Antoine Roy, a cooper by trade, is my earliest Roy ancestor who came to the new world. George Desjardins, S.J. in his book Antoine Roy dit Desjardins (1635-1684) et ses descendants Edition du Bien Public, 1970, (Antoine Roy a.k.a. Desjardins (1635-1684) and his Descendants), believed that Antoine came to Canada with the Carignan Regiment as one of the soldiers in the company commanded by Captain Froment in June 1665. Father Desjardins does not further identify the source of the name Desjardins other than to indicate that Antoine Roy was probably the Desjardins soldier in the Froment Company which has not been identified by Regis Roy and Gerard Malchelosse in their book Le Regiment Carignan. Son organisation et son Expedition au Canada (1665-1668). Officiers et soldats qui s'etablirent en Amerique. Ducharme, Montreal, 1925. (The Carignan Regiment. Its Organization and Its Expedition to Canada (1665-1668). Officers and Soldiers Who Established Themselves in America.)

On 20 September 1667, Antoine obtained a land concession from the Jesuits of the Cap-de-la-Madeleine, in their seigneurie (lordship) of Batiscan where he established himself with some of his comrades in arms after the Carignan Regiment returned to France in 1667. Like them, he attempted to clear the land.

A year after acquiring land in Batiscan, he married Marie Major, daughter of Jean Major and Marguerite Le Pele on 11 September, 1668 at Notre Dame de Quebec. Marie Major (or Mazol) probably came to Canada as part of the 97 Filles du Roi which in the summer of 1668 arrived in Quebec. The term Filles du Roi refers to the plan of providing women known as the King's daughters to populate Canada. Homeless girls were taken from charitable institutions, and peasants with too many children contributed daughters as King's daughters. Marie's parents were both dead when she came to Canada in the summer of 1668.

Marie Major was baptized on 26 February 1637 in the parish of St Thomas of Touques, diocese of Lisieux. She died at l'Hotel-Dieu de Quebec on 8 December, 1689. Her father, Jean Major was a recerveur (tax collector) for the Baron of Heuqueville-en-Vexin and Aubeuf-en-Vexin.
