Dumont de Montigny : ウィキペディア英語版 | Dumont de Montigny
Jean-François-Benjamin Dumont de Montigny, or Dumont de Montigny, was a colonial officer and farmer in French Louisiana in the 18th century. He was born in Paris, France, on July 31, 1696, and died in 1760 in Pondicherry, India. His writings about French Louisiana include a two-volume history published in 1753, as well as an epic poem and a prose memoir preserved in manuscript and published long after his death.〔Sayre, Gordon.

Dumont was the youngest of six sons of Jacques François Dumont, an ''avocat au parlement de Paris,'' that is, a prominent magistrate.〔 In surviving documents, he often signed his name as François-Benjamin Dumont, but history works and library catalogs have preserved the "Jean." The name "de Montigny" was not used by most other members of his family. At least one scholar has asserted that Dumont assumed it as a false title of nobility when living in Louisiana.〔Delanglez, Jean. "A Louisiana Poet-Historian: Dumont de Montigny." ''Mid-America'' 19:1 (January 1937): 32.〕 But scholars have found that a niece is documented as using the same surname.〔Archives nationales de France, Minutier central, LX, 440 (8 mai 1782) : "Inventaire après décès de Marie-Anne de Lutel, veuve de Jean-Baptiste Dumont, mère de Louise-Madeleine Dumont de Montigny."〕 He was educated at a Jesuit ''collège'', or grammar school, and went into the French military.〔 Through the influence of his family, he obtained a commission in the French colonial navy, and sailed to Quebec in 1715. For two years he spent most of his time as a patient in the Hôtel-Dieu (hospital) until he sailed back to France.〔
