  Telegraph | News | The Marques de Garrigues
The Marques de Garrigues, who has died aged 100, was, as Antonio Garrigues y Diaz-Canabate, Franco's ambassador to America during the presidency of John F Kennedy; he also served in the Republican government which preceded Franco's regime, and in the cabinet after the restoration of the monarchy.
Garrigues had been close to the Kennedys since Joe Kennedy, the future President's elder brother, visited Madrid during the Spanish Civil War, and he cemented the friendship during his time in Washington, when he regularly dined at the White House.
Antonio Garrigues y Diaz-Canabate was born in Madrid on January 9 1904, one of five sons of a prosperous lawyer who was widowed when Antonio was a boy.

 Guardian Unlimited | Obituaries | Antonio Garrigues
Antonio Garrigues, who has died aged 100, was a unique figure in Spanish politics, holding high office under the republic in the 1930s, the Francoist dictatorship in the 1960s and the restored monarchy of King Juan Carlos in the 1970s.
In Spain, however, he was best known as the intimate friend of Jacqueline Kennedy; his silence on the nature of their relationship encouraged all sorts of rumours, but, whatever the truth, it is certain that he was a close friend to her after her husband's assassination in 1963.
Garrigues was appointed a minister not because of his lust for justice, but because, by then, he presided over the largest legal firm in Spain - some say in Europe - employing more than 1,000 lawyers in Madrid.

Matthieu and Susanne (née Rochet) Garrigues were probably members of the waves of French Huguenots who fled France in the late 17th century sometime following the Revocation of the Edict of Nantes.
I think that the Garrigues may have also sold dry goods in their tavern, which may be how Samuel Garrigues developed his initial market share leading to the success of his own business.
Matthieu Garrigues died in Philadelphia probably on September 5, 1726 only 8 months prior to Britain's King George I. His burial was recorded in the Christ Church Burial Register on September 6, 1726.
