Biography

Jean Neau (aka "Nault") was born in 1609 in the village of Brie-sous-Matha, in the Saintonge Province, now the Charente-maritime departement, Nouvelle Aquitaine region, France.

Jean Neau married Perrine Martin at l'Eglise Saint Pierre, in Brie sous Matha, France, on 27 April 1643. They had six children, namely

1. Pierre Janeau Neau (aka Nault), dit "Labrie" who was christened on 4 August 1655 at l'Eglise Saint Pierre, in Brie sous Matha, France and who eventually migrated to Canada.

"The father [of Pierre] Jean NEAU, son of Pierre Neau and Anne Joziau, had been baptized on May 6, 1609 in the Saint-Pierre church and the mother, Perrine Martin, daughter of Mathurin Martin and Suzanne Bigeon, had also been baptized [there] on September 12, 1613. The same church had also seen the marriage of the NEAU-Martin couple on April 27, 1643 as well as the baptism of their six children: Jean (February 2nd, 1644), Marie (March 2nd, 1646), Michel (January 19, 1648), Jeanne (January 28, 1653), Pierre (August 4, 1655) and Matheline (January 7, 1657)." ^[5]

"Hence, Pierre NEAU was the fifth of six children. Although his exact date of birth is not mentioned in the records of the Saint-Pierre parish, one could reasonably assessed that he was born the very day of his baptism, August 4, 1655."

Son, Pierre Janeau Neau, was a royal Marine (naval) soldier in the La Valliere Company. He was stationed in Quebec, La Nouvelle France, after 1685. He married Marie-Thérèse Garand on 6 October 1692 at St-Laurent, Île-d'Orléans, Quebec, Nouvelle France. He died before 7 July 1720, in Quebec [1718 at age 63]. ^[6]

Notes about Pierre Janeau Nault, dit Labrie & family:^[7]

"À son mariage en Nouvelle-France, sa mère porte le nom de Marie Martine. Son père est baptisé à Brie-sous-Matha (St-Pierre) le 06-05-1609. Deux frères et trois sœurs sont baptisés à Brie-sous-Matha (St-Pierre) : Marie, le 04-03-1646 ; Michel et Matheline, des jumeaux le 26-01-1648 ; Jean, le 04-02-1644 et Jeanne, le 28-01-1653."

Translation:

"At his [Pierre's] marriage in Quebec (Nouvelle France), his mother was called "Marie Martine". His father was baptized at Brie-sous-Matha (St. Pierre) on 6 May 1609. [He had] two brothers and three sisters who were baptized at Brie-sous-Matha (St. Pierre): Marie on 4 March 1646; Michel and Martine, twins, on 26 January 1648; Jean on 4 February 1644 and Jeanne on 28 January 1653."

No record has been located that gives the death date for Jean Neau; presumably he died in Brie-sous-Matha, Saintonge Province, France, before 1685.
