    Fo16. Jean de la Fontaine b about 1375 in FRA. Believed to have descended from Jean de la Fontaine, who fought in the First Crusade under Godfrey of Bouillon, at Jerusalem in 1099, and who established the de la Fontaine family at Fontenay, anciently prominent in Normandy, Anfou, Maine, Poitou, and Picardy which maintains descent from Arthur, Duke of Brittany.

    Fo13Gilles de la Fontaine b about 1475. Gilles and his son, John de la Fontaine, could not bear to bring up his sons, according to the usual habits of nobility, without any employment, and therefore placed his son, Jean (John) de la Fontaine, in the king's service. He served in the "Les Ordannances de Roi" during the reigns of Francis I, Henry II, Francis II and the second year of Charles IX when he voluntarily resigned. He converted to Protestantism about 1535. Resigned his commission about 1562 and retired to his estate in Maine where he actively supported the Protestant Church. In 1563, he, his wife, one son, and a faithful valet were assassinated by a group of ruffians from the city of Le Mans who had been dispatched by members of the Catholic Church.
    Fo12 John/Jean de la Fontaine, born 1500 d 1563. From http://www.mosquitonet.com/~luht/FOUNT.asp John de la Fontaine was born in the Province of Maine, France. He received a commission in the household of Francis I in the King's Royal Ordinance. He served the court in this office through the reigns of Henry II and Francis II, and until the second year of Charles IX. He embraced Protestantism about the year 1535 and he held his commission until the religious controversy quieted. Soon after his resignation he was attacked by ruffians who cut his throat. His wife and eldest son met the same fate.

    Fo11 James/Jacque de la Fontaine b 1549 probably at Le Maus, France "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. d 1633 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. He was engaged in commerce. Name of wife and date of marriage unknown. Had several children but only three lived to be grown, two daughters and one son. Probably spent most of his life at Rochelle.died in 1633 leaving his family 9000 livres
