Charles Frederic Louis De l’Aigle was born 12 Jan 1734 at Louvemont, France, son of Frederic de lAigle. Squire, Lord of Champgerbeau from 1772 to 1775, at which time he sold the property (apparently to another family member) right before his death. A family letter states: "The land of Champgerbault is now a hamlet of the village of Louvemont (8 kilomenters from Wassy). There was a 'castle' of Chamgerbault, which was maybe destroyed about 1770; but a gallery with some family portraits was maintained. At it's turn, it was destroyed by a fire about 15 years ago". (ca 1933)....." what remains today of the land of the Sires de l'Aigle could be the property of the son of the precedent Sire de l'Aigle who is just now residing in Dijon as Justice Counseller." The property of Chamgerbeau is still owned by a member of the family (2007). The house that currently exists was built prior to World War II as it was used for billeting of troops during the War.

Charles Frederick Louis married Marie Madeleine Blin, daughter of Jacques Blin and Catherine Jomard, on 25 Jun 1776 at Louvemont. He was age 44 at the time of his marriage, Marie Madeleine was age 36. After taking their vows of marriage they declared Nicolas and Marie Anne to be their natural children, thus legitimizing them, and they henceforth carried their father's name, de l'Aigle. Nicholas was 9 years old and Marie Anne was 5 years old at the time. He died 17 Oct 1777. A family document states:

"The year 1776, the twenty-fifth day of June, after obtaining on behalf of the people denominated below, the two banns dispensation dated the 15th of the present month, duly checked and announced the same day, from the lord Bishop, Count of Chalons, peer of France and after the publication of one of the banns done the 24th of the present month during the homily of the parish mass without any opposition and without any impediment to marriage was found, and after the engagement done the day before, we (used for 'me') priest of Louvemont, observing the solemnities prescribed in the holy canons and in the laws of the kingdom, after consents and by we, we joined by the bond of sacrament of marriage CHARLES FREDERIC LOUIS DE L'AIGLE de CHAMPGERBAUX (LORD OF CHAMP-GERBAULT), squire, forty four years old, son of defunct (deceased) Frederic de l'Aigle, lord of Champgerbaux and Marie Louise ANTOINE de Blamont (Dame of Blamont), his father and mother, and MARIE MADELEINE BLIN, thirty six years old, daughter of defunct (deceased) Jacques BLIN and Catherine JOMART, both from here. After their declarations on oath in front of the altar, the said Mr. DE L'AIGLE and Maire Madeleine BLIN declared to presently have two children.

It is thanks to Alain, a relative in France, that the above information about Marie Anne is confirmed.

It is possible they had children!
