The real family name is "Poiriau dit Bellefeuille". The particle "de" sometimes refers to nobility, which is not the case with this family. As for the spelling of the name, please bear in mind that these people were illiterate, and that the priests would write the names as they heard them; if a person did not speak clearly or had a speech impediment, then a name could easily be misinterpretated.
