Page 256. The Portal family is of noble Albigensian and Huguenot descent. See Chapter XVI.
Page 257. The Roumieu family is also of Albigensian and Huguenot descent. The name was originally spelt Romieu. Among the Naturalizations, List XIV., I have copied the name as Roumie: probably I should have decyphered it “Romiue,” (the clerk’s mistake for “Romieu.”)
Note.
The Rev. John Joseph Roumieu has sent me the following corrections and additional facts. The great Romieu was Romieu de Villeneuve, and his family became extinct in the third or fourth generation after him; he was Prime Minister to Raymond Berenger, Comte de Provence (not to the Comte de Toulouse, who was at war with the Comte de Provence, until Romieu obtained an honourable and advantageous peace). As to the refugee (whose ancestor was probably Garcias Romei, or Romieu, 1112), he had three sons (names unknown); John, the architect, was a son of one of these, and therefore the refugee’s grandson.
