One of my favorite sites for finding settlers in "La Nouvelle France" is

the
Fichier Origine site maintained by the noted historian Marcel Fournier.

http://www.fichierorigine.com/index.htm

If you enter "Lelievre" in the Surname (Nom de famille) field, the
resulting
list will include both Guillaume and his illegitimate daughter Jeanne. On
Guillaume's page we see that he had married Marie Millet in Honfleur on
Aug.
22, 1640. In the Remarks we find the following note

« Union hors mariage en 1633 avec Judith Riquier, dont naîtra, Jeanne
Lelièvre (pionnière), mariée à Dieppe (St-Rémy), le 00-02-1658 avec Nicolas
Leroy (Louis et Anne Lemaître). »

On Jeanne's page we see that she was born of the extra-marital relationship
of Guillaume with Judith Riquier and baptized in Honfleur on March 22,
1634.
Her father was apparently shown as a widower (veuf) on his marriage record.
Guillaume's parents were Jacques Lelièvre et Antoinette Bougard.

After her marriage to Nicolas Leroy, Jeanne gave birth to 3 boys, Louis,
Nicolas, and Noel who all came over with their parents. Noel's baptism is
not noted, so he may have been born during the voyage. He was shown as age
3
in the 1666 census in New France.
