Family notes:
• Most likely Antoine had taught his son Jean the “joiner” trade. His father was a good teacher because in time he was a master joiner. Some records refer to him as a master cabinet maker. Only fourteen days after Jeanne gave birth to Marguerite Genevieve, she died; nine children were left without a mother. Jean remarried about a month later. Jean died suddenly in 1756, three years after his father, leaving a large family to the care of his widow.
• Marie was apparently adopted. Her parents are deceased at her wedding, and Nicholas Bellier is identified as her “parent”. He also witnessed the baptism of Marie Radegonde. Her uncle from Liernes attended her wedding and signed “Carre”.
