    Did Pons have a son called variously "Sir Jean", John Baron of Biron, Jean Baron de Biron...

    Leo only has the one child Catherine citing E.S.
    Prior generations here seem to be following a single source for some of the connections "Ascendants de Marie-Christine von Reibnitz, 2005, Jacquier, François-Laurent."

    However I have a particular interest in knowing that this Jean existed at all or is an internet myth.

    Ahhhh, this French Wikipedia page has him

    Booo
    It looks like some intrepid creator of myths has attached Sara as a daughter of Pierre Caumont which she may have been, but with a mother here of Jeanne Gontaut of the family of the Barons of Biron

    Which she likely was not.
