About Adrien-Amable Quevillon

    • Adrien Quevillon immigrated from France to Montreal, Québec in 1664, and married Jeanne Hunault at a nearby fishing village. Many descendants changed the surname to Couvillon. Direct descendant, Adrien Amable Couvillon (1751-1812), immigrated from Canada to Pointe Coupee, Louisiana and married Marion Ann Pourceau in 1779.
