Notes |
- There was once a village in Picardy called "Trois Maisons" (three houses) near Bazinghem, not far from Boulogne; but it no longer exists. Several French-Canadian genealogists point to it as the probable home of this family (American descendants in the male line are now mostly named Picard). In the fifteenth century, minor nobles called Jehan and Bertaut des Troismaisons possessed fiefs in the area, but there is no proof of a relationship. A Jehanne des Troismaisons married Marc Hamerel about 1525, and a Jacques married Massette Coupelle about 1540. They had daughters Antoinette and Marguérite whose three marriages are also recorded. Antoine Destroismaisons and Jeanne Lacherer apparently moved to the large town of Amiens, and then later to Montreuil, some 35 miles north of Amiens near the coast. There they lived in the parish of Nôtre Dame de Montreuil-sur-Mer.
