Louis Courbon in Boucher

Also on the Berg China were the cousins Pierre Grange, twenty-three years of age, and Louis Courbon, a youth of twenty. These would seem to be families from Cabrieres-d’Aigues, where there was certainly one link between them: the marriage of Francois Grange to Marguerite Courbonne. Their sons were Louis and Daniel, the latter dying in January 1695. Marguerite made her will in July 1677, describing herself “comme fidelle xstienne (chretienne) de la religion prethandue refformee”. Her marriage was not a happy one and by 1680 husband and wife had separated.Members of both families were masons in the village.
