The Juchault family, originating from Brittany, was ennobled by the office of counselor in the Chamber of Accounts of Nantes in 1583 and maintained its nobility in 1669.[1] The family traces its lineage back to René Juchault, Royal notary, found in 1598.[2]
The family formed several branches, of which only the Jamonières branch remains.[2]
