The above lists are from the old manuscript. For the ollowing Pam indebted to my correspondent. It appears that Mr Baudoin accepted his charge in Jersey in 1585, owing to some disagreement between the French ministers and the governor of Guernsey (Sir Thomas Leighton). Before that date, Mr Le Du had been pastor of St Martin’s in Guernsey. The ten parishes of Guernsey were about (or soon after) this date, however, given to French Protestant ministers, of whom the following is a list:—

Maitre Marin Chrestien dit Bonespoir, St Pierre-Port.
„ Pierre Le Roy dit Bouillon, St Pierre du bois et Torteval.
„ Mathurin Loulmeau dit Du Gravier, St Martin.
„ Pierre Merlin, exereant alternativcment le ministère de la parolle de Dien en ville.
„ Jacques Roullées, St André.
„ Jean Marchant, La Forêt.
„ Jean Du Quesnel, Le Câtel.
„ Jean De Cherpont, Le Valle.
„ Noel Perruquet dit De la Mellonière, St Samson.

  3. A family of this name was in existence in Guernsey, in the beginning of this century.
  4. The surname of the great Dr Allix was often spelt as above.
  5. Grandfather of DeanBrevint.
  6. This was the Comtesse De Beauvais, widow of Odet de Chatillon, commonly called the Cardinal.
