"Older son Jacques dit Jacob, born in c1648, married Marguerite, daughter of Francois Gautrot, at Port-Royal in c1670. They had 14 children, including nine sons who married into the Le Borgne de Bélisle, Comeau, Doiron, Petitpas, Amireau dit Tourangeau, Bourgeois, Guilbeau, Blanchard, Bernard dit Renochet, Barrieau, Bastarache, Pitre, and Doucet families. Three of their daughters married into the Granger, Doucet, and Richard dit Beaupré families. Jacques dit Jacob and his family lived for a time at Cobeguit, but he returned to Port-Royal. Jacques dit Jacob died at Port-Royal in October 1703, in his mid-50s. Some of his descendants moved to Île St.-Jean, today's Prince Edward Island, probably to escape British authority in Nova Scotia.
