:Included amongst those signing the oath were four Pierre Richards with one of those four being recorded as Pierre Richard le fils. It seems highly likely that this Pierre was one of the four.

In this case, he was not noted to be the father of the groom, but Pierre seemed to be a witness at all of his children's weddings. In the cases of Charles (1734), Jacques (1735), and Pierre (1726), he was noted to be the groom's father; in the cases of Angelique (1714), Anne (1719), Jean (1714), Joseph (1735), and Marguerite (1711), his relationship to the groom was not noted.
