GanesaNicholas Pelletier marriedJeann de Voissy and they had eight childern.One of them was Francois ,baptized in Quebec 4/5/1637 .Francois married DOROTH'E la Savaugesse.By his marrigae to Doroth'e,francois had entered the Montagnaise tribe . Francois got his indian nickname "Antaya" around 1660 .by his marriage to Doroth'e or his association with the Montagnaise tribe. His marriage to Doroth,e did not result in childern she died in childbirth 1661 at the hospital in Qubec. So while we have an indian name, wedon,t have indian blood from this union .Later in 1661, he married Maguerite Morriseau .I,am one of his descendants. from Pierre Pelletier born 1776 in Quebec.HOPE THIS HELPED YOU.DONNA..
