Biography
LE MOYNE DE SERIGNY ET DE LOIRE, JOSEPH, naval officer, knight of the order of Saint-Louis, joint commander of Louisiana, governor of Rochefort; baptized 22 July 1668 at Montreal; d. 12 Sept. 1734 at Rochefort. He was the sixth son of Charles Le Moyne* de Longueuil et de Châteauguay and Catherine Thierry, and a younger brother of Pierre Le Moyne d’Iberville. Serigny married Marie-Élisabeth Héron at Rochefort, and by her had at least two sons and one daughter.
Joseph Le Moyne de Serigny began his service in 1686; on 28 May he was appointed a midshipman at Rochefort. In November 1687, he acted as interpreter for the Iroquois captives taken during Governor Brisay de Denonville’s campaign that year and sent to Marseilles to serve in the galleys. Denonville’s tactlessness in shipping these Indians to France was corrected the following year, and in 1689 Serigny was again dispatched to escort the Iroquois from Marseilles to La Rochelle, where they embarked for New France.
