Benoit-139 and Benoit-615 appear to represent the same person because: Both of these individuals represent Claude Benoit, husband of Marie Jeanne Hebert. Son of Martin Benoit and Marie Chaussegros. He died before November 1743 because he was described as decreased at the marriage of his son Godefroi Benoit on November 18, 1743 to Madeleine Babin. Thank you
