They had two children, both born at Port-Royal: Marie-Josèphe in c1698, and Jean in c1700.

Her daughter Marie-Josephe Chenet dit La Garenne married Charles Charpentier at Port-Toulouse in c1723, and, in August 1739, remarried to Jean-François, son of Jean Morel and François Briand of St-Malo, France, at St-Pierre-du-Nord, the church for Havre-St-Pierre on Île St-Jean, today's Prince Edward Island.
