Louise-Anne LETARTRE (LETARTE) was the child of René LETARTRE (LETARTE) and Louise-Anne GOULET

Marriage notes:
"...Notwithstanding the great significance of this contract, the one on 3 November [1669] which Claude Auber drew up, had still greater importance. Friends and relatives were summoned to the house of Jacques Goulet, at L'Ange-Gardien, to be witnesses to the solemn commitment of Jean Mathieu to Louise-Anne du Tertre (Le Tartre), daughter of Rene and of Louise-Anne Goulet. The groom said he was the son and heir, in part, of the late Jean Mathieu and Isabelle Monnachau, from the parish of the Coulonges and the village of Montignac, on the Charente River, diocese of Angouleme. The marriage was to be celebrated as soon as possible... The bride and groom solidified their promise on the 19th of the same month..."
