The King's Daughters or "Filles du roi" were a group of approximately 800 young French women who immigrated to New France between 1663 and 1673 as part of a program by Louis XIV to furnish brides for the male immigrants. They were usually between the age of 12 and 25, had to supply a letter of reference from their parish priest and were provided a dowry by the King. The King also paid for their transport to New France. Most of the women were commoners of humble birth, were held to very high standards and were required to be physically fit enough to survive the hard work demanded of immigrants to the fledgling colony. She came to the New World via the "Le St. Jean Baptiste" and arrived in Québec on 30 June 1669. There were 149 "Filles du Roy" otherwise known as "King's Daughters" on the ship.¹⁹⁹⁵ She died on 2 December 1718 at the age of 72 in Québec (Québec Province), Canada.¹⁷⁷⁰ Marie was buried on 2 December 1718 in Québec (Québec Province), Canada.^1385,1715
