Marriage notes:

Jean Doiron may have come to the colony on L'Oranger. In c1671, either in France or at Port-Royal, he married Marie-Anne Canol. They do not appear in the 1678 census. In 1686, de Meulles called him a Douaron and said Jean was age 37 and Marianne 35. They lived at Port-Royal with seven children, six sons and a daughter. De Meulles did not give the size of their farm, but he noted that they owned 1 gun, 7 cattle, and 1 sheep. Marie-Anne gave Jean four more children, including two more sons. In the early 1690s, Jean remarried to Marie, daughter of Guillaume Trahan and Madeleine Brun, and she gave him eight more children, four sons and two daughters--so he fathered 19 children in all, including 11 sons who created families of their own!

They moved from Port-Royal to the Minas in the early 1680s and were counted on Rivière-de-l'Ascension there in 1701. By 1714, they had moved up to Pigiguit. Jean and Marie-Anne had 11 children, including eight sons, seven of whom created families of their own. Their three daughters married into the Hébert, Testard dit Paris, Boisseau, and Vincent families. His middle daughter Marie settled at Louisbourg on Île Royale, today's Cape Breton Island, by the 1720s. '
