    - Second husband Martin Lefebvre was born at St. Symphorien, Reims, France, and died 15 November 1651 at St. Jean du Perrot, La Rochelle, France.  They were married 10 January 1647 at St. Barthelemy de La Rochelle, Aunis, France.  He was Sieur de Montespy and Secretaire Ordinaire of the Money Chamber of King Louis XIV.
    
    - Third husband Savinien de Courpon was born (unknown), and died Bef. 1661.  They were married 17 October 1654 at St. Jean de La Rochelle, Aunis, France.  Admiral Savinien de Courpon was in the Caribbean between 1641 and 1648 where he was taken prisoner by the Turks.  France arranged his release in exchange for a famous Corsaire who was detained in Marseilles.   His wife at the time was the ex-Baronness Savigny. When she went to meet her husband upon his release on the Island of Saint-Martin, she found him in the company of another woman. The jealous wife stabbed him in the neck with a bayonet when he was asleep in a drunken stupor. De Courpon survived the attack and condemned her to be executed.  Barbe Bajolet became the second wife of this widower of Nantes who was Captain of a vessel. (He was a retired Admiral of a fleet named 'Des 100 Associés' who transported supplies & goods between France and Acadia).   With her third husband and the children of her two preceding marriages, Barbe Bajolet returned to Acadia. Her family settled on a fief which was conceded to them by Charles de la Tour.  A few years later, widowed again, thrice-widowed Barbe asked a vessel from Boston to give passage for her and her family to Port-Royal. It would be soon after that her daughter Marie Pesseley would marry Jean Pitre.
