On 8 April 1696, he married Madeleine Lefrancois, daughter of Isaac and Esther Paigue, originally from Metz in Lorraine... Francois had his will drawn up by notary Trotain on 30 May 1707. It appears, according to accounts paid to a surgeon, that he was ill at this time. However, he lived for another four years, being laid to rest on 26 December 1711...'
