Anne GUÉRIN dite BLANCHARD was the child of François GUÉRIN and Anne BLANCHARD

Marriage notes:
"Pierre dit Châtillon's oldest son Laurent dit Châtillon dit Beauséjour, born at Montréal in August 1655, married first to Anne, daughter of Francois Guérin and Anne Blanchard, probably at Chignecto in c1677. He settled for a while at Pointe Beauséjour near Beaubassin (the future site of French Fort Beauséjour took its name from the ridge on which he lived) and at Port-Royal but returned to the St. Lawrence valley, where he lived for a time at St.-Pierre-du-Sud, St.-Francois-du-Sud, now Montmagny, and St.-Antoine-de-Tilly, where his wife died in January 1718, and again at Montréal. Laurent and Anne had 13 children, including three sons who married into the Pellerin dit Caudebec, Roy, and Verdon families. Their daughters married into the Marchand (Marcheguay) dit Poitiers, Mercier dit Caudebec, Carrière dit Carcassone, Gareau dit Lagarde, Rainville, Berthelet dit Le Savoyard, and Quévillon families. Laurent remarried to Marie-Anne, daughter of Mathieu Brunet dit Lestang and Marie Blanchard and widow of Antoine Pilon, at Pointe-Claire, present-day Québec Province, in June 1719. They had no children. Laurent died at Rivière-des-Prairies, Québec, in May 1737 in his mid-80s. All of his married sons and most of his married daughters settled in the St. Lawrence valley. One of his daughters, Marie dit Châtillon, wife of Louis Marchand dit Poitiers, married at Port-Royal in November 1705 but moved to Port-Toulouse, Île-Royale, now Cape Breton Island, where she died in the 1730s.

What is a "dit/dite" Name?

When the first settlers came to Québec from France, it was a custom to add a "dit" nickname to the surname. The English translation of "dit" is "said." Colonists of Nouvelle France used dit names as distinguishers. A settler might use one to differentiate a branch of the family from siblings, sometimes choosing a name connected with the place to which the family had relocated.

A dit name could also result from a casual adoption or from honoring the family that had raised someone. In other cases it identified the town or village in France from which the person originated. The custom ended around 1900, when people increasingly used only one name, either the dit nickname or the original surname.
