Nicolas Coleson (or Colson) was from Paris. Research by Guy Perron has named 2 uncles for him who were prominent, one was the sieur Lesage, apothecary to the king, tne other being sieur Thevenin, surgeon for the king.
With those clues, anybody among my French friends who thinks they can find some parentage for Nicolas would be very much appreciated. The source is on the profile, Guy Perron's blog # 279.
