Jean  COMEAU

Jean Comeau
'Jean l'âiné, born in c1656, married first to Francoise, daughter of Etienne Hébert, who gave him 19 children, including seven sons who married into the Bézier dit Joan dit Larivière, Forest, Levron, Thibodeau, Soulard, Bertrand, and Girouard families. Seven of their daughters married into the Girouard, D'Amours de Chauffours, Richard, Soulard, Trahan, Melanson, and Gisé dit Des Rosiers families. In 1717, after Francoise died, Jean l'âiné was recorded at Port-Toulouse, Île Royale, now Cape Breton Island, having gone there probably to escape British authority in Nova Scotia, but he returned soon afterwards to Port-Royal, where he remarried to Catherine-Josèphe, daughter of Francois Lejeune, at Port-Royal in January 1720 and fathered a twentieth child, a daughter who was born in November 1720, a week after Jean l'âiné was buried at Port-Royal. She married into the Daniel family at Grand-Pré. '
