    Shows she had seven children at the time of her husband's death.

  • Notes  Born:
    • The source (below) from The Brides of La Baleine is wrong because she was not one of the brides. There is a Marie Marguerite Lejeune who married Charles Vincent in Old Biloxi in 1721, and another Marguerite Lejeune who married Antoine Delatte in New Orleans in 1728. The book, The Brides of La Baleine deduces this (wrongly IMO) to be the same Marguerite Lejeune despite the names of the fathers to be the same (Claude) the names of the mothers in the birth record are different (Marianne LE SUEUR and Cristine COLSON, respectively).

      Other websites have her date of birth listed between 1700 and 1712, but nothing definitive.
