Excerpt from Cadillac's Village, or Detroit Under Cadillac: With List of Property Owners and a History of the Settlement, 1701 to 1710
Cadillac asserts, in one of his early letters, that no one had ever visited this part of the country before. He certainly would not have made such a statement if two men were then living there, for he knew these men, as they were both members of his colony. Pierre Roy married an In dian woman. I take it for granted that he married her within a short time after first meeting her and that he brought her to the village as soon as they were married. Their first child' was baptized on April 27, 1704, about three years after the village was founded.
