Unknown Mercier was born around 1624 (based on the year of his marriage), possibly in France, but the exact location is not known. He married Françoise Gaudet around 1644[1][2]
They had one child, Marie Mercier born about 1645[2]
He passed away before 1650 since Françoise remarried that year.
A theory is that Jean Mercier is Françoise Gaudet's unknown husband, but the evidence linking them is quite weak.[3]
La dispense de consanguinité du troisième degré accordée lors du mariage de Claude LeBlanc, petit-fils de Jacques LeBlanc et de Catherine Hébert, avec Judith Benoit, petite-fille de Guillaume LeJuge et de Marie Mercier (Régistre GP 12 février 1738) nous donne la preuve que Marie Mercier était la demi-soeur de Jacques LeBlanc. Ceci confirme que la même Françoise Gaudet a épousé successivement un nommé Mercier et Daniel LeBlanc. (Voir A. Godbout, "Daniel LeBlanc", SGCF, vol V, 1952, p.6-7)
