The grandson of Flotard II de Lafon de Féneyrols, Fabien de Lafon de Saint-Projet married on November 12, 1655, Françoise de Reilhac, from whom Joseph Bonaventure, who married Marie Bonaventure de Montclar de Montbrun, on February 24, 1705, in the chapel of the Château de Montbrun, in Méallet (Cantal), daughter of Gaspard de Montclar and Juliette de Fontanges
