   at Port Royal: Jean GODET 33, Jeanne his wife 21; children by his first marriage: Francoise 13, Jean 12; and by his second marriage: Marie 4, Jeanne 1; 2 guns, with 10 cattle, 17 sheep and 4 hogs. The original 1686 census showed Jean GODET age 33 living without his mother Nicole COLSON and owning 4 arpents of cultivable land with 10 cattle, 17 sheep and 4 hogs instead of 4 cattle, 10 sheep, 17 sheep and 4 hogs as Hebert wrongly transcribed. In the original 1686 census at Port Royal, Colleson was listed as Colson and Gaudet was listed as Godet.
