  • Notes 
    • In the list of "Inhabitants of Santo Domingo without land ownership and heirs of former settlers (1750-1826)", six members of the Grenot family are listed: Ann Marie, Charles Bernard, Anne, Marie-Jeanne-Sophie, Pierre-Ambroise-Isidore and Rose-Eleonore-Elisabeth (Grenot, widow Lapice de Bergondy).

      All Grenot heirs listed are just listed as "heirs", except the eldest male sibling, Charles Bernard Grenot. His listing reveals what the heirship pertained to: "Cafeteria. Farm Farm, AF: Derouville, A.N. Subseries D XXV 29" According to the legend of abbreviations, Cafeteria means owner of a coffee shop; AF means Family Alliance. Farm is not listed. However, it would seem to suggest a coffee farm or plantation.

      From the related list of "Settlers of Santo Domingo Former Owners (1789)", the following is found re the Derouville family (given as Deronville/Derouville): "Deronville [Derouville?], married Grenot Marie-Jeanne-Angelique 0 Candy. Originally from (La) Ronville near Wimereux (Pas-de-Calais) ?!; AF: Delamarre, Grenot, Legrand". Also listed: "Lapice, dit Bergondy [Lapice de Chateauriant?] Pierre-Michel 0 Cafeteria. /Candy. AF: Grenot", and his wife, Louise Demie Lapice, 0, heir."—Note that this Pierre Lapice (1743-1810) and the last legitimate holder of the title "de Bergondy" is the father of Pierre Michel Ambroise Lapice (known as P.M. Lapice, 1797-1884).

      NOTE: Although the author of these lists was unclear about the surnames as La Ronville versus, Derouville (de Rouville), a look at modern maps shows that Rouville is in Normandy, while La Ronville is far to the north and not in Normandy. The history of the Lapice family says that they were descended from a noble family in Normandy...which agrees with their being allied with the Derouville family at least partly through marriage into the Grenot family.
