughters. Here are a few notes on this second generation.
