On Oct 5, 1744, he married Marie-Francoise Parant in Pointe-Claire in Quebec at the age of 24.
He thus belongs to the first generation of Bellefeuille to be born on Canadian soil.
Interestingly, the near-homonym of "Poiriau" is "Parant".

Marie Francoise Parant's father was named Guillaume, and her mother was Francoise Roy.
Her father Guillaume was born on August 31, 1693 in Montreal. Her mother was born in 1695.
They married on February 5, 1720 in Lachine, Quebec. He was then 27 and she was about 25.
He is the brother of Pierre Parant, who is also one of my ancestors. Pierre married Marie-Anne Seguin on November 3, 1723 in Montreal, Quebec. He was born August 18, 1700, and thus is 7 years younger than Guillaume. Pierre was thus Marie-Francoise's uncle.

Jean was named after his father; his mother was Anne Brunet. They lived in St-Julien L'Ars, Poitiers, Poitou in France.
For info on the ancestors of Francois Roy-Lapensee and Marie Cecire, please contact this site. There is too much info to add at the moment.
Her name is also recorded to be Cecyre, not uncommon since the letter "i" had earlier in French history often been written as a "y".
