Mouflet, Jean dit Champagne (c. 1645-1689) The son of Michel Mouflet and Sebastienne Girard, from Saint-Catherine de Mortagne-sur-Girarde, region of Santes in Saintonge, he contracted marriage before the notary Becquet on Wednesday August 14, 1669, with Marie Giton, but the contract was not followed thorugh. On Saturday August 17, 1669, before the same notary, he contracted marriage with Anne Dodin, daughter of Jacques Dodin and Marie Gauchere, from the village of Loix on the Ile de Re in Aunis (France), and wed her in Quebec on Monday August 19, 1669. Together, they had 8 children. This soldier of the company of Lord Naurois arrived in Quebec on September 12, 1665 on the ship Le Saint-Sebastin, and was confirmed at quebec on September 24, 1665. He signed in a deed from the notary Latouche on March 11, 1667. But on all the deeds passed before the norary Roy, he declared to have not known who signed them. He obtained a land concession in Sainte-Anne on March 11, 1667 and exchanged it from Jean Boulard the following March 25. April 17 of the same year, he sold the portion of the land that was cleared to Henry Derby dit La Ronce. He was accused among others to have sold alcohol to the savages and was sentenced by the Consiel Soureain, on June 20, 1667 to 50 pounds in fines, to one month in prison and to be exposed for 15 days on a wooden horse with a sign around his neck inscribed "for having traded alcohol to the Savages". He obtained a new land concession from Lord Gauelin in 1669, but on December 31 of the same year, he rented for 3 years the land of Mathieu Rouillard in Batiscan. He obtained a piece of land 3 arpents frontage by ? arpents in depth in this seigneurie in Batiscan on August 5, 1671. In 1680, he found himself in the seigneurie of Villiers. Unstable in nature, he left the Trois-Riviers area for Montreal, where he ws found at Verdun from the beginning of 1681, and he owned a rifle and 9 arpents of valuable land. This last move was not favorable to him, since he was taken prisoner by the Iroquios on August 5, 1689 and held captive. The date of his death is unknown.

Unknown Source: There was a massacre of French settlers at Lachine, near Montreal, Canada, by Iroquois Indians in July 1689. It is unknown whether Jean Mouflet dit Champagne was a victim.
