I've been working on this for some time. During this time Wikipedia had information on Notable descendants of Zacharie Cloutier.
When I went back to Wikipedia today,

to finish this, the list of notable descendants is now gone. I have decided to go ahead and do this anyway. I am probably missing about 8 or 9 of his notable descendants, but there is a lot here.
