      '''Of unknown origin''' neither contract nor marriage act has reached us. Born around 1625 (42 on 1667 census)

      {{Canada_Nouvelle-France}}François Arsenault married Suzanne Lecomte before November 1665 in Cap-de-la-Madeleine
      A single child from the marriage, [[Arsenault-341|Michel]], born on 24 December 1666 and baptised in Cap-de-la-Madeleine, his godfather was [[Lemay-12|Michel Lemay]], his godmother [[Pépin-272|Marie Pépin]] wife of the sieur de La Rue. Michel will be given into the care of [[Herlin-23|Claude Herlin]] after the death of his father. Suzanne had died giving birth to Michel.
      [[Joliet-5|Adrien Jolliet]], of the Cap, gave a farming lease (sharecropping) to François Arçonneau, and Suzanne Lecompte, his wife, of his habitation at the Cap, for 3 years (1 November 1665). Notaire Jacques de La Tousche

      On the 1667 census, he is found in Petit Cap de la Madeleine
      François Sonneau, 42 ; Michel Sonneau, 30 ; 11 ''arpents'' in value. Note that the census taker erred, Michel would have been 3 months old and not 30 years.
      François Arsenault died on 10 February 1669 in Cap-de-la-Madeleine. Funeral record cannot be found. (records for this parish are largely missing for the era.)
