Robert Levesque died on September 11, 1699, at Rivière-Ouelle at the age of 57. After Robert's death, Jeanne Chevalier married lord Deschamps in 1701. He died in 1703 and Jeanne passed away on November 24, 1716.

Robert Lévesque looked after the building of the first church of Rivière-Ouelle. He was also one of locals who fought back Phipps' troops at Rivière-Ouelle Point in 1690. During his lifetime, Robert Lévesque built a substantial estate, especially after he purchased three properties from Joseph Renaud in 1692. At the end of his life, he owned two properties of 12 by 42 acres and three other smaller ones. Jeanne, on her part, inherited a piece of land granted by lord Deschamps to her son Nicolas Le Canteur who died in 1692. The Lévesque-Chevalier couple can be considered to be relatively wealthy.

Robert Lévesque and Jeanne Chevalier had six children: five sons and one daughter
