Notes |
- René's second son François, born at Port-Royal in c1680 (Bona Arsenault says c1682), married Jeanne, daughter of Jean Hébert and Marie-Anne Doucet, in c1703, probably at Minas, and settled there. Between 1703 and 1729, Jeanne gave François a dozen children, six sons and six daughters. The British deported members of the family to Massachusetts in the fall of 1755. Colonial officials counted François, Jeanne, and their son Jacques le jeune and his family at Braintree in April 1757. They were still in the colony in August 1763. Later in the decade, they followed other exiles in New England to British Canada. François died at St.-Ours on the lower Richelieu in March 1770, in his early 90s. His daughters married into the Landry dit Labbé, Thibodeau, Hébert, Breau, and Cormier families. Five of his six sons also created families of their own.
