The history of the last name Parcon

The surname PARCON has its origins in the French region of Burgundy, dating back to the 12th century. It is believed to be derived from the Old French word "parcon," which referred to a small parcel of land or a plot of farmland. This suggests that the name may have originally been an occupational surname, referring to someone who owned or worked on a small farm or land holding.

During the Middle Ages, the name appears in various records and documents from the Burgundy region, often spelled in slightly different ways, such as "Parcon," "Parcoun," or "Parcond." One of the earliest recorded instances of the name can be found in the Cartulaire de l'Abbaye de Cîteaux, a collection of charters and deeds from the Cistercian monastery in Burgundy, dating back to the late 12th century.

In the 14th century, there are records of a family named PARCON residing in the village of Montbard, near the city of Dijon. This family is mentioned in the local tax records and land registries, indicating their status as landowners or farmers in the area.

One notable individual bearing the PARCON surname was Jean PARCON, a vintner and merchant who lived in Beaune, Burgundy, in the late 15th century. Records indicate that he was involved in the wine trade and owned several vineyards in the region.

Another historical figure was Pierre PARCON, a soldier who fought in the French Wars of Religion during the 16th century. He is mentioned in the chronicles of the time for his bravery in the Battle of Moncontour in 1569.

In the 17th century, there was a PARCON family residing in the town of Auxonne, located in the Côte-d'Or region of Burgundy. One member of this family, Claude PARCON, was a respected lawyer and notary public who served the local community for many years.

While the name PARCON remained concentrated in the Burgundy region for centuries, some members of the family eventually migrated to other parts of France and even abroad. For example, there are records of a PARCON family settling in the French colony of Saint-Domingue (now Haiti) in the 18th century, where they established a plantation and engaged in the cultivation of sugarcane.
