First Generation  Next


1. Arien QUEVILLON, son of Nicolaas QUEVILLON and Marie VAUQUELIN, was born in 1641 in Dieppe, Seine-Maritime , Haute-Normandie, France and died on May 16, 1689 in Pointe-aux-Trembles, Montréal, Québec, Canada aged 48. Another name for Arien was COUVILLON.

Arien QUEVILLON was murdered during Iroquois raid at Pointe-Aux-Trembles in 1689. The Lachine massacre, part of the Beaver Wars, occurred when 1,500 Mohawk (Iroquois) warriors launched a surprise attack against the small (375 inhabitants) settlement of Lachine, New France, at the upper end of Montreal Island, on the morning of August 5, 1689. The attack was precipitated by the growing Iroquois frustration with the increased French incursions into their territory and the ongoing concern about French Marquis de Denonville's attack of 1687, and it was encouraged by the settlers of New England as a way to leverage power against New France during King William's War.

In their attack, the Mohawk warriors destroyed a substantial portion of the Lachine settlement by fire and killed or captured numerous inhabitants, but historic sources have varied widely in their estimates of the number of people killed from 24 to 250.
