♂Robert Le Rivager

Robert Le Rivager (born 21 April 1635, buried 21 May 1669) was a man of Tourlaville, a parish just east of Cherbourg on the Cotentin Peninsula of Normandy, who died there at thirty-five and left his wife, Gratianne Jeannet, a widow. He was the eighth great-grandfather of Floyd Amatus Delahorne (1922–2014), through Anne Le Rivager, who is said to have been his daughter.

He was probably born at Tourlaville on 21 April 1635, the son of Denis Le Rivager and Guillemine Gringore, and he married Gratianne Jeannet 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 his wife’s 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.

Notes

His birth

The birth date of 21 April 1635 at Tourlaville comes from a member-contributed WikiTree profile; no baptism is given on this page. The burial act’s age, “trente cinq”, fits it.

His mother’s name

The burial act gives his mother as Guillemine; her surname, Gringore, is hard to make out in the act.

His 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.
