Parthon de Von family

In Châteauroux (France) The proven filiation of the Parthon family dates back to Étienne Parthon, born in 1575 and married in 1608 to Marguerite Bilhon. His son Étienne Parthon was born and baptized on May 28, 1610 in Châteauroux. He married Catherine Catherinot in 1643 in Châteauroux (Saint-Denis parish). Michel Parthon, one of the leaders of the bourgeois militia of Châteauroux, became "sieur" (lord) of Von.) His son, Pierre Parthon (1649-1727), married in 1682 to Anne Marie Basset, and mayor of Châteauroux in 1689. His son, François Parthon (1683-1723), lawyer in parliament, married in 1711 Jeanne Guymon. His son, Sulpice Étienne Parthon (1714-1793), counsel and king's lawyer of the bailiwick of Châteauroux, was artillery lieutenant and married in 1779 Andrée Jeanne Rosalie Thoinnet. He was the first of his family to add the name of Von to his name. He had a son, Édouard, born on April 1, 1788 in Nantes. He settled near Anvers at the Château de Middelheim and he devoted himself to horticulture and writing. He published a book of fables in 1843. One of its member was a prisoner of war during World War II, etc. == Ennoblement and titles ==

• In Belgium, by royal decree of June 18, 1844 and letters patent of January 2, 1845 Édouard Parthon de Von and his brother Édouard Henri Parthon de Von received a confirmation of nobility and an ennoblement as needed. • By letters patent of January 2, 1845 Édouard Parthon de Von was granted the title of knight, transmissible in the male line by primogeniture. He died without descendants. In a letter dated July 19, 1843 addressed to the prince of Ligne, Ambassador H.M. the King of Belgians to France, François Guizot, French Minister of Foreign Affairs, wrote "There is no doubt about the right exercised by Mr. Parthon de Von, today Honorary Consul of France, to bear since the first years of the Restoration the title of Chevalier. He belongs to a noble family, whose nobility dates back before the century of Louis XIV (…) and even if this family had not enjoyed nobility at that time, possession would have been acquired at that time. The branch from which the plaintiffs descend, because one of their ancestors, general counsel for the requests of the hotel dependent on the Parliament of Paris, would have benefited from the benefit of a royal ordinance dated November 6, 1657, by which they are declared noble and their posterity, those of the lawyers, advisers and masters of requests of the hotel who would not be from noble race..." Contrary to what François Guizot wrote in 1843, the first members of the Parthon family (Étienne Parthon married in 1608 to Marguerite Bilhon, Étienne Parthon, married in 1643 to Catherine Catherinot, Pierre Parthon (1649-1727), married in 1682 to Anne Basset, Sulpice Étienne Parthon, married to Marie Pelletier etc.) are bourgeois of Châteauroux and do not bear any noble qualification in the acts. == Lineage ==
