Count de Gaigneron Jollimont de Marolles
Title Inheritance
The male-line descendants of the first Count de Marolles, Marie-Jacques de GAIGNERON JOLLIMONT de MAROLLES (1775-1833) was extinct by 1895. The last male descendant,
Charles-Édouard Rose Camille Gaigneron Jollimon de Marolles (1807-1895), died without issuing a male heir.
Thus, it is possible that the title and dignity of Count de Marolles could have passed to another branch of the Gaigneron family: the one established by Marie-Nicolas-Joseph (1781-1850).
Marie Louis Oliver (1865-1942) was a direct descendant of Marie-Nicolas- Joseph . He was the son of Louis Adolphe de Gaigneron Jollimont de Marolles (1829-1899) and Amélie de PERRINELLE DUMAY (†1895).
