Nicolas
II, married the first time in 1706 or 1707(?) to Marie-Anne Perrot
(said Lagorce) and a second time in 1721 to Marie-Thérêse Groleau and
had a descendance of eleven children; Nicolas III, Paul I,
Marie-Josephte, Jean-François, Jean-Baptiste, Joseph, Marie-Anne, Louis,
Joseph-Marie, Pierre and François.
In
1720, Marie-Anne dies while all the children are still under age.
Nicolas remarries the following year with Marie-Thérèse Groleau. New
ordeals await Nicolas 11. In 1725, Marie Thérèse also dies leaving 3
other children under age.
Worn
away by hard work involving the clearing of land for tillage and also
by the death of his two wifes, Nicolas is struck by paralysis which
makes him loose gradually the use of his faculties.
Noticing
what is happening, his brother-in-law, Jean-François Naud, Geneviève?s
husband, or if you wish Nicolas?sister found necessary to impose a
guardianship so he addressed Monseigneur (Lord) Hocquart intendant on
June 23, 1725 along the following terms:
To Monseigneur (Lord) the intendant,
Jan-François
Naud, resident of the Deschambault Seigneury humbly request in the name
of and as tutor of the children of Nicolas Paquin from the same
location and who married the late Marie-Anne Perrot, his first wife, and
remarried to Marie-Thérèse Groleau whom also died some 7 to 8 months
after. I the above applicant request that an inventory of the goods be
made to establish what the applicant can keep and what the children are
untitled to because the said Paquin is crippled and his mind is insane
for he cannot do anything and his brother-in-law, Pierre Groleau,
brother of the late Marie-Thérèse Groleau and at the same time husband
of Marie-Anne Paquin wishes to pursue the inventory of goods. This is
why Monseigneur you are hereby requested to order that the inventory be
made in accordance with the present request that Pierre Groleau as
brother of the said Thérèse Groleau and uncle of the said children
descending from the second marriage which took place from the said
Paquin and the late Groleau will have the diligence of making a new
inventory of the common goods which belonged to Paquin and the said
Groleau, immediately so that the person making the request may know and
see what belongs to the minors and be fair and just to everyone
concerned?

Groleau be made along with other parents on the father's side and
mother's side of the minor children issued from the marriage
Paquin-Groleau to elect a tutor and a replacement tutor to efficiently

Thus ended the short life of Nicholas II who, in spite of all his
misfortunes, will leave a numerous posterity of which most of the Paquin
are descendants.
A few years
later, that is in 1731, François Naud writes again to Intendant Hocquart
to offer his resignation as tutor of the minor children of the late
Nicolas and the late wife Marie-Anne Perrot, and also request that
procedures be made to find him a replacement.
The
Intendant gave the burden to the parish priest of Deschambault Mr Ménage
to set up an assembly of the relatives to investigate the reasons of
the resignation and choose or elect a successor. Reasons being
legitimate, deliberations were made and by vote the assembly chose
Jean-Baptiste , Nicolas II's brother. Jean-Baptiste was 28 years old and
had been recently married to Marguerite Chapelain from the Chevrotière
Seigneury. The latter accepted as recognition for his brother's services
provided to him and also due to pity he had for the orphans. This was
on June 23, 1731.
