Joseph Abeille's first marriage, possibly to Magdeleine Le Roy, was followed by the births of two children. His second marriage was formalised on 6 April 1717 in Toulouse. His bride, more than twenty years younger than he, was Madeleine de Labat: the marriage produced at least four and possibly as many as seven children between 1719 and 1727, including Françoise Abeille de Keralio.
