Charles Le Moyne's wife: Catherine Gifford or Catherine Thierry?[edit]
The summary box lists Charles Le Moyne's wife as Catherine Gifford. However, the Dictionnaire Genealogique des Familles Canadiennes, by Abbé Cyprien Tanguay, which is the bible of early Canadian genealogy, states that his wife was named Catherine Primot, as she had been adopted by Antoine Primot. However, it goes on to say that her real name was Cathering Tierry [sic] as her father was Guillaume Tierry. As the French did not have the legal practice of adoption then, the preferred name, as Tanguay notes, would be Tierry, or Thierry (the correct spelling). Also, the online Encyclopedia of Louisiana agrees that her name was "Catherine Thierry." See http://www.knowla.org/entry/895/PGNormand (talk) 23:27, 3 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
