Notes:

An erudite Canadian genealogist says that the primitive name of the Trépagnier family was de Trépagny. For the last century or more, he asserts, it has been written as Trépanier, but by referring to the older Canadian records, one discovers that this family name has seen many transformations. In Louisiana, Claude de Trépagny (or Trepagnier), the founder of the family in that colony, signed his name as Trépanier. His son, François, adopted the form of Trépagnié. Since then the family has used the name of Trépagnier.

The founder of this old, distinguished and very numerous family in the New World, was Romain de Trépagny, born in France in 1627, who migrated to Canada in the earliest times and died in that country, at Chateau-Richer, on March 20, 1702.
