Notes - Jean Blanchard, the actual progenitor of the Blanchards of Acadia, born in France in c1611, was one of the earliest settlers in the colony. At age 31, he married 21-year-old Radégonde Lambert at Port-Royal in c1642. Radegonde gave Jean six children, including two sons who created their own families. Their daughters married into the Gaudet, Guérin, and Richard dit Sansoucy families. Radegonde died at Port-Royal in the 1670s or 1680s, leaving Jean a widower. He never remarried. He died at Port-Royal on his homestead next to the fort in the early 1690s; he was over 80 years old.

In 1671 Jean Blanchard, age 60 was living in Port Royal with his wife, Radegonde LAMBERT and their unmarried children Guillaume 21, Bernard 18, Marie 15. At that time they owned 12 cattle and 9 sheep. (Source: Acadian Census 1671).
An error in Jean LeBlanc's deposition at Belle-Ile-en-Mer led Rameau de Saint-Pere to add a non-existent generation to the genealogy of the Blanchards. LeBlanc declared that the great-grandparents of his wife Francoise Blanchard were Guillaume Blanchard and Huguette Poirier, rather than Jean Blanchard and Radegonde Lambert, having confused the names of Martin Blanchard's brother and sister-in-law with those of this father and mother. Without proof, Rameau affirmed that Guillaume and Huguette had to be Martin Blanchard's grandparents, but no document is currently known that provides the names of Jean Blanchard's parents.
2 Dec 1705: Expropriation of a lot "adjoining the side of the old fort," and belonging to Jean Blanchard, for the extension of the fort at Port Royal. As Jean Blanchard had already been dead for over twelve years, one must suppose that his heirs were the actual owners of this land in 1705.?
Sixteen years or so later Jean and Radegonde were still living in Port Royal. (1686 census).
