Child(ren):
Arsenault says (Vol 2, page 678, FN 89) he was probably the nephew of
Pierre Martin (which see). "Pierre Martin, laborer, with his wife and a
baby, departed from Bourgueil (Bourgueil), Indre-et-Loire, arrived at
Chinon, departed the first of April 1636 from La Rochelle with six
residents of Chinon and 24 of Bourgueil, to go to work ; in New France"
(Nova Francia, 1926, p 177). Presumably one of the six or 24 was
Barnabe's father, Robert. In a document written in 1985, Stephen White
characterized Barnabe as a ploughman.
In the 1678 census, he is living with Jeanne Pelletre on six acres with
four beasts, two boys ages 7 (Rene) and eight months (born in 1671 and
1678) and four girls ages 10, 6, 4, and 2 (born in 1668, 1672, 1674, and
1676, respectively).
