In 1717, after Francoise died, Jean l'âiné was recorded at Port-Toulouse, Île Royale, now Cape Breton Island, having gone there probably to escape British authority in Nova Scotia, but he returned soon afterwards to Port-Royal, where he remarried to Catherine-Josèphe, daughter of Francois Lejeune, at Port-Royal in January 1720 and fathered a twentieth child, a daughter who was born in November 1720, a week after Jean l'âiné was buried at Port-Royal. She married into the Daniel family at Grand-Pré.
