  • Notes 
    • Germain, born in c1650, married Madeleine, daughter of Antoine Belliveau and Andrée Guyon, probably at Chignecto in c1673. They had three children, including a son who married into the Mius de Pleinmarais and Thibodeau families. Their daughter married into the Breau family. Germain remarried to Madeleine, another daughter of Abraham Dugas and Marguerite Doucet and sister of brother Charles's wife Anne, probably at Chignecto in c1682. They had 10 children, including two sons who married into the LeBlanc family. Their eight daughters married into the Poirier, Richard dit Lafond and dit Beaupré, Girouard, LeBlanc, and Robichaud dit Prudent families. In 1696, during King William's War, Germain commanded a ship in Pierre Le Moyne, sieur d'Iberville's attack on the New England fort at Pemaquid, Maine. Later that year, Germain confronted Massachusetts Colonel Benjamin Church when the Englishman attacked Chignecto. Germaine died in 1711, in his early 60s, from the rigors of being held hostage by British Colonel Samuel Vetch in the dungeon at Port-Royal during Queen Anne's War.
