Marie Marguerite Sauvestre and Louis Chutron served as godparents for Louis Guitton at his baptism on 9 December 1685.
Two months later, the couple married at Notre Dame on 20 February 1686.
Jean Sauvestre again signed the register in his rather crude scrawl.
Tragedy stalked the years of marriage of Louis and Marie Marguerite. In four years, they had four children.
Three are known to have died before their second birthday;
the fate of the fourth is unknown. Louis Chutron was dead before the couple?s fifth anniversary.
Marie Marguerite?s father, Jean Sauvestre, died just a few months later, on 22 November 1690.
The twenty-eight year old widow Marie Marguerite Sauvestre married a second time, to nineteen year old Jean Arluc, at St. Louis in nearby Rochefort, on 5 May 1693.
The act reads in part:
Jean Arluc natif du bourg de Cannes de provence, calfat des vaisseaux du Roy fils de feu Angelin Arluc et de Anne Jourdan de cette paroisse, d?une part: et Marie Sauvestre veufre de Louis Chutron de cette paroisse d?autre part: ...le Cinq de may mil six cent quatrevingt treize en presence de Nicolas Arlique, de Francois Marie, de Pierre Lambert et de Pierre Pellecard, La partie a declare ne savoir signer, Les autres ont signes avec nous excepte Francis Marie, qui a declare ne savoir signer.
Jean Arluc native of the town of Cannes in Provence, caulker of the ships of the King son of deceased [sic] Angelin Arluc and of Anne Jourdan of this parish, of one part; and Marie Sauvestre widow of Louis Chutron of this parish of the other part:...the fifth of May one thousand six hundred and ninety-three in presence of Nicolas Arlique, Francois Marie, Pierre Lambert and Pierre Pellecard, the bride has declared not knowing how to sign, the others have signed with us except Francis Marie, who has declared not knowing how to sign.
Their daughter Marie Marguerite Arluc was baptized at Notre Dame, La Rochelle, on 20 December 1699.
Jean Arluc fils was baptized on 31 August 1701, also at Notre Dame in La Rochelle.
The records of baptism of Jeanne and Marianne Arluc have not been located.
The Arluc family apparently continued its life in La Rochelle for the next decade, until 18 June 1717, when Marie Marguerite Sauvestre died at the age of fifty-two.
She was buried the next day in their parish church of Notre Dame. Her mother, Elizabeth Forestier, died four months later, on 9 October 1717, and was also interred at Notre Dame.
