Notes

Parentage sort-out

Jetté lists Isaac Joseph Garnier as having remarried by contract of 3 October 1717 (Laneuville) with Marie Angélique Matte, who would be the godmother of Marie Anne Grenier listed above.^[10] He does not list a son named Pierre for Isaac Joseph and his wife Marie Houde. He lists Pierre married with Marie Anne Matte in 1729 as son of Claude Garnier and Marie Madeleine Coquin, born and baptised 17 Jan 1710 in Neuville^[10] He gives the further precision on Pierre's listing that this is according to T. (Tanguay) (pg 469) and that Pierre's marriage would have been done around 1728 in Cap-Santé.

Tanguay for his part lists the name Garnier under Grenier (Vol 4).^[11] He has no son named Pierre for Isaac Joseph (pg 363), and lists Pierre under Claude Grenier's second marriage with Marie Madeleine Coquin (dite Latourelle) (pg 364). Doesn't have all the children found for Pierre (pg 366) (Jetté stops in 1730)

Joseph Isaac has a son named Gervais, born in 1689. Gervais Grinier is present at the marriage of Marie Anne in 1753, cited her uncle^[2]. Claude has no son named Gervais. QED, Pierre was son of Joseph Isaac, not of Claude.
