♀Gratianne Jeannet

Gratianne Jeannet (12 March 1638 – 17 September 1707) was a woman of Tourlaville, a parish just east of Cherbourg on the Cotentin Peninsula of Normandy, who was widowed there in 1669, when her husband Robert Le Rivager died at thirty-five. She was the eighth great-grandmother of Floyd Amatus Delahorne (1922–2014), through Anne Le Rivager, who is said to have been her daughter.

She was probably born at Tourlaville on 12 March 1638, the daughter of Guillaume Jeannet and Perrine Loyr, and she married Robert Le Rivager of the same parish. He was buried at Tourlaville on 21 May 1669. His burial act names him the son of Denis and Guillemine and the husband of Gratianne Jeannet, gives his age as thirty-five, and was witnessed by Thomas Jeannet, who bore her surname. The couple are said to have had a son, Denis, born in 1661, and a daughter, Anne, who married Jean Le Gentilhomme at Tourlaville on 7 July 1695. Gratianne is said to have died on 17 September 1707, thirty-eight years after her husband.

Notes

Her dates and parents

Her birth at Tourlaville on 12 March 1638, her death on 17 September 1707 and her parents, Guillaume Jeannet and Perrine Loyr, come from member-contributed WikiTree profiles. The one record of her on this page is her husband’s burial act of 1669, which calls him the husband of “gratianne Jeann[et]”; the end of her surname is unclear in the act.

Her children

No marriage act for Robert and Gratianne is given on this page. Anne Le Rivager’s marriage act of 1695 does not name her parents; her place as their daughter, and the son Denis born in 1661, come from a member-contributed WikiTree profile. One record points the same way: a “D Lerivager” signed Anne’s marriage act beside her.
