Marriageable Young Girls

The Duvals

There were two Duval women on the list of  Filles A Marier:   Louise and Suzanne; though they don't appear to have been related.  Actually, the only Suzanne Duval I could find was from St. Sulpice, Paris, Ile De France, France; and married to Jean-Jacques Duverger.   However, they were married in France though their daughters Francoise and Suzanne Du Verger were legitimately marriageable young girls.  If there was another Suzanne Duval she did not follow through on her contract.
