Notes |
- The Vivien Jean family was from the parish of St-Vivien d'Ecoyeux. More than half-a-score Frenchmen named Jean immigrated to New France and were married there; three more lived in the Saint Lawrence valley without doing so. Among the more important forbears were the four sons of Vivien Jean, of Petit F?tilly, in Aunis. He was a master blacksmith at Ecoyeux, a place not far from Saint-Jean-d'Ang?ly. He married Suzanne H?rault at La Rochelle c.1640. They had eight children, four boys and four girls. Whereas the four latter stayed in France, the four boys immigrated to New France. [1]
