On 4 March 1708, the cream of Quebec society gathered to witness the drawing up of the marriage contract between Jean-François and Catherine Martin de Lino, whose wedding had been arranged to take place on the 20th of that month. Over 100 persons signed the document, including the governor, the two intendants, the senior councillors. Quebec provost court officials, treasurers and senior officers of the colonial regular troops, and friends and relatives. This impressive assembly provides some indication of the prestige which the Hazeur and Martin de Lino families enjoyed in the colony.
