François de Galiffet de Caffin
François de Galiffet de Caffin (1666 – 1746) was a military officer in New France. He served as governor of Trois-Rivières from 1709 to 1720.[1]
The son of Pierre de Galiffet, seigneur of Honon, and Marguerite de Bonfils, he was born in
Recollets, and was criticized by the clergy there for his scandalous life-style.[1]
Gallifet returned to France in 1720 and retired to Avignon.[1]
