• "The Descendants of Matthieu and Susanne (nee Rochet) Garrigues..." by Robert Garrigus; Columbia MD: 2003. Best, most-recent research into the Garrigues family. [ This document consistently fails to convert Julian dates to Gregorian dates properly. i.e., 13th day, 7th month, 1743 is listed as July 13, 1743 when 7th month actually referred to September, so this date is September 7th in the Julian calendar and September 24th in the Gregorian calendar. --- Chris Garrigues]
