Jehan de FOREST, son of Melchior de Forest of Avesne and his wife Catherine du Fosset of Mons, was born in Avesnes, on the French side of the present Belgian border.  When his widowed mother listed her children in 1572, she listed Jehan third.  If he was her third child, born six or seven years after her marriage in 1533, he was born about 1540.  [Jehan is an older form of the French spelling of Jean, closer to the English John or Dutch Johannes, variant forms of the same name.]
Jehan is said to have married Anne Maillard on 5 June 1570 and to have been the first Protestant in the DEFOREST family, but the source of thse statements is not known. ; Anne was the daughter of Michel Maillard, mayor of Felleries, a village near Avesnes.  Jehan and Anne seem to have lived at Avesnes when their children were born, but they were living in Sédan in 1601 and moved to Berghen op Zoom in Holland shortly thereafter, leaving the family business in France to their children:  Melchior was in Lille in 1601, Gérard in Avesnes, and Jesse in Sédan.  It is not known how long Jehan and Anne lived in Berghen op Zoom, but Anne Maillard transferred her church membership to Leyden, Holland, from Bergues [possibly a French spelling of Berghen] on 1 Feb 1603;  Jehan transferred his membership from Berghen op Zoom to Leyden just over a month later, on 29 March 1603.
However, Jehan and Anne did not stay in Leydon long. ; By 20 September 1604, Anne Maillard had been received a member of the Walloon Church of Amsterdam and once again Jehan [now called Jan] followed a little over a month later, on 25 November 1604.  Their daughter Anne was betrothed in Amsterdam on 21 October 1606 and she stated at that time that she had been living in Amsterdam for five years.  By the time she was married on 24 January 1607 in Amsterdam, her father seems to have returned to Berghen op Zoom.  It is possible that Jehan had died by the time of his daughter's marriage since the certificate of consent was not signed by him but by the minister at Vosmeer, near Berghen op Zoom.
Anne Maillard stayed in Amsterdam from 1604 until her death in 1640. When her son Gérard made a will in 1633, he described his mother as living at Amsterdam.  According to the death records of the Walloon Church at Amsterdam, she was buried on 21 April 1640 at Amsterdam.
