Pulligny / Nancy
Pulligny / Nancy is documented in the LeClaire family record through the following ancestors:
Claude II Leclerc de Pulligny
1532, 1598
Argentier to the Duke of Lorraine and Treasurer to the Count of Vaudémont's company, the height of the Le Clerc de Pulligny family's political and financial influence, whose conversion to Protestantism brought the confiscation of the family's nobility and lands, and one of the defining crises in the history of the House.
Laurent Le Clerc de Pulligny
1595, 1691
Younger son of Claude II Leclerc de Pulligny and brother of the painter Jean and the diplomat Alexandre, a master goldsmith of Paris and Lyon who rebuilt the family's prosperity through professional skill, and the most likely ancestor of the continuing branch of the House.
