Québec Généalogie - 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'. The Colonists of Nouvelle France added 'dit' names as distinguishers. A settler might have wanted to differentiate their family from their siblings by taking a 'dit' name that described the locale to which they had relocated.
The acquiring of a 'dit' name might also be the result of a casual adoption, whereby the person wanted to honor the family who had raised them. Another reason was also to distinguish themselves by taking as a 'dit' name the town or village in France from which they originated. This custom ended around 1900 when people began using only one name, either the 'dit' nickname or their original surname.

Biography
Clément Lériger — (ca 1662 - 1742)

Following the massacre by the Iroquois at Lachine in August 1689, he was part of a detachment sent in pursuit of the attackers. The sortie fell victim to an ambush and Lériger was captured, but after three years in captivity he was rescued.

It's assumed Marie was exceptionally beautiful and charming, because Lériger violated a strict rule with the union: he married without permission. The 'marriage was kept a secret because, as an officer, he was required to have the King's permission to marry,' which would 'not be granted unless the [bride] was able to bring a considerable dowry.'
Lériger was demoted for the offense, but eventually...Read MORE...
