Nicolas was the son of Jean Maheu and Marie Auvry. He was married while still a minor to Charlotte Hébert by contract dated 27 October 1583 at Paris. At about the same time, his widowed mother became the second wife of Charlotte’s father Nicolas Hébert. The close ties between the Maheu and Hébert families seems to have resulted in Charlotte’s younger siblings Louis (the future immigrant) and sister Marie coming under the guidance of the married couple while they were still minors and their father was experiencing his own financial difficulties, and ultimately his death in 1600.[1]

The dates previously shown for Nicolas’ birth and death were clearly erroneous. If he was a minor when the marriage contract of 1583 was drawn up he could not have been born before 1558. Research conducted on the Hébert family notes Nicolas’ activities connected to his wife’s family the Hébert as late as June 1602, the point at which the author leaves off following him. Regrettably neither his eventual fate or children are mentioned in this article. The corrected dates for Nicolas do allow the removed son René to be re-connected (supported by other sources noted in that profile).
