Michel was born in 1635 at Andilly L'Marais, La Rochelle, Aunis, France; the son of Clement Bouchard and Louise Brillard. A younger brother Nicolas also settled in Quebec, marrying Anne Roy.
Michel and Marie would have eight children. There is a funny story about Marie Trotin. In 1667, she was charged with the assault and battery of Nicolas Huot dit Saint-Laurent, Sergent de Beaupre. Apparently she and three other women were accused of spanking the man. All were found guilty and had to make a public apology on the steps of the Chateau-Richer church, as well as make an "offering" to the shrine at
Sainte-Anne-de-Beaupre.
