Research Notes

Note on Parents: Jean Joubert (1641-1728) and Madeleine Têtu (1641-1703) were listed as parents of Pierre, but this is not possible. Madeleine died at age 62, over 120 years before Pierre's birth. They have been removed. Smith-40964 13:36, 12 December 2015 (EST)

Note on Birth: The location for his birth as "St Hilaire de Soulanges, Chalons Sur Marne, Champagne, France" is unsourced, but left on the profile in hopes that it will serve as a clue for finding a birth record. A birth in "Lyon, France" is sourced from the baptism records of grandchildren, but note that while he may have been from there, that doesn't mean he was born there.
