All those celebrities have in common French-Canadian pioneers, and in particular Percheron pioneers.
For instance, the Percheron pioneer Zacharie Cloutier, an ancestor of most of the celebrities mentioned before, who was born in Mortagne-au-Perche.
As strange as it may seem, there is nothing exceptional about those family ties. As the Percheron pioneers were among the very first French settlers to arrive in what was then known as New France, most of North Americans with French-Canadian ancestry have Percheron blood and are more or less related.

Matrilineal ancestry
Matrilineality is the tracing of kinship through the female line. A matriline is a line of descent from a female ancestor to a descendant (of either sex) in which the individuals in all intervening generations are mothers – in other words, a "mother line".
It is also sometimes known as the enatic, uterine or umbilical line.
This matrilineal descent pattern is in contrast to the more common pattern of patrilineal descent from which a family name is usually derived.
Such a mother line is the most certain line in a family tree; indeed, if a man has to recognize a child as his own at birth,
it is more difficult for a woman to hide her pregnancy, although there are existing exceptions.
The examination of Jack Kerouac's matrilineal ancestry leads us directly in Perche towards the pioneer
Mathurine Robin, born in Mortagne-au-Perche at the end of the XVIth century, wife of
Jean Guyon, the direct paternal ancestor of Celine Dion!
Even if his direct ancestor Urbain-François Le Bihan de Kervoach is from Brittany, Jack Kerouac has several ancestors whose the origin is Perche.
All immigrated in the 17th century.
