The Delahorne/Curtis Family History

Mallet

♂Jean Baptiste Mallet

Born 1691.

Jean Baptiste Mallet (baptized 17 May 1691 at Montréal) was the first of the children baptized to Rene Malet and Marie Lecuyer after their marriage in 1689. He was the seventh great-grand-uncle of Nancy Jane Blanchard (1929–2006), the brother of her seventh great-grandfather Francois Mallet (born 1701).

A second Jean Baptiste

The family came to have two sons who went by the name Jean Baptiste. The younger, baptized Jean Marie in 1707, married at Montréal on 8 January 1731, and the register wrote his name as Jean Baptiste Mallet. Among the witnesses the same register names “Jean baptiste mallet son frere”: the elder Jean Baptiste, then about 39.

Detroit

A Jean Baptiste Mallet, of Montréal, married Marie Anne Bienvenu at Ste-Anne in Detroit on 11 June 1741. The index of the act gives no age and no marital status, so it cannot be said whether the groom was the elder Jean Baptiste or his younger brother. The records name no death for either man.

Notes

Which Jean Baptiste?

A Jean Baptiste Mallet also appears among the witnesses at a wedding in 1742 and at Gabriel’s wedding at Lachine in 1725; the index does not say which brother is meant. FamilySearch gives a Jean Baptiste of 1691 a death in 1748, which no record in this tree confirms.
