One of the earliest Richelieu ancestors was Marin Richard dit Lavalle (1641-1715) who was born in Normandy, France and immigrated to Quebec in Canada. He married Marie Madeleine Grangeon and they eventually settled in Portneuf, Quebec. They were the parents of Jacues Richard dit LaRichardiere (1676-1741). His great-grandson, Dominique Richelieu (1829-1854) was the first to move to the United States and was also the first to use the surname Richelieu. He settled in New York where he married Catherine M. Foster. Descendants live in the United States.
