Note: Her father is often confused in unsourced family trees with Isaac Petitpas.
Jeanne Pesseley was born around 1638. It is not known if she was born in France or Port-Royal. Her parents were Isaac Pesseley and Barbe Bajolet. [1]
On April 1, 1636, her father Isaac sailed on the Saint-Jehan towards Acadia. He appeared on the ship's roster: "Isac Pesselin de Champagne". [2] However, unlike some others listed, no wife or children are on the passenger list. It is not known exactly when Barbe and their children joined him in Acadia. Between about 1630 and 1645, the couple had eight children: Etienne, Marguerite, Perrette, Jeanne, Charlotte, Henriette, Gilles, and Marie who were named in a notarized record by Cherbonnier in La Rochelle in 1646. [1] Etienne, Marguerite and Perrette were born at Piney (Champagne) France by 1634. Stephen White provides no specific birth dates or locations for the remaining children born between about 1638 and about 1645.
