Francoise de Pitie, daughter of Francois de Pitie and Claudine Poullet
"On Wednesday, 14 October 1665, at Chateau-Richer the Notary Claude Aubert prepared a contract of marriage between Antoine and his bride-to-be, Francoise Pitye. She was the daughter of Francois and of Claudine Poullet from the parish of Saint-Nicolas-des-Champs in Paris... Because of an oversight, this contract was not entered into the records until the following March 28th. Nevertheless, the marriage took place the same day the contract was signed."
