Germain LeSage, "Histoire de Louiseville":
(IMPORTANT NOTE: This info applies not to this Pierre Dulignon, but to his uncle! But does it? The uncle would not be the ancestor of all of the Dulignons and Lamirandes in Canada and the Chevaliers in this area. What about Jean?? Might the source of confusion be that Jean died about the time of his son Pierre's birth -- perhaps this infant son was adopted by the uncle.)
--p. 56: On 10 December 1700, the seigneur Le Chasseur conceded to "Pierre Dulignon, Escuyer, sieur de la mirande," the ancient property of Joachim Germano, now deceased.
The new censitaire was leaving the company of Joseph Desjordy-Moreau, Sieur De Cabanac, where he had held the post of sergeant. Born on 20 January 1655 of Protestant parents, he was baptized in the temple of La Rochefoucauld, near Angouleme. Oldest son of Théodore Dulignon and Marthe Pacquet, a young lady of high extraction, he had become, at the death of his father in 1660, seigneur of the domain of la Mirande, in the parish of Rancogne. He had two younger brothers: Jean and Théodore. The first, given to an adventurous character, had come to Canada as a young adolescent to devote himself to the fur trade; he married, at Montreal, a daughter of the cabaretiere Anne la Marque. As for the youngest of the family, Théodore, he remained in France, probably in possession of the family inheritance.
The Sieur De Lamirande carried in the Seigneury of the Riviere-du-Loup the double prestige of the military life and the nobility; his surname of "Chevalier" attached itself to certain of his descendants, so that he would become the ancestor of three great families: those of all the Dulignons and Lamirandes in Canada, and that of the Chevaliers in this locality.
At the end of 1700, the fief of Le Chasseur began hence to repopulate itself for the good. One could certainly find there, in addition to the Dulignons, the families De Gerlaise and Banhiac.
--p. 61: The marriage contract over which he (i.e. l'abbe Leonard Chaigneau, missionary priest) presided on 27 July 1703 was that of "chevalier" Pierre Dulignon de Lamirande and of Marguerite de Gerlaise, daughter of Jean de Gerlaise dit St-Amant. The missionary drew up the document, which in turn passed before the hand of the notary according to the "Coutume de Paris."
The terms of the act reveal much about the relative ease and generosity which the De Gerlaise parents then displayed; for they gave to their daughter: two two-year old bulls, a cow with her heifer, two of which were ready to butcher and two for the winter, two turkey hens and a dozen (chicken) hens. In addition, the father-in-law offered to labor for three years on his son-in-law's concession, in order to sow as much land as desired; and in the same fashion, in the first year he gave them a small portion of his own land, large enough that De Lamirande could there sow three "minots" of wheat.
