About The Gilbert Family

Les familles Dupuis dit Gilbert

Le 8 août 1737, après soixante jours en mer, le navire "Le Jazon";  arrive à Québec avec à son bord les frères Gilbert et Jean Dupuis condamnés à  l'expatriation au Canada pour cause de faux saunage.

À cette époque en France, il y avait des marchandises qui étaient  taxées dont le sel.  Le faux saunage consistait donc, à faire sortir le sel des endroits  où il était le moins cher pour le faire passer dans les régions où le prix était plus élevé.   Cette taxe sur le sel s'appelle la gabelle.  Le Berry, d'où sont originaires Gilbert et Jean,  est un des endroits où la gabelle est la plus élevée tandis que certaines régions alentours en  sont exemptes.  Le faux saunage était assez commun au Berry à cette époque.

Les deux frères en étant à leur deuxième condamnation pour faux  saunage furent donc condamnés à l'exil au Canada.  À leur arrivée, Gilbert et Jean sont  hospitalisés respectivement 23 et 17 jours à l'Hôtel-Dieu de Québec.  Dans le registre des  malades, on écrit qu'ils ont 30 et 29 ans et être originaire de Moulins au Berry
