Notes
Marriage
Jean and Jeanne were never officially married, by French standards. It may have been a brief liaison, or it may have been a longer standing union according to native customs. Although Catholic records refer to his daughter by Jeanne as illegitimate, he recognized her equally with his other children.Endnotes
