1330. Pierre DULIGNON DE LA MIRANDE was baptized on 20 January 1656 in La Rochefoucauld (Temple calviniste) (Charente) (Poitou Charentes Region), France.1770 According to a book written by Germain Lasage entitled "Histoire de Louiseville", the Dulignon de la Mirande family was one of nobility. Pierre was, supposedly, the eldest of a Protestant family ennobled by King Henry IV. Pierre was likely a member of the "Troupes de la Marine". He came to Quebec as a Sergeant in company of Joseph Desjordy-Moreau, Sieur Cabanac. The lieutenant and his crew of about 500 left La Rochelle in 1685. Desjordy-Moreau and his nephew, François, were on the ship "La Diligente" with the officers, the Governor of Denoville and Bishop of Saint-Vallier. The enlisted soldiers were on the ships "Le Fourgon" and "Le Mulet". Pierre Dulignon, because of his nobility, was probably on the first ship. They arrived at Québec in July. In 1686, they began the four-year Iroquois War and fought the English beginning in 1689. 3146 At the end of the Iroquois War, Pierre Dulignon settled at La Rivière-du-Loup.
