    The DE BOISDAVID family belongs to the nobility of Brittany. Its original name was that of David. Its author, Pierre David, Sieur de la Botardi?re and Chesne-Moreau, in the diocese of Nantes, married to Jeanne le Tixier, was received in 1588 auditor, then in 1616 advisor master in the Chamber of Accounts of Nantes and was ennobled by these functions. His son, Pierre David, Sieur de la Botardi?re, married to Anne Avril, received in 1644 Conseiller Master in the Audit Chamber of Nantes, was maintained in his nobility of extraction by judgment of November 8, 1668 (ali?s February 15, 1669) . He obtained letters patent from King Louis XIV in 1672 authorizing him and his two sons, Urbain and Pierre, to substitute the name of David for BOISDAVID, under which their descendants continued to the present day.

    Boisdavid's family was represented at the beginning of the 19th century by two brothers, Jean-D?sir? and Constant, both of whom had left male posterity. The oldest of them, Jean-D?sir? de Boisdavid, born in Nantes in 1781, lieutenant-colonel, married to Miss Douglas, received the hereditary title of baron by letters patent from King Louis XVIII of March 7, 1818.
