In summer 1665, the entire Carignan-Sali res regiment and four companies of Chambell , Orl ans, Poitou and L'Allier regiments were sent. In all, twenty-four companies of 1200 men sailed toward the New World. Formed by the Savoie-Carignan prince, this regiment fought in Hungary against Turkish under the Sali res marquis command. Under De La Feuillade marshal and De Coligny count command, they saved Europe and were covered with glory. At that time, army was made of volunteers.

No record was held on soldiers real names, and they were been givennicknames instead, which were recorded on Captains registers, with soldiers physical description. The second one on 1648 and the third one around 1644. Because of the similarity between the first and the last one, we suspect the age reported in 1681 census as erroneous. It is also possible that 38 has been declared on the Census, but mistakenly red as 33 afterwards. By hypothesis we assume that Jean knows his birth's date and it has been correctly reported in 1665, that is to say 1642 or 1643.
