Jehannequin Hecquet

Life in context.

55. Jehannequin Hecquet (c. 1520–before 1580)
Compiled archival-derived Hecquet research identifies Jehannequin as a laboureur at Gapennes and husband of Marie Boissard. “Laboureur” generally denoted a working farmer with land/equipment rather than a landless day laborer. His generation sits before surviving parish registers become easy to follow, so original notarial and local archival records remain the gold-standard next step.
Evidence status. Working early ancestor; coherent compiled pedigree, not yet original-image verified generation by generation.
