Name Variation Jeanne de St. Père was also found as Jeanne DeLaunay.2

Baptism 5 February 1627 Jeanne was baptized on 5 February 1627 at Charente-Maritime, France.1

1647 Catherine came to Quebec as a  fille a marier with her sister Jeanne. Catherine contracted to Mathurin Guillet and Jeanne to his brother Pierre.

It appears that her mother came at this time also. Tho' whether she was contracted for a marriage has not yet been established.3,4

Marriage 1648 Jeanne de St. Père married Pierre Guillet dit Lajeunesse, son of François Guillet and Périnne Ménard, 1648 in Trois Rivières, Quebec, Canada. The early marriage records of Trois Rivieres have been lost. The children of this marriage as given by http://epf.planete.qc.ca/base/affiche.asp?ID=I87128#info Raynard Drouin are:

Geneviève Guillet-Guyet-Guy
Jeanne Guillet
Mathurin Guillet
Catherine Guillet 8th ggm
Marie Guillet
Marguerite Guillet
Anne Guillet
Madeleine Guillet
Louis Guillet-St-Mars
and two others that are not named.

BJBader gives the following list of children:

Mathurin GUILLET b: 7 NOV 1649
Madeleine GUILLET b: 9 OCT 1650
Jeanne GUILLET b: 3 NOV 1652 in Trois-Rivieres, PQC
Anne GUILLET b: 24 SEP 1654
Marie-Catherine GUILLET b: 8 FEB 1656
Marie GUILLET b: 13 OCT 1658 in Cap-de-la-Madeleine, PQC
Louis GUILLET b: 4 JUN 1657
Marguerite GUILLET b: 17 AUG 1660
Joseph GUILLET b: 1664
Genevieve GUILLET b: 1665

Joseph b 1664 is one of the two that is not named in the first list. The other child likely died young.1

1666 The census of 1666 (Trois Rivieres) gives the following information:
Pierre Guillet dit Lajeunesse, 40 ans, habitant
Jeanne Saint Pere, 37 ans, sa femme (if she was born in 1627,  the age isn't right)
enfants: Mathurin,16; Jeanne,12; Anne, 11; Catherine, 10; Louis, 8;
Marie, 6; Marguerite, 5; Pierre, 3; Joseph, 2; Genevieve Guillet, 3
mois, fille & Nicholas Chacheu, 19 ans, domestique.


The following year, 1667, the census of Cap-de-la-Madeleine states:

Pierre Guillet dit Lajeunesse, 36 ans (he's now younger!)
Jeanne St Perre, 40 ans
enfants: Mathurin, 18; Jeanne, 16; Monette, 14; Catherine, 12;Louis,10;
Marie, 8; Marguerite, 7; Pierre, 5; Joseph,4; Genevieve, 2.
Domestique: Nicolas Cachet, 18 ans.
4 beasts & 78 arpents of land.

These census records show that both Pierre and Jeanne couldn't sign but their oldest son, Mathurin could. Pierre Guillet later learned to sign his name if not to write.5

Will 13 February 1669 Jeanne de St. Père left a will dated 13 February 1669 that was written at Batiscan, Quebec, Canada,  with the notary Latouche. All her worldly possessions were left to her husband Pierre. The exact date of her death is not known but she probably died soon afterward. She was in her early 40s. On December 1 1670, an inventory of her joint possessions was done with the notary, Cusson. They possessed 8 arpents of riverfront property with a house, a barn and a stable.6  

Death before 18 Nov
 1669
Jeanne likely died before 18 November 1669 at Cap de la Madeleine,  cté Champlain, Quebec,  Canada. She most likely died in Batiscan not in Cap de la Madeliene. It is likely that she died before 1670 as Pierre took another wife, possibly a Fille du Roi, in 1670.1
