Jean Baptiste Lefebvre des Hayes

Audited 24 Jul 2026, REVISED 30 Jul 2026 - this note supersedes the 24 Jul text, which was stored truncated at exactly 256 characters and broke off mid-number. Junction #2, Saint-Domingue. Audited against GHC 2013 art.23 (B. and P. Rossignol, "LEFEBVRE de LA PAQUERIE (Saint-Domingue, Bretagne, Provence)", Genealogie et Histoire de la Caraibe; local copy ancestry/sources/ghc-2013-art23-lefebvre-de-la-paquerie.pdf), which is built from ANOM Colonies E 271, the parish registers and the 1765 and 1788 succession papers, plus the ANOM registers directly. CONFIRMED: identity as Jean Baptiste Lefebvre Deshayes, sieur de la Chaussee; career - enseigne then lieutenant of the marine troops at Saint-Domingue 1702-1720, aide-major of Fort Saint-Louis (27 Jan 1720 memoire to the marquis de Sorel, Colonies E 271), later commandant of the Aquin quarter, with a 1720 Aquin census entry for his household; wife Renee Rose Le Pays, married mid-1718, daughter of the late Jean Le Pays, "capitaine flibustier", and the late Renee Rose Rossignol - b. 20 Oct 1705 Saint-Louis-du-Sud, an orphan heiress married at 13 who bore 20 children of whom 11 survived, d. 5 and buried 6 Mar 1760 Torbeck, "53 ans", in the church; his own death 5 Sep 1765 at Torbeck, at the home of his son-in-law Georges Damien de La Fresseliere, buried in the church on the gospel side. PARENTS: Henry Lefebvre and Genevieve Vignon of Paris, parish Saint-Eustache - documented NOT from his own baptism but from his brother Louis's marriage record of 19 Mar 1719 at Leogane, which names them. UNPROVEN, and deliberately left as a soft date: the exact birth 7 Mar 1689 at Paris Saint-Eustache. GHC prints the "?" itself and footnotes "Nous ne retrouvons pas la source de cette date de bapteme"; the tree's value was softened to "abt 7 Mar 1689" on 25 Jul 2026 and carries an unsourced note. ALSO UNPROVEN: the wife-surname suffix "du Plessis-Villeneuve" carried by the tree is NOT in GHC - she is simply LE PAYS. The sons used the branch names Duplessis and Le Pays, and an 1806 record garbles her as "Le Pays de la Riboissiere"; treat the suffix as an unproven embellishment, possibly a link invented to the poet Rene Le Pays, sieur du Plessis-Villeneuve. HE IS A PEDIGREE COLLAPSE POINT: he and Renee Rose Le Pays each appear TWICE in Owen's ancestry - Ahnentafel 710/711 via the Gentillot path and 1414/1415 via the Boyer path. CORRECTION to the old follow-up list, noted 27 Jul 2026: GHC attributes his post-mortem inventory of 3 Oct 1788 to Me Daudin de Bellair at Aquin, but Daudin de Bellair's notarial minutes END IN 1766, so the 1788 inventory is with a different notary and will not be found under his name.
