1st Wife: Oliva LeGare (née Mathieu)

Children: Nicolas LeGare, Mathias LeGare br/>

2nd Wife: Mademoiselle LeGare (born La Prairie) Daughter: Marie Ann LaGare

Lateral Community: Jean Baptiste LADNER married Marie Louse Fisseau, dtr of Nicolas Fisseau (and Rootsweb post founds stated "of descent" from Jean La Lancette who came over on the vessel, La Millippe on the 16th of January in the year of 1719. from Canton Grisons in Switzerland,) Marie hailed from the Villenueve La Gareen, currently the 80 Blvd Charles de Gualle areaa of Paris; her parents were Nicolas Fisseau & Marianne Legare' de La Garenne who settled in Mobile. I am positing that Marianne, Marie's mom, was a Bruxellles/Brussels transplant and likely the descendant of Louis the 14th Jeweller.
