 "she, rich in everything that should make one happy in life: the gifts of fortune and those of intelligence, the anxious tenderness of family and discreet benevolence for the poor, pious worship and the gentle tolerance that make belief forgiven by incredulity itself... She died; she who had such beautiful days before her eyes... Letters, sciences, fine arts, she seemed to have guessed everything rather than learned everything... It was too much for a woman still so young, and God seemed to call her to him as if to give a divine mission to this superior soul that he found too pure for this world..." (Source 6)

 Marie-Jacques (Jacques Marie) GAIGNERON JOLLIMON (1775-1855), First Count of Gaigneron Jollimont de Marolles

Born on May 21, 1775 in Saint Pierre, Martinique and died on March 26, 1855 in Tours, France. He was Mayor of Chissay (1851), general councilor of Montrichard (1809-1839), member of the electoral college of Loir & Cher .

On June 1, 1816, by the Grace of His Majesty King Louis XVIII de Borbon (1755 – 1824) of France and Navarre, Marie Nicolas Joseph was created Count de Gaineron Jollimont de MAROLLES in the Kingdom of France.

Marie-Jacques Gaigneron-Jollimont de Marolles returned to France in about 1850 and died in Tours on March 26, 1855 (Source 1). 

The branch of Marie Nicolas Joseph returned to France in about 1802 after the Peace of Amiens. It also appears that he spent time in England from 1790 to 1802.

In 1796, possibly exiled in England, he married Elisabeth HUSSEY-MONTEGU (1780-1865) and issued three children

Note on Last Name:

From 1816 on the GAIGNERON JOLLIMON branch of the family has added the last name of "de Marolles". 

Some genealogies indicate that the title is Count de Gaigneron Jollimont de Marolles which causes confusion. As it stands, these are the possible combinations found:

1) Count de Marolles (June 1, 1816 in Letter Patent)
2) Viscount de Marolles (1873, Requiem Card of Alfred Louis Casimir)
3) Count de Gaigneron Jollimont de Marolles (online genealogy data banks)

Alfred Louis Casimir GAIGNERON JOLLIMON de MAROLLES (1801-1873), Second Count of Gaigneron Jollimont de Marolles 

 

In 1833, Alfred Louis Casimir Gaigneron Jollimon de Marolles married Elisabeth LAWTON (1817-1888). She was the daughter of Jean Edouard Lawton and Anna Suzanne GUESTIER (daughter of the Baron Daniel GUESTIER and Marie Elizabeth LYS).


On April 30, 1843 Alfred Louis Casimir Gaigneron Jollimon de Marolles was made a Chevalier of the French Legion of Honor. As a career officer in the French Army, he archived the rank of Capitaine de cavalerie .

Alfred Louis Casimir and Elisabeth LAWTON issued four children:

1) Jacques -Edouard (1834-1879), 4th Count de Marolles and had no issue
2) Elizabeth Anna (1837-1870) married William Johnston (1832-1893)
3) Alice Jeanne (1845-1923) married William Johnston (1832-1893)

Jacques-Edouard GAIGNERON JOLLIMON de Marolles (1834-1879), Calvary Lieutenant, Third Count de Gaigneron Jollimont de Marolles 

Son of Alfred Louis Casimir, Second Count de Marolles and Elisabeth LAWTON died with no issue. He died in Royan on August 1, 1879.

 

Charles-Edouard-Rose-Camille GAIGNERON JOLLIMON de Marolles (1807-1895), Fourth Count of Gaigneron Jollimont de Marolles and First Viscount of Marolles

Charles Edouard Rose Camille was the last son of Marie Nicolas Joseph, First Count de Marolles, and Elisabeth HUSSEY. He was also a page to Their Majesties Louis XVIII and Charles X.

At some point he was created Viscount de Marolles . He married on June 1840 Caroline JUTEAU (1820-1884) and issued only one child:

1) Charlotte Jacqueline/Jacqueline Charlotte , Marquise de PIOLENC

The House of PIOLENC

A Question of Inheritance:

It would appear that upon the death of this brother Alfred Louis Casimir in 1873 and his two nephews Jacques in 1879 and Edouard in 1882, Charles Edouard Rose Camille would have become the COUNT de Gaigneron Jollimont de Marolles in 1882. This would explain why his wife, Caroline Juteau who died in 1884 was referred to as Countess de Marolles in the funeral mass invitation issued on the date of her death.

Moreover, according to the Dictionary of French Families (1929), Charles Edouard Rose Camille is considered to be the last Count de Marolles (p.21).

For the title of Count de Marolles to have legally passed to another branch of the family, it probably needed Royal Sanction. By the time that Charles Edouard Rose Camille died, France was a Republic and thus these types of disputes may not have had legal standing.

Marie Jacques GAIGNERON JOLLIMONT, First Count de Marolles had several brothers. One of them was Marie-Joseph-Nicolas Gaigneron Jollimont (1781-1850). When the last Count de Marolles, Charles Edouard Rose Camille died the title and dignity could have passed to the branch established by Marie-Nicolas-Joseph. He was born in 1781 in Lamentin, Martinique and died in Paris in about 1850.

 He married twice:

1) On June 3, 1807 to Anne du BUC de SAINT-PRIX (1790-1808) and had no issue.

2) On August 27, 1810 at Saint Pierre Fort, Louise Cesarine Eleonore de PERINELLE du MAY(1791-1850) and issued three children:

 

a) Louis-Adolphe married Amélie de PERRINELLE du MAY (+ December 29, 1895)
 

b) Louise-Octavie (+1876) married Ludovic NICOLAZZO de BARMON, Naval Captain.

At some point, the family of Marie Nicolas Joseph and Louise Cesarine moved to France because their eldest son was born in Paris in 1829. So between 1810 and 1829, this branch returned to France.

Heirs to the Title and Dignity:
