Biography

Jacques (LeNeuf) Leneuf de la Poterie lived
in Canada, Nouvelle-France.

Jacques (LeNeuf) Leneuf de la Poterie is Notable.

"Habitat.org: 'The Le Neuf siblings--Michel Le Neuf, sieur du Hérisson; Jacques Le Neuf, sieur de la Poterie; and Marie Le Neuf (who was married Jean Godefroy de Lintot)--came with their mother Jeanne Le Marchand, children, and Le Gardeur kinsman to New France in 1636. They were the regarded as the first French nobles to settle permanently in Canada. The Le Neufs and Le Gardeurs became an influential kinship group in colonial New France. The Le Neuf brothers played an important role in colonial New France and their lives are documented in the Dictionary of Canadian Biography... Although the Le Neufs were an important family in the history of New France, nobody now carries the surname Le Neuf in North America. They did leave behind descendants in Canada and the United States through female Le Neuf ancestresses. Also, after the fall of New France, some of the male Canadian Le Neufs returned to France and presumably have descendants there.'" -John P. DuLong" ^[1]
