Notes - Anne was the second child in a family of twelve children. Her father Jean Préjean was in his early 30's when he married Andrée Savoye. They were listed with their two-year old Marie in the 1686 census. At that time Jean could not have been wed for very long since he is 35 years old and his wife Andrée is only 21.
We do not know much of the origins of Jean Préjean but he is called Le Breton which would lead us to believe that he is from the region of Brittany in France.
In the 1701 census, Jean Préjean le Breton and his wife Andrée Savoie were said to own 1 gun, 16 cattle, 10 sheeps, 12 hogs and 3 arpents. By that time, they have at least 7 children. Pierre -12, Jean-10, Francois-8, Joseph-5, Marie-17, Anne-14 & Magdeleine - 3 [1]
