Biography
Jean was born about 1724. He was the son of Pierre Lejeune and Jeanne Benoit. He passed away in 1759. [1]
In about 1748 he married Marguerite LeBlanc (daughter of Jacques and Catherine Boudrot).[1]
Together they had two children by 1752.[2], altogether having five children before they were deported.
In the fall of 1758, Jean and Marguerite and their five children were sent to St. Malo in the British Deportations of Isle Saint Jean. Marguerite and all five of the children perished en route. Only Jean disembarked on January 23, 1759[3] and he died soon after[1].
