He married Marie-Anne GIGUÈRE on 22 February 1762 in St-Michel, Yamaska, Québec. The Marriage Contract was set up on 2 March 1762 with the Notary Louis PILLARD. Joseph Léveillé died and was buried on 30 June 1773 in St-Michel-d'Yamaska, Québec.(1)(3)(5)(2)(22)

There is an entry in the Family Tree Maker's Archives: Passenger and Immigration Lists Index, 1500s-1900s that states "Fourquain, Joseph, 1762, Québec, from Norman Laybourn Emigrations of Alsaciens & Lorrains." This would probably indicate that Joseph was born in Diocèse de Thou, Toul, Lorraine, France, where his parents were married.
