Biography

AKA M.-Jeanne Degerlais-Jarlais-Dit-St-Amand
There appears to have been a marriage contract done, although it is both undated and unsigned, considered to be in the year 1735 before notary Pierre Petit. It could have been a proposed contract which was never ratified, or the record of a prior lost contract. Some marriage contracts got done after the marriage to settle possible later issues.
