| | Clément Lerigé de La Plante and his Descendants |
 | | Clément Lerigé, Sieur de La Plante, the Canadian ancestor of the families Leriger, Dériger, de La Plante, La Plante and Laplante-Courville arrived in the country in 1685 (1) with Monsieur de Denonville, in his capacity as ensign with shoulder lanyard in the Troupes de la Marine. |
 | | Its alliances with the Mesturas and Hérauld de Gourville families, and the untanglings in a long court case on the subject of the inheritance of Pierre Lériget de la Ménardie, Receiver General of Finances for Dauphiné province, had made clear the necessity of establishing the genealogy of this family. |
 | | Since the Duponts of France are relatives by marriage (29) with the Hérauld de Gourville family, and by this fact linked with the Lérigets, must one then be surprised to see another son of Clément, Joseph-Marie, add De Renom (Dernon) to the end of his patronymic name (30). |
