At p. 3 the writer says: "J’ay resolu de tirer ici non seulement ma genealogie et celle de ma femme, mais même d’y faire nôtre portrait et celuy de nos peres et meres, et de nos autres ancêtres autant qu’ils me seront cônus, et j’exhorte ceux qui viendront apres moy, si Dieu conserve les deux enfans qu’il m’a donnes, de continüer ce que j’auray dê-ja commencé." He was born at Montauban, 16 July, 1630.
