1- The name of his parents are correct but this François Dubois is a different one from the Sieur du Bosc (Bois). He was not a soldier but a taillandier and a domestic, working for the Ursulines (nuns). Born in 1635 in Saint-Sixte de Turgeon, Confolens, Angoulême. François Dubois dit Lafrance was born in Bretagne, France.. not in the same area.
It is suspect that the dit Lafrance applied to his name in Tanguay is wrong.
It was not unusual for illegitimate children to use their father's name or, in his case, Du Bosc (DuBois). The father obviously acknowledged him.
Since he was in the military, he had a "nom de guerre'. Guerre means war. Those names were like "dog tag numbers" soldiers have today. And those "nom de querre" were inherited by the children of the soldiers.
So, in this François's case, adding 'dit LaFrance' is correct. But his father would not have carried the 'dit LaFrance' name.
His father was Jean Buan, Sieur du Bosc as per the records of Le régiment de Carignan-Salières. However, on his marriage record, his father's name is listed as François DuBois. Mother's last name is spelt Fayel or Fayenne.
His father was married to Gillette Mouessan and they had legitimate offspring.
