It was from the beginning of the 17th century, during the last years of Henry IV's reign, that the land of Dampierre and Sommerécourt have started to be acquired by the family MICHEL, from Saint Menou (abbreviated as Holy Menehuld)- Suzanne Maillet's forefathers.
[According to Brouillon - historian of the Champenoise region - the sieur who lived in the house in place of that of the current Boivin, rented land to Sieurs Chatelain and Michel de Ste Menou. It is possible that this was the origin of the installation of the Michels in Dampierre]
In 1612, the "terrier" (i.e. the cadastre) of Sommerécourt noted that 3 parcels of land and 2 of meadows belong to the Sieur MICHEL of Sainte-Ménéhould
Gradually, at 17° and 18°C., the MICHELs became owners of a large part of the village by purchases from the Counts of Dampierre, who now only retain the hill of the castle itself, after having sold the meadows between high and low Rouillat to the grandfather of Suzanne Maillet,
Emile CHARPENTIER, notary to Think.
The parish registers of these periods mentioned the MICHEL, often named alternately Antoine and Jean-Baptiste, all farmers. Under Louis XV and Louis XVI, they lived on the nearby farm (currently farm DE COCKER) in Sommerécourt. They were freed from the lords, had a pigeon tree (it still exists) and thus, according to Granie, had the right to eat pigeon every Sunday.
This farm had a large room, a living room and a small adjoining room where the bosses slept. The children were sleeping in the attic. Grannie visited him before 1914, while Leon MICHEL's mother still lived there.
One of Granie's forefathers, Claude MICHEL, says "Monsieur Claude", lived there and shared his lands there in 1788 - I'm not.

One of his grandsons, Cyrille MICHEL, has a story that remains in memory, because it was an original, living in misery on her fortune. He was an uncle of Madame Flaman. Claude tells:
The St. Jacques House was sold to the LACHMANs. Claude again says:
""The LACHMANs had left Alsace in 1874. A son came to live in a house (married three times) and at the time of the sale of Saint-Jacques, he bought this house with the support of Grandpa CHARPENTIER (the grandfather LACHMAN was very grateful for it)"

He sent his children to the school in Dampierre, mounted on a single big horse that crossed the The bridge was not built and the swamp was to the bridge over the Yèvres.
"
He in turn divided his land in 1826 and built two farms:
- A first for his son 1 - Jean-Baptiste MICHEL (1792-1850), "Schelfout" farm, associated with the current ROUGIER house. When Jean-Baptiste MICHEL married his daughter Romine (Ieromine) MICHEL to Constant MAILLARD, he had them build a house, the one where the "furnace room" (with an old bread oven still in existence) was located on the right of the street door when they entered. Constant MAILLARD later sold this house and the land to Emile CHARPENTIER and his wife Sidonia PERSON, who built there around 1875 the current house of the ROUGIER and its street door.
The "From across the street" The family was handed over by inheritance to Michel Lamirailes, then to Jeanne MICHEL, wife GELLOT, and then wife HOILLEUX, who sold it to the SCHELFOUT before settling in Sainte-Menou and then in Chalons.
