Her late father Squire Isaac Francois had been the Captain of a company of light horse cavalry in France, obviously a nobleman. Her mother was named Esther Paigne. Marie-Madeleine was born in Lorraine, about 1633."

Marie Madeleine LeFrancoise
From nantibo.philgay.qc.ca/ gmf/ pafn01.htm#6316
Madeleine LeFrançois est une orpheline et son père, Isaac, avait été capitaine d'une compagnie de chevaux-légers, sa mère s'appelait Esther Paigne. Les chevaux-légers étaient un corps de cavalerie chargé de la garde du roi. Après la mort de Guillaume Thibault, son époux, M.-Madeleine Lefrançois a probablement vécu chez l'un de ses enfants jusqu'au jour ou elle fit la connaissance de François Fafard, veuf et père de 7 enfants qui demeurait à Batiscan. Comme sa demi-soeur Françoise Fafard était résidente de la cöte de Beaupré, il est probable que c'est en allant la visiter que François Fafard rencontra Madeleine Le François. Quoi qu'il en soit, ils décidèrent de s'épouser et c'est aussi que l'épouse de Guillaume Thibault, laissant toute sa famille sur la côte de Beaupré, s'en alla vivre à Batiscan avec son nouvel époux. Le mariage fut célébré le 8 avril 1696 à Château-Richer..
