Hi John;

This was the Jacques Verner married at Chateauguay on 15-09-1783 to
Angélique Duquet. According to the church register, Jacques was the
son of François Verner and Madeline Herdraline, or Hendreleine from
the town of Badedourlac? in Germany.

No sign of your other Jacques Verner.

Regards

Frank
