Hi, Yvon, where did this birth year come from? In Whites entry for him he does not give a birth date or year. IF he was the one married to Marie in the 1708 census, then he was 22 at that time, giving a 1686 birth year. The only date references we have are for his children, Gabriel born in 1727, Anne old enough to be a godparent in 1728 when Gabriel was baptised, and Clere born in 1733.

Also if Jean and Marie were married in 1708, then it is a long time before children came in 1726. Highly unusual. Possibly her birth could be given as after 1708 to be more accurate. Best wishes, Cindy Bourque Cooper, co-leader, Acadians Project
