Early Origins of the Tiery familyThe surname Tiery was first found in Champagne, where this illustrious family was established in early times. The members of this large family formed branches in other regions, as well. The branches Thierry du Boisorcant and de la Prévalaye were established in Brittany. The branch Thiry was established in Aunis, and the members of the branch Theriault settled in Burgundy. The majority of the North American families using the Theriot and Theriault spellings originate with Jean Terriot (Thériot and Thériault) (died c. 1685) from Martaizé, in Vienne, France who emigrated to Port-Royale, Acadia (now Annapolis Royal in Nova Scotia, Canada) 1 Early History of the Tiery familyThis web page shows only a small excerpt of our Tiery research.
