D'Antignac

Surnames: D'Antignac, Antignac
Looking for any information on the Antignac family referred to in this entry from Historical memorial of the nobility:
"Family of Lorraine, from Brive, in Limousin, who was ennobled March 4, 1721, in the person of Philibert Antignac, Knight of the Royal Order of Military at St. Louis, captain Royal regiment abroad, in consideration its valeuret his good behavior."
My grandfather of this name came to America in 1775. He presented himself to the Continental Congress as a soldier and chevalier of France. Family tradition is that he was from Auvergne, a younger son of minor nobility. The above reference is all I have found so far that is similar to our family name. Any information would be wonderful.
Thank you for your time and assistance.
