(a) Estienne le Roux (1588) had son Isaac le Roux (1615-1687) who married Jeanne Bourdon (1634-15 April 1372). Isaac and Jeanne had a son Jean le Roux (1666-1711) - Born on 16 November 1666 on farm Pommegorge in Mer, Loir-et-Cher, Centre, France (It has been mentioned that he was christened on the same day as Gabriel). [1]
(b) Jean le Roux (1593) and Jeanne Chauffourt (1600-1672) had a son Pierre le Roux (1632-1682) who married Anne Bourdon (1639-1672). Pierre le Roux (1632) and Anne had a son Gabriel (Born: 25 July 1667 in Cour-Cheverney, Loir-et-Cher, Centre, France. Christened in Blois, Loir-et-Cher, Centre, France 28 July 1669). [1]
Gabriel’s parents moved to Pommegorge in 1672 where he grows up with Jean le Roux, his nephew. Jean and his nephew Gabriel were very close and often referred to each other as brothers. They left Pommegorge, Mer, Loir-et-Cher, Centre, France on 4 November 1686 and escaped to Delft, Netherlands. On 31 December 1687 they left on the ship Voorschooten[2] to the Cape. [1]

DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Anne by comparing test results with other carriers of her mitochondrial DNA.
However, there are no known mtDNA test-takers in her direct maternal line.
It is likely that these autosomal DNA test-takers will share some percentage of DNA with Anne:
Is this profile and those connected to it under review for accuracy? I am asking as I believe Anne and Pierre are my 8th great grandparents, and also because I have seen conflicting information regarding parents and children when compared to the information contained herein: https://sites.google.com/site/lerouxfamiliebond/stamouers/the-le-roux-family-from-mer
As an example: Jean Bourdon and Claudine Lenoir are documented as Anne Bourdon's parents in the included link.
We know that Anne BOURDON had two brothers, Jehan and Daniel BOURDON. Her marriage contract mentions her parents as Jehan BOURDON and Claudine LENOIR.
In 1669, Daniel BOURDON and Jean BOURDON are witnesses at the burial of Anne LE NOIR and they are listed as her nephews (same thing for Jacques BOURDON, Pierre ROGER and Besnard FOUCHER).
Marie PLET (signature PELET) is a first cousin of Pierre LEROUX junior.
Her mother is either a sister of Pierre LEROUX senior, or a sister of Anne BOURDON.
There is an Alexandre PELET married to a Claude BOURDON around 1659. I think that they are the parents of Marie PELET.
Gabriel BOURDON and Esther AVICE are the parents of Jacques BOURDON, Gabriel BOURDON and Louis BOURDON.
As an example: Jean Bourdon and Claudine Lenoir are documented as Anne Bourdon's parents in the included link.

Anne BOURDON widow of Pierre LE ROUX becomes a Catholic, like many other Protestant inhabitants of Mer.
