All three sources list the following five children (one son, four daughters) for Jean Chasteigner and Jeanne de Villers:

1. François Chasteigner, seigneur de Saint-Georges de Rexe
2. Jeanne Chasteigner, femme de Pierre d'Urcot, baron de la Grève
3. Louise Chasteigner, femme de Jonas de Beçay
4. Hélène Chasteigner, femme de David Fourré, seigneur de Beaulieu, etc.
5. Françoise Chasteigner, femme de Jean de Montiers, vicomte de Mérinville en Beauce^[2].

No mention of a son named Etienne or Estienne. Daughters are mentioned, which means a younger married son would have been listed, especially if he had a descendance. Also, a younger son would have been given a fief, or otherwise have gone into orders; he would not have become a notary.
