They have one daughter born to them, Marie Anne Chotart, on 29 June 1701, baptized on the 30th in Lachine, the priest incorrectly entering her mother's name as Marie Godin (grandmother's name).^[7]; Marie Anne Chotart on her marriage with Antoine Perrein on 25 June 1720 in Montréal (ND), had her mother listed as Marie Catherine Fortin, another clerical error, Catherine being the grandmother's given name.^[8]

Notes

PRDH should be rechecked as to what they say about her, they have a tendency to list any name a person got given, whether erroneously or not, without specifying what was the actual case of the matter.
