"These are our great-grandparents. Marie Exupere Remillard was a descendant of Guillaume Remillard of Chateau Joinsard, diocese of Limoges, France. The reader will note that for the first time the name of "Duhaut" is found in our family record. It was used by our great-grandfather. The Dictionnaire of L'Abbe Tanguay says that this was a variation only, and it was probably used to distinguish his family from that of his brothers Antoine and Jean Baptiste Jacques, who also raised large families in the parish of St. Cuthbert. There is no real warrant for the use of this name. It was not used by his brothers, nor by any of his ancestors. It is now only a tradition in our family and is never used. The Dictionnaire of L'Abbe Tanguay and our own investigations show with indisputable documentary evidence, that the name of "Duhaut" has no place in our family and that our only real name is Jacques."
