One account says that his wife, two children, and his mother-in-law died on the way to Canada. One of his daughters by his first wife remarried at Île Jesus, near Montréal, in June 1761. Jean-Baptiste died at Mascouche, near Montréal, in July 1770, in his late 60s--five years after his older brothers had died in faraway Louisiana.
