Thanks for the follow-up Janet. I have a copy of Jacques' baptism record and if his parents are indeed Gabriel Lepeltier and Anne Crespon he would have at least one sibling...a brother (Francois) born in 1661.
When I researched the Mans Robidas' there was even one Robidas' girl born in the 1620's whose father was a Lepeltier. So it is very likely that the Lepeltier trade name was synonymous with Robidas.
Another interesting find is that in the 1590's there was at least one family of Robidas living in Mans.Gabriel Robidas married to Francoise Brosseron.Very possibly our line will lead to them but I haven't made a connection yet.
Another Robidas family lived in Mans at the same time as Gabriel and Anne in the 1650s...Rene Robidas (married in Mans) who had at least two children born in St. Nicolas parish.Paul
