Notes:

He was born about May 1634 in the parish of Sainte-Solemne (today: the parish of Saint-Louis) in Blois (diocese of Chartres), Orléanais, the son of Sébastien Jahan and Jeanne Oudinet/Audinet.He most likely received his "dit" name from his or his father's military service.The French issued a nickname like the military assign identification numbers today.

Jacques Jahan dit Laviolette was baptized on June 12, 1629 in Sainte-Solene, Blois, France, the son of Sebastien Jahan and Jeanne Ouidinet. His contract to marry was notarized on September 7, 1658 and he married on September 24, 1658 . His bride was Marie Ferra, the daughter of Jean Ferra and Antoinette Hubert from Creve-Coeur of Beauvais in Picardie, France. They had 11 children.

There is evidence from a contract that Jacques was living in Quebec by May 29. 1656. The contact was with Mr. Quentin Moral from Trois- Riveieres. Jacques was a tanner, but also made a living as a farmer. On March 22, 1660 he obtained official title to land of two acres frontage along the coast of Beaupre called Les Chesnes from Guillaume Couillard.

They settled on the Île d'Orléans, in the first parish created, but the church of Sainte Famille was not built until 1669, so until that time their children were baptized at Château-Richer.

He was listed in the 1681 Île d'Orléans census as a 50 year old tanner. the trade he already had when arriving in New-France (Québec), the same trade as the one of his father, Sébastien Jahan.

Jacques Jahan dit Laviolette was buried 04 April 1699 at Québec City.

On May 5th, one month after Marie buried her husband, she buried her son François at Sainte Famille.Both may have been the victims of an unidentified epidemic that struck the colony that year (I can't find any documented evidence of this).Marie Ferra was buried 17 February 1713 at Saint-Jean, Île d'Orléans.Of her 11 children, only three girls survived her.

Leatherworking was highly regulated in France, but this was not the case in New France. Leathermakers in Quebec could use many methods that were reserved for other artisans in France. In the beginningof the leatherworking industry in Quebec, the taners received skins processed in France as well as by local private tanners. It is likely that Jacques was a private tanner. Tanning was the process of converting skins of cows, goats, calves, sheep, hogs, sheep, and dogs into raw hides and eventually leather. To be successful in the trade, Jacques would have needed a steady supply of skins, tanbark from trees which was used for making tannin, as well as a great deal of water to wash and clean animal skins.

From their union are born eleven children.
He is in the country of 1655, as evidenced by a promise he made to Sieur Quentin Moral of Trois-Rivieres May 29, 1656. He practices the trade of taneur, but also engages in agriculture. On March 22, 1660, Guillaume Couillard officially granted him a land of two arpents front by a league of depth on the Cote de Beaupre, at the place called Les Chesnes. It was already established since the previous year. He made it the next April 4th to Hilaire Charonnet and Mathurin Tessier. Moreover, Sieur Charles de Lauzon had granted him land in the seigniory of Liret on the Island of Orleans, the previous favor. It is on this earth that he will fix himself. On February 19, 1661, he carried 32 books to Jacques Renouard for a sum of 71 livres. An act of the next April 10 tells us that the Sieur Nicolas Juchereau the sum of 472 pounds he prom

As he did not argue, he owed Mr. Juchereau the sum of 472 pounds which he promised to pay in six months. In the company of Jacques Baudon, he gave up to Hypolite Thiverierge on August 25 of the following year, an acre of his land for a lively capon, 20 soils and 12 deniers of annual income.

In the 1667 census, he declared that he owned a horned animal and twelve acres of land in value. At the start of this

Vincent Renaud acting as attorney for Jean Norman gives him a 25-pound receipt upon the acquittal of Elie Masson and on July 2, Monseigneur de Lavel grants him land of three arpenta at the front on the south coast of the island of Orleans. He does not seem to have gone to live there, because at the recession of 1681, he still lives on his land in the seigneury of liret at Sainte-Famille and declares having a rifle, ten horned beasts and five hundred and five arpents of land in value. However, we know by a declaration of February 26, 1684 that he has until then, paid the rents of his land on the south side. On February 3, 1683, he partnered for nine years with his neighbor Hypolite Thivierge to assert a tannere, at common costs, in Ile d'Orleans. The tan mill is located on the land of Thivierge. As for him, he promises to supply the leathers. Thivierge promises to make the purchases, which is why he commits 730 pounds 8 floors and 4 deniers. As for him, he promises to assert these purchases.

This company seems to have worked well, because on November 10, 1688, he was able to agree to pay 1000 pounds to Jeanne Badeau and Pierre Parent for a land of three arpents front on the south coast of the Isle of Orleans. He obtained a final receipt on March 1698. In addition, on April 22, 1689, his son-in-law Jean Bilodeau, husband of his daughter Marie, gave him a receipt for the books promised during their marriage contract.

To settle his accounts with Mr. Louis Rouer de Villeray, on October 20, 1691, he promised to reimburse him 750 pounds, from which he obtained a final receipt on August 26, 1693. In the meantime, on July 16, 1692, he had acquired the half a piece of land belonging to Jacques Gerber at Sainte-Famille and for which he paid 100 pounds for 200 pounds of the sale price. He obtains final receipt on March 28, 1693. The following April 11, himself gives receipt of 200 pounds to Gervais Faucher, who in the name of Jacques Gerber cancels the sale of July 16, 1692. He died in Quebec and was buried on April 4 1699, at the age of seventy-two according to the register.
