[Messance Montrouge and her three husbands all apothecaries]

The Gamare family, of Norman origin, had six apothecaries among its members, from the end of the XVIth to the end of the XVIIth centuries. Two professors at the Faculte de medecine de Paris were also members of the Gamare family. Three granddaughters of Jehan Gamare and Messance Montrouge married apothecaries: Marie-Anne got married to Claude Vadurel, Louise-Henriette to Marc-Antoine Pellet and Anne-Claude to Claude-Francois Peaget, whose daughter married the poet Crebillon.
