It is originating in the Famille of our, family of knights of origin Breton established and spread in the Maine since the 16th century. He is the son of Charles-Pierre of Our, chief of squadron. Therese-Julienne-Catherine of Our, his mother, small-niece and goddaughter of the abbot Etienne Dausse, abbot of Doudauville, inherited his great-uncle in 1717. She died in Ernée in 1759.

Henri of Our accepted the tonsure with the Mans the March 31st 1724 and the other orders with Meaux and Paris, with the quality of clerk of the diocese of Mans.
