Note 1
We believe that the family left Ireland during the Flight of the Wild Geese and may have settled in France. There, the family names changed. O'Connor became Jeannour; O'Brennan became Aubrenan; and even Teague's first name became Tec.
Tec probably emigrated to New England, and was captured by the Iroquois Indians at the end of 1660 or the early part of 1661 and was taken to Canada. After his escape, the first documentation on Tec in Canada is from the census of 1663 where he appears as a single man, 25 years old, who was working as a servant for the family of André Dumets. He was also a soldier. His birth is noted as Ireland in 1638.
On September 10, 1670, Tec married Jeanne Chartier in Québec, Canada. Jeanne was born in Paris, France, in 1640 or 1649. She was the daughter of Pierre Chartier and Marie Gaudon and came to the colony of "New France" as one of the "King's Daughters" in 1670.
After their marriage, Tec again changed his name to Jaques Tecaubry. He and Jeanne had four children; Madeleine Thérèse, born 1871, Marie, Jean, and François.
The family settled at l'Île-Ste-Therese on November 24 1687. Then then moved to Montréal on October 30, 1695.
The family name eventually became and remained Aubry. I descend through Tec's daughter, Madeleine.

An entry in the parish registry of Ville Marie, dated Oct. 12, indicates that Cornelius and the rest of the captives remained devout Catholics. Cornelius testified upon his release that one man who was killed, ``le grand Pierre'' Cauvin, had entrusted him with his final testament with instructions that if he died, all his goods should be turned over to the Church.
