History
The family took its name from the seigneury of Faucogney in Franche-Comté. Its filiation goes back to Gislebert landlord of Faucogney and viscount of Vesoul who founded in 1092 a priory near Vesoul.[https://books.google.com/books?id=ajpGSEiGYtgC&dq=%22L%27origine+de.+cette+Maison+se+raporte+%C3%A0+Gillebert+%2C+Sire+de+F+aucogney%22&pg=PA96 Jean-Baptiste Guillaume, Histoire généalogique des sires de Salins au comté de Bourgogne, chez Jean-Antoine, 1757, page 96.][https://books.google.com/books?id=kj_lxP8AfnwC&dq=%22Gislebert+Jer%2C+vicomte+de+Vesoul%2C+est+mentionn%C3%A9+dans+un+dipl%C3%B4me%22&pg=PA65 Jules Finot, Les sires de Faucogney, vicomtes de Vesoul, H.
