The following information, in most cases, is divided by regions within Vienne, Poitou--the administrative division of France where about 1645 Vincent Rongnion was born.
The Sainte-Pezenne baptismal register (Cote:1 Miec 40 R 127) Note: Sainte-Pezenne is now attached to Niort.
There was no Regnon family noted.
There was some information concerning Protestants from Poitou in the Fond Dez papers.
The French genealogist found correspondence to Mr. Dez from Forrest Mitchell Runyan in 1936 . She did not copy the entire letter. We were able to locate a copy entitled: “ Part Record of the Rognon (Runyan, Runyon) Family in New Jersey”, dated 13 January 1933. In the letter Forrest Mitchell Runyan states:
“Vincent Rongnion was born about 1645 and came to America from Poitiers, Vienne, France. In all probability he descended from Roygnon or Rognon family, who were the lords of Sainte Pezenne just north of Niort, prov. of Deux Sevres, which is just west of Vienne.”
Other correspondence from this region included personally written notes from Mr. Dez, concerning his findings. Some of them are noted in the following bullet points:
