Daniel Sanfourche said de Lamothe, Sieur de Lamothe (1683-1763), was a criminal lawyer at the Parliament of Bordeaux from Sainte-Foy-la-Grande (Gironde). He was the son of Jean Sanfourche, Substitute of the King's Prosecutor.

His son Simon-Antoine Delphin de Lamothe was born in Belvès-de-Castillon in 1725, followed three years later by his younger son, Alexis. Simon-Antoine Delphin de Lamothe became a lawyer in the Parliament of Bordeaux at the age of 18. He was elected to the National Academy of Sciences, Belles-Lettres et Arts de Bordeaux in 1769, later reporter on subjects of physics, astronomy and public health. Simon-Antoine Delphin de Lamothe had correspondence with illustrious fellow citizen Montesquieu (political thinker, pioneer of sociology, French philosopher and writer of the Enlightenment) until 1751. In 1760 he bought the "Domaine de Muscadet" located in Entre-Deux-Mers in Bassens, Gironde for 28,500 British pounds.[1][2][3][4][5]
