  • Notes 
    • In 1686, the steward of the "Nouvelle France," Mr. de Meules, orders a new general census of Acadia, where we can read: "Antoine Hebert-72 years; Genevieve Lefranc-80 years; Jehan Hebert-32 years; Doucet Anne-22 years; Jacques-9 years; Pierre-7 years; Jehan-5 years, Jehanne-3 years; and Joseph-2 months old. Jehan (Jean) married Anne Doucet in 1676 in Port-Royal and lived at that time with his parents. After the death of his father in October, 1687, Jehan and his family leave to settle in the parish of Grand-Pre where they cultivate their land, putting up kikes to prevent the high tides from flooding their low lands. He is a prosperous settler and has more than 10 children. In 1703, he still has with him 6 boys and 4 girls. It is said that the 3 boys are old enough to bear arms since they were at war with England. The boy's names are Jacques (26 years), Rene (14 years), and Christophe (12 years). They participate in the battle of July 2, 1704 and help repel the 1300 Englishmen who landed at Port-Royal.


    • Both of Antoine's sons survived childhood, but only the second one married. Jean le jeune married Marie-Anne, daughter of Pierre Doucet and Henriette Pelletret, at Port-Royal in c1676. Between 1677 and the early 1700s, Marie-Anne gave Jean le jeune 14 children, eight sons and six daughters. Members of the family were counted at Minas in the early 1690s and at Chignecto in 1713. Jean le jeune died probably at Minas in c1707, in his 50s. Marie-Anne died at Grand-Pré in November 1710. Four of her and Jean le jeune's daughters married into the LeBlanc, Boudrot, and Saulnier families. Seven of Jean le jeune's sons also created their own families, and three of them married sisters:
