Book excerpt: Pierre Couc dit Lafleur, the head of a fur trade and merchant family, was a soldier when he arrived in Quebec. Pierre was about age 30 when he married Marie Mitequamigoukoue in 1657 and began his Métis Family in the Yamaska region of Quebec. They had at least seven children. Two of those children, Louis and Elisabeth, took the surname Montour. Notable descendants of Pierre Couc are Andre Longtain (b. 1794-d. 1879) who married Nancy Okanogan; Jean Baptiste Boyer (b. 1801-d. 1882) who married first Lizette Mainville and second to Elise Allard; and Nicholas Montour (b. c1756-d. 18) who married Genevieve Wills and also had children with an unidentified Indian woman or Indian women.
