Some Descendants of Jean de la Fontaine
Seventh Generation
8. Jacques de la Fontaine 1 (Jean
, Gilles , Arthur , Jean , Guy
, Jean ) was born in 1549 in Maine Prov., FRA. He died in 1633 in Rochelle, Poitou Prov., FRA.
Place of birth is given in book on the Fontaine's as "while at court" meaning Jacques was born while his father was at court--whether the
family was living at court and thus Jacques was born wherever the court was at this time, I am not sure at this point.
Left property at Rochelle, amounting to 9,000 livre. Married twice and had several children, but only three lived to be marriageable, two daughters
and one son. After the death of his first wife, Jacques remarried but had no additional children. It would have been much better for him to have
remained a widower, for his second wife was a wicked woman who became tired of him and tried to poison him. Though she did not succeed, the offense
became too notorious to be hushed up. She was taken to prison, tried, and condemned to death.
