The document mentions that Jeanne Chochoa was widow to Laurent Hiriart and was married a second time to "cadet Etcheverry carabusier (sic)in the second battalion of the Chasseurs Basques".

A similar document is noted in the notary records of Jean Harismendy on 4 Messidor An IV (1796) in which her 2nd husband is noted as "cadet Etcheverry".
