Village of Vignieu, near St-Chef (Isère, France), was under control of the Lord of Chapeau Cornu who has his castle a few miles west of the village. Close at east of the caster is a road, called Rual de Chapeau Cornu (litterally Street of Chapeau Cornu), forming a hamlet from where came the ancestor, André Jarret. His family, living on the Rual since at least 1471, had many lands including a wood I located on a hill, which I estimate to be at North-West of the castle. This Beauregard wood, located near Champ Andrevet, appears as belonging to the family about 1556, but it is likely that the name was used before, and that it is the Jarret family who give it this name. As there are other places called Beauregard in the area, it is possible this other name was re-used, but this is still a guess.
When André decided to reach his half-brother, François Jarret, in New-France, he decided to keep the name of Beauregard which seems to become about 1630 the name of a small land (fief) owned by the father of André (the land is mentionned, but without a name in the original document). The same name was later given to the land of Beauregard Islands, located near land of Verchères, owned by François. There is today a Beauregard island facing Verchères.
Following a tradition of his time, André became " André Jarret, sieur de Beauregard ". In some documents, his name is written as "Beauregard" and he is thus the first of my line to use the name of Beauregard, his ancesters being always Jarret. His children changed the name which became Jarret dit Beauregard, then, in my case, Beauregard.
Language notes:
Fief (like the land Beauregard in France and the Beauregard Island): a land owned of smaller importance compared to a seigneurie. A fief is "owned", i.e. not rented. Having a fief can be considered has a first step in direction of nobility. A fief is owned by a "sieur".
Seigneurie (like the land of Verchères): a land more important than a fief, owned by a Seigneur who is often (but not in the case of François Jarret de Verchères) of noble extract.
Origin of name Beauregard: a land belonging to the family since 1471 has this name since at least 1556
André had four sons: François, Louis, Joseph and Vincent, and a daughter, Anne-Marie, married with Joseph Tétro dit Ducharme.
