FRENCH PROTESTANT EXILES

Page 224, line 42. — For Duboundieu read Dubourdieu.

NOTE.

I have just met with a French satirical epigram concerning “Jean Armand Dubourdieu, Ministre de l’Eglise Françoise de la Savoie,” and “Jean Dubordieu, son oncle, Ministre de le même église.” The epigram is worthless; but the heading shows that “John Armand”, was not the son of John (as I believed), but the nephew. This, however, establishes one fact, which I have maintained against bibliographers, namely, that “John” and “John Armand” were different individuals.

Comparing therefore the list of that family of Dubourdieu naturalized in January 1685 (see List X), with the descendants of Rev. John Dubourdieu named in his Will (which I have quoted in my Note to List X), I remark as to the Rev. Peter, and the Rev. Armand, in the Will, that they are the same persons as “Peter” and “Armand” in the List, if I may adhere to my former conjecture that the designation “clerk” was accidentally omitted after the father’s name. We cannot suppose, even if that father “John” was a layman, that “John Armand” the minister was that layman’s son; for that minister’s uncle was named “John,” and surely his father could not have been a “John.” Neither is it likely that the “John Armand” of the Naturalization-List could have been the “John Armand” who founded the Irish family of Dubourdieu; because the head of that family seems to have been an only son. At the same time it may be asked, Who was the “John Armand” of whom Peter and Armand were brothers?

Dubourdieu seems to have been the surname of (what Scottish Highlanders would call) a clan. The same baptismal names must have been repeated in many families of the clan; and one of these names was the double name “Jean-Armand.” The father, therefore, of John Armand Dubourdieu of the London French Church of the Savoy has not yet been identified.
