Madamne Francoise Blouviade was 9 months pregnant when she was sent to the guillitine. Her baby self delivered during the death contractions and was trampled underfoot by the maddened horses leading the body buggy.
Age of baby Blouviade at death was one minute and thirty seconds.

Since they were chopping heads left and right, the youngest were probably unborn babies. You may not be able to find a "good reliable source" on those details, but may find anecdotal evidence somewhere, like maybe in Thomas Carlyle's famous "The French Revolution." (It's available online, at the link below and several others.)

Unborn babies, royalty, and priests. A lot of the clery were beheaded during the French revolution. Mobs broke into churches, destroyed what was inside, and dragged the priests to the chopping blocks.

I don't have the actual facts, but I know that the revolutionaries beheaded the rich and and thier property forfeited to the state. So, they probably killed tthier children as well, so there wouldn't be any heirs to the estate. Make sense?
